Summary
A Prophecy From Gaia, as foretold by Seer Brin, Year 963 Before Devotement (BD):
"Magic will wane like the moon from the night sky, We of scale and tail become scant and sporadic. Mother Earth seeks to correct what has gone awry, A child she sends to us, most enigmatic. The Immortal Sovereign, Truest Mate."Aloy, orphan and adopted daughter to Rost, is sent running suddenly one night, chased away by the kind old lady in town who delivered news of her father's death. What will follow is a tale of prophecy, fate, and teaching a pompous noble living like a hermit on top of a mountain to do something about the state of the continent. Love was never in the cards. Or was it?

Summary
In a world of washed out color, one can find their Soulmate by the progressive deepening hues as they grow physically closer. First red, then orange, then yellow, then green, and finally blue as you stand right in front of them, close enough to touch.
Except that Nil had been born completely color blind - or Moonblind according to the Carja. He had no Illuminated.
Kotallo hadn't seen hues deepening until the Red Raids. Is he so unlucky to have a Carja Painted?

Summary
Mirzhev had escaped serving Jiran to fill his father's empty pantry only to end up serving a Bandit Clan leader from the south at Shattered Kiln. At least it was his choice this time. All was going reasonably well until two years after Avad took the Sun Stole from his dead father's head. Stories came filtering in from the odd hostage they kept, the random person looking to join up, of creatures that went bump in the night. Blood for hair, eyes that glowed in fire light, razor sharp teeth. They slunk in the red weeds, whistling to one another, and drug their human meals silently into the night never to be seen again.
He didn't believe the stories, just campfire tales to tell when it grew cold at night.
Until he found out...there was some truth to them.

Summary
“Yes. You were found nearby by the Iron Bull and his Chargers. They brought you the rest of the way here. You were nearly dead,” Nil explained as the man attempted to move, to sit up using an arm he didn’t have any longer. He pressed his other hand on the man’s chest to keep him down. “I healed you, but I am not skilled at that school of magic. You should keep still.”
The man’s eyes took a little more focus as he looked Nil up and down, his hand releasing Nil’s wrist with a hiss. “Bas saarebas.”
Nil wasn’t entirely sure he hadn’t just been insulted and sniffed accordingly. “Grateful thing aren’t you?”

Summary
"It's not safe outside these walls, Cas!"
"Dean, if the world has already ended, then all that matters is the truth. And I want mine."What do you get when you mix a touch-starved, neurodivergent, career academic on a journey of self-discovery, a recently-disabled former soldier doing his best to save every last soul he meets (who refuses to admit that his injury has changed his life in the slightest), a dystopian road trip, coping skills that require safe words, and the persistent hold of a society that was irretrievably broken long before it finally collapsed?
The apocalypse hasn't seen anything, yet.

Summary
In which Amara doesn't bring back Mary, she brings back John Winchester.
Dean is uncertain what Amara's meaning is when she brings John back, and struggles with coming to terms with the new family dynamic. Sam tries harder to keep the peace than he used to, and Cas does not get along with John at all- though he tries. Testosterone is at an all-time high as these four men struggle to coexist in the hunting world with very different ideologies.
We explore just how much the brothers have changed in the ten years without their father's guidance, the trauma they still haven't resolved, and the feelings that Dean and Cas hold for one another despite the very real and new barrier that is John.

Summary
Dorian Pavus has never been close with anyone. Not in the politicking of Minrathous, not with his peers, and certainly not with his lovers. But he's also never been forced in close proximity with someone on campaign for months at a time. Someone who has noticed he has a lot of nightmares...and seems determined to figure out why.

Summary
Only a fraction of the population is even capable of forming a soul bond. Of that fraction, fewer still ever find their mate.
Jim Hopper has never been an exceptionally lucky guy.
