"He lived like a dead tree in a graveyard." "A Storm On The Mountain" is nominally about Aanav, a young boy who flees the portrait of a family and finds refuge on a hill where he befriends a shepherd who wears goat-skin-trousers. Still, his chaotic childhood becomes a haunting figure that reflects the silence of his present. Profoundly delicate with arresting imagery, the story narrates a broken heart, who brings these shattered pieces onto a hill and tries to make a very unperfect mended heart. WARNING: LGBTQ (Only in Part II)

Will Graham is convinced that he doesn't have a soulmate, so when Hannibal Lecter kisses him on New Year's and they develop matching soulmate marks, he is more than a little surprised. But that surprise turns into inner turmoil and suspicion when he realizes that Hannibal fits the profile of the Chesapeake Ripper almost perfectly. If his soulmate is truly the notorious serial killer...well, what does that say about him? Marked mature for graphic violence, swearing, and potentially other mature themes. Originally written for the Open Novella Contest 2020 using prompts #67 & #68. An open fanfiction, meaning it was written to be read without needing previous knowledge of the fandom. Season 1 AU, post-episode: s01e08 Fromage.

What would you give up to dive into your favourite story? Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all. For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device. By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet! As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions. The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur. ⚠️ Content and/or trigger warning ⚠️ This story contains one scene of (unsuccessful) sexual coercion, and mentions domestic violence and death by domestic violence, which may be triggering for some readers. 📖 Featured 19 times!
