Summary
Something other than a giant, alien brain festers in the city of Baldur's Gate. From dead men wandering the sewers, to soulless patriars scheming from their gilded palaces, something vile has taken root to consume all it touches.
To save a city that's deemed them criminals (and to save their own asses), these two losers must cheat, stab, and flirt their way to the heart of the rot and carve it out, piece by festering piece. And figure out what, exactly, they mean to each other.

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by Stellar_Eclipse
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on a list of characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

Turns out, it’s not heart disease that gets you. Not a car crash, the second coming, or even a plain old slip in the shower that removes you from this mortal coil.
It’s motherfucking aliens.

Summary
If he had known just how much of a pain it would be when the old lady asked him to babysit Grimm... Puck never would have agreed.
Sure, at first it was kind of fun. Murdered teachers. Dodgeball. Giant Mice. Evil plans to blow up the school. All good things. Even tied up in spider silk in the secret underground cave, the boy fairy had found ways to enjoy himself.
No. No, the moment Puck realized he had gone too far – fallen too deep into this bodyguard experience – when the trouble officially wasn't worth it anymore – was when he woke up from a magical coma only to find Sabrina Grimm laying in a puddle of poison.
The moment that he realized that he’d messed up.

Summary
She scanned Jareth’s smug expression before shifting her attention to the clock on the bathroom counter. “It’s getting late,” she commented noncommittally, knowing it wasn’t the same as ‘it’s time for you to leave now,’ and he wasn’t going to treat it like it was. She didn’t want him to.

Summary
She cringed away from him. “Do you… do you spy on me?”
Jareth recoiled slightly at her word choice. “You’ll forgive me for checking in on you from time to time, Sarah, particularly when I am in your thoughts.” His lips twitched almost imperceptibly. “I felt a… pull.”
Sarah froze. “You can read my thoughts?”
“Not exactly,” Jareth explained, “but I can feel them. The content of your thoughts is vague, but the emotions are palpable. There is a certain tug on my magic when you are thinking of my home realm. Or”—his eyes narrowed slightly—“of me.”
