Summary
Things just lined up. Tyler's guild was shut down for safety violations, and they were without work. Katie called one too many times with an offer: a job, monsters to slay, and a place to park their trailer. The only trouble was Tyler would have to move to that farm that housed nothing but sour memories. When Tyler makes an unlikely ally, they must learn that softness is not weakness, and that love is not earned, but made.

Summary
Abby didn't ask for any of this. She didn't ask to be some freak wizards daughter, to have magic powers and some massive responsibility to protect this town. She certainly didn't ask for immortality. Unfortunately, she didn't get a say in the matter. All she could do was learn how to live with it.
Highly recommended that you read Never Love An Anchor first. Takes place at the tail end of that fic into the epilogue, and it will definitely take some leaps to understand this without it. Fic Title and Chapter Titles from Circle With Me by Spiritbox.

I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared.
Takes place like... 2-3 years post NLA. Recommended to at least have read NLA before this, suggested that you read Safe Ship, Harbored as well. But you know what? I'm not a cop. Do whatever you want!

Summary
Tyler reflects on their relationship with their sister, Katie, as they grow closer to Krobus.
A non-canon to the main fic monologue from my OC Tyler. It has no real place in the timeline, but is vaguely their mindset around Ch. 11: Allies or Enemies.

Summary
Now he was here, sitting across the counter from Gil as he finished up his sweep paperwork, engaging in strangely comfortable smalltalk, and sipping whiskey, almost as if nothing about tonight was different than any other. Marlon had never been in a situation so simultaneously easy and nerve wracking.
Or NLA verse Gil/Marlon's first time. Would recommend having read the first chapter of Safe Ship, Harbored before this one, but I am not a cop! Takes place 4 days after the end of Safe Ship Ch. 1
