Title: Imprint Author: Hermit in the Cave Format: Online novel, series Published/free: Free Length: 258,505 Status: Complete, with 5 chapters of the sequel, Ripple Effect, released. Currently updating, this is an active story. Rating: Mature Warnings: Murder, language, rape&other sexual crimes mentioned/implied, group homes,  Here are the authors warning: “Okay, two things to know upfront to help you decide if this is something you want to read, or not your cup of tea - I’ll be honest, my work is not for everyone and plenty of people will fall into that latter category. 1. This is going to be long. It’s also not a straight forward sort of story, non linear and a big part of the mystery is what exactly is going on. 2. There will be violence here. I write about troubled characters, not all those characters are nice people, not all of those not-so-nice people are villains either. That last point especially can be a real deal breaker for some, so keep it in mind.

Tragic soul mates, a human weapon, an elven exile and a tortured empath are pushed into play. Between ancient mysteries, relentless hunters and scheming gods, the truth runs deeper and they were trapped here long ago…

Review: Wow. This is one of the the greatest stories I’ve ever read. It is a fantasy that centers on several main characters as they (and we, as the readers) try to figure out what is going on. It starts a little confusing, but I’m begging you to read through. It starts making sense really quickly. It’s even better on the second read through! I resisted making a rec for so long because I felt that surely someone would rec this Imprint any day now, (and do it much better than I am) but it’s been a while and there is no rec, and a story like this deserves more readers!!

Title: Dragon at the Bar Author: enblackink Format: Short story Published/Free: Free Length: 11,661 Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Mentions of past abuse Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/604772 Summary: After years of running from a past he’d rather not remember a young Dragonet has no care for mating seasons or mates, but a chance meeting at a bar may change all that.

Review: This story rather surprised me. I thought I was going to read something cliche about dragon’s mating, but it was a rather quirky but sweet story about dragon’s mating. I rather liked the speech pattern in this story. It’s not anything too confusing, but for me it felt like a breath of fresh air, something different and interesting that just adds to the charm. The characters were interesting and the little details woven into the story was quite subtle but engaging. Worldbuilding might seem a little off on how the details are revealed and explained, apparently this particular story was an excerpt to a main story that has not actually been written down yet. I don’t really mind myself though. I urge everyone to check this story out!
