A collection of one-shots recounting the early years of Klaus (The Umbrella Academy), through the eyes of Rin (the original character from 'A bend in space-time', available on my profile).

[2024 WATTYS SHORTLIST] A delicate orphan with lethal powers. A ruthless pirate with revenge on the brain... Luana remembered fire. Fire, and nothing else. Her life before awakening on the inky shores of the Isle of Women was a mystery to her. One she had given up solving a long time ago. But when a pirate washes ashore and people start dying, she must journey through treacherous waters, into a world of magic, piracy, and war.

The time vortex carried us away from the apocalyptic blazes. Backwards. And now we're scattered, back to the early '60s, wandering in search of a new way. Soon, against all odds, the end of the world will be upon us once again... --- In this fic, I use an OC appearing almost only in deleted scenes - Rin - to revisit and analyze The Umbrella Academy: to clarify certain points and try to fill in the plot-holes. This fic is not a self-insert nor a OC-centric fic : Rin exists to flesh out the canon characters, and the fic is mostly focused on Klaus Hargreeves. Please read the introduction for more details ♡

I'm Xirasti a pure demon that lives in hell. When I was a child on accident I found an angel trapped in the bottom of a cavern. From the first moment I saw him he was mystical and enchanting. As I grew older he became beautiful and had me enraptured. Then I set him free. Things did not go as expected. What I do know is: I almost died for him. I burned for him. I bled for him. I sacrificed for him. I deceived for him. I stole for him. I longed for him. Then once he is free I do them all over again and again. Because Sam, I'd follow him anywhere. What better reason is there to sacrifice yourself for someone other than love?

Writing poetry has always been for me a way to get rid of my emotions on the topic at hand. Sometimes positive emotions come out and other times negative. A lot of these are poems that helped me deal with my leaving a toxic relationship. I hope through my poetry someone can relate to what my thoughts were when writing.

Cover made by @MadamM95 Synopsis: "1900, Louisiana. The Wild West is drowning in bourbon, saloon music and broken promises. Marina Lagunova Łupków Petrova Kaminski, a legendary bounty hunter, returns from the powder fields of China carrying more scars than dreams. She wants peace, or at least to pretend that peace can exist. But in New Orleans, nothing is simple because a casino boat on the Mississippi shines like an invitation to hell: cards, champagne, jazz... and blood. Marina boards thinking she's going to play and discovers that, in fact, it's the board. Amid shootouts in luxurious saloons, political conspiracies and treacherous alliances, Marina begins to build something greater than any bounty: an empire. From cards to bullets. From mud to absolute power. She will stop at nothing to write her name in history as the richest, most feared woman, and, one day, the first President of the United States" Age rating: +16 Note 1: This book is an English translation of the original work in Brazilian Portuguese called À Dois Passos do Sucesso e Redenção Note 2: Contains strong words and scenes, names of real people, etc. Note 3: This story here was made just as a hobby

Zoe's only wish is to be able to run barefoot through grass, but she knows it'll never happen. Ever since she was born, she's been unable to touch anything living without it instantly dying. It's a curse she would do anything to get rid of, but that her coven considers their best weapon. They have asked her, from time to time, to kill potential threats to the coven, and it has become time for it again. The target this time is a witch hunter that has killed several witches from the coven. It's a task that, albeit dangerous, seems easy enough to Zoe. That is until she looks into the eyes of the witch hunter's son and realises that he is her mate. ------ Mature rating due to: explicit scenes, suicidal thoughts, (magical) torture/violence/abuse, death ------ This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (ongoing) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.

'My father's died. Come crash here for a while?' As she comes home from work, Rin finds this message from Klaus on her answering machine. She has no idea she's about to get caught in a spiral that will change her life forever. - I chose to revisit and analyze The Umbrella Academy by introducing an original character (OC): Rin, one of the 43 children. One of those... Reginald Hargreeves didn't adopt.
