In a realm divided by courts and ruled by destiny, love was never meant to be simple. After years away from courtly life, Princess Nea Kavarra returns to the Silver Court with a crown on the horizon and a mate she barely knows. She's expected to step into her role as future queen of the Eternity Court beside Cyprien Bane-dark, powerful, and undeniably hers by fate's design. But fate has never accounted for the heart. Torn between the intense pull of her mate bond and the lingering feelings she harbors for her best friend, Kasimir Lockre-the golden prince of the Celestial Court-Nea finds herself at the center of a dangerous love triangle. With the courts on edge and mysterious forces threatening Neovial's borders, every choice she makes could tip the balance between peace and chaos. As passion collides with duty, Nea must decide what she's willing to sacrifice: her throne, her heart, or the fragility of their land. Fated is a seductive romantasy perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and A Court of Thorns and Roses, blending court intrigue, forbidden love, and the peril of destiny.

Instead, they buried her alive. Solace Mercy Grace Partridge was destined to become the youngest Imperial Librarian in Sanfelton's storied history, until jealous rivals framed her, stripped her title, and exiled her to a prison island. Alone, disgraced, and forgotten, she swore revenge. But fate has other plans, and so do her enemies. Xīwàng, the Tavla of Beltrit, her country's enemy, rescues her from a fate worse than death, offering her a dangerous bargain: disguise herself as a male Calashan noble and spy for him in the very empire that betrayed her. As part of the deal, she must play the part of his devoted fiancée and help him escape the golden cage of his responsibility as god-king of the Beltritian empire. To survive, Solace becomes Kaashif Rathe. To win, she must bury her heart. But the longer she assumes the dual role of the Tavla's Frelan, Beltrit's title for his fiancée, and the fake prince, Kaashif Rathe, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and something real begins. Xīwàng is kind, clever, and... broken. She realizes how similar she is to the Beltritian. And beneath her mask, Solace is no longer sure if her vengeance can survive his touch. And her role as Kaashif puts her in the sights of the three princes of Sanfelton... and dangerously close to Kohl Sanfelton, who destroyed her former life. In this world of deception, she must be careful not to deceive herself and lose her very soul. #2 in genderbender on 4/7/2023

[ONC2024] Everyone can read minds except for Ethan Langdon. And Ethan Langdon has the dumbest (and cutest!) thoughts Lukas Hoffmann has ever heard. ____ Part one complete. Part two updating every Friday until completion (but already fully complete on my Kofi!) ____ Lukas Hoffman's life in Brambleburg is about as boring as you'd expect for a town where everyone can read minds. He's used to his routine of dusting the LPs at the record store where he works and helping out his grandma around the house. Nothing in Brambleburg changes. No one in Brambleburg changes. Until Ethan Langdon stumbles in with the soggy remnants of a paper map, asking for the quickest route to Berlin. Ethan, it turns out, doesn't have telepathy, and as aggravatingly inane as his thoughts are, Lukas hasn't felt the excitement of meeting a stranger since.... well, ever. And the more Lukas listens, the more he starts enjoying Ethan's cute thoughts about life, the universe, and Lukas's dimples. ____ Might bring to mind: "Cherry Magic" but set in a fictive European town where everyone except the love interest can read minds. ____ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024 using prompts 8, 75, 82, and 85. 8.
