Summary
Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.
This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

Summary
An established Clove/Gale smut anthology.
Intended to feel more like a series of one shots, largely unconnected, a bit slice-of-life-ish, with the overarching story of Clove and Gale discovering and exploring a dom/sub dynamic, as well as a few other interests along the way.
This story takes place in the same universe as i want to drink your water, and the context will sometimes be relevant.
Series
- Part 8 of the clove/gale multiverse

Summary
The ship came to their shores in the third year after the war ended.
One ship, just one, and Penelope stood on the clifftop near her husband’s palace and looked down upon the harbor below, and clenched her fist in her himation until it was wrapped around her so tight that it was imprinting its weave pattern onto her skin. Just one ship, and the men she could see disembarking were too few to be fifty, and none turned to hare instantly up the hill towards her.
Penelope turned away to head into the palace, to wait for the bad news to find her.

Summary
V has a ticking time bomb in her head—a prototype biochip now threatening to overwrite her mind with the engram of legendary rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. Betrayed, desperate, and running out of time, she’s forced to seek help from the very corporation she once turned her back on: Arasaka.
Goro Takemura, once Saburo Arasaka’s stalwart bodyguard, has been branded a traitor after being framed for the murder of his master. Driven by loyalty and vengeance, he vows to unmask Saburo’s true killer—and claw his way back into the good graces of the very corporation that wanted him dead.
When their paths collide, V sees Takemura as her only shot at stripping out the biochip that’s killing her, while he regards her as the sole witness to expose his master’s true killer. What begins as a fragile alliance of necessity slowly unravels their beliefs. As the lines between enemy and ally blur, something deeper takes root—one that could crumble at any moment or become the only thing either of them has left.
