    Summary

    Beneath the Steam and Starlight follows Athena as she reemerges in the world of Palia, memories of her past painfully intact while she tries to establish her new normal.

    Summary

    Set in the world of Palia, this story follows Elara, a human who arrived in Kilima Valley months ago with no memory of her past. Now, Elara assists Subira, a Watcher of the Order, in unraveling the mystery of the Human Re-emergence. As they begin their investigation, it becomes clear that working with Subira may hold the key to unlocking her forgotten memories.

    A simmering connection grows between them, but past relationships, guarded hearts, and Subira’s deep ties to the Order threaten to keep them apart. Not to mention a certain Bahari witch that can't help but meddle. Together, they must navigate the fragile lines between duty, desire, and belonging as Elara confronts the mystery of her past. But how can they carve out a future when the only “we” appears to be Subira and the Order?

    Summary

    The Watcher's mission to Kilima was supposed to be easy. She was just a small part of a much larger investigation into the Human Reemergence, and this was just a small village.

    The cook's mission was to watch the Watcher. His life belongs to the Cartel and his sister's life relied on the Flow that the Cartel provided him. He had to know if the Order was catching on to the illegal activity flowing through the underbelly of the village.

    As their missions went on, Reth and Subira became more and more drawn to each other. The time they spent together was easy and comfortable. They made each other feel seen, understood, and less alone.

    But how long would be be able to hide his criminal activities?... and what will she do if she finds out?

    Summary

    Things could not go on like this. Not seeing any other way, Maji had to admit defeat and ask for help. “Hey, Embra?” “What, Scales? Finally letting Me assist?” “...” “Augh, just get it over with! I will assist if You ask.” “Can You make the majiri more fertile? Birth rates are plummeting, Your humans bred like chapaa but My people don’t. It’s gotten critical, just a dozen or so more generations and… poof.” She sighed, but glowed up bright, linking claws with Him to send alterations to His people. “Alright, they need heat cycles, and a better sense of smell to notice them and prepare. Mating is more likely to succeed if they stay locked together for a bit, let’s go with knots and fangs, an urge to latch on and let it happen should do it. There!” “How long will it be until We see any changes?” “Mmm, hard to say, some might change sooner than others. A week, maybe a month?” Uh. Wasn’t that a bit soon, for such a change? Maji had expected generations to pass, but Embra WAS the more experienced Goddess, surely Her way was correct…

    Summary

    Somewhere behind the folds of cold silk, there was a warm light shining through. Small candle flames, the heat barely felt on cool, bare skin. There was another fire, deep inside him, core temperature rising steadily. It was waiting impatiently for someone to feed it. The dark-haired tailor shifted slightly, wrists bound with soft, smooth fabric to the bedposts. If anyone would see him like this, he would probably die of embarrasment. There was only one person in the world who was allowed to lay their eyes on this scandalous sight.

    And it had all started with a request from his best friend...

    Summary

    Five years had passed. Five slow, agonizing years since Ronen was supposed to be dead. Reth knew he had a larger chance of being wrong than he did being right, but something about the masked figure slouched in front of him felt familiar. It could have been the sound of his breathing, or the way his shoulders pinched on every inhale. Maybe it was the black hair, littered with streaks of silver, even if they seemed a little more prominent now. But whatever it was, it was something to cling to. Reth could feel it in his very blood, this couldn't be anyone else.

But when a certain bug scout attaches to her like a tick and doesn't leave, she learns more about herself than she would have spending her days alone.

    Summary

    “I just…” He frowns, takes a second and his eyes light up on you. “We’ve… been keeping it a secret,” He says. “And, y’know how I am with trust issues, it’s not you and I didn’t want to get ahead of myself and tell you and have it not work out, plus—”

    Tish looks confused. You are confused. Reth is still rambling and your brain is struggling to keep up. Is he dating someone? It kind of feels like you’re having a heart attack. Is this a heart attack?

    While you assess your situation, you notice Tish looking between you two before she puts her hands up to her mouth.

    “Of course,” She breathes in an almost whisper. “Oh of course! I should’ve known,”

    (in which you and Reth fall in love backwards, discover your past and sort of, save the world)

    Summary

    Maeve always wanted a family. Well, not "always." Although she's made a name for herself among the townsfolk, ever since dropping out of the sky, she's felt an emptiness she can't quite place.

    When it came time to claim her path, Maeve knew it had to be mining. Quiet time spent in the dank caves of Bahari Bay meant less time to be surrounded by the abundance of love that filled her new home. Little did she know, she wasn't the only person using the solitude of the mines to hide that same feeling.
