Summary
It's summer ceasefire again but the Texas heat doesn't sear away the creep of germs, of infection, of insidious clear mucus and muck that take up crowded residence inside her nose and lungs. With it comes fever - one that burns away the binds of much that Pyro aims to keep sealed away. But Engie's there, even if he feels, despite all the PhDs, entirely out of his depth. He's not counting on getting sick himself nor waking up, delirious and feverish, to the sound of the truck being revved by someone that has no license to drive.

Summary
Pyro bakes in the Texan sun, over summer ceasefire, and sticks fast like glue to the idea that she must do something utterly encompassing of the depth of her affection and gratitude for Engie on his birthday. The perfect opportunity knocks upon her door, and who is she to leave it shut? It matters not that her quest will take her over state lines and through subterfuge and milkshakes - and it certainly matters not that she kind of forgot to tell him where she was going.

Summary
With every toll of the abbey bell, it seems, there is another death. There is a strange plague creeping in the shadows, one that drives the congregation to a frothing, desperate madness, one that incites violence and terror and fervor. In the wake of the abbot's death, it is asked - are they being tested? Are they being punished? Someone needs to take the reins before they plunge over the edge and Copia is glad it is not him.

Summary
You squirm, even though you know he cannot see you properly through the confessional, because being embarrassed about sex in a Satanic church is like being afraid of getting wet at the beach. And yet you are, your needless shame so thick and cloying you are afraid to accept help for the certainty it is futile. That is fine, Secondo muses, you can be nervous; he is sure and certain that he can and will help you. For you are a lost sheep, and he is the unholy shepherd. He counts sheep when he sleeps, after all, and you have strayed from his flock. He will come to you when you rest and show you there is nothing to be afraid of.

Summary
Maeve thinks that Secondo Emeritus might be one of the most awful men she's ever met. He's intimidating, callous and cruel, and seems to despise her very existence. Of course, she's also supposed to marry him.
But even if she steadies after the uncomfortable lurch her life has taken, there is the Emeritus family to join - saturated in Papal politics, tragedy, fate, and Satanic mystery. There are secrets to uncover in the belly of the abbey; truth and bones waiting in the dark.

Summary
Blackwall is hiding something from her, Halle thinks, and it makes her feel wry and disappointed that he does not trust her enough to tell her what it is. He has always been distant, but she will not press, not when he is the very best of men, her stalwart and steadfast protector. When she finds out, accidentally, what it is, it is not so much a metaphor that the secret he keeps may devour her.

Summary
Secondo Emeritus, the wealthy, retired boxer, can be found most nights sipping wine at his brother Primo's restaurant. There, he people-watches. He isn't lonely. He isn't bored. He isn't expecting to spot you - dipping your toe for a mere night into the world in which he wades. What would happen, he wonders, if he throws you in the deep end?

Summary
Judy, a single mother of eight raucous boys that were often in trouble, was familiar to a pitying look. It was difficult to make friends when she couldn't talk about her past, to explain that she had once been someone that would surely be the object of awe and envy of everyone in this town. There was an entire part of her life that remained under lock and key, that had taken place in more countries than she could count on two hands and a string of lovers that had bought her exotic things and given her children. There had been one lover, a best friend from an assignment in France, and he had been the most special person she'd ever met. She thought of him often, and would frequently wonder with terrible pangs in her heart if things could have been different, in another life. Maybe there was still time to try again.
A backstory for one of the most underrated ladies in tf2 and her love affair with Spy.

Summary
In the wake of his shattered life as an ambitious young police officer, Aesop Sharp picks up the pieces and gives them to the welcoming arms of the church. Becoming a man of the cloth, however, doesn't grant him immunity from his own ghosts. They chase him to the small town of Blackbeach, where to Aesop's despair, he finds temptation after temptation in order to fill the yawning void, alongside the relentless pursuit of his own desperate guilt. Alcohol, pills, and his grief all threaten to pull him under, but none are so strong as the pretty doctor who is determined to be his friend.

Summary
Mourn Watcher Priory Ingellvar is catapulted into the duty of figuring out how to save the world - a demanding task on its own, even without realizing she feels embarrassingly red-faced and flushed any time Professor Emmrich Volkarin looks her way. She might love him, she thinks, but surely he is more interested and more impressed with Bellara, or quite literally, anyone else. For what does she have to offer save the blood on her hands - for what is left when even that is not enough?

Summary
Faster than she could blink, the carefully maintained situation was slipping through Heather's fingers - she had to leave, now, immediately, run from everything she knew and had only come to know less than a year ago. Rookwood was the long arm of the law now, steering the Ministry straight towards her for all she'd done. Professor Sharp was there to guide and guard her, which was a relief - but there was also Sebastian, also in danger. The three of them made a formidable pair, but it was a growing concern how long they'd be able to stick together.
A fugitive Hogwarts Legacy AU for my MC, Professor Sharp, and Sebastian!

Summary
You come home from college looking forward to a Texas summer chock-full of comfort and nostalgia, hanging out with your dad. But what you don't expect is to look at your dad's best friend in a completely new light - a dangerous, warm-and-sweaty kind of light. You're fucked, you realize, because you find Joel Miller hotter than the sun above your head.

Summary
Years on, they are still married, albeit perhaps not as happily as expected. Trudging on through what she hopes is just a phase of marital problems, Heather finds a routine ancient magic dispatch to be not so routine after all. To her horror, she's ripped away from her time and the Aesop she knows to a time much earlier where everything seems out of place - Aesop definitely doesn't want to become an Auror and is crass and insolent, Phineas Nigellus Black has a crush on her and Dinah Hecat is still young and unlined. Heather wants nothing more to desperately get back to the life she knows, but she finds herself thwarted at every attempt. All she can think about is how much she wished the last conversation they'd had before she left wasn't an argument.

Summary
1: All of Aesop Sharp's colleagues know the terrible story of how he was cursed several years ago, left with a dead partner and a leg prone to bouts of excruciating pain. However, only a select few know the whole, complete truth - that the ex-Auror was additionally cursed with vampirism, doomed to live a perpetual half-starved existence under the thumb of Headmaster Black. However, when new professor Heather Yarrowfield joins the Hogwarts staff, she has an idea or two about how she can help.
2: He sees the way Heather ghosts around the castle, infuriating in her reluctance to not ask for his help when he would quite possibly throw himself in front of a train for her. Aesop finds out the reason for her recent pale pallor and can't bring himself to regret extending a hand in help, even then.

However, it's harder to put the past to rest than either of them had anticipated.

Summary
Heather Yarrowfield is Hogwarts' brand new fifth year, carrying an overwhelming load of silent responsibility - between her studies, poachers, Loyalists and Ashwinders, there's barely a second to breathe. The sheer stress begins to worm its way into every part of her life, cracking her resolve like roots through stone that she will make it out of this war alive.
Her well-meaning but absent mentor Professor Fig is not enough to keep her tethered, and Heather finds the grounding she is looking for in other professors at Hogwarts, who are more keen that she does not bear her incredible burdens alone. Heather worries that she is shattering faster than she can be mended.
