Summary
*Title taken from novel of the same name published in the 1800's*
Poe Dameron was supposed to be back at camp by now, but of course the Earl's guards had to get in the way. He grumbled, adjusting his position so his legs didn't fall asleep. The gold in his bag jingled faintly. He chanced a glance at the road, desperately hoping someone would come along and distract them long enough for him to get away.Series

Summary
Julian "Jaskier" Pankratz is a nineteen-year-old student at Cambridge University studying Politics and International Relations. He hates it, and he's at risk of being kicked out for poor academic performance. Failure would mean returning to his family home, and that's just not an option. He wants to travel the world singing about death and destiny; heroics and heartbreak. So he needs to pass. He takes an elective module in English Literature on love poetry, firstly because it'd piss his father off, but also because he's heard the professor has an interesting PhD student.
A passing interest begins to transform into something a whole lot more, and Jaskier finds himself faced with hard truths about life, about the society in which he lives and about himself. Society glorifies heroes and the sacrifices they make. But what happens to them when they're no longer useful?
Title is taken from the song: "If These Scars Could Speak" by Citizen Soldier.

Summary
There’s a legend in Mansewood, nearly as old as the town itself, about a pack of werewolves that once lived in the forest. They say only one survives; a monstrous and snarling beast with fur like a blizzard and fangs the size of daggers. They say it guards the lands and all creatures in it, and no hunter has faced it and lived to tell the tale.
Steve doesn’t care about any of that. He only wants to know if it prefers T-Bone or ribeye, and would it please stop tracking dirt through his house? He just mopped the floor.

Summary
Husk is the Gambling Overlord, and one night after attending a strip show at one of Valentino's clubs, decides he needs to get Angel Dust out of there. Husk doesn't know him, has never even met him, but something in his gut tells him that he needs to save the spider. Perhaps a gmae of Blackjack is in order....
A VERY slow burn love story.
Valentino is his own content warning. This story is going to get pretty rough at times, so read the tags. I think most content warnings tend to spoil things. Read. The. Tags. I will update them as I go along. I will provide warnings if I feel the chapter is particularly rough.
All songs mentioned, even chapter titles, will be marked with a hyperlink to Spotify, so you can listen along if you like. This is not a songfic, there just happens to be songs.
Take care of yourself and enjoy.
(I started writing this in April of 2024, and have a lot -57 Chapters- already written as of July 2024)

Summary
Husk may not be an overlord anymore, but he still has a few cards up his sleeve. After a month of attempts to rescue Angel, he might be left with no choice but to draw the card that could blow up in his face.
He's gambled it all away once before and look how that turned out. He has a shitty green chain shackled around his neck to show for it. His only option is to stand by and watch it all play out, unless he wants a repeat of past mistakes.
He's useless, as always.
So, why can't he stop thinking about it?
OR
A story about the fragile edge of Husk’s humanity when he begins to care.
