    Summary

    You tremble as you reach her feet, falling to your knees. The towering Princess lifts your chin with your finger, and watching her face you realize you won't be able to kill her. The puddles below you, the tremble in your hand, the voices in your head, they all tell you you don't deserve the title of slayer.
    But that doesn't mean you've ran out of options.

    Summary

    THE NARRATOR – You're on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't... wait, this isn't the woods, is this already the basement?

    A role reversal AU where you follow the Princess trapped in the basement, with a certain narrator stuck in her mind. Someone is in the woods walking right now to this very cabin.

    Summary

    Life has never been safe for a Borrower in a world governed by humans. Viewed as evil omens, any power-bearing “Fae” find themselves prey to black market circles where their fates are drawn to the highest bidder. And sometimes, the winners prefer to place them into the ring and hedge their bets even higher on a gladiatorial fight against something much, much worse.

    As is the fate of a pair of escaped siblings, surviving in the woods by the skin of their teeth. But when evading their opponent proves too challenging, it may take deciding between trusting the owner of a nearby cabin or trying to outrun an enemy that can’t be killed.

    But the tenants of that safe haven have one damning condition: they must reveal themselves to him first to be granted shelter. In order to make peace with the present, it may take unraveling the horrors of the past and the entwined destines between them all to save who still remains of all Borrowers, Cryptids, and Fae - and perhaps even the very forest itself.

    When on Borrowed paths, some things cannot be returned.

     

    [Non-Borrower folks: Think of it as “Inverse Tower.” No prior knowledge needed!]

    Summary

    Priscilla Corbeau didn't love her husband, but she certainly didn't want him dead. And yet, when she returns from vacation, that's what she gets---along with the information that everything she knew about him was a lie.

    Years ago, he stole a fortune from the British government, and in doing so, made a number of enemies---all of whom are now after Priscilla. With the help of a charming stranger named Skips, she's got to track down that fortune before she winds up dead... except, it's not too clear whether or not Skips is all that trustworthy.

    And considering she's getting dangerously close to falling for him, that's a problem.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu and Tomioka Giyuu have been dropped into the Slay the Princess universe. At first, they're confused and target the protagonist of the universe, assuming that he was attacking a woman already locked away in the basement, but as time goes on and loops repeat, they realize that the princess is not what she seems

    The Long Quiet and the voices in his head are confused on why slaying the princess is more complicated than the narrator lets on.

    Summary

    The Wild and the Apotheosis are two of the strongest vessels, they can break the construct. When the Shifting Mound is a bit late on retrieving her gift of a Tender Heart, the Nightmare grows to receive this strength, too.

    But all she knows is how to hurt…

    And so she does. She breaks the Long Quiet. Not mentally, or spiritually, or even just his will. She breaks him in a terrible, pragmatic way.

    Like the Sleeping Mound, they can hope to rebuild him from the Paranoid voice that survives. Together, the Paranoid and the Nightmare must bring Voices to the Long Quiet, and Vessels to the Shifting Mound.

    Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    You question your divinity in front of him. You know your purpose, you know what you must do, what you want to make him do. And yet blood, something so human sheds from you and you have to will yourself not to scream in anguish as you attempt to raise your fists and fight, forced to watch yourself morph into something new--

    And yet, when you stare into his determined, beady eyes, he says something so audacious to you.

    "Stand up and fight." As if some sort of miracle, another blade seems to have manifested in his hand, and his tone is filled with determination. "I know that's not all you can do!"

    And for a brief moment, you stare at this little bird like he's grown a second head. For a brief moment your hands (such wretched things, you think, your voice was the only proper way, to fight like this is unsuitable for someone like you) reach out toward the bladed invitation he's offered you, still in wretched pain--

    And then your hand takes the hilt, gripping it tightly in those wretched implements you never thought you'd want to use.

    No. This isn't all you can do.

    The Narrator: You are on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

    Happily Ever After: “Where am I?”

    The Narrator: Your fashionable companion stumbles a few steps forward, her heels wobbling on the uneven dirt of the path. She whirls her head around, as if searching for something that can’t be seen, and eventually her eyes settle on yours.

    Happily Ever After: “…Who are you?”

    * “Who are you?”

    Happily Ever After: “I’m … I’m a Princess. A-And I asked first!”

    Summary

    The world around seemed to fall apart completely. Breaking every atom down to the smallest atom. It felt like it would go on forever until it seemed to reverse.

    Rough sketches began to be cleaned up, and the space felt lived-in instead of empty; it felt like the air was breathable and familiar.

    Until it all came crashing back to the way it was before.

    Well, not entirely.

    I always thought about what if the together ending to was given to all of the voices and princesses and so here's exactly that.

    Summary

    The Princess knows her hero with a terrible intimacy. She knows the cracks running through his being, knows his broken pieces that have been left behind. She knows the shape of them, the sound of them, the bitterness and hurt and longing of them. She can feel them, aching like a phantom limb, tucked away in the folds of the crumbling Construct.

    Her many hearts twist with agonizing empathy as she reaches out, fingers brushing lightly over the jagged edges of her hero’s fragments. It stings, but she doesn’t recoil. They’ve done much worse to her, and she to them.

    Let me guide you home. An offering. One of peace, of reconciliation and healing. You are missed, you are wanted. The world is waiting for us, and we will not leave without you.
