Summary
The storm did not come upon the Majestic without warning.
It couldn't; the morning sky had been clear, but even then there had been a certain feeling in the wind, and a general spirit of unease upon the deck. And then the clouds had begun to pile themselves up, slow and dark and undeniably ominous, and the glass already plunging low.
And now, with the sky gone black and terrible, the wind high and the sails straining, and the captain's brow having taken on a cast near as grim as the dark seething water, James could not shake free of a suspicion that he had somehow drawn it to them.

Summary
A request for "gentle first time between a priest and a demon" that spiraled completely out of control into a nearly 10k ramble
I just felt like that scenario required a lot of set up to feel believable!Reclusive Father Thomas lives a quiet life in a small church in remote Red Hill, alone but for the memories that haunt him, until the day a shadow appears in the garden. With simple honesty, he catches the shadow in a game of truth-telling, and an ancient force of nature is forced for the first time to contemplate its own existence.

Summary
"If there were any other way to have you," Sombret said, stopping Michel, who had one hand on the door. "Then that's how I would have you. If I could court you, even trick you, I would. But this is not an ideal world, Lord Howard. Not even a polite one. If I am to keep you, it cannot be by polite means."

Summary
Inspired by a tumblr post by libations-of-honey-and-milk:
In fairy tales and fantasy, two types of people go in towers: princesses and wizards.
Princesses are placed there against their will or with the intention of ‘keeping them safe.’
This is very different from wizards, who seek out towers to hone their sorcery in solitude.
I would like a story where a princess is placed in an abandoned tower that used to belong to a wizard, and so she spends long years learning the craft of wizardry from the scraps left behind and becomes the most powerful magic wielder the world has seen in centuries, busts out of the tower and wreaks glorious, bloody vengeance on the fools that imprisoned her.
That would be my kind of story.Series
