Summary
"Do you trust me?"
His voice a haunting whisper that sends shivers down your spine. It's a simple question, yet the weight of it hangs heavily in the air.
Your gaze drifts over his form, taking in the sharp, gleaming fangs that punctuate his otherwise handsome visage. His eyes, though mesmerizing, hold the knowledge of countless secrets and the weight of countless sins. And his claws, hidden beneath the veneer of sophistication, are a reminder of the predatory nature that lurks beneath the surface.
In any other circumstance, your every instinct would scream at you to flee from this creature, to despise him for the torment he has wrought upon Barovia. You should hate him with every fiber of your being.
But as Strahd nestles his face into the crook of your neck, a rush of cold breath caressing your skin, something within you stirs. It's a sensation you can't deny, a strange and unsettling allure that defies reason. His proximity, his touch, seem to awaken an inexplicable trust within you, a trust that goes against every rational thought.
His question lingers in the air, and with a sense of resignation, you find yourself uttering the words:
"I do."

Summary
Strahd has won.
Sophia Ainsworth and her adventuring party had no choice but to kneel to the Dark Lord of Barovia to keep their lives intact. Their new fates are ones of subservience, ranging from becoming a wife to heirship- not a pleasant fate no matter who you ask. The ex-paladin must learn to navigate the halls of castle Ravenloft, pleasing the whims of those who live there while attempting to cling what fraction of humanity she still has left.
(This is a collection of one shots and drabbles I wrote about a "Bad End" AU to my group's Curse of Strahd playthrough. Stories are connected through a continuous timeline and themes. Enjoy!)

Summary
heartworm
"n. a relationship or friendship that you can’t get out of your head, which you thought had faded long ago but is still somehow alive and unfinished, like an abandoned campsite whose smoldering embers still have the power to start a forest fire."You can't remember much about the time Leshy was in control of Inscryption, and you remember even less about the world before. Despite this, as you are just inches away from completing your Challenge to replace a Scrybe, there's a nagging sensation that perhaps this isn't the path you are meant to follow, that there's something better for you. That there is a better answer to the endless infighting of the Scrybes.
You know you can find a way to stop it. You know there's an answer somewhere in the Old_Data. Perhaps someone who's come into contact with it can help, someone who knows what its like to be trapped in the body of a stoat, and the paper of a card. The difficult part comes when the aforementioned stoat remembers you sacrificed him.
