    Summary

    A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera.

    Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty.

    Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn’t ask for this, nor the trouble that followed.

    There’s no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking.

    Summary

    Calypso Island's humble population of 12 is dwindling! Could it be that people are simply tired of shakes, expanding their palette? Or could it be that the lovely residents of the island have found other pleasures besides Papa's consumables?

    Gremmie was one of those Calypso residents. It's not that he got tired of trying to catch the perfect wave, but perhaps a day outing to Toastwood or Oniontown was all he needed for a fresh breath of air.

    Summary

    Being so close to Mitsuba is incredibly strange. If Mitsuba were human, Kou would be able to hear his breathing, feel the warmth radiating off of him, smell whatever shampoo he'd last used or something like that. He's not getting any of that. If it weren't for the physical sensation of somebody leaning up against him, he might not even know he was there. Mitsuba has very little presence.

    Still, Kou wouldn't change being next to him for anything. Even if he is a bit unnerving.
    -
    Kou and Mitsuba encounter each other every day over the course of a week, and shenanigans ensue.

    In the aftermath of the Goblin Rebellion, shadows stir in the North.
    Merith Vulchanova returns to Hogwarts not for nostalgia, but for answers—buried secrets, ancient magic, and a family legacy tied to something far older than dragons. As the lines between myth and history blur, and the truth behind the Zmey surfaces, she must decide what she's willing to awaken—and what it will cost her.
