Summary
Twelve years after Alder’s death, Tally, Raelle, Abigail, Scylla, Khalida, and Adil stand as the last witches alive. The war is lost. Fort Salem has fallen. Witchkind has been hunted to the brink of extinction.
Their final stand against the Camerilla ends in blood and fire, courage spent against an enemy that was never meant to win. They fight anyway, until there is nothing left to give.
In the aftermath of their defeat, as the last echoes of witchwork fade from the world, the Mother appears. She offers them a single, impossible mercy: a chance to go back, to right the wrongs that led them here, to protect witchkind before it is too late, and to save the people they loved and lost.
Or
A time travel fix-it. Because Talder deserves to be happy, goddamnit.

Summary
A lyrical odyssey through life, death, and legacy, told from the soul of General Sarah Alder as she relives her most difficult decisions. Alder must reckon with the weight of centuries of war, the cost of power, and the aching pull of one witch who sees her not as a legend—but as a woman. At the edge of eternal rest, something holds her back. Something she never dared to name.

Of Faceless Poetry and Clueless Lesbians by Wooooof

Summary
For all intents and purposes, Sarah Alder was being courted. Except, there was the fact that she had next to zero idea as to who was behind it, for all of the six years of increasingly florid gift-giving and gut-churning poetry. Or maybe she just refused to see what was red —right— in front of her.
or; The faceless devotee who terrorized Sarah on every Valentine’s day actually had a face after all, a dimpled one.

While Raelle, Abigail, and Izadora race to find a cure, Sarah confronts the truth she’s buried for years: she’s in love with Tally Craven. And if she loses her now, she may never recover.

Summary
“This season is about connection,” she continued, “It reminds us that even in the harshest winters, we find light. Not just with our magic, but in each other.”
Her eyes lingered on Tally a heartbeat longer.
“But,” she added, breaking the solemnity, “it’s also about good food, bad sweaters, and occasionally losing a spirited snowball fight to your cadets.”
Laughter rippled through the crowd.
“So tonight, celebrate—not just the season, but the people who make it meaningful. Take this light with you, into every moment and every season to come.”
Or: Sarah and Tally's Yule together as a couple was full of surprises-an unexpected little guest, a snowball fight that got out of hand, a runaway gingerbread, a raging snowstorm, and a touch of love spell that made sure everyone was feeling the holiday magic.
TL;DR Sarah knocked Tally up xx

Summary
“I believe you said we have to extend our ranks, Sarah. So meet Tally Craven, a newborn vampire,” Nicte introduced her and if Tally didn’t know better, she would say she heard disrespect in her voice. “Red, this is the one and only Sarah Alder. The almighty Ancient One, the Head of the Coven.” Yep, definitely disrespect. “And Anacostia Quartermaine, her… pet?” Nicte smirked and Tally could see the woman with silver blue eyes clench her jaw in anger.
Or a story where Tally is a freshly sired vampire and Sarah is the Ancient One. Soft Sarah, by the way.

Summary
“Quite some time? So, we’ve met before?” Tally whispered hesitantly, unsure she wanted the answer at the look of familiarity on the General’s face.
“Yes.” There’s a fond smile of recollection on the older woman’s face as she answers the redhead. The deep blue of the General’s aura almost sparkles with it.
“When?” The question squeaks out of terrified lips.
“The first time?” The older woman asks for clarification. Tally can only nod as she feels as though she’s just swallowed a hot coal. The General looks to the ceiling squinting, as if recalling a memory.
“It was 1679 in Eastern Europe, I was four.” General Alder tells her and Tally promptly chokes on her own saliva.

"Who is that?" Tally asked, pointing to the single figure.
"That's Sawie," Byron said easily.
Tally's brow furrowed. "Sally?"
"No, silly," Byron giggled. "Sawie."
"He means Sawah," Davena piped up from across the table.
"Sarah?" Tally asked. "Who is Sarah?"
And that's when she heard it.
The melodic voice that she had dreams about since she was a teenager—unmistakable and smooth, with a rich timber.
"That would be me."
