    Summary

    "In the distance, something caught his eye. There was an unassuming little peach tree on the side of a hill. He could feel something about it was unusual, a slight glow to it against the gloomy sky. As he drew closer he realized the tree was growing out of the massive hollow stump of an old dead one. Though it appeared ordinary, there was an energy to it- a very faint spark of the divine that drew Hua Cheng like a moth to a flame.

    He knew, whether intentional or not, this was a grave marker."

    A coffin rescue fic with an alternating PoV.
    Before he can begin to recover from his experience, Xie Lian first must accept he's actually out of the coffin. Hua Cheng wants to avenge his God, even if that's not what he would want.

    Don't worry too much about Lang Qianqiu. He'll have a bad time, but I promise I won't kill him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An engaging read. Insightful alternating points of view, especially the interludes centering on secondary characters.

    The artworks every chapter is also a blessing upon our hearts. This fanfic is the work of a talented artist in both visual and narrative mediums.

    Edit: And the sequel just keeps giving!!!

    Excellent slow burn. Soft feelings and solid action scene.

    Summary

    Taylor's first night out goes horrifically wrong. After an accident, she winds up with fourteen voices in her head, marking her as Butcher XV. This certainly complicates her planned heroic career, but sometimes you have to take refuge in audacity.

    This is a slight AU where the Teeth returned to the Bay in summer of 2010, causing mayhem and havoc as they set up shop. Taylor's life didn't change too much from these events, even if the junior Teeth were slightly more agreeable at school than the Merchants had been. Then again, they still didn't lift a finger to help her when she was shoved into the locker. Her first night out happens a bit earlier than canon, causing a few interesting butterflies.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A complex For-Want-of-a-Nail AU that explores what would have happened if Taylor had become the Butcher at the start of her cape career.

    The power fantasy aspect is there, but not too outrageous. Or at least, it does not ramp up too quickly.

    Now with 100% more lesbian romance. Must be something in the water of the Bay.

    Absolutely brilliant (and insane), love it to bits.

    Broken and dysfunctional Found Family for the win.
