Summary
In an effort to save Guillermo's life, Nandor tries to keep the vampire-slaying side of him away from his roommates. His roommates, however, completely misinterpret the reason behind Nandor's attempts to not let anyone be in the same room as Guillermo.
(This fic takes place somewhere after 2x07 and I guess 2x08 with the slight canon divergence where Nandor finds out everything about Guillermo's vampire-hunting after Guillermo killed Carol. It will get more canon divergent as it goes on though)

Summary
"These are potions of perspective. Each one will give you a dream that will show you your life in a new light. This one shows you how the world would look if you had never been born. This one shows you what would happen if you died. But I am going to give you this one. This one shows you what you need to be happy. Not--and this is important--not what you want."

It's better than super slumber.

You're Dead (and Outta This World) by TheOceanIsMyInkwell

Summary
“Holy shit!” shouts the EMT at his side. His partner on the other side of the gurney--the other side of the body bag--follows up with a well-deserved holy fuck and stumbles backward over her boots to sag against the back of the open ambulance.
“I’m fine, I’m fine, oh God, I’m sorry,” Guillermo babbles. His knees are trembling. He wriggles out of the body bag and hops to his feet, feeling like his legs are a cross between jello and underbaked macaroons, and he repeats his litany of apologies as he bounces from one foot to another to restore circulation.
Pain shoots through his joints from the roots of his toes. He ignores it, instead pivoting his head from side to side wildly seeking the detritus of his phone and groceries.
“Sir! Sir! You were--sir, please get back here! You were dead!”
“Not today, sorry!”

Summary
Soul marks disappear from the flesh of the dead — and the undead, too, as it turns out. But does that mean that the connection to their soul mate fades as well? And what does that mean for the soul itself?
(These questions are all way above Guillermo’s pay grade.)

Nandor’s not great at talking about his feelings. Luckily, every time he screws up a confession, he just makes Guillermo forget it. He’ll get it right eventually.
There’s just one minor problem with this plan: Guillermo, unbeknownst to him, has developed an immunity to mind wiping.

A Pathologist's Guide to Getting a Date by dab_of_paint
Fandoms: Twilight Series - All Media Types
29 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Isabella Marie Swan, 28, had long since grown up. The Cullens left her high and dry, and while she could certainly see how hormones had made her a raving maniac for a melodramatic teenage boy, she did not foresee how much it would rankle to be shown a world where she'd have had all the time in the world—and then be cut off.
It started with the search for a connection to the ones that left—a medical career, maybe a way to get a glimpse of at least Carlisle Cullen—but she quickly noticed what had really fascinated her all these years: Death—in all of its beautiful, terrible glory.
Hence, she became a forensic pathologist.
OR
Bella Swan is smitten with Death, slightly cynical, and finds it a giggle-worthy idea to move to Florence to work as a pathologist in the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, a little more than a stone's throw away from one Volterra Castle.
That was - before she'd had to do four consecutive night shifts because someone was an idiot and didn't clean up after themselves.
Hence, she sent the Volturi a brain, since they obviously needed one.
Aro thinks she's flirting.

Summary
The headache was getting worse. He’d been aware of it, on and off, for a couple of days. It was strange; Cliopher would have thought, with the princes and their entourages safely on their way, that the strain would be lifting.
(All fics in this series build out from events in Embers - and therefore spoil it - but I've tried to keep them viable as stand-alones too.)

a key that winds through secret wards by rattyjol for FairestCat

Summary
The cell was two ells long and one ell wide. A padded bench along one wall provided a modicum of comfort; a lidded garderobe in the opposite corner another. The door, bolted from the outside, was set with a barred window, warded to permit a dusty beam of light in, and no view out. That was all: the bench, the garderobe, the door, and Cliopher.

Summary
“It’s a letter to the Offices of State’s public communications box,” Rhodin said. “With an anecdote about the annual stipend.”
“Is it?” Cliopher said. They got plenty of those letters, of course; usually reading and responding to them was the first-year secretaries’ job. “And it made its way to you?”
“Well,” Rhodin said blithely, “it claims to be from Fitzroy Angursell, you see.”
-
In which Cliopher misses his Radiancy, distracts himself by starting a pseudonymous correspondence with Fitzroy Angursell, and develops an entirely academic and rational interest in determining which member of the Red Company is the friend that Fitzroy won’t stop talking about.
