At seventeen, Errol Aitken realised he's in love with Alasdair Bailey. But living in a small Scottish village surrounded by prejudice, bigotry, and homophobia, he made the decision to hide his love and remain with the unknowing Alasdair as his best friend. Eight years later, he's still in love, and Alasdair's still oblivious of it. Though he is hurting, Errol keeps telling himself it's enough as long as he gets to be by Alasdair's side. As long as Alasdair is happy. But how much pain and longing can Errol take until he's reached his limit? Especially when their dynamic is tested as Alasdair gets into a relationship. ----- Mature rated due to: Sexual fantasies and mastrubation (though it's all rather non-explicit). Topic of homophobia - both external and internalised. ----- The Novellas of the Highlands: - Oak's Tea Room - The Oblivious Fool - The Second Draft - A Wish Come True - To be named

When Ethan Eaton comes home for the Christmas holiday to find his parents have been killed by vampires, his life takes a drastic turn. Leaving behind his old life, he opens a café in a village located in the Scottish Highlands, which rumours say is frequently visited by supernatural beings. His plan is simple: learn more about magical beings and find out why his parents died. There is no room for distractions, and there is especially no room for his growing feelings towards the fiery and whimsical village girl Airlia, who happens to also be chasing magic. ----- ONC 2025 Round 2 Winner & Shortlister! ----- The Novellas of the Highlands: - Oak's Tea Room - The Oblivious Fool - The Second Draft - A Wish Come True - To be named

River Kinsella is a fine art student struggling to keep her head above the water. On a rather eventful journey home, she crosses paths with Beatrice Ashcroft, a witch of the Umbral Coven who is destined to change her life forever. River isn't quite ready to accept that, but little does she know that events have already been set in motion. A powerful archdemon vies for a power she doesn't know she possesses yet, and will stop at nothing to attain it. It's Beatrice's job to make sure River accepts her new reality and rises to fulfill her potential, following in her mother's footsteps before things can turn awry. Beatrice's task is this: bring River into the Umbral Coven and, together, avert the archdemon Kain's plans to bring about the end of the world as we know it. Prompt: 11) The daughter of the most powerful witch is not like her mother. Content warnings: Language (swearing), explicit violence and gore, sexual themes, kidnapping.

Rhesies cannot help but to brag to the other faeries after the High Priestesses have asked her to help defeat the prophesised five witches that'll come and change the magical world. She believes that her plan, that'll apeace the High Priestesses but still bring forth the future the faeries want, is the best of them all. What she didn't count on was how all-consuming the task would become, how it would take over her entire life. What she also didn't expect was that sweet girl, that's been through far too much but still managed to remain pure, to come along. ----- Mature rating due to: sexually explicit scenes, death (including euthanasia), (magical) violence ----- 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 (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

Danae has lived for well over two thousand years and she is tired of it, but unable to die. She has withdrawn from most magical creatures, including other witches, as she has seen far too many acts of selfishness and greed. The exceptions are the dragon Rikus and phoenix Zeal, who she counts as family, as well as the few friends who visit on occasion. And, of course, the pack of wolf-shifters located near the cave she calls home, who she's unable to avoid due to recurring conflicts. As all members of his pack, Aidric has grown up hearing the stories of the cruel treatment the pack has suffered at the hands of the Witch of the Mountain. As such, there's no doubt in his mind she is the one responsible for the disappearance of children from the pack. But when he goes to confront her, his opinion of her takes a drastic change. Having lived for so long and knowing she cannot die, Danae is determined to reject the Alpha of the wolf pack when it turns out he is her mate. Aidric, however, is equally determined to win her over and asking her to help find the missing children is a perfect way to keep her close. ----- Mature rating due to: explicit scenes, mentions of suicide attempts, thoughts of wanting to die, (magical) violence ----- 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 (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)

Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- 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 (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)

Morana knows she's different from other people in more ways than one. Firstly, she's sixty-seven years old but stopped ageing in her twenties. Weird things have also happened around her right after she's wished for it. But most importantly, no matter how she acts, people feel uncomfortable around her. Unfortunately, she has no way of finding out why all of this is since she was abandoned as a baby. A shocking event makes her cross paths with Alejo, a male witch who has issues trusting other witches. But when it comes to Morana, he feels comfortable and at ease, as well as attracted to her. They are, however, not mates, and as such, he knows that any romantic relationship between them is doomed to fail. To not risk losing her, he therefore does all he can to fight his own feelings. [Can be read without having read volume one and two] ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence (magical mainly, but some that's rather bloody), death, attempted rape (happens in chapter 42 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fairly none-descriptive, focus is on emotions, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), abuse both physically and verbally - mention of past child abuse. There is no self-harm, however, there are certain aspects that might still be triggering in that regard. If you ever have any questions about the content and potential triggers, feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to specify more if need be. ---------- 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 (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)

Crimson's parents were killed by vampires when she was 6 years old. Because of that, she's sworn vengeance on all vampires and spends every night tirelessly hunting for vampires to kill. Lamech is the leader of the biggest vampire clan in the world. Since taking the leadership, he's worked without rest to stop vampires from killing to feed, as well as improve the bad reputation they have. When the two meet, Crimson believes that Lamech has turned a teenage girl into a vampire and is determined to kill him. A determination that fades as she realizes he is her mate. Instead, she decides to never accept him. As a vampire, Lamech does not feel the mate bond. He does, however, feel intrigued, worried, and confused by Crimson. He also knows that she's a danger to his kind and as such, he decides to lock her up until he's figured her out.

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.
