Summary
In which Lauren exists aside a doting husband and a taxing career. There is always fruit on the counter, flowers by her bed, and a gun beneath her bedside table. Kieran has spent four (or five) years pretending that the stains pressed into his sleeves are paint.
The facade is bound to break. Their little life is a sham, everyone has something to hide, and a vow till death is one that could come to fruition far earlier – and in a manner far more vicious – than they could have possibly imagined.

Summary
“Have you experienced any… longings?”
“Nothing like addiction. At least, I don’t believe so.” The longing in question is more of a lament. A desire to feel infinity.
It’s not that this desire is anything new, born of the drug. Never, not for a moment, has it lain dormant. It’s just that he now has the means to do what he’s always known he must do: Survive.
It should be a simple matter, life or death. Life and death. It is, inherently, not.
(a good man may abandon a fraction of his soul to become something great.)

Summary
There is something amiss in Ketterdam.
To the Caracal, who’s always worn the grime and smog of the city as a sort of cloak, it should be of no concern. Yet strings are pulled, and an offer is put on the table: twenty million Kruge for the brutal bastard who can manage to scrape together a solution.
As the Bastard of the Barrel and lauded jewel of the city’s underbelly, it seems a heist is in order.
A Wraith. A sharpshooter, A Heartrender, a wayward son. A former witch hunter, a cat with claws that’ll grasp for anything within his reach- and some things outside of it.
Join the six on a journey to remember, filled with secrets, betrayal, and perhaps a little bit of good, old fashioned luck. This is Ketterdam as you’ve never seen before.
Welcome to the Hyacinth Heist.

Summary
Yet ironically, for the past ten years, he had been the blindest of all...
Officer Kieran White was blessed (or, as he’d argue, cursed) with the ability to detect lies. Living by the day and blaming only himself for the past, he grasps for the answers he so desires to put his past to rest. Not that he really deserves that solace.
Enter Lauren, better known as the Purple Hyacinth. An assassin bent on taking down all that she kills in the name of, but what for?
Expect some familiar events. Expect some new ones. (And maybe there will be a bit of cheesecake.)
Sometimes, two flowers will grow as one, will intertwine- no matter which the sun opts to fall upon.
Sometimes, there's an enticing cold to be found within the sunlight.
And, sometimes, there's a comfort that lies within the darkness, too.A Roleswap AU.

Summary
“Touya Todoroki,” he blurts. “What the actual fuck?”
“You.” Touya looks at Keigo, and the corner of his mouth curls up in the beginning of a smile or smirk. If memory serves, it’s likely going to be the latter. “Well.”
Shigaraki gapes at both of them. “You two know each other?”
Touya rolls his eyes and clicks his tongue, dropping the canvas bag on the table next to Shouto. “No, we clearly don’t. Couldn’t you have told me his name, oh, I don’t know, maybe yesterday?”
While visiting a childhood friend in Sydney and starting research for his next book, Keigo Takami is introduced to the famous glass artist Dabi—someone he knows better as Touya Todoroki, who he met in Kyoto seventeen years ago and hasn’t seen since.
But when Touya’s youngest brother, Shouto, reaches out to Keigo to help him better understand his secretive older brother (and main parental figure) on their research trip, Keigo soon realizes he might be biting off more than he can chew.

Summary
“You sound nervous, Viktor. Is something –” Then he caught sight of the small hand clutching the side of Viktor’s vest. Jayce’s words stuck in his throat as a face peeped out from behind the scientist, a young girl with startlingly blue hair looking up at him with fear. “Um – who’s this?”
. . . years later . . .
“Just this once,” Jinx whispered, “Can’t I prove that I can help my family instead of watching them die?"
On the night Jinx loses her family, Viktor finds her and takes her in as his apprentice on the Hextech team. But when he falls ill, the lengths she’ll go to save him might just drive her mad…

Summary
Viktor leans back in the chair, one mechanical arm behind his head. Even through the bars of his cell, he seems effortlessly powerful.
"You know that they're going to kill me if the tribunal convenes, Jayce. And you also know that it's going to be your fault."
