    Summary

    Love had never left him.
    It had only changed its shape.
    Owen understood that now, standing where the world had ended and refused to bury him with it. The earth had long since gone still. The fire had gone quiet. Even the wind had learned not to speak his name. And yet it remained, love, coiled deep inside his ribs like something wounded but immortal, something that could not die no matter how many times he killed it.
    He had done everything in love’s name.

    Summary

    It's a fitting punishment for a monster. To want something so much, to hold it in your arms, and know beyond a doubt you will never deserve it.

    Summary

    The thing that wears the doctor's face is a monster of Owen's own making.

    It had been fun, funny, at first; a fitting punishment: to take the shell that was once Legs, hollowed out by vampirism, and forge him into the very thing he feared. Satisfying, to see the moment he realised he could not escape what he was about to become.

    AU where vampirism wipes all human memories, and Owen gets more than he bargains for in turning Legundo. As the days roll on and the fledging's (soldier, weapon, once-doctor) ledger runs red under his watch and still Legs doesn't remember, Owen starts to question exactly what he wants.

    Summary

    “Gerard! There she is,” Ylfa barks, nodding at him and then to Elody, “Plight of the honeybee!”

    Elody has entirely no idea what that means, but in a blink of understanding, her husband seems to. He shifts as he recognizes his wife, and in turn Elody barely recognizes him in that moment. “No!” Gerard booms, and though there is fear in his voice, it is distinctly uncowardly. “Ylfa, no!”

    AU of what could happened when they were fleeing the castle.

    Summary

    If Elody had simply wanted to destroy him, Gerard would have—well, he doesn’t know if he would have been able to make his peace with it, but he would have understood the impulse. It’s a terrible thing, to know for certain that the best Fate can manage for you is a useless, thoughtless husband who is always going to be half-child, half-frog. Even more terrible for someone like Elody, who is everything strong and noble and forthright, who serenely left her childhood behind with a grace and dignity that Gerard, no matter his fancy clothes and careful speech and golden crown, has never managed to emulate.

     

    But Elody doesn’t just want to destroy Gerard. She wants to destroy the world, and all Gerard can think about are the Freds.

     

    As Destiny's Children turn in for the night, Timothy asks Gerard a question. Gerard doesn't like his own answer.

    Summary

    Gerard of Greenleigh believed in the power of words. Even before being shunted into his twice upon a time, he knew the strength of a simple phrase. Enough to irritate his parents. Enough to insult a fairy. Enough to form a frog curse.

    A Character Study on Gerard and his relationship with Elody, with Red, and with the truth.

    Summary

    When the doorbell rings, Gerard's on his fourth attempt at frosting a rose.


    He blinks when he opens the door. Unable to do anything but stand there, silent.
    Elody has her hair up in a messy bun. Her heel taps out a pattern (impatiently? anxiously?) and she stares at him.
    Confused, he frowns, and she gestures at his outfit with a raised eyebrow. It's then Gerard remembers he's wearing the t-shirt Pinocchio picked out for him as a joke -- a bright pink one, that says in large cursive letters below a cartoon of a smiling frog: "Toadally Kissable."
    Elody tries and fails to hold back a smile. "Do you mind if I come in? To talk. I'll be quick."
    Gerard doesn't know what to think, much less what to say.
    Thankfully, the fire alarm goes off before he has a chance.


    Gerard and Elody learn to be friends, again. Featuring a baked good every chapter, a runaway bride, and a glassy catastrophe.

    Summary

    "I'm Pinocchio!" He tugs her past a messy and unorganized living room. There are toys? Toys, coloring books, and stuffed animals are scattered throughout the room. The couch has been pulled out into a bed with rumpled sheets. "That's not important right now! You have to help Pib!"

    "Who is Pib?" Elody asks, helplessly pulled along in his wake.

    Gerard so much explaining to do.

    After she helps Pib. Whoever the hell Pib is.

    Or Dr. Elody Greenleigh nee Arden wakes up to frantic texts from her estranged husband. The night only gets more bizarre from there.

    Summary

    Elody was a Princess. And that meant she had to follow rules.
    Princesses were quiet. Princesses were kind. Princesses knew not to get pondweed and grass stains on their lovely dresses.
    Princesses said please, Princesses said thank you, Princesses didn’t talk back or they went to bed hungry.
    And - above all - Princesses did not fall in love with frogs.
    (Alright, maybe that was just her.)

    Summary

    When Timothy woke up to his second life, his clothes were a little more threadbare. There were a few new patches on his jacket’s sleeves and a little less fat on his cheeks. There was no grave in his garden, but the weight on his chest was a little bit heavier.

    There were no pictures of Jack on the wall either, and none of Ylfa.

    Timothy's shadow was still there though, of course, darker than ever.

    Summary

    A river of russet and black spills onto his lap—it’s soft, exquisitely so. Despite being a cursed gift from Winter, the pelt is warm beneath his hands, and in a moment of weakness, Zhongli holds the thing to his cheek, delighting in the feel of it.

    Common sense is cold, and he lowers the fox’s pelt. This…is not a companion. Not even close! Still, to spurn a gift from an Archon is to be a fool, so when he goes to sleep that night, as a human would, he tucks the pelt into its golden box and places it into his closet.

    In a Liyue where Zhongli retires alone, he is lonely and adrift. Even the strange gift the Cryo Archon sends him is not quite enough to alleviate his boredom, until a knock at his front door changes everything.
