Summary
Running with Maine's crew was a pain sometimes, but at least it was stable. As stable as life got while living on the edge, anyways.
Just when her new normal started to become routine... a chance encounter changed her life, for better and for worse.
The ratty street kid with the cold sad eyes, a natural gift for hacking, and not much street smarts to speak of. It would be a shame to leave potential like that rotting on the vine, and Kiwi found she couldn't let it, despite herself.
Never in her life did she think she'd end up taking someone under her wing.
A series of vignettes of Kiwi's early days with Lucy as her protégé, set a year or so before the beginning of the series.

A few beers later, they make decisions neither of them will have very long to regret.

Summary
The tarnished to stand before the Elden Ring, to become the Elden Lord; it's a musty old tale in the twilight of the Golden Order.

But when Rutheyn finds herself at the end of that path... something different happens.
Someone else has trod it just before.
======
A retelling of Ranni's storyline in Elden Ring, with a twist. Two tarnished walk the dark path together, under the silvery rays of the moon.

Summary
It would be incredibly easy to say no. To turn on her heel and push her way back into the darkness of the hallway, return to her chambers, and pretend none of this ever happened. But as Zero sees the two of them sitting there before her, arms looped easily around each other like entwined is the most natural way for them to exist, like anything else is a temporary inconvenience— as she wonders, in spite of herself, how it would feel to let them remind her what that feels like— as they smile at her like they want to…
Zero doesn’t know, in specific, what she wants. But, undoubtedly, she wants—for the first time in a very, very, very long time. And that in itself is novel, she thinks. Something to be explored.
“I admit I was… intrigued,” she then says, stiffly, and she gingerly lowers herself to sit on the bed, on Roe’s other side. “By the concept.”
zero’s stay in radz-at-han is proving to be more educational than she initially anticipated. (or: the warrior of light and her wife saw this voidsent from across the bar and they liked her vibe.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Honestly the best Edgerunners fic I've ever read. One of the best fics I've ever read period. If I manage to write imagery even half as moving as some of the lines cicadabug drops on the regular in this fic, I'll have succeeded as a writer. <3

Summary
A myriad after the world around Anor Londo has collapsed, its ruins alone linger in memorial to the long dead goddess, in memorial of her death at the hands of Aldritch. Yet she remains a god, and what is death here but another of life's many lessons?
Awoken to her kingdom long forgotten, Gwyndolin travels across the Fog, to the Lands Between. This is a tale of a solemn omen king, of a tree that stands above all the gods, of a lovable but scheming witch. It is a tale of family reunited after the end of the world, their struggles as they navigate what that means. A tale of pain, convalescence, and love. Above all, this is a story of a long forgotten goddess falling in love with a rising Empyrean who has broken the shackles of their ageless curse and seeks the throne.
