Summary
Werner Goldrucken, a Silvani elf from the worlds of Inglenook and Edelmund in the Other Realms, leaves his increasingly-industrialized multiverse of fantasy and imagination and magic behind for the much larger — and more complex — one just outside, known as the Chasm of Stars, which happens to be full of aliens, starships, and a backwater planet where community is the focus called Prolune.

Summary
One year after the purple-suited scientist known as Dr Connector finally defeated his arch-nemesis, the tesseract-wielding supervillain Krusible, he still struggles with the grief and torment the battle — and the lives lost in the process — put him through.
As the early 1980s wear on, and tensions rise in the face of kobold invasions, demon uprisings, valleywide national pandemics, and political conspiracies, Kent Rundle looks inward and turns to his friends amongst other Royal Protectorates such as his fellow Builders, the Legendeers, and the Veil for support and looks toward the future to keep things stable.

Captain Mytho Vs The Moons Of Dorriya by Pick-n-Mix Comix (PicknMixComix), TheAestheticMerchant (Teacat)

Summary
It's 1974 in the Kingdom of Inglenook. In the aftermath of the 'Lonum Wars from 1968 to 1972, the Royal Protector known as Captain Mytho has successfully built a super-team called the Legendeers, operating out of an observatory in the city of Freeport — watching over the Bay Area, and the cosmos above, from their hilltop headquarters overlooking it all.
One year after their battle with Dr Synergy, which resulted in the power-bestowing Synergy Wave that tore across the city, the Legendeers have found peace and togetherness once again. However, during a picnic, a starship from the alien planet Dorriya in the Chasm of Stars crash-lands near their city — its pilot, a grey-skinned scientist resembling a living gargoyle from his homeworld, warning of the collision course his world of Dorriya's moons have suddenly been set on — a collision course heading straight for the realm of Inglenook!
Captain Mytho and the Legendeers spring into action, and are forced to choose between Dorriya's moons — and the safety of their own home and center of operations — in this story of cosmic trouble that only the Legendeers can stop.

Summary
Grace Morgan has been living at her new house on Mooney Crescent for some time now, but her neighbors don't seem to like her very much...and, despite her best attempts, she doesn't seem to like them much either. It's summer of the year 1980, in the shadow-city of Grimshaw, and Grace has just encountered the Circle of Six — a coven of six witches who live on Grace's new home-street, in the cul-de-sac that ends with her house — and discovered their plans for the future are much darker than inviting her to their next dinner party.

Fandoms: Pick-n-Mix Comix, Original Work, Sorrows Of Blackwood, Solemn Graces
26 Aug 2025

Summary
In 1984, there is no Gallo Belgrave. There is no Common Grounds. There barely remains a Grimshaw after the multiple crises of the early 80s saw the town bereft by vampires, revenants, demonic cultists, and the mutant origins of the Miasment Crisis that ravages Inglenook all the while.
There is barely an Alderghast. There might no longer be a Kingdom of Inglenook, if the creatures born from the Miasment pandemic have their way with things. In the midst of it all, the vampire former-queen Sable Belgrave has amassed a group of psycho-killer cohorts from Grimshaw called the Slashers, at first for war, and now for a much more valuable goal: Gallo Belgrave has disappeared, and only his twin sister Sable seems interested enough to find him.
Leaving Grimshaw behind, Sable and her Slasher friends find ways to adjust to the world of Inglenook and its warm, industrial, hospitable-for-no-reason, capitalist affairs where everyone wants friendship and no one wants to commit horrible crimes in the dark of night — while journeying their way through the cities of Blackwood Forest to Alderville, gateway to the realm of Elder Hollow — in the hopes that brother Gallo would be waiting there for Sable's bite.

Summary
The Sorrow Hunter Database is an in-universe collection of documents relating to the cataloguing and study of entities and events known as Sorrows, which appear increasingly often throughout the Other Realms once a creature known as the Sorrowfather is created, carrying with him various entities and cruel fates from one world to the next. In this storyline, it's up to the Sorrow Hunters — those entrusted with their research from the shadows and hidden corners between realities where time has been forgotten — to research, pen down, and document evidence of each Sorrow's existence so that future generations can always keep a watch out for them going forward.
This collection is Documented Sorrows No. 001 to 099, listing the first 99 Sorrows known to have been researched by the Sorrow Hunters on duty.

Summary
The Eighth Wonders start here! In the days and months leading up to Grace Morgan's arrival in Grimshaw in 1980, life in Grimshaw wasn't nonexistent: the Peerless Playhouse kept rehearsing, the Town Watch kept preying, the doctors of St Crucian's kept healing...and Victoria Craven worked countless hours to perfect her various potions.
Whether they were snake oil at first or not, her consecutive failed auditions at the Peerless Playhouse led her to one goal: the perfect potion, the perfection of her flesh with artificial youth and idealized physical beauty.
Alongside her assistant, Ingmar the Demigoblin, this is her story; of how she made the potion that transformed her life, and how her actions transformed Grimshaw, and affected seven other individuals there for the rest of the decade, and beyond.

Couriers Of The Cove: More Crystal Than Man by Pick-n-Mix Comix (PicknMixComix), TheAestheticMerchant (Teacat)
Fandoms: Pick-n-Mix Comix, Original Work
10 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
A tale spinning off from the moon catastrophe told in Captain Mytho Vs The Moons Of Dorriya, and inspired by the original goals for the Couriers Of The Cove storyline, Couriers Of The Cove: More Crystal Than Man is set in the 2380s on the planet Dorriya, during the height of Eskyra Lobuck's reign over the island citystate of Elzan-Covarin.
In this dystopia, reproduction is banned, all citizens are required to extend their life with gene therapies and lucidite implants, and medicine as well as other goods are delivered door-to-door to the increasingly complacent and sluggish populace by the youth-staffed members of the Courier Service, who were the last generation born before Eskyra's antinatalism took hold over her domain.
While Andrina Cardanza, Yubari Dellanova, and Lianova Sargane struggle to make it in the increasingly understaffed Service, other citizens have secret children and find ways to escape the walled island, while more plot to overthrow Eskyra and restore sense and sensibility to a once-prosperous island.

A Story I Would Tell by A Story I Would Tell (Teacat), Pick-n-Mix Comix (PicknMixComix), TheAestheticMerchant (Teacat)
Fandoms: Pick-n-Mix Comix
19 Mar 2026

Summary
This is a collection of stories I originally posted between 2012 and 2013 on Tumblr, under a blog called A Story I Would Tell, which is where (after transferring over from DeviantArt) I started getting into the habit of writing these little dark folktales every so often, at least for that year or so.
The first Solemn Graces short story with Grace Morgan and Gallo Belgrave, "Solemn Graces; or, The Death Of Beauty", was posted there, as well as the first two stories featuring the unrelated characters of Zero and the Red Door, and a bunch of other tales. They'll all be reposted here in this one single place, since I keep trying to bring myself to make individual uploads and I can't quite fathom it since there's so many different ones.
This collection won't include stories not posted on A Story I Would Tell, such as "Mourning Routine" (with Gallo Belgrave) or any of the subsequent "Solemn Graces" short rewrites, which were posted elsewhere and irrelevant to the vibe I was building with the fairy-tale fabulism themes of the A Story I Would Tell blog itself.
