The only way to break the curse... is to kill the one you love. Alyenna was stolen from Earth and dragged into Tendaara, the world from her favorite book series: a land of living magic, ancient creatures, and impossible power. The Storm General, Baellnar Aethorien, is a hurricane given elven form. A master swordsman, a relentless menace, and an enthusiastic supporter of terrible puns. He finds Aly's arrival far more entertaining than he definitely should. He insists she was brought there for a reason. That there is more to her than she could ever know. For Aly every new companion hides a dark and questionable past. Every step forward pulls her deeper into a war she does not understand. Yet somehow, Tendaara is still safer than where she came from. Aethorien misses nothing. Not the bruises hidden beneath her denial. Not the strength she refuses to acknowledge. And certainly not the dangerous creature she is becoming. Where others see a broken girl, he sees steel waiting to be forged. A weapon that could save Tendaara. Unfortunately for Baellnar Aethorien, every lesson draws them closer. Every touch burns hotter than it should. And the woman he is training to save the world is rapidly becoming the one person capable of destroying him. Because lurking in the shadows is the Shifter Queen, a creature capable of wearing the face of the person you trust most. One mistaken touch. One moment of hesitation. One drop of blood. That is all it takes. The curse twists love into obsession, devotion into violence, and leaves only one command: Kill the one you love. Baellnar knows exactly what the curse will make him become. So before the Crimson Queen can claim him, he will teach Aly how to survive him.

Heyo! Carven here. A while back, I watched The Ancient Magus Bride last episode in Subbed version. Before the English version came out, I've been playing how they would sound in English. Now I heard. So I'm going to do a few chapters about Elias and Chise. This fanfiction takes place during episode 24 after Chise puts Joseph to sleep and afterwards but with MY OWN DUBBED VERSION before they aired it. This is also my first attempt at a lemon story. Or smut or whatever you call it. Anyway. I hope I made it to your liking.

When Anna May is kidnapped by a handsome, shapeshifting Dragon Prince, she'll have to decide if accepting him as her mate is worth never seeing her family again. ***** After returning home from studying abroad, twenty-five-year-old Anna May is kidnapped from her South Asian village by Prince Raiden, a gorgeous shapeshifting Dragon Prince that's been appearing in her dreams. Trapped in his underwater kingdom, Raiden claims she's his mate, but Anna wants nothing to do with him -- especially since becoming his Queen means never returning home. But can she deny the way he makes her feel when he holds her against his body, or leans in to cup her cheeks, kissing her everywhere but her lips? And are those feelings worth her family, her reputation, and the risk of starting a war? [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]
