When he's hired by Lila Morgan, to find her fiance Damien Clarke, who's disappeared into the shadows of the powerful elite, he quickly realizes that this case is more than it seems. Lila is stunning, intelligent, and dangerously elusive. But beneath her cold, calculated exterior lies a woman trapped in a world of manipulation and deceit. As Gabriel digs deeper into her life, he uncovers a dangerous web of lies, betrayal, and dark secrets-secrets that could destroy them both.

10 years after the fall of Camelot at the hands of Morgan le Fay, a de-aged Merlin sets off on a quest to locate the lost heir to the throne, Arthur, after he'd cast a spell rendering him untraceable. Seeing a vision of the future, Merlin must find four boys with promise of being Arthur and train them to take a shot at pulling Uther Pendragon's blade and reclaiming their birthright. Which one of them will be the Once and Future King? ..... This is my first ever attempt at publishing a personal project online. Due to the insistence from people in my life, I've decided to do it here lol. If I do it here, it's safer for me. It's based on Arthurian Legend. Please let me know what you think! (Art by me)

The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

🍀1st Place at the 2025 Four Leafed Clover Awards🍀 "What do I hunger for..." The existence of Shades are as old as history. Soul-eating entities with skin as black as ink and a presence as cold as ice. They don't have an end goal, their only purpose: To steal, kill, destroy and most of all, to Consume. One of these Shades meets Dawn, a shy, noble girl that's still coping the loss of her father, who died three years prior. In a last second decision, the Shade possesses her umbrella. All the while, making a vow, to not just watch over her as she enters a new school, but also to protect her from the rest of his species. --- What to expect: - A character focused story with a cast you'll grow to love. (Or absolutely hate) - Grim, dark moments, balanced out by comforting and cozy moments. - A story that takes place in a Medieval London-esque world that's expanded on as the story progresses.

The powerful have bottled it, priced it, and called it holy. Every flicker, every breath, must be paid for in Lumen. Lucy Farrow was born in the Gloom, where the air tastes of rust and hope is a dangerous thing. Her mother taught her to keep her glow low - to survive unseen. But when the light inside her begins to stir, Lucy's secret could unravel the order that keeps their divided city alive. High above, in the marble halls of the Halo, Prince Cassian Soleyne uncovers a secret among ink and dust - a forbidden lineage that could unmake the order he was born to protect. His duty is to snuff it out: his heart tells him to save it. As rebellion brews in the dark and doubt kindles in the light, their paths will cross - and together they will awaken a fire long thought dead. A Radiant who could bring back the dawn... or burn the world to ash. ⸻ ✧ ⸻ His guest merely nodded sharply. "Until next time, mister Briar". With that, he turned and marched toward the door - his colleagues followed him close behind. Lucy could hear their footsteps fade away and relief washed over her. As soon as it did, the lanterns of the chandelier rattled softly - the Lumen danced for a split second, as if celebrating. But that was enough. The agents abruptly turned around, having seen the shadows on the floor - slowly, they aimed their emotionless gazes skyward, staring at the chandelier. "Tell me, mister Briar", the captain spoke, his eyes still fixated upon the lamps, "Does your Lumen always malfunction like this?" The Lantern Man tapped with a finger on the desk. "As a matter of fact, sir - yes, it does. It's still an old batch: it flickers all the time. I ought to get it replaced soon".

Snow White didn't understand. Why had he done it? Why had he saved her? She knew he hated her. He had hated her from the very first day of classes... So why had he risked his life for hers? Why was he looking at her that way? And why couldn't her stupid heart slow down? He reached over and tucked her dripping hair behind her ear, and she felt her face flush red. He was too close, and her head wasn't working properly... It's the first day back at the Royal Academy and Princess Snow White has a vision of something terrible that will destroy everything she loves. With only a few clues, she must team up with an unexpected group to face mythical creatures, uncover conspiracies and find a way to save everyone before it's too late... It's a modern retelling of classic fairy tales with a twist.
