When all hope is gone, the crew of Hestia's Hearth will make their own. The Known Universe has been at peace for almost 100 years, but for most of Brenn's life, trapped on an Earth controlled by the genetically superior Aesir Empire, it hasn't felt like it. The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife's murder, she's found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife's delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn's wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn's wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It's a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. *** CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark, yet hopeful. Updates Every Other Weekend

Everyone has a past, for some their past isn't so forgiving. Who they are now is a reflection of who hurt them then. The way they carry themselves, the way they feel and the way they treat others is who they are now because it wasn't enough to protect them from who they were then. Sienna Moore is in her second year of college. Having had a terrible introduction to college in her first year, she now has a lot of making up to do. She plans to get through the next few years with a heap of studying, Library visits and a lot of coffee. The one thing that has been completely banned from Sienna's agenda is boyfriends...no relationships equals no distractions. The only fault in her perfect plan is Cole, she didn't plan for him, not one bit nor could she have ever imagined what would follow from meeting him.

Where will the journey of the two, together with their colleagues, take them? Will they be able to find happiness with each other? Or are they doomed to be stuck in the present? Will things develop?

In a dark and deep land lives young Marjorie, a woman desperate for something more than her conventional life in her tiny village, Core. She aches for something dangerous, something like the dark forest, Mirkwood, which borders her home. Yet, there is a curse which haunts her people: a Wolf. For the last eighteen years, he takes one innocent life. Fate seems to change at the hands of Vivian, a Wardeness who promises Core a safe passage through Mirkwood. For a moment, Marjorie has everything she has ever wanted: An escape from a fate set in stone... until the Wolf set its dark intentions on her. Now, she is forced to decide: Will she defeat the Wolf or will she willingly be devoured? __________________ The stranger turned to face her. This close, it was easy to see his handsome features. From his high cheekbones to his piercing gray eyes, he was unlike any sully-faced villager. Instead, he wore his beauty with a casual grace, as if he were clueless to the plumpness of his lips or the flat, smooth surface of his chest. "Am I a what?" The man cocked a thick, dark brow up. He pushed his right hand into the pocket of his trousers, but not before Marjorie caught a glimpse of the heavy jewels on his fingers. He drowned in an opulence few villagers could afford. "I take that as a no," she said. "What is your name, stranger?" He looked to her, and then his gaze traveled to where men and women continued to fling themselves around the heat of the bonfire. You don't belong here, she thought.
