(I'm in the process of rewriting this in a google doc so I will not be updating this until it's fully rewritten but I'm posting on Tumblr drafts of each chapter plus other things like character aesthetics and lore you can follow me at notamonster12 as my main blog but I have several ones) Celestine Vauclain was born to command. At nineteen she walks Briar Hall like a monarch-perfect, untouchable, strategic. Declan Ryan is everything she is not: reckless, magnetic, and determined to dismantle her rule. What begins as a battle of wills becomes a dangerous game of obsession, ambition, and secrets. In a world of privilege and hidden sins, who will bend-and who will break?

A poetry book about love of its words, scenarios and conclusions. Love is around us but it all starts with you

In the dead of night, when the wind claws at your windows and the silence grows teeth, this book waits. Inside are ten tales not meant to be read in daylight. They are stories whispered by shadows, remembered by nightmares, and written for those who dare to listen when the world goes quiet. Each page pulses with dread-crafted by B.F. Shivers, a name already feared in the darkest corners of the imagination. These are not bedtime stories. They are warnings. They are confessions. They are the reason you'll leave the light on.

She was peace. But fate wanted chaos. He never believed in marriage, until he saw her. At an inauguration, he, a sharp tongued politician laid eyes on a soft spoken classical dancer with stars in her eyes... and suddenly, his heart rewrote every speech he'd ever given. But instead of confessing, he pulled strings. Arranged the perfect marriage that looked like fate... but was really his choice. Strangers bound by vows, pretending it's all just circumstance. She's shy and graceful. He's cold, composed, and absolutely feral anytime someone else looks at his wife. But under the silence lives everything they never say. What started as a one sided obsession slowly tangles into a deep, fiery love neither of them expected. But secrets have roots, and fate has claws. Because love only blooms right before it burns. --- Start: 04 June, 2025 End:

After being executed for treason, Damira Jerović rises on the third day into a desolate world-where the sky is ash, the winds speak in silence, and Gray Waters lies in ruin. Her grave was not her end, but a threshold. The town that once swore to protect her has surrendered to the whispers of the Vanovic-a lineage of Nosferatus who rule from the shadows and orchestrated her fall. Now, Damira walks once more through the remnants of her past, wielding the red-bladed sword Ruinwrought. This is not a quest for revenge-it is the pursuit of balance in a world desecrated by betrayal. Among corrupted wells, collapsed temples, and ancient symbols etched into crumbling doors, she confronts ancient horrors and unspeakable truths. A gothic tale shaped by the darkness of Clive Barker, the dread of Stephen King, and the abyss of Lovecraftian terror. A post-mortal narrative of memory, reckoning, and the long, unrelenting shadow of abandonment.

Izmir, 1922. As a city falls to flames, a woman holds a stranger's child in her arms and fights to save its life-with nothing but courage and faith. This is the true story of a family that never gave up. From the burning shores of Asia Minor to the snow-covered mountains of World War II, through poverty, war, and exile, Katerina and her grandson walk a path carved by history's wounds. She, a housemaid turned protector of a child not her own. He, a soldier who carried a wounded comrade for hours through the rain. And between them, the women who endured, the children who were born, and the dreams that whispered back to life. A story about people who learned to love with their hands, to fight in silence, and to keep going-with courage and hope.
