Summary
Autumn, 1878
When Alina Florence goes off to Ireland from England to see her cousin in hopes to travel the world with her family, a storm rushes in, taking her under the depths of the sea, completely unknown if she'll survive.
Rescued by a creature of the North Atlantic, Dorian Ayres, he gives Alina a place to stay within an undersea manor that he calls home-- Cerulean Hall.
Cerulean Hall is a ghastly sight to behold, rapidly decaying at every step Alina takes. There's a chill coming from the east wing of the manor, and tempting whispers from the west wing-- both locked with mystery as Dorian keeps the keys tightly within his claws. As one door opens for Alina, another closes with the intent on forcing Alina out.
As more secrets unravel with each discovery in the undersea manor and the other inhabitants that reside there, Alina has to make a choice:
Break the curse, or become a new part of it....
Alina will go on a journey of love and survival as she tries to find the witch and break the binding contract and the curse set upon Dorian before his fate is permanently sealed.

Fraerling-sized, battle-worn, and carrying secrets no one believes, she becomes both a puzzle and a wonder—forcing [Strategists], students, and even the great Niers Astoragon to confront truths beyond their understanding.

Summary
Rody should recoil. Should resist. But instead, he lets out a laugh — a sharp, broken thing.
“You’re a bastard.”
And Vincent smirks, satisfied. “Maybe, that’s what it takes.”
Rody looks at him and for a second, he sees it — that same frantic hunger, that visceral need that has been plaguing him. Unsated. And it’s not soft nor gentle, but it’s real.
or, a somewhat horror, dark romance, slow-burn-ish, trauma-bonding fic with a splash of civil unrest and culinary homicide.

“Wait, how do you trap a man?” Peter questioned after a moment of mischievous silence.
“Same way you catch most things I imagine, with bait,” Sirius wagered, James hummed in agreement.
“Like sweets?” Peter innocently pondered, eyes wide as if he could imagine a pile of his favorite chocolate bars waiting to cage him. “I know I’d fall for that,” he sighed dreamily.
Sirius couldn’t help an amused chuckle. "I was thinking more along the lines of a sexy person."
"Where will we find one of those?" James teased.

写了太久了的星露谷同人小说，自我满足之作。
写了四十多章发现自己真的很能流水账。五十多章了，再继续下去可以支援灌溉系统。
由于开始写的时候游戏还没有中文版，登场人物的名字皆为英文。
说不定日后会放出翻得稀烂的自制英文版。作者攻受混乱，届时请参照tag自卫规避。
