    Summary

    Nearly a year after his defection, all Shadow wants to do is live a life of peaceful obscurity.

    For a while, a new country, job, and identity allowed him to do just that. But after uncovering the long forgotten history of his new home in the countryside, Shadow comes face-to-face with remnants of a curse from centuries passed. And when his new home suddenly becomes unsafe, Shadow finds he has no choice but to cooperate with the fearsome beast that rules over a castle hidden away from the rest of the world.

    While kept together by circumstance, the two soon find that in order to forge futures for themselves, they must first address the past.
    —

    AKA Sonic is a scorned prince cursed to be a werehog and Shadow is a former military weapon running from his past.

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    “You were just trying to kill me,” he said, with flat incredulity.

    “Dramatic,” Shadow replied, to Sonic’s open-mouthed disbelief. “I wasn’t trying to kill you. You know that.”

    He did know that. That didn’t mean he wasn’t going to be a petulant little shit about it, still.

    When your arch nemesis; turned rival; turned world-saving partner; turned kinda, sorta friend falls into a conundrum of epically horny proportions, the reasonable course of action is obvious. Right?

    Summary

    David woke up and for one blissful second didn’t know where he was or what had happened.

    “What do you think will happen?” Quinn asked when he knew David was conscious again. “That weak beta of yours will be in charge. They might think you’re dead. We left such a mess on that roadside. They would have gotten to your truck and found the blood. You put up such a fucking fight… I really thought the wreck would take it out of you but I guess you’re alpha for a reason. Still. Three vamps and those broken bones…”
