    Summary

    In a world of supernatural creatures, humans are a little scared of them. That’s where the Cryptic-Human Alliance Guild comes in, to facilitate better relations between humans and the supernatural, and for safety for the squishier humans.

    Tango Tek, a recently turned vampire (in the last month) is volunteered to give presentations on ‘sleep safety’ to different communities to slow the increase of vampirism and reduce casualties. It’s at one of these presentations he meets Jimmy Solidarity; a man incapable of turning, no matter how many times he’s been drained, who asks for his help in stopping whoever keeps taking all his blood every month.

    As Tango searches for answers, he learns a lot more about the supernatural community, and where his current stance lands him among his new peers. What’s more, why is Jimmy specifically unable to turn? And when the other humans find out, what lengths will they go to gain the same immunity?

    A platonic ranchers fic in which Tango helps Jimmy deal with life-threatening encounters with familiar faces, some human, some supernatural.

    Summary

    Jimmy doesn’t know how many years it’s been since the Mines have been abandoned. By any means, Jimmy should be long dead. But he just won't die. It's part of the Curse. He resigns himself to his existence as a canary in a cage.

    One day, he hears giggles in the walls. Maybe there's hope after all.

    Summary

    Zombies. We’ve always had them. They’re life’s last-ditch attempt at thwarting death; reanimated corpses acting out an echo of their lives. Dangerous, sure, but mainly an inconvenience. Burn your dead, build walls, keep an eye out at night—you’ll be fine. But this… sculk. It makes zombies look like kittens.

    And it’s spreading.

    --

    It's been two years since the sculkers appeared and society collapsed. A mistake forces Grian and Mumbo to leave the safety of their city walls and face the terrors of this new world. In their search for answers, they find familiar faces and befriend new ones, discovering joy blossoming in the ruins of the apocalypse. However, time is running out as Grian and Mumbo fight to survive, dealing with love, loss and an enigmatic robot. But not every monster comes from the shadows. Some come from within.

    ~A novel~

    Summary

    A collection of all the stories in Traveling Thieves, which is my Dark Fantasy, Hybrid Slavery, super angsty AU that spawned from my Whumptober 2023 prompt fills! Currently in semi-chronological order except for the first fic in the series, which will always be “I see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes” which if anyone does want to read the series in chronological order, I’d like them to start there! ^-^ I also occasionally place some stories in specific locations that I think work best for the reading order that aren't exactly where they'd be timeline-wise!

    WARNING: THIS IS A WHUMP-CENTRIC, ANGST-CENTRIC, HURT/COMFORT (SOMETIMES NO COMFORT) DARK FANTASY AU.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the tags before you dive into any stories of this one, this series is intended to be a place for me to try my hand at writing and exploring some darker themes.

    There will be plenty of happy times in this, too, though! It's not all doom and gloom, I promise! I hope you'll enjoy!

    Ask me about the series, world building, future planning, or just come say hi! @amethystfairy1
