    Summary

    The silverwood was gone, and with it Qifrey loses his sight, Olruggio loses his patience. The girls are terrified, but Qifrey keeps insisting he'll be fine. As he learns to live in a world gone dark, Olruggio and their apprentices must teach the one who always carried everyone else that he no longer has to bear the weight alone.

    Or, Qifrey's blind.


    Updates every weekend. This is fully written and currently undergoing edits before posting. I recommend reading up to Chapter 93 for the full emotional payoff, though it can still be read on its own (you won't able to see the foreshadowing). The tags is also covered for upcoming chapters, btw.

    Summary

    Olruggio rumbled. He could feel the vibration in his chest, from Olruggio’s to his own. “I’m not leaving you,” he said, voice gruff and fumbling. “I don’t — I want — you know I’ve wanted to hug you too, right?”

    He sounded terribly embarrassed. Qifrey giggled, half in endearment and half mind-numbing relief. “Right,” he murmured, fingers relaxing by a fraction. “Sorry. You used to be so affectionate with your hands.”

    Summary

    This is a business transaction, you think, the horrible pounding of your heart giving you chest pains. A trade.

    Your baby. His baby. A union of flesh in return for a crumbling business empire, one you know you can raise from the ground like a phoenix shaking off the ash of rebirth. The keys to the kingdom come with a price- but it will be worth it in time.

    You just have to bear the irritation of your baby's hedonistic father with stony disposition and firmness. He can't shake you, no matter how skilled he becomes in finding your insecurities.

    Summary

    Imagine that for orcs, the hair beads have a deeper meaning than just being an ornament.
    Just like dwarves, orcs have beads that are given by parents on special occasions like birthdays, by friends as tokens of comeradeship, after a battle to commemorate their bravery, and private beads given as a sign of affection.

    Reader doesn't know of this and casually gives an orc warrior a hair tie with beads after redoing his braid - which for him means she want's to start a courtship with him ❤️

    Summary

    A request for "gentle first time between a priest and a demon" that spiraled completely out of control into a nearly 10k ramble
    I just felt like that scenario required a lot of set up to feel believable!

    Reclusive Father Thomas lives a quiet life in a small church in remote Red Hill, alone but for the memories that haunt him, until the day a shadow appears in the garden. With simple honesty, he catches the shadow in a game of truth-telling, and an ancient force of nature is forced for the first time to contemplate its own existence.
