    Summary

    Supernatural no quirks AU.

    We’re all familiar with that same old legend of the cupid: a cute little angel that makes couples fall in love upon shooting enchanted arrows on their hearts, but the truth is that the story could be a little bit different…

    The cupid? An explosive sex demon who hates his duty, has long stopped believing in love and has also lost hope in humans; the problem? He holds a curse that can only be retained by his soulmate: a kind and caring human, prototype of angel on Earth who can change the pessimistic vision of this cunning Incubus.

    What does the future hold for this semi-immortal entity and the human soul which he’s chained to by the irony of fate?

    Summary

    “I wish you would trust me” Psyche spoke softly into the dark. Her voice barely above a whisper
    “I do trust you” Eros replied turning to face her on the bed
    “No, you don't” she mumbled. There was silence. The howling of the wind seemed so loud in her ears at that moment. Tears streamed down her face onto the pillow that rested beneath her head. Eros eyebrows furrowed
    “It's for your safety”
    “Yeah, you keep saying that” She laughed dryly shaking her head. Eros wrapped his arm around her, pulling her body closer to his
    “I love you” He whispered, nose in her hair. She turned her head towards him trying to find his face amongst the dark room. She couldn't make out his features, any of the features she had been told were so ugly and scary
    “Do you?” she spoke finally. His arm tensed around her. He didn't know what to say, what could he say at that moment.
    “Of course I do Psyche” he was getting frustrated, he knew this was taking a toll on her, he knew that this couldn't last much longer. But much like how we try to cling onto childhood growing up, feeling time slip through our fingers, Eros felt Psyche slowly slip through his.

    Summary

    Forced into a loveless marriage, Princess Charlotte “Charlie” Magne cannot help but desperately wish for a way to escape her impending marriage with the arrogant and pigheaded Germania Prince, Siegfried von Elfenbrehm.

    It doesn't matter that the young princess still holds out hope for the one who has her heart to come for her before this marriage; as on the night of this impending marriage, Charlotte’s seer and maternal aunt Aisling states an ominous prophecy.  

    That the Dullahan is not pleased with King Lucien and that the fearsome Fae wishes for the hand of Princess Charlotte in marriage or else misfortune shall befall upon the kingdom.

    A foolish king ignores such omens but soon... a series of misfortune befalls upon the kingdom as both Charlotte’s maternal uncle and aunt decide that it is time to appease the fearsome Dullahan as Lucien falls into a depression of heartbreak. 

    Being a sacrifice to the fearsome Dullahan of a Fae is never, especially when Charlotte is beginning to realize that there is more to her new husband than meets the eye. For nothing can stop the Dullahan from getting his well-deserved revenge.

    Summary

    "Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”

    “Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”

    “Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”

     

    Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

    Summary

    Yuuta sighs, though it’s unlike before. He sighs like he’s being tested, like it was taking everything to be at peace with himself.

    “A God I may be, but I’m a weak man, Toge. Once I have you, I will never let you go. Not even if you beg and scream and cry.” Yuuta’s thumb brushes the apples of Toge’s cheek, and a shiver runs down the length of Toge’s spine at the gravitas of his words. “I’m giving you an opportunity that, on the off-chance, should you decide to return to your kingdom, you can.”

    He drags a finger down the side of Toge’s face, and the shiver becomes almost electrifying as heat begins pooling in Toge’s gut. It’s hot. Something twitches. “I don’t want you to hate me,” Yuuta whispers into the space between them, sounding so small, so broken. “You’re everything to me.”

    Or, an Eros and Psyche retelling with a few twists.

    Summary

    “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune is dangerous only once he learns how to weaponize it.”

    When the naive, awkward daughter of a barber-surgeon strikes an unlikely friendship with the notoriously disagreeable Lord Beckett during her time aboard the HMS Endeavour, her tale darkens as she’s suddenly drawn deeper into his world of ambition and betrayal.

    **

    Starts off pre TCBP, and ends AWE.
    Follows the events from The Price of Freedom with an eventual, adult-oriented twist.
    Partial Cutler Beckett backstory, partial coming-of-age trope for an 18th century woman.
    A healthy dose of Pride & Prejudice references.

    Summary

    Alastor, a naiad rather fond of venturing into the woods, is caught slaying a deer favoured by Artemis. His father is sent to consult an oracle, to determine appropriate punishment. On his return, he exiles Alastor to the mountains – where his real punishment, his monstrous, fated spouse-to-be, will come find him at nightfall.

    Alastor goes as bidden, and rapidly discovers that whatever monstrous traits his promised one may have, he may not lay his eyes upon. His fiance treats him well, all things considered, appearing in the evening to keep Alastor company at night, and vanishing at dawn. He only asks for one thing in return: that Alastor never seek to see him.

    An Eros (Greek: Love) and Psyche (Ancient Greek: Soul) retelling.
