Summary
Jeannemary Chatur and Isaac Tettares have grown up together in the foster system. The latest and greatest in a long string of foster moms, Gideon Nav, shares a duplex with childhood friend-turned-frosty-acquaintance Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Can Jeannemary bring her new foster mom together with her old friend and maybe score a family of her own along the way?
This fic is rated T for mild descriptions of common foster care discomforts and references to past abuse/neglect within the foster system. If this is your squick, please avoid!
This fic is finished! I am publishing on a 3-day schedule, with the first chapter out 8/3/22.
Title and chapter titles from "San Cristóbal" by Mal Blum.

Summary
“I’ve seen the way you look at me,” Harrow said again. “Seen your leering looks. The way your eyes scan everything before your brain finally catches on. Well, it’s your lucky day, Nav. I’ve finally thought of the way to make you mind."
"Harrow,” Gideon said, one last tired time, “let me go. Just let me go.”
Title from The Cat In The Hat Has The Right To Sing The Blues. The problem with sainthood is that you have to be dead.

Summary
Once upon a time, there were two twin princesses, who were as close as can be. If you listened to courtly gossip—some would say too close.
The Griddlehark as Third House meets Game Of Thrones AU no one asked for.* Which is exactly what it fucking sounds like. Twincest. Be warned.
*Actually, someone did. Sorry…

Summary
Cozca is a Southlander—small for her kind, but a giant compared to most humans in the continent of Aska. She is brave, loyal, and kind. She knows little about the lands north of her. She knows little about anything, really. What she knows is how to hunt, fight, camp, heal, and work. She has traveled from her strange homeland in the south to the Midden: a boreal region inhabited by the free races after the Uprising; a war optimistically named The Last War by its victors. She's set out to return a gift, to claim her father's sword, and to rob her mother.
Edrelle is an Elf—tall for her kind, but a bit shorter than most humans. She is craven, duplicitous, and cruel. She knows everything about the Midden. She knows quite a bit about everything, really. She knows how to steal, torture, sneak, spy, and murder. She was created in an ancient alchemical vat to be an assassin for her family who live north of the Midden—the High Elves upon the frozen mountain of Elder's Peak, to fight in their wars and put down the allied races' Uprising. She's set out to rekindle an old flame, open a vault, and to rob Cozca's mother.
Book one in the 'No Place of Honor' series.

Summary
Two idiots and one mildly criminal New Year’s Eve operation.
(In which Harrow Nonagesimus has a score to settle, and Gideon comes along to make sure she doesn’t get her tiny ass stuck in an even tinier window. It’s definitely not because she likes her.)
(OR: the “who ya gonna call?” art school prequel, but just the part where they put a tilapia in John’s office.)
