Summary
A cook, a hunter, and a displaced Immortal of an ancient race walk into a bar. Sounds like the start of a bad joke
Utopia comes at a devastating price. Akei remembered the feeling of dread and emptiness as everything crashed around her. She was born at the end of forever, just in time to watch it fall apart. Little did she know the life that awaited her once she was brought out of an eternal dream.

Summary
Vitani Rea emerged thirteen years before any other human, a child with a slate as blank as a baby’s. She’d been taken in by the order and raised Majiri. Discovering she had an affinity for flow, they trained her to be an extraordinary mage like her ancestors.
Now, after refusing to let her naivety to be taken advantage of anymore, she settled herself far away in the Kilima mountains, close to their dangerous neighbor, The Elderwoods.
Alone, on her own, and free, she was content to live without anyone to bother her, except for a grimalkin who traded her gold in return for the wood’s ancient human and majiri novelties.
Life was good, life was fine.
At least until an ormuu headed majiri girl with fiery red hair and her even more stubborn dad barged into her life.

Summary
Beneath the Steam and Starlight follows Athena as she reemerges in the world of Palia, memories of her past painfully intact while she tries to establish her new normal. There will be no content warnings past the preamble as to avoid spoilers. All sensitive content is written with real experiences taken into account as to not make light of any of it. Anyone who knows anything about Palia knows that this game's world is so much darker than it seems... If you have ideas, fan art, or would like to contribute anything to the story or its sister work, Abridging The Steam and Starlight, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/xunvroxXCL8ztgRd8

Summary
While keeping track of an ancient beast that lurks the woods - the one that killed Taylin- Hassian can’t help but constantly stumble upon that human girl out in the field. With her endless empathy, Stella has made it her path to take care of stray birds and study the fauna despite the dark hunter telling her not to intervene with nature. Unknown to her, his motives go far beyond revenge and her drive will do nothing but awaken an unwanted tension in Kilima that either can go wrong or ignite sparks for something else to blossom.

Summary
A dream. Obviously. That's where Lyla finds herself, in this make believe world where everything comes easy. With no memories of her real life, and a deep ache in her chest, all she wants to do is get home.
But it's not a dream. It's a game, created by God-knows-who, and it's trapped her here. The only way out? Find whoever needs her most, and help them. Preferably without falling in love along the way.
OR
Hassian does have a heart. It is buried beneath a mountain of defence mechanisms and hides a deep chasm of pain, but it is there, and its beat is strong.
(this summary needs work)
also please note: this fic includes real quests and dialogues from within the game, but I have taken several liberties -

This work is a supplemental piece to Beneath The Steam and Starlight.

Summary
Irbisica wakes up in an unknown land with no memory and no idea who she is. She tries to fit in and fend for herself, while also dealing with several rather peculiar occurrences - like a ghost inhabiting the house she's been temporarily given, mysterious forest creature hunting people - and the forest itself, as it appears to be a sentient being with a mind of its own. On top of that she finds herself very interested in the resident hunter.
There's also a very moody cat, because I can't write a story without a cat.

Summary
When an amnesiac human literally drops into his world, Hassian's plan is simple: dump them on someone else and forget they exist. Too bad Juniper has other ideas - like refusing to tolerate his attitude, calling him out when he's being a jerk, and somehow making him care despite his best efforts. What starts as the worst hunting lessons in Kilima's history slowly becomes something neither of them saw coming. And when the corruption in the Elderwood forces them to rely on each other whether they like it or not, neither of them expected to find something worth fighting for.
