Writing Masterlist & Upcoming Projects

Hello and welcome to the Eldritchverse! I write mostly Shadowheart stories (predominantly based around the 'Stormheart' couple of Shadowheart and Florwyn), but also have an Aylin and Isobel longfic, and a stray wolfheart fic for people who don't normally like werewolves. All of my stories have F/F romance pairings.

There are frequently story 'bonuses' you'll find linked in the AO3 chapter notes, and some works even have accompanying music I have written.

Stormheart

The main stormheart fics are Shadowheart Begins and its sequel, Wind Change. There are also some alternate timeline fics either written or planned that explore stories of the couple where different key decisions were made.

Shadowheart Begins (120k words - complete)

A story of love and healing that takes place during the BG3 game events, as Shadowheart and Florwyn learn to love, and confront their past so they can find the future they truly dream of. Wind Change (35k + words - in progress)

Shadowheart and Florwyn's life after the Absolute Crisis is perfect - almost. While Shadowheart is getting used to the idea that the wound in her hand might not be there forever, a new ability is tempting Florwyn that could put their peaceful existence at risk. And then an unexpected visitor threatens to shake up their whole world ... Sequel to Shadowheart Begins, though not necessary to have read that work.

Reaching For You (11,500 words - complete)

A 'what if' spin-off of Shadowheart Begins. Twenty years after the events of the defeat of the netherbrain, Florwyn finds out that the Sharran church in Baldur's Gate is to be declared a terrorist organisation and a bounty placed on the head of her old flame, Mother Superior Shadowheart. She cannot turn down one last, very final chance, to try and bring her old friend back to the light.

The Nocturne Letters (6,917 words - complete)

After the events of the game, Nocturne and Shadowheart correspond with each as 'S' and 'N', with occasional references to Shadowheart's partner 'F' (Florwyn). Shadowheart shares news of her cottage life, while Nocturne relays what is taking place in the Sharran religion after Viconia's death.

By Your Side (1,396 words - complete)

A snippet from Shadowheart's POV of events during Reaching For You.

Shadowheart is a prisoner, with a death sentence. And it hasn’t escaped her sense of irony, that she feels freer than she has in a long time ...

Let Love Win (1,490 words - complete)

A snippet from Isobel's POV of events during Shadowheart Begins, chapter 9.

The strange Sharran, Shadowheart, has been locked away with Florwyn - Isobel's patient, watching over her all night. The two of them had been rumoured to be secretly together but had had a falling out.

As Isobel prepares to bring her patient breakfast, she wonders what she will find when she opens the door to her room.

Wolfkat

'Wolfheart' is the moniker for stories where Shadowheart has inherited her fathers' lycanthropy. I did indeed name the Tav in this couple Kat so that their portmanteau would be Wolfkat.

I'll Be Your Light (22k+ words - in progress)

Between the fascinating ranger who walks assured of her purpose and the tadpole in her head, Shadowheart has plenty to keep her occupied without discovering that she is a werewolf.

But as she struggles with her faith, her growing feelings toward Kat and her new form, the worst happens ... Can Shadowheart and Kat find light in the darkness? A wolfheart story for people who are not fond of werewolves.

Aylin & Isobel

One Hundred Years of Anger (32k+ words - in progress)

This is the Aylin and Isobel's story. It starts in the Shadowfell and goes back in time to how they met, the challenges they overcame to be together, their wonderful years before Isobel's (first) death, and how they reforged their partnership and overcame the trauma of the Shadowfell and Ketheric to find happiness once more.

While there is crosssover in this story with Shadowheart Begins and Wind Change (as they become friends with Shadowheart and Florwyn), it is not necessary to have read either of those fics.

One Hundred Years of Anger Music

One Hundred Years Later - original piano music evoking Aylin and Isobel, by me

Deepseaheart

A crackfic collaboration with @fogno that we are writing together. Expect humorous absurdity as Josephine Jackson, a scientist from the 1950s, unexpectedly drops in on Faerun at an unfortunate or fortunate moment. (Depending on perspective).

Light on the Edge of a Singularity - (2,500+ words - in progress)

A useless lesbian in a deep sea helmet gets trapped in another universe and falls for a hot nun.

Meanwhile, Shadowheart tries to make sense of a stranger that emerged from the Chionthar in the oddest armor she’s ever seen. And they're stuck inside it ... because of her.

Upcoming Projects

These are projects that I have started and intend to eventually post. None of these have titles yet.

Stormheart Music

I am nearly finished writing a piece of piano music intended to match an upcoming scene in Wind Change.

Stormheart 'What If?'

A one-shot aka Reaching For You answering what would have happened had Shadowheart taken the silverheart route, but made a different choice at the House of Grief regarding her parents than she did in Shadowheart Begins. From Florwyn's POV.

Reaching For You Sequel

I'm not sure if I'll write the whole thing, but there are some bits there I'd like to eventually share.

Stormheart modern AU

A thriller/romance set in modern times, where Florwyn is a concert pianist.

Other Creative

Shadowheart Piano Piece

I was inspired by Shadowfallen's beautiful, cosy Shadowheart AU fic, 'Before The Last Brew' to write a piano piece.

You can listen to it here.

Shadowheart ASMR

I created a Shadowheart ASMR track for fun, using her assist player voice lines. If you're having a bad day, let Shadowheart soothe you.

You can listen to it here.

I'll Be Your Light Part 2 now out!

A wolfheart story for people who don't like werewolves.

After

“You have to eat,” Shadowheart says briskly, using every ounce of her Sharran-honed self-control to keep her writhing emotions locked beneath the surface to project a calm she does not feel.

A bandage has been wrapped around Kat’s head, covering her eyes, and the ranger sits slumped against a pillar, barely responsive.

Halsin had carried her out of the forge and back to their camp in the Sharran temple. After some awkward standing around, everyone scattered to dwell in their own thoughts. Some had whispered conferences in distant corners, while Shadowheart was left to watch over their leader … or the woman who was their leader, because how can Kat still lead them now? And what will happen to their group without Kat keeping them together? This is a brand new worry Shadowheart had never imagined they would have to think about, not while Kat was at the helm smoothing tensions over, keeping them focused and moving forward.

Kat has been the only one of them who made any real effort to forge bonds beyond the strain of their shared predicament. Somehow, she managed to pull their disparate group together and even get them co-operating despite personality clashes and the ever-threatening hopelessness of their mission.

Whoever leads next will have big shoes to fill, but fill them they must for their tadpole problem has not become any less urgent.

Kat sighs and holds out a hand for bread that Shadowheart carefully places in her palm.

Her other hand gropes around the floor for the cup of water beside her and Shadowheart is on the brink of helping – about to cry out a warning – but too late, the water cup is knocked and spills, seeping water into Kat’s trousers.

“Well. This sucks.” Kat’s voice is brittle from humiliation. “This fucking sucks.”

In one angry twisting motion, she throws the bread aside, and the cup after it.

She breathes heavily, clenching her fists together as they listen, Shadowheart wincing, to the rattle of the cup descending with excruciating slowness down the chasm it had fallen into. Then there is a ringing silence.

“Never mind,” Shadowheart says in her best trying-to-patch-things-over voice. “Let’s go to your tent. I can help you get changed – ”

“What, are you going to be my nurse now?” Kat says hotly, and with far more bitterness than Shadowheart had been prepared to be on the receiving end of – not from Kat. “Changing my pants – like I’m a baby?”

“N-no,” Shadowheart starts uncertainly. “But Kat, you’re going to need to accept some help, to begin with at least. Until you get used to – ” Her soothing words are violently interrupted.

“I don’t want to get used this!” Kat yells. “This is bullshit!”

Bullshit! The word echoes around the chasm, over and over, as multiple suffering Kat’s protest the unfairness of it all.

“I know,” Shadowheart says, stricken and blinking back tears, and not knowing what to say. “It’s complete bullshit, Kat!”

Kat takes a deep breath, and then deflates completely, her anger gone, her body sinking heavily against the pillar. It is a far more alarming sight than the anger on their normally indefatigable ranger who has cheerfully encouraged them through all their challenges to date.

“But also, I’ve water all over my pants, and that’s embarrassing,” Kat says in a low, lifeless voice, holding out her hand for Shadowheart to help her up and guide her to her tent.

Shadowheart leads Kat, not daring to say anything when there are no right words to say, other than warnings about uneven surfaces ahead that she delivers in an unnaturally calm voice, trying to keep her own roiling emotions in check.

There is another pang as she realises they will need to procure a stick for Kat to use to feel for obstacles ahead. Will Kat ever be able to track, and nimbly skirt through forests again?

Don’t think about it, Shadowheart tells herself firmly, as she leaves releases Kat’s hand at the entrance to her tent.

Shadowheart has never been inside her tent before. Everything is tidily packed away or folded neatly – the bedroll is even rolled up and stored in a corner, as though Kat is prepared for travel at a moment’s notice. Even Kat’s few changes of clothes are folded in a perfectly crisp, uniform manner in her rucksack. Removing a fresh pair of trousers disrupts this perfection, but it can’t be helped.

“Just put them in my hands, Shadowheart,’ Kat says in an empty voice from beside her. “I don’t want you to dress me.”

“All right,” Shadowheart says quickly, relieved and feeling guilty for it that Kat cannot see how upset she is. It couldn’t be clearer that Kat doesn’t want her around for a moment longer than necessary. She understands why, but it still hurts.

“Just … go …” Kat says, turning away from her, holding the trousers slackly in one hand. “Please, just go.”

Shadowheart makes a noise in the back of her throat of assent and rushes out of the tent, her lip trembling, tears threatening to fall.

She cannot blame Kat for being angry and hurt, but the dismissal still stings.

For Kat does not know that Shadowheart is out on a limb, defying every instinct her religion has instilled in her, in trying to help at all.
