    Summary

    Strange things happen on the day of Martin's mother's funeral. The funeral itself is paid for in full, right down to the coffin and the plot. The people who attend it are strangers to him. When he goes wandering deeper into the cemetery, he meets a strange man with an even stranger dog.

    Unfortunately, there is more to his mother's anonymous benefactor than Martin realizes. Fortunately, there's more to the man and the dog, as well.

    Summary

    In the last five years of Lord Magnus’ reign, he conscripted criminals and other undesirables to become his soldiers. He took their hearts, so that they won’t know fear or pain, and gave them a heart of stone instead.

     

    Martin is looking for his old heart; during his search he becomes embroiled in a contest to win the hand of the new lord, Jon.

    Summary

    "Jon didn’t know if his marriage was abusive or not. It didn’t matter, though, because he wasn’t trapped. He could leave if he wanted. 

    But leaving would be giving up Jonah’s gift, and Jon wouldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that. He still had nightmares of teeth and claws and blood, not-quite faded memories of his life before. Jonah had saved him from that, and it was a gift worth the tears and bruises and fear.

    Jon’s relationship with Jonah was a delicate balance. If Jonah pushed too hard, Jon would leave. If Jon pushed too hard, Jonah would cast him out. The threat of their arrangement coming to an end was enough to keep them both in line."

    Jon is stuck with a jealous, cruel sorcerer husband. And then a baker moves into town.

    everyone gets turned into animals exactly the way you think they would and it's perfect and also maybe this is what falling in love is about.

    Really wonderful fantasy AU, good utilization of Magnus (he's properly scary!!) and excellent birds.

    Summary

    Jon hadn’t anticipated just how quiet it would be at Daisy’s cottage. He definitely hadn’t anticipated how that quiet settles something inside of him, like balm on an injury he didn’t know he had. He’d thought the lack of human presence would make him more aware of the loss still sitting in the pit of his stomach, heavy and solid, but it’s … it’s nice to have the space to process things. To know that he’s currently alone by choice, not by happenstance, and that he has the freedom to just be. Jon lets the solitude envelop him like a weighted blanket, warm and comfortable and safe.

    It’s a few days later when he first meets the man who pets the cows.

    .

    Following the loss of his grandmother, Jon takes a sabbatical and moves up to northern Scotland to stay in Daisy's cabin and study the religious culture of the village near it. There, he meets Martin, his apparent and unwanted neighbor who makes odd jokes and seems to exist solely to ruin Jon's attempts at finally getting some peace and quiet. But as Jon spends more time with Martin, he begins to warm up to him and, as time goes on, to fall in love with him.

    It just takes him a bit to realize that the man he's fallen in love with is a god.
