    Summary

    "But he who dares not grasp the thorn
    Should never crave the rose."
    ― Anne Brontë

    All men must die. All roses must wilt.

    There is a streak of wildness behind steel eyes. Two decidedly Stark features, yet they belong to Anya Whent. A Southern lady born in the shadow of Harrenhal with the blood of the North in her veins. Behind a fair face are a kind heart, a gentle soul, and a beast. A beast that takes a Hound to tame it.

    A bat disguised as a wolf. A man disguised as a Hound.

    Undergoing editing as of Summer 2022.

    Summary

    Jane Lockwood wasn't always Jane Lockwood, and though the memories of who she was before are nothing more than blurred fragments of thought, there are moments of lucidness. Moments where she'll hear a name or look at a face and a bolt of terror will seize her by the throat and shake her. It's why she tries so hard to keep herself out of supernatural business. The less she's involved, the less likely she is to trigger her own curse... she's done pretty good for herself, right up until Richard dies. Now Jane is back in Mystic Falls and her carefully built walls and safeguards are crumbling down around her. Somehow, amidst the drama and the bull shit, Jane finds herself in the center of a very tangled web of romance when a Mikaelson with dark eyes and fancy suits turns his attention on her. Jane just didn't realize that getting the attention of one Mikaelson means getting the attention of all of them.

    Summary

    Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.

    This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

    Spoilers for the entire main plot and Gale's romance
