Summary
In which Lauren exists aside a doting husband and a taxing career. There is always fruit on the counter, flowers by her bed, and a gun beneath her bedside table. Kieran has spent four (or five) years pretending that the stains pressed into his sleeves are paint.
The facade is bound to break. Their little life is a sham, everyone has something to hide, and a vow till death is one that could come to fruition far earlier – and in a manner far more vicious – than they could have possibly imagined.

Summary
“Have you experienced any… longings?”
“Nothing like addiction. At least, I don’t believe so.” The longing in question is more of a lament. A desire to feel infinity.
It’s not that this desire is anything new, born of the drug. Never, not for a moment, has it lain dormant. It’s just that he now has the means to do what he’s always known he must do: Survive.
It should be a simple matter, life or death. Life and death. It is, inherently, not.
(a good man may abandon a fraction of his soul to become something great.)

Summary
There is something amiss in Ketterdam.
To the Caracal, who’s always worn the grime and smog of the city as a sort of cloak, it should be of no concern. Yet strings are pulled, and an offer is put on the table: twenty million Kruge for the brutal bastard who can manage to scrape together a solution.
As the Bastard of the Barrel and lauded jewel of the city’s underbelly, it seems a heist is in order.
A Wraith. A sharpshooter, A Heartrender, a wayward son. A former witch hunter, a cat with claws that’ll grasp for anything within his reach- and some things outside of it.
Join the six on a journey to remember, filled with secrets, betrayal, and perhaps a little bit of good, old fashioned luck. This is Ketterdam as you’ve never seen before.
Welcome to the Hyacinth Heist.

Summary
Yet ironically, for the past ten years, he had been the blindest of all...
Officer Kieran White was blessed (or, as he’d argue, cursed) with the ability to detect lies. Living by the day and blaming only himself for the past, he grasps for the answers he so desires to put his past to rest. Not that he really deserves that solace.
Enter Lauren, better known as the Purple Hyacinth. An assassin bent on taking down all that she kills in the name of, but what for?
Expect some familiar events. Expect some new ones. (And maybe there will be a bit of cheesecake.)
Sometimes, two flowers will grow as one, will intertwine- no matter which the sun opts to fall upon.
Sometimes, there's an enticing cold to be found within the sunlight.
And, sometimes, there's a comfort that lies within the darkness, too.A Roleswap AU.

Summary
After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.
As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.
A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

Summary
“You sound nervous, Viktor. Is something –” Then he caught sight of the small hand clutching the side of Viktor’s vest. Jayce’s words stuck in his throat as a face peeped out from behind the scientist, a young girl with startlingly blue hair looking up at him with fear. “Um – who’s this?”
. . . years later . . .
“Just this once,” Jinx whispered, “Can’t I prove that I can help my family instead of watching them die?"
On the night Jinx loses her family, Viktor finds her and takes her in as his apprentice on the Hextech team. But when he falls ill, the lengths she’ll go to save him might just drive her mad…
