Worth the Candle by Alexander Wales (cthulhuraejepsen), cthulhuraejepsen
Fandoms: Original Work

Summary
A teenager struggling after the death of his best friend finds himself in a fantasy world - one which seems to be an amalgamation of every Dungeons and Dragons campaign they ever played together. Now he's stuck trying to find the answers to why he's there and what this world is trying to say. The most terrifying answer might be that this world is an expression of the person he was back on Earth.
Note: Up there at the top, it says "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings". This is very distinct from "No Archive Warnings Apply". The warning that there are no warnings is your only warning; do with it what you will.
Update schedule is, as always, whenever I feel like it (though there is a spreadsheet tracking word count). Most discussion for this work takes place on /r/rational whenever a new chapter is posted.
This story is now cross-posted on Royal Road.

Summary
Written for /r/WritingPrompts, "[WP] The rules of who goes to heaven and hell are clear, definite, and inarguable. You are an afterlife lawyer, who helps people figure out if their potentially sinful plans are technically allowed by the rules." Could probably have been a better short story with more work, posted here for posterity.

Summary
This is the first half of chapter 137 of Worth the Candle, and for that reason, contains spoilers for that work. The difference between this version and the canonical version is that almost all instances of gendering (typically male for dwarves in the Anglish of Aerb) have been replaced by the more accurate Groglir versions. See chapter notes for translations. I think this reads worse than the canonical version, but if you like weird pronouns, this might be the version for you.

Summary
Contains spoilers for Worth the Candle up to chapter 56.
This is a side story recounting the group's first session of Arches, a tabletop game created by Juniper partly to demonstrate to the group what tabletop roleplaying games are actually like. The rules for Arches (and stats the characters are using) can be found in chapter 2 of this work, though they're mostly explained in this story. This was mostly an experiment in trying to make people playing a roleplaying game entertaining to read, as well as writing larger group conversations and a little bit of character work. (A fair amount of it was written contemporaneously with ch 56.)

Summary
Written for one of /r/rational's weekly challenges, but completed too late for it. Posted here for the sake of completeness. Probably not canon compliant, given how many of these movies they've made.

Summary
A series of vignettes set in an apartment complex on Earth Gimel, mostly to get some junk about Ward out of my brain. Assume that this is spoiler scoped up to the current chapter of Ward, as I'll probably be adding to it as the serial progresses. Might have some dread continuity to it, if I go long enough.
