Thaddaeus is a killer. A skilled hitman and negotiator, working under the small but notoriously known organized criminal syndicate, Enigma. Thaddaeus is also tired. Bored of his work and its repetitive and bloody nature. But one thing that the gangster looks forward to; is getting absolved of his sins via the priests of St. Clementia's Chapel. It's his safe haven and a place to make peace with his crimes and with himself. However, when his usual priest is out sick, Thaddaeus finds himself having to find absolution from a young volunteer priest with a voice that makes the gangster want to sin both in and out of the church. **Man x Man story**

'He thought he was just there to serve tea. Not tail.' 📚 World Setup- The kingdom of Velcrist is ruled by a centuries-old beastkin monarchy. Humans and beastkin coexist, but their customs differ wildly. Beastkin traditions-especially those around mating, courting, and status-are elaborate, ancient, and often ridiculous. Most humans think they're just outdated rituals. The royal family is composed of high-ranking beastkin-each descended from powerful, semi-divine ancestral lines. Dunk, the youngest prince, is a panther beastkin with a temper, a crown, and a very... selective mating instinct. He's seen as cold and untamable. Until Joong. ---- 🎭 Main Characters: 👑 Dunk- Beastkin prince. Panther line. Sharp-tongued, terrifying in battle, bored of royal life. Emotionally constipated but romantically intense. Scent-marking Joong without realizing it's not normal. ☕ Joong- Human. Hired as Dunk's personal butler. Just wants to keep his job, drink tea, and not die. Snarky, unshakable, oddly good at handling beastkin politics. Has no idea he's being courted.

🌹🗝️ Dating Is Easy When You're the Only Option A dark romantic comedy of obsession, isolation, and very inconvenient feelings. Joong doesn't believe in love. At least, not the kind that lasts. He's witty, bitter, and perpetually three emotional breakdowns from deleting all his dating apps. So when he jokingly writes in his profile, "Just kidnap me already. I'm tired." he thinks he's being sarcastic. Dunk doesn't do sarcasm. He does plans. Blueprints. Strategies. Eternal, undying devotion. When he matches with Joong, it's not a swipe-it's a promise. One candlelit date and a spiked glass of wine later, Joong wakes up in a secluded villa, tucked in velvet sheets, with his new boyfriend smiling sweetly at him from the doorway. "You said you wanted to stop looking. So I made sure you wouldn't have to." There's no signal. No Wi-Fi. No exit. Only gourmet meals, endless compliments, and a boyfriend who quotes Joong's tweets back to him from memory. As days melt into nights, Joong can't decide what's worse: being trapped by a psycho... or realizing he kind of, maybe, likes it.

-He was my stepfather. The man my mother married after my real dad died. I hated him-or at least I thought I did. Until she left. And he stayed. When Joong's mother vanishes with a new lover, she leaves behind a letter, a home, and a truth-plus one very devoted stepfather. Dunk never tried to replace Joong's father... but he's always been there. Quiet. Kind. Too kind. And Joong is starting to wonder if all that resentment has been covering up something else entirely. A short, emotionally complex, age-gap drama full of tenderness, love, and the quiet heartbreak of loving someone you're not supposed to. A contract marriage. A broken family. An 18-year-old boy who hates the man he believes stole his mother-and a man who only wanted to protect them both. Joong never asked for a new father. Especially not one like Dunk-quiet, responsible, and irritatingly handsome. Dunk married his mother for reasons Joong doesn't understand, and now that she's gone, Dunk still won't leave. But in the silent spaces between slammed doors and unspoken truths, something begins to shift. Steady. Domestic. Emotional. This is not the story they expected.

Well, this wasn't exactly what Sebastian thought he was going to have to deal with when he came to this forest. He was looking for a werebear that had lost its mind somewhere out here. But now he seemed to stumble upon a werewolf instead. He must have been in really bad shape to be that far gone. He was glad that he had found the right song to sooth and calm him. Now that the beast's rage was gone, it was slowly transforming into a human form. He hadn't really dealt with werewolves that much. They usually knew how to handle themselves and conduct themselves accordingly with society. It made this one all the stranger of an experience. "It's okay, buddy," he pet its head. "You're alright now. Rest your head and know that you are safe." The beast's head was resting on his lap as he hummed softly at it. Petting ever so gently right between his ears, he watched as the beast relaxed, slowly turning into the human form that was connected to it. The face took the longest to shift, but the man looked so peaceful when Sebastian was able to see it. And then he saw the rest of the man that was laying partly on top of him. Oh no. He forgot that they aren't clothed when they shifted. A blush came to his cheeks as he forced his eyes to stay on the man's face. Dammit all. Why did this beast have to be so handsome? * Sebastian Julien Jean Dubois was a part of the most famous family of beast tamers in the entire European and Asian continent. From Dragons to demons, and all the in betweens, he's tamed them all. But when his first trip to America lands him in a forest with a beserk werewolf, Sebastian now finds himself in the middle of a mystery. Werewolves don't normally go beserk. And this one was an Alpha of a small pack, which meant that he was already really strong. Will he be able to figure out what's going on in this strange forest? More challenging than that: Will he be able to do it without falling for the handsome beast? * Completed! 6/13/2022

Getting pregnant by one of the cruelest, horniest, and most powerful ancient immortals was the worst thing that ever happened to Deimos. In an attempt to move on with this life, his mate, Death himself, kills any man he lays his eyes on-he's not allowed to be happy unless it's with him. "My life would be simpler if you didn't kill every poor soul that took me out on a date," Deimos muttered, applying lotion to his hands. "This is tiresome. Blame no one but yourself. If you think I'm going to sit by and let someone else fuck my mate then you're mistaken," Death coldly asserted. "Especially when I could be between those thighs right now."
