Agassia, also known as 'Dark Magick', has been around in some form or other since 1995. At its heart, it's a portal fantasy, though many of the stories are about the residents and past of Agassia, independent of their interactions with world-hoppers Cassandra and her son Ethan. Unsurprisingly, Agassia has grown and evolved over the last nearly-thirty years. The stories in this Agassia Stories section reflect this and may loudly contradict one another and current 'canon'.
(These aren't in any order yet! Let me get a few more uploaded and then I'll see about sorting them.)
Freckles
Minew-in, Sine. Minew-in makes a new friend. Or, well, receives one.
Cookies
Ethan, Minewin, Sine, implied-Minewin/Sine. Ethan thinks too much.
Spiral Stairs
Minewin/Ethan, Ethan, Minewin. Ethan attempts upwards, goes downwards...
.Siren Song.
Minewin/Ethan. Ethan draws him in.
Baby?
Cassandra, Ethan. Cassandra has something to tell Ethan.
Daryn's Desire
Daryn/Ethan, Sannalin, Pashalk. Daliances with a demigod.
Lightning

Beautiful White
Dayn/Kysenn, Riza-in, Light, Taoura. Kysenn wished to be anywhere but-- and Dayn takes advantage.
Haunted
Dayn/Riza-in. Kysenn offers his student, and Ri'za-in learns just how immortality is gained from a corrupt god.
Color
Kee/Night, Night, Kee. Night, posing for a portrait... of sorts.
One Last Battle
Jameson/Daryn. Ko'al James is needed for one last battle. General Daryn doesn't expect the tables to be turned when he goes for a visit.
The Northland
Daryn/Night. For a tale about the South, it certainly has a strange name. Early-Agassia, before the boredom, before the corruption, and as much about Daryn as it is about a great future king.
The Ring
Daryn/Night. An unexpected visitor arrives at the Eastern castle. While his wife is overjoyed, Night isn't entirely sure how to handle Daryn's presence. However, Star knows that her husband and father were once in the Northland Army together...
Summer Night
Kee/Night. Kee and Night have a moment or three on a warm Ruame summer's eve.
Breaking
Dayn, Sannalin. Sannal-in and the slow corruption of the Lifegod.
Abandoned
Sannalin. Sannal-in is want of a bucket and purpose.
No Creature With Wings
Dayn/Kysenn, Kysenn. The last costume ball in Nragser...
Berries
Jameson/Kysenn, Jameson, Kysenn, Daria. A bored goddess gives Jameson an interesting task.
Second Loves
Locca, Erutana/Locca. There are frustrations that come with being the youngest of 'the group' and still be on her initial lifetime, Locca realizes.
Executioner
Darina. Darina hunts.
Apples
Daria, Jameson. Daria needs help finding a guilty party.
Deeper
Taoura, Kysenn. Kysenn is reminded that emotion comes with contact.
Examination
Jarratt, etc. Elsewhere, things begin.
Righted Wrongs
Daryn/Pashalk. Death finds many uses for those bound to her. And though Daryn searches for High Priest Jameson, he finds only a servant, Pashalk.
Unnamed
Jameson/Pashalk. Pashalk finds unexpected release.
Pashalk
Pashalk/??. Sinking farther.
Needle
Minewin/Sine. A young man and his Spectir.
Obsession
Sine. Sine may lack a soul, but he has motivations of his own.
Deserted
Minewin & Sine. Ten years later.
Offerings
Marac & Minewin. Minewin arrives just in time for the rainy season.
Swords
Marac & Minewin. Minewin questions the authenticity of some of Nightstar's sword collection. Marac facepalms.
Dark Magic: Alternate
Cassandra & Ethan. Not really the opening, but more an introduction to two characters with fates more intertwined than just mother and son. Of course, when both end up in Agassia desperately seeking each other through a haze of confusion, the gods have ideas of their own.
Perfection
Sine & Ethan. Somehow the Truth is annoyingly unforthcoming.
A Joke?
Minewin/Ethan. Triumph for Ethan can't be more than bittersweet for Sine.
