    Summary

    Every December, employees of Canaan Mall are selected at random to serve as Santa's elves. This year, Hot Topic employee Harrowhark is one of the unlucky winners. And that's not all - the awful Abercrombie model from across the hall is playing Santa. As the countdown to Christmas begins, Harrow fights whiny children, impatient parents, and worst of all, the attentions of the hottest Santa the world has ever seen.

    “How do you do it?”

    “Do what? Look this good? Maintain such a chiseled physique? Some people will tell you it’s 80% diet, 20% exercise, but what I’ve learned is—”

    “No, you insufferable dingbat. How do you do…this?” Harrow gestures at the tree, the big Santa chair, the velvet carpet that will soon be filled once again with people eager to meet Santa. “All the holly jolly Santa shit.”

    “Ah. Well, my dear, let me explain. Here, sit on my lap.”

    “I think you know that I will do no such thing.”

    Gideon shrugs. “Worth a shot. First of all, you’re as cuddly as a cactus, as charming as an eel, a bad banana with a greasy black peel.”

    Summary

    Working security at an architectural firm isn't the thrilling career Gideon had seen for herself, but it pays the bills. When a series of gruesome murders take place, she finds herself dragged into the path of her childhood tormentor, now a well-respected forensic anthropologist. Together they get pulled under by the current of desecration and accusation, fighting for truth as unlikely allies.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Non-traditional spin on Omegaverse, heavy on the worldbuilding and the inherent body horror of being an Alpha.

    Summary

    The heirs to the Houses have been summoned to compete for the hand of God's only daughter, with the promise of Lyctorhood thrown in the mix. Harrow's only goal is to preserve her House, which she plans to do with or without Gideon Ptolemaia's hand in marriage. But the Princess — and the other postulants — aren't what she expected.

    AKA: Harrow competes in a contest to marry Gideon, but mostly makes friends she doesn't want, patches her relationship with her brother cavalier Ortus, and tries to figure out why looking at Gideon gives her migraines.

    Summary

    She pulled the black fabric up from her shoulders and draped it over her head like a hood. It hid all the pale hair entirely, cast that blood-adorned face in jagged shadows, and if Kiriona let her eyes go out of focus, it was easy to pretend she reminded her of-
    “Fuck.”
    ***
    Harrow is gone. Tower Prince life is infinitely depressing. And oh dear, who put Ianthe Naberius in charge of role playing for tonight?
    Just some angsty Kirianthe smut set vaguely during NtN
