Summary
Erik flees Paris hoping to keep the woman he loves safe by putting as much distance between them as possible. With help from the Girys - and that of another old friend - he tries to rebuild his shattered life and reinvent himself. But however far he runs, and however much success he finds, his longing for Christine continues to dog his heels. And after a nearly decade on this new continent, it threatens to consume him and those around him once again...
This is a continuation of my previous fic, Secrets in the Dark, and an attempt to retell the events of LND in a way that is more to my own liking.Series

Summary
Severus learned at an early age that jack o' lanterns weren't just for fun. His mother told him their origins, told him how the seams of the world came a little loose around halloween time, how the barrier between worlds was thinnest in the dead of night on All Hallow's Eve. Things could come through, if you weren't careful. But if you carved a jack o' lantern, and placed it outside of your home, it would keep watch there, and frighten away those malignant spirits. Severus carved a pumpkin for their home in Cokeworth every year after that. And when he returned to Hogwarts as a professor, he began carving them there, too.
This is a little one-shot fic inspired by the "Pumpkin Carving" Snapetober prompt (snapetober prompts by sxvxrxssnape on Tumblr) in which Professor Snape does his bit to protect the castle during the Halloween season... much to the displeasure of the house elves.

Summary
This fic follows the events of a previous work, A Window of Silk and Paper.
The Yiling Laozu has been resurrected in a new body. The Sects are scrambling to pick up the pieces after the death of the Chief Cultivator. Reunited, with their true feelings revealed to one another, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have returned together to Gusu.
In the peaceful sanctuary of the Jingshi, the two of them are learning what it is like to be together, to love one another, and to be happy - even if one of them is still plagued by ghosts from the past, and struggling with how to live in a stolen body he doesn't recognize.

Summary
This was inspired by @bigmamag on tumblr, who said:
"I just hurt myself thinking of the fact that pictures don’t exist in The Untamed and the only images Lan Wangji has of him is those shitty evil yiling patriarch caricatures that he just straight up burns whenever he sees out of anger. But what if on a night hunt like year 10 after Wei Wuxian’s death, Lan Wangji saves a very nice family’s daughter from a monster and they mention someone else helping their village and visiting a long time ago and the daughter shows him the accurate depiction of Wei Ying she drew back then of the nice cultivator who made her laugh through her injuries and Lan Wangji is frozen as Wei Ying smiles at him again, and he stares so longingly at it that the daughter insists that he keeps it and Lan Zhan does right next to the picture Wei Ying drew of him."

A Soprano's Secrets by CoatNTails
Fandom Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux, Love Never Dies - Lloyd Webber, Phantom of the Opera - Lloyd Webber
27 Aug 2025
Summary
A retelling of the events of Love Never Dies in which I indulge my imagination and wonder how it would be if things had gone a little differently. Part one focuses entirely on the rendezvous of Christine and Erik on that fated moonless night. Part two follows Erik across the Atlantic as he tries to reinvent himself and finds that he cannot unshackle his heart from the longing for Christine. Canon events and characters are a salad-bar mixture taken from Leroux's novel and Andrew Lloyd Webber's two musicals (Phantom of the Opera and Love never Dies.)

Two bros chilling on Tatooine, five feet apart ‘cause they’re emotionally damaged by Shananiga

Summary
Maul is running on fumes, having once again lost everything he built. In his desperation he searches for a forgotten Sith temple, where he hopes to find a way to defeat Sidious.
Ben Kenobi is at peace, content to live in solitude and watch over Luke from a distance. The last person he expects to find floundering in the middle of the Dune Sea is his oldest adversary.
Between two lonely survivors of a bygone era, resentment turns to solidarity, and a broken warrior consumed by revenge finds a new purpose.
(Set after the Obi-Wan series and Shadow Lord. I’m working under the assumption that the latter won’t end happily.)

Summary
It is wrong to watch them, wrong to hear Christine gasp, and watch her pretty fingers dig into the back of Erik’s head, disturbing the few hairs there.
She releases a low, guttural moan, and Raoul forgets himself for a moment, a single instant, and gasps.
Erik hears, his eyes search the space and land on the mirror in panic and fury.
Christine stares at him, her mouth dropping open as she struggles for words. Slowly, she takes in his appearance: hair wild, pupils blown. She must know what he’d been doing. She must realise.
Her eyes, shining in the candlelight, flick between him and Erik who stands between them, watching, looking ready for murder, and none too unhappy with the thought.
Raoul knows that any movement he makes towards Christine will likely be his last, but he doesn’t look in Erik’s direction at all.
He is, as he has always been, watching Christine, and offering himself to her.
She looks once more at Erik before, at last, her eyes settle on Raoul. “Join us.”
