Converging Destinies: Part 1 by AbyssalDonut

Ella has been a mercenary her whole life. All she's ever wanted is a little bit of fun and a lot of money. She's just looking for a job that'll land her some cash. Cedric has just recently begun to learn the magic of the wild, just as the other members of his druidic circle begin to mysteriously disappear. Ara'Sei has just begun to scratch the surface of the divine power within her. However, as her power grows, she finds her life becoming progressively more perilous. Eris has run from their problems their whole life. But no matter how agile or fast or cunning you are, you can't outrun your past. This story is inspired by dnd, and is told through the eyes of a party that consists of... . A human champion fighter (she/her) . A circle of the forest wood elf druid (he/him) . An aasimar divine soul sorcerer (she/her) . A half-orc arcane trickster rogue (they/them) They all start the story as level 3 characters. Here are the first 200 Chapters of the story. The chapters are around 500-800 words (usually) because it's easier for me to write that way. This story continues in Converging Destinies Part 2, but this part of the story is complete. I will be posting this as well as part 2 over to AO3.

But never once has she seen one of its people-until the day a Colorless boy turns up in her village, carrying one of his people's most prized possessions: the pendant of Free Will.

And what about the two married women who were captured without their daughter? But sometimes the smallest individuals can change the course of history... COMPLETED 9-8-2019

Lucid Dreams (m×m)✔ by sweetcaressesofmay

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 When saving the world turns out to be an even harder task than Phoenix and his friends anticipated, they pin their last hopes on their enemy. Not just any enemy, either, but the real culprit behind Gold fever and the one who just weeks ago wanted Phoenix dead and cold. Aspen is facing the consequences of his actions and trying to cope with the weight of them. Which, just like saving the world, is easier said than done. Especially as in the midst of it all, at the worst possible moment, he starts to catch feelings for the guy he was meant to want dead and cold. Oh, and there is a slight chance he isn't alone with his feelings. Aspen is, as the word goes, gorgeous after all, and it isn't like there are many options around to choose from when the world still thinks you're its enemy number one. But. (And there's always a but.) Their time is running out. Will Aspen be able to cure Phoenix, who still remains part of the key to saving the world, before Gold fever steals him away? Before lucid dreams become their only way to be together?"

Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she's tasked into helping steal a rare artifact. Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets. Unfortunately, the Fae aren't the only ones hunting her. And the most dangerous monsters aren't always confined to the dark.
