Misc ongoing plot mysteries:

- What's the deal with the prophecy about Thorn?
- Will I ever run out of plant names?
- How long until that unauthorized time traveler becomes a problem?
- Who's going to win Magic Eurovision?
- Who's going to crash the Magic Eurovision party?

Oh, and there are canon AUs! Just in case you thought the main comic didn't have enough vampire hunting, space opera, religious pining, and/or Colbert Report references.

They have their own subcategory in the archives, if you want to browse:

And the rest of the cast covers a whole diverse spread of relationships -- online flirting (there's a magic internet), school crushes, one-night stands, lifelong marriages.

LGBTQ characters everywhere. (I'm sure you got that from the art, but now it'll come up in text searches.)

Running through it all is the Leif/Thorn romance, in stages...

1) Like at first sight
2) Friendship
3) Mutual pining
4) Confession
5) Frantic wrestling w/language barrier
6) Delicate equilibrium of not-dating to sidestep the nastier clauses in Leif's contract
7) ???
8) Profit!
