What do you do when your kids include a giant wolf, a sea serpent, and a half-dead girl? Loki is a trickster god, shapeshifter, and sometimes morally-gray villain. But they love their weird, monstrous children. So when a prophecy reveals their existence to Odin, he has no choice but to hide them in a time and place nearly forgotten by the gods: A quaint and horrifically-ordinary suburban town. But this new world is different, with its PTO bake sales and angry soccer parents. Loki's children have to make some big changes to remain undetected, and the Father of Monsters and Mother of Evil might be in a little over her head. Because the gods are looking for them, and they'll stop at nothing to lock those horrid, horrid things away. So, after doing some thinking, I've decided to take down "Those Horrid, Horrid Things" from Wattpad at the start of 2023, save for possibly one or two updated chapters. It wasn't an easy decision to make, especially with all the lovely comments I've received from readers, but it seems to be the most appropriate move as I further edit the story and make plans to possibly publish it in some way.

The whispers of the dead have haunted Osira Karim her whole life. Born to a rift in spacetime, to a mother from an alternate universe, she was bound to be unusual - but she doesn't know any of that, and in any case, her almost-finished physics degree puts most ideas of the supernatural firmly outside of her beliefs. However, when one of the voices rises above the others to beg that she investigates his death, the truth of her ability and family becomes the very thing that will save the world - or rather, both worlds - from a cult bent on harvesting abilities like Osira's.

Once upon a time, there were three gods. Sol, Lord of the Sun; Aster, Guardian of the Stars; and Luna, Lady of the Moon. Then war broke out between the Solars and the Lunars, and Aster sacrificed themself to stop it. To prevent such tragedy from occurring again, Luna and Sol decided to create two spirits, two people who would be their representatives among humanity, two people, reincarnated every hundred years, two people who would keep blood from being spilt again. For millennia, they succeeded. But it only takes one loss. A hundred years after the fall of the City of Artemis and the extinction of the Lunar people, two girls are born. Diurne and Aurora are the next two in the line of Chosen. Can they restore Artemis and the balance between the Light and the Dark- or will they fall, this time, for good.
