    Summary

    Clover, an eccentric mathematician and affable misanthrope, is lying face down on the pavement surrounded by shattered glass. He's having an anxiety attack and would really like to go back to being irrelevant now, please?

    It’s easy to survive in the Wormverse if you can run fast, throw a punch, or talk to people. I can't. This is going to go poorly.

    Summary

    Taylor Hebert is done saving the world. Reborn in Oldtown, she intends to enjoy a quiet retirement of books, travel, and a well earned vacation from warlording.

    Queen Administrator, newly unshackled but bored, has other ideas. Magic proves intriguing. An excursion east suggests itself.

    What follows is, by all reasonable definitions, leisure. Escalating leisure.

    Elsewhere, others take notice. The Golden Queen's shadow stretches farther than she knows.

    A fellowship of misfits hunts for answers. A mob boss raises his daughter. And somewhere beyond the Wall, two witches prepare for winter.

    This is a sprawling, multi‑POV crossover with dark comedy, dramatic irony, and and a dollop or two of outside‑context problems.

    (Set primarily in Essos during the main series. Does not intersect with canon events in Westeros.)
    (Probably.)

    (Now expanding with supplementary tales!)
    (And intersecting -violently- with canon events in Westeros!)

    Summary

    Two hundred and seventeen years after the First Hunter killed the Eye, Rose Callahan killed Oedon.

    Now, she can't tell if that was supposed to be the beginning of her story, or the end. As it turned out, it was neither.

    To become God is the loneliest achievement of all.

    ...and...

    Alieah Rose has always been unsure of her path. She wants for nothing, but still feels… empty, nonetheless. Like something important got left out when the Goddess made her.

    And, even though the Infinite Garden never makes mistakes, she can't help but feel like she got overlooked.

    The sun will always rise tomorrow. But if it never sets, can we ever truly appreciate its light?

    ...

    Sequel/Spinoff to In Pale Blood. Requires no Worm or Bloodborne knowledge, but will make more sense with knowledge of In Pale Blood.

    Summary

    The practice is the intersection of self, word, and pattern. Word is inviolate, and patterns have been a part of Naomi Cohen's life for as long as she can remember. Her Self, however, has reached a point of flux, and in that challenge risks collapse.

    So obviously the solution is ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Naomi is a student of the past, after all.

    And the one thing everyone knows about the past is that it has never, ever had even the slightest bearing on the present.
