❝Lysidamus? That fictious civilisation?❞

                                  •••

Call it foul play, but Criminal investigator Cien Morris loved the smell of freshly withdrawn notes, fair or not. 
The case on his table this time? A missing bounty of Thullium. An odd task for an investigator, unless the Thullium had been discovered on an obscure island nestled in the zone of Eblis- those who dared to journey into the Eblis never returned.

                                  •••

When the ship laden with metal mysteriously vanished into the depths of the sea, desperate geologist Philip Paniz singled out his apprentice, Aaeila King.

In a pinch with Cien, Aaeila had to convince Cien that no cloak and dagger were involved- only the malevolent seductions of the mythical zone. And to clear her name, Aaeila presented a chilling proposition: to journey into the obscure heart of Eblis itself.

Conventional wisdom demanded they reject the idea, but Cien was not one to back down if the case called for it. After all, the tantalising taste of love was worth the gamble.

                                  •••

Tamed by love and lured by pain, the jump to Eblis was beyond understanding. 
What if Cien never returned?

And If I Fall, Let Me Part I: At Your Service - A. Hotchner x OC & Jemily by morgandufaigh

"Look who the cat dragged in," she directed at Hotch, smirking. To her surprise, Emily watched as her boss' lip twitched in what was suspiciously close to a smile. Now that was unusual. She had never seen that woman before. "Surprised they let you work somewhere you can't shoot your way out or blow something up," Hotch gave back dryly. Emily's eyebrows disappeared further under her bangs, and she exchanged a surprised look with Morgan. It was rare to see Hotch smirk, was he actually bordering on flirting? What happens when an old friend of Hotch turns out to be the new head of a Secret Service Unit in need of help with an investigation? Sparks fly, whiskey gets opened, and killers (hopefully) get caught. (Originally posted on AO3 under my username "sometimesiscribble!)

Robe by Tetsuo

When Dresden encounters a strangely-attired boy lying unconscious in the forested hills of Hep Duatab, he is perplexed: the boy is clearly an 'outsider', as those who are from beyond the Hepstraad are known. But what was he doing here, and how did he suddenly appear in the forest like this? Little does Dresden know, the boy is from much, much farther away, from a world that is well beyond Dresden's comprehension. Worse still, the boy is the first harbinger of an impending upheaval, a catastrophe that will engulf the Hepstraad and all those who call it their home. The outsider boy is soon followed by a powerful young girl, a girl who wields an unusual sword and a mighty stave, who regards magic as a mere triviality... and yet is obliviously unaware of Dresden's land and all that lies within. As a confluence of events takes place - the invasion of an army of half-giants; a betrayal and the theft of Hep Duatab's greatest treasure; and a friendship forged in the collision of worlds - Dresden and his new companions find themselves drawn into conflict with a dark power, an evil that spans two Universes and threatens all existence with annihilation. An evil that the Robe might save them from. If only they could get it back... --- Shoutout to Rose @MysteryPersonified for the awesome cover!

Shattered Destinies by Sour-acid

It started as a routine case - a few people disappearing without a trace in a bustling metropolis. But as Detective William Norman and his team delved deeper, the mystery grew more sinister. The missing weren't just ordinary citizens; they were pillars of society, their lives seemingly erased from existence. As the investigation broadened, the scope of the disappearances widened. It wasn't just a local phenomenon; people were vanishing across the globe, leaving behind no clue, no trace. The once-vibrant cities were now hollow shells, their streets echoing with the absence of loved ones. The world was gripped by panic and fear. Governments crumbled, and chaos descended upon the streets. Liam and his team, now the last line of defense against the encroaching darkness, were faced with an impossible task. Could they unravel the mystery behind the mass disappearances? Or was this the end of humanity, a divine judgment that left no survivors?
