Halsin struggles to put his past to rest, but it's haunting him in more ways than he realizes. He'd thought his time in the Underdark was long behind him, an unpleasant pitfall of youthful hubris, but remnants of his captivity remain, the youngest of which unwittingly stumbles to his rescue.

Lythra can't stop running from her past--hasn't, since she managed to make it out of the Underdark. She has no love for Menzoberranzan, or her House, or anything she left behind in the dark. Or nearly anything.

Still, she'd rather die than return--a prospect all the more likely with a tadpole jammed behind her eye. But perhaps, with the help of a renown druidic healer, she can go back to what remains of her half-life in the sun.

C42 HAS ME GOING INTO CARDIAC ARRESTV

This fic is literally one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read!! I love how the story keeps progressing, some things are sorted, but others appear along the way, and they all make so much sense!! You are so good at worldbuilding, keep up your whimsy <33

Thank you so much!! I’m not sure I know how to end stories so they just keep going tbh, and then I fall in love with the characters even more and don’t want to stop lmao

All she wanted was to escape her captors. She hadn't meant to stumble upon Alucard's castle, nor infringe on his markedly thin hospitality. Still, she had little choice once he decided to take her in, set on nursing her back to health even though he seemed to find the very sight of her contemptible.

Are the castle walls enough to keep her past at bay? Or will she become yet another ghost wandering the crumbling halls?

After being abruptly transferred to the BAU at what she suspects was Gideon's request, Cassie Boann struggles to find her footing. Shy and solitary by nature, the transition is made all the more difficult when Dr. Spencer Reid seems to take an almost immediate dislike to her. Unfortunately for them both, their respective areas of expertise leave them paired off more often than not. But when Cassie's past literally starts hunting her, Spencer is forced to consider that he might, in fact, not hate her at all.

Quite the opposite, actually.
