She ran from a crown-straight into a storm that chose her. BOOK ONE of The Breath of Aethriel Princess Serétha has spent her life being polished, paraded, and prepared to become a political sacrifice - a sacred "union" meant to bind kingdoms under the gods' gaze. But on the eve of her fate being sealed, Serétha runs. The wilds beyond the palace are not freedom - they are hunger, cruelty, and the kind of darkness stories never warn you about. And Serétha isn't just being hunted by men who believe they own her... she's being pulled toward something she doesn't understand - something old, forbidden, and waking inside her blood. A thief with too much charm. A prince with a devotion sharp enough to cut. A world ruled by gods who do not forgive. Serétha wanted a choice. Now she has one - and it might burn Aethriel to the bone.

Farkas x Dragonborn fan fiction From Farkas's point of view, based on another play-through of mine. Companions quest line and part of main story quest line, mostly cannon compliant but not entirely. 'A wolf mates for life' and the other relationship troubles the beast blood causes. Farkas is not as dumb as everyone thinks. Slow-burn and "damn it, kiss her already!" Also, Vilkas x Lydia And it's a fan fiction, so the only thing I own is my specific version of the Dragonborn, everything else belongs to Bethesda. Some dialogue comes directly from gameplay as well.

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. 🔥

Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss-rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one-not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark. [updates every weekend] [First draft]

Once upon a time, a girl lay down on a very old bed in France. In the usual sort of fairy tale, she'd wake up to find herself kissed by a prince. This is not that sort of fairy tale. Clark Parker wakes up to find she's not Clark Parker anymore-she's Catherine de Medici, Queen of France-and married to King Henry II, who is handsome, exasperating, and holding a dead body the first time they meet. The bed is cursed, the century is wrong, and the only way to stay with Henry... is to keep falling asleep. Court intrigue, time travel, suspiciously vague prophecies from Nostradamus, and one very questionable royal romance or tragedy-Clark must decide whether to wake up... or stay dreaming forever.

When the stakes are high, morals are turned inside out (whether or not you had them in the first place). and when the fight turns from a duty to something personal, will Reina, Aaron, Zanla, and or May rise to test? Who will rise? Who will fall? Who will not give a damn to try at all?

When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.

June Mayari always believed her childhood maladaptive daydreams had simply matured into lucid dreams. Bored with the monotony of her life, she thought her mind was only weaving elaborate stories while she slept. But when her dreams grew too vivid-too real-she began to wonder if something more was at play. After a night of drunken stargazing, June awakens in the body of a feared and envied empress whose every step is shadowed by assassination attempts from dark forces coveting after the throne. She has unwittingly crossed dimensions through astral projection, landing in the perilous world of Elementum Cultivari-a realm ruled by magic cultivators. Now trapped in a life of silk and steel, June must navigate palace intrigue, unravel the mysteries of her reluctant betrothed, General Rhyuu, and conceal the truth of her identity before she's exposed as an imposter. But as conspiracies tighten their grip around the empire, she discovers her arrival is no accident. The threads of fate have bound her to this world far deeper than she ever imagined.

Salt & Black Flags: The Open Horizon The sea remembers. Seventeen-year-old Rowan Ashcroft lives for open water, stolen horizons, and the thrill of pushing just a little too far. Captain of a lean, scarred ship and a crew barely old enough to be called pirates, Rowan believes the sea rewards those bold enough to challenge it. He's wrong. When a reckless theft in Tortuga draws the attention of something ancient beneath the waves, Rowan's crew finds themselves marked by forces older than piracy itself. The wind shifts. The tides pull wrong. Songs drift across the water that no one should hear - and never answer. Caught between freedom and consequence is Maeve Calder, sharp-eyed and steady, whose instincts warn her long before danger shows its face. She trusts the sea only as far as it allows, and she knows some debts can't be outrun. Then there is Elliot Fairwind, a principled sailor who still believes in doing the right thing - even when the world refuses to reward it. As myth bleeds into reality and legends rise from the depths, Elliot must decide how much goodness can survive in a life built on theft and defiance. As sirens stir, old pirate names cast long shadows, and the sea begins to collect what it is owed, the crew is forced to confront a truth no sailor escapes: Freedom always has a cost. Set during the Golden Age of Piracy and steeped in sea mythology, Salt & Black Flags: The Open Horizon is a coming-of-age adventure about choice, loyalty, and the thin line between daring and damnation - where the ocean watches, remembers, and never forgets.
