Summary
When the Clergy begins receiving death threats against their current Papa, Secondo, Cardinals Terzo, Perpetua and Copia reach out to a prestigious Private Security and Investigation Service for support to safeguard their leader, their congregation and their future as a rapidly growing Satanic church.
Former Police Officer, Máire O'Connell, and former soldier, Tony Jackson, have worked all around globe for a Private Security business. They were sure they had seen everything the world could possibly throw at them; that is, until they find themselves rubbing shoulders with the Occult.
Attraction and lust begin to burn as Máire notices the stoic and grimacing Cardinal Copia, whilst Jackson finds himself enchanted by the kind, curly haired Cardinal Perpetua. As trust develops, feelings follow despite a gnarly fraternising policy, cultural and spiritual differences, and assumed positions of power between the body guards and senior clergy workers.
Can Máire and Jackson work with the quirky Satanic Cardinals and help bring peace unto the congress once more before more harm befall the Clergy?

Summary
Epic battles. Heart-wrenching choices. And two chroniclers who won’t let you take it too seriously.
In a world of spirits and clashing realms, heroes rise and fall under the weight of duty, courage, and heart. Epic battles rage, ancient rivalries ignite, and every choice carries consequences that ripple across worlds. Amid the danger, the trials of growing into one’s own legend test loyalty, love, and the limits of power.
Meanwhile, back at BLADE Barracks, mischievous chroniclers Eclipse (Cross) Rook and Lin Lee Koo sprinkle their playful meta commentary, reminding readers that even in a tale of fire and fury, humor, insight, and perspective are never far behind. The Realms’ Legacy is an adventure where stakes are high, hearts are higher, and nothing—especially the story itself—is quite what it seems.

Summary
Chase hesitates for a long moment before raising his hand to the door. He knocks once, twice, and waits, unsure what emotion swirls in his chest.
For a moment it is simply quiet.
Then a thin, raspy, “Come in.” answers him.
Chase takes a calming breath, in and out. He pushes the door open and lets the soft wash of light carry him in.
The Queen is resting on her sickbed, surrounded by shadows, with only the light of a small lamp hanging above her head. It casts her in gentle spotlight, like a lantern sunk in a deep ocean. When she sees him, her eyes widen slightly and a small smile spreads across her lips.
“Hello darling.”
-------------------
Spurred on by a sleepless night, Chase goes on a solo adventure into a book. It seems like the standard fairytale of a princess looking after her kingdom, but... Buddy is nowhere to found and family responsibilities soon start piling on the princess' shoulders.

Summary
Most often, revelations of memory are soft things, pillowed in sweet, sometimes-sorrowful rumination. They are stirred to mind by a lost bauble suddenly found, or a nostalgic scent carried on the wind. A chance reunion with an old friend. Sometimes, however, on those very rare occasions, one's past could return to them delivered on the edge of a knife.
Teia just never imagined that the man who saved her twenty-five years ago would be the one wielding it.
A canon-divergent prelude to an Enemies-to-Lovers set up between Zevran Arainai and Andarateia Cantori, where a chance meeting twenty years prior set the two on a path of eventual collision, placing them both on opposing sides in a war over the rise or fall of the Antivan Crows. Zevran, who was once Teia's savior, suddenly becomes a threat to the lives of herself and her underlings, and she must weigh the price of her own life debt against the cost of fallen friends. And at the end of the night, someone must be made to pay.
Written Piece for the Rara Avis Zine.

Summary
The Ultimate Hope, out and mingling and knocking elbows in a large group of people, was simply too irresistible an opportunity to pass up; or so Munakata had theorized. Kyoko had more aptly noted that this was likely a plan to scare Makoto out of trying to increase his influence, and Byakuya had snarked that it was nothing but political pettiness, grown men comfortable in their role taking offense that the power balance should be tilted by someone so young and green.
But any plan to help diminish Despair’s influence on a larger scale was one Makoto was willing to agree to, and so here they were.

Summary
"Consider everything a game," she said. "It's a rule."
"Whose?"
"Mine."
...
At Hogwarts in the 1970s, the war hasn’t breached the walls, but the rot has. The Gryffindors are still fighting. The Slytherins have learned to party. And the Irish? They're wondering why they showed up at all.
Lines drawn in scars. Trust is currency. And loyalty is just another hand to be played.
And Remus? He drifts into the orbit of an elusive Slytherin hiding a secret darker than any spell, sparking a chain reaction neither is prepared for. He had always kept his darkness in check. It’s easy—when no one dares to look too closely. Then she arrives. Sharp. Quiet. Addictive. And they wage psychological warfare on each other.
Behind prefect badges and Quidditch games, a different war brews: one of bloodlines, money, and the remnants of ancestral magic. As alliances fracture and identities blur, everyone finds themselves caught between prophecy and politics, desire and duty, freedom and fate.
This is a story of many players—each with secrets to keep and stakes to raise. Because at Hogwarts in 1977, every gathering is a gamble. And some bets are bound in more than coin.

Summary
Guardians are sustained by Belief. The more Belief they have, the more power, the less they strictly need petty mortal things like food and rest. Jack, lacking the solid Belief bases of the rest of them, has to sleep regularly. Inconvenient, for a seasonal spirit used to going months at a time without rest, but the fastest way to regain the memories from his baby teeth is by dreaming through them, so that's alright.
Until, of course, it isn't.
