    Summary

    Tess is a powerful underworld figure, brokering information. When an internal threat has her questioning the loyalties of those closest, she must enlist the help of someone who has just as much to lose as she does. A bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s.

    His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.

    Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.

    Tess whispered again in his ear: “You answer to me, now.”

    Summary

    Hermit’s Hollow was a quiet town where you learned to ignore whisperings of nonsense and the dull, persistent feeling of being watched before you learned to ride a bike. To call it pedestrian would be a great disservice to all the terrible oddities occupying it— folks and legends alike.

    Not that Grian believed any of them, of course.

    Or; There's something wrong in Hermit's Hollow. There's something wrong with Grian. Neither of these are a surprise to him.

    Summary

    Placed in the 1970's, Levi Ackerman is an FBI agent who was sent to a strip club to meet up with a DJ, supposedly named as, 'DJ Crippler.' He was sent for his 'attractive looks' and to seek out the head of a renowned drug dispatch in the south side of their state.

    The DJ leans onto his disc table to come close to Levi's ear, breath tickling his flesh. "You're looking pretty fine there, shorty." The DJ says to the raven. With Levi being in his white dress shirt and black pants, he couldn't bring his Glock 23 out of his holster and aim at the little shit.

    Was this DJ really not part of all this gang madness? The mafia taking over all the south of this state? "I want to achieve my dream of showing everyone my music. I've been doing it since I was a kid..." His emerald eyes peered into Levi's cold ones, they were full of determination and no fear. Levi could respect his ambitions. However, 'DJ Crippler' was a suspect. Under high alert with the FBI, a danger to outsiders and even to the people of Levi's own squad. He could have millions of dollars with large amounts of cocaine and be a vile man, anyone could, but none would be the wiser.

    Summary

    Mark Lee was stuck at the music festival, Summer 127. Stuck, in the sense that he didn't fully want to be there, but also in the sense that the friends he had planned on going there with were nowhere to be seen, leaving him all alone with no tent to sleep in. That was until a kind, beautiful punk offered to let Mark stay in his tent with him for the night, and all of a sudden, he didn't feel quite as stuck anymore.

    Enter: five days of music, partying, and Mark being taken aback by just how quickly it was possible for him to fall in love.

    Summary

    The first time Ed laid eyes on Stede Bonnet, he was a shock of obnoxious blue satin sitting out the back of some smoky tent, head resting on his pulled-up knees, and he looked maybe three minutes away from puking up a storm.

    It's June of 1978, and Fleetwood Mac are about to headline the world-famous Stinson Festival. Stede's unfortunate consumption of multiple dosed-up brownies is not as funny to him as it is to the Badminton twins. At least there's a kind stranger there to help. Before long, it's clear there's more between them than a bottle of water and some kind words - but of course, it's never as easy as that, and Ed doesn't know how to tell the sweetest, strangest man in San Francisco who and what he really is.

    A long, mostly light-hearted slow-burn romance with a dose of angst, a hefty dollop of heat (once we get there) and a HEA. Fully plotted & updating at least once a week!
