Moira was ready for something new.
Scratch that; anything new at all.

After not having left the comfort of her chosen canal for centuries, she wanted to see the new world, and all that it had to offer.

The only problem is, she seems to have picked the least human area around and keeps getting mixed up in the problems of werewolves and vampires. She feels wrapped in their wars and unable to maintain the semi-quiet life she desired.


Warnings: This story had lesbian themes, I don't think I made that obvious but it does. Also, kelpies are supposed to be human-eating monsters, thus, Moira eats people. I've not written anything graphic (I could not stomach that) but it is made abundantly clear. And for any nitpickers, I've interpreted the myths how I wanted and felt appropriate, there are no guidelines for kelpies, or any other Scottish myth, so just go with it.

Nightwalker by Social_Introvert
67 parts Complete Mature
Time didn't matter to her. She got up when the sun did and tried to sleep when the sun went down. because of this seemingly endlessness, she's forgotten her name, she's forgotten her family and she's forgotten everything she use to be. Now she was nothing. Living on the streets of a town begging for money and food from travellers that didn't know who she was, unlike the rest of the town that thought of her as something unnatural even though she doesn't know why. Constantly abused by the townspeople who don't understand her, she is left to die in an alleyway after a horrible run in with three drunk men. She was expecting to die and have her corpse eaten by rats and other vermin. What she didn't expect was to be saved by a woman that was everything but human. "Do you want to live?" This woman asked and when she looked into herself she knew the answer, it came easy through her busted lips. "Yes." From that day on she became something else, something not human, something extraordinary and from that day forth she will serve this woman who saved her life and maybe one day remember her name or be given one by her new Mistress. Maybe one day she'll remember who she was and maybe she'll even find the one person that completes her soul. From that day forth she became a Nightwalker. Completed. This is a lesbian story and contains mature actions between females. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapter if you do not wish to read such content.

Crown Princess Leonore, heir to the queendom of Dranath, likes women, obviously. The Queen Mother Carmilla marries her off to Sir Gabriel, obviously. So when she finds out Sir Gabriel is a woman... Dranath; queendom of mystique, bordered by jealous allies. To the southwest, the states of Aurune. East is the coast and the maritime poleis of Raham. To the north, the Hierstag clans. Rich in land and crop and poor in everything else, the queendom is closed in from all fronts. And when the sword of years-long grudges is brought to bear, who will play it to the hilt? ------------------------------ i wanted to say that this book is my love letter to imperialism, but it's actually lovingly crafted hatemail non-anonymously submitted to imperialism's tumblr asks. the narrative does get darker as it goes on. this is an exploration of how much suffering one can propagate in order to achieve one's goal, and the degree in which your decisions can be justified (even only to yourself!) before you become, essentially, irredeemable; an exercise in Is It Worth It Though yeah there's magic(k) in this one. and a lot of geopolitics! might have gotten carried away with the geopolitics. come for the gay, stay for the political machinations. or come for the political machinations and stay for the gay, i dont mind. 3rd person pov, leonore-centric, no homophobia (at least, not the kind we usually see), i want to say butch/femme but honestly it's butch gabriel/whatever the hell leonore is. folk anti-hero narrative or villain origin story, you decide

Life could not have gotten more complicated for Willow and Moira. Willow was a university going student with her eyes set on the future. In her final year she found herself living with a group of students just off of the campus. They welcome her into their small, friendly family, but despite how much they care for her they can't let her know about their true natures. Soon Hunters arrive in the city, threatening Willow's friends and causing one of the Magical Courts to send their most dangerous asset to deal with them. Moira's arrival in the city is all but good news for anyone, Magical or mundane. While Willow is concerned about protecting her new family, Moira finds herself dealing with protecting the Magicals of Ottawa and deciding the fate of a Human who has been dragged into something far bigger than they ever could have expected. And who said fairy tales were all about whimsical fun?
