    Summary

    You know the pact with the Devil? Well, it’s kind of like that...

    Jim was just a regular teenager trying to impress the girl he had a crush on... and maybe, finally, stop being invisible to her. He never imagined that a stupid dare during a teenage party could lead to such dire consequences.
    You don’t mess with Fae Rituals...

    Or how to live (or survive) day-to-day with a Changeling.

    Summary

    Where Strickler discovers that Barbara is a host—and not just to any Symbiote, but to none other than Kanjigar, the Trollhunter.
    And where Bular is more than ready to destroy the Trollhunter and his host once and for all—even if that means using an Impure.

    A coffee date, a revelation, a threat, another meeting (less romantic this time), a fight, a brush with death, and finally, a choice: love or duty.
    A certain panicked Changeling scrambles desperately to save the life he put in danger—but cannot bear to see extinguished.

    Summary

    It has been days since Barbara last heard from Jim, and while the lack of contact is concerning, she is working on coming to terms with the fact that all children grow up and move on to adulthood. They get busy and overwhelmed, and sometimes they forget to call their mothers. He's fine; she's certain that she's just over-reacting. This time was meant to come. She knows that.

    Until the world starts falling apart...again.

    A routine road trip to drop off a couple of familiars with their new adoptive families spirals into every parent's worst nightmare.
    As Arcadia Oaks is slammed by one apocalypse after another, and revelations about the actual status of Jim and the others' mission come to light, it seems that the universe it set on destroying everything Barbara holds dear.

    In a moment of need, Barbara draws destiny from the rubble.

    Summary

    Stricklake month is here!!! Les goooooo I love these dorks way too much

    I'm super excited so I'm going all-out on these prompts, you've been warned.
    As said, any given prompt can be the angstiest thing me and my best friend can concoct or the purest fluff you've ever read, absolutely no in-between.

    Week 1-Utopia/Dystopia: The Trollhunter—an ill-fitting changeling—, now trapped in the Darklands, snared and brought before Gunmar The Vicious, is accursed to the same rock cage, the same stone quarry, the same endless bloodbath, the same scorching glare, the same sun-less verdict, the same viceral nature as he had once been forged in all those centuries ago.
    ...Well...almost the same.

    Week 2-Royalty/Guardian: King Arthur and Gunmar the Underlord of all trolls turn their blood-soaked resentment into a greater war: Mankind against Trollkind.
    Or is it truly Gunmar's war to be won at all?
    After all, there's a reason the King's men approach her castle with their horses.
    ...And dare face the hound that guards her.
    Week 3-Childhood Friend/Mysterious Stranger:
    Week 4-Water/Fire: Barbara tries to cook for herself after a shift, need I say more?

    Summary

    When Walter "Stricklander" Strickler, a young changeling fresh in human form, was transferred halfway around the world to California, he did not have high hopes for his ongoing survival. Being directly under Bular's reign of terror, at ground zero of the Janus Order's operations, he suspects he's been summoned more as cannon fodder than for any genuine purpose. But at least there is one small spark of hope in the form of Barbara Lake, unexpected friend and solace in the difficult environment he will have to survive.

    Until Merlin's amulet decides to snuff that out.

    Walter is tasked with identifying the new, human Trollhunter while she is vulnerable and unprotected. Before Trollmarket can mold her into a threat to Gunmar's return. At the juxtaposition between his responsibilities to the Janus Order and his loyalty to the only friend he has in this world, Walter must make a choice.
