    Summary

    “This is education. You need to understand the procedure. The sensations. The healing. The way the body can respond to a foreign object.”

    Cazador Szarr runs Sanguis INK. He didn't want an apprentice, and he especially didn't want a silver-blonde whelp in Birkenstocks who pierced his own septum with a safety pin.

    But Vellioth tells him to take the kid, and so the hazing begins. Over three months of grueling shop work, brutal body modifications, and shifting boundaries, Cazador's annoyance curdles into something else. He's going to take his new apprentice apart piece by piece, just so he can be the one to put him back together.

    Summary

    Tav arrives at St Balthazar's University Hospital with a broken heart, a new job, and a determination to prove herself as a doctor, she belongs in one of the busiest emergency departments in the country.
    Instead she gets Mr Astarion Ancunin as her new consultant.
    Brilliant. Terrifying. Beautiful in the most unfair way imaginable.
    Tav hates him immediately. Hates his arrogance. How easily he dismantles her, how he humiliates her. Hates how cold he is. How fucking perfect he is.
    But somewhere between the night shifts, the adrenaline of resus, and the way he looks at her when no one else is watching, hate turns into something far more dangerous.
    And getting involved with your consultant is the fastest way to destroy your career.

     

    An all-human AU medical drama set in a London major trauma centre, where the patients are sick, the shifts are long, and falling for your consultant is a terrible idea.

    Summary

    "I kissed you, and even the dark turned gentle for a while."

    Bernadette is a 34-year-old Midwestern retail manager who just wanted a quiet Friday night with her Bath & Body Works candle, her current BG3 playthrough, and her vampire smut.

    Instead, a cursed journal yanks her into Baldur’s Gate. She expects to be dead in an hour.

    What she doesn’t expect is that the game lied.

    Cazador Szarr isn’t the cartoon villain she spent hundreds of hours hating. He’s a traumatized Kozakuran warlock bound by a devil’s pact, quietly culling the worst of the city to buy back his soul. And Astarion? The tragic elf she romanced on every playthrough? He’s a corrupt, narcissistic libertine who built his own cage.

    Now at the epicenter of Cazador’s centuries-old Faustian endgame, Bernadette has to survive a palace full of feral vampire spawn, navigate the cutthroat politics of the Upper City, and most dangerously, stop herself from falling for the very monster the game told her to destroy.

    Summary

    Stripped of all control, Astarion feels like the gods have forsaken him. Still, fate is stitching - puncturing the fabric of reality, where dark and radiant powers alike compete for the final say in his life... and the lives of countless others. Somewhere in the vast multiverse, another story takes shape—one that bears witness to Astarion Ancunín’s pain and redemption, from his centuries as Cazador Szarr’s vampire spawn to the moments leading up to the Nautiloid. Two hundred years of Forgotten Realms lore intertwine with Astarion’s lived experience, revealing the echoes of who he was, what he survived, and who he may have yet become.
