It looks like Jesper's luck has finally run out. He seems to be owing a lot of people a lot of money, and unfortunately for him, the Dregs don't seem to be paying enough to fuel his addiction. There's only one person in Ketterdam more desperate than him: Jan Van Eck. Apparently he's been looking for a new music teacher for his precious son. It's an easy second job that Jesper manages to con himself into. The only problem: Jesper can't play shit. And his new student, Wylan Van Eck, catches on. But Wylan promises to keep his secret for something in return. Will this new double life Jesper's now leading get him out of the frying pan or just toss him into the fire?

Nina and Matthias's story is one for the ages: a classic epic about two rivals who learn to coexist and learn to love one another. It's a story we've seen hundreds of times before, but what if they never made it out of Fjerda? What if fate had other plans for our doomed couple? After hiding out in a secluded cabin nearing the Fjerda-Ravka border, Nina is captured by a team of Drüskelle. It's up to Matthias to save the enemy from the Ice Court without backup or allies before she can be tried for her supposed "crimes" - a task no one has attempted before. It's a story told again and again, but Matthias can only hope it ends for the better this time. In other words, it's a four-part Greek mythology Helnik AU (Slightest of spoilers for King of Scars) FINAL WORD COUNT: 32,101

What if Bo Yul-Bayur was never captured by the Fjerdans? What if Jan Van Eck never had to hire Kaz and his ragtag team? What if Matthias never got to leave Hellgate? Well, it means a full-ride scholarship to the University of Ketterdam for Wylan, apparently. This is a SoC AU loosely based off of The Secret History and The Ninth House as Wylan tries to figure out if something sinister really is afoot at the University of Ketterdam, or if his mother's genetic paranoia has finally set in...
