    Summary

    Martyn came to Sallow to kill a werewolf.

    It was supposed to be a standard contract for the Warden’s Office. A Class-III anomaly on a remote island, and a pocketful of gold when they finished the job. For Martyn and his partner Scott, it really should have been simple. But Sallow is a place of disruptions. A place where the air smells of rotting flowers and fish keep coming up wrong. And at the center of the island’s weirdness sits Ren: a lumberjack with a warm smile and a kindness that threatens to undo everything Martyn believes in.

    There are three tenants to monster hunting:

    I. Evidence outweighs instinct.

    II. The wall between Man and Monster must be absolute.

    III. You must silence the unnatural to preserve the natural.

    (or: Scott and Martyn are monster hunters and go to kill a werewolf, they get a whole lot more than they bargain for)

    Summary

    “I need an 80% or higher on this quiz thingamajig to, uh… to pass. I technically have, like, two other assignments for this class but I’m so beat. I was just gonna finish this and call it a night…” Ren explains.

    “... How long’ve you been on it, then?” Martyn asks, eyebrow raised. Ren pouts.

    “... half hour,” he mumbles. Martyn lets out a quiet, fondly exasperated laugh.

    --

    AKA; Ren stays up far too late trying to get some homework for his anatomy class done, and Martyn convinces him that it can wait while sleep cannot.

    Summary

    Prison never would've been Scott's vacation of choice. The food is bad, the clothes are hideous, and worst of all, he has very little time for his true passion: thievery. But now that he's newly free after three years, he has plans for something big, and he knows he can't do it alone.

    Cleo is trying her best to be content. Her gang, the Crastle, is one of the most feared in the city and she has a decent stake in the city's illicit trade of magic. Things are good, if monotonous. But that might just change after she receives a visit from an old friend, and an offer she can't refuse.

    Pearl swears up and down that her life isn't a mess. She finally has a normal job and normal friends, and she's only mildly paranoid. She also swore that she'd never do another heist again, but that was before Scott found her, and dragged her back into the past she wanted to leave behind.

    One last job. That was the promise. How hard could it be?
    — ☆ —
    TL;DR - A 1920s fantasy AU in which Scott, Pearl, and Cleo are a team of thieves.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    Listen, Porty had slept on some decent motel beds and leather couches and particularly cushy alley ways. But they didn't hold a candle to this couch. No, Porty loved this couch. He'd marry this couch. He'd spend forever with this couch.

    It was his couch now.

    Red Son was just gonna have to deal with that.
