Rescued by a hunter, he molds himself into one of the best warriors of Cascadia. Impressed, the queen gives him a direct order to kill a traitor to the kingdom: the crowned prince, Dove. As a reward, he is offered a potion that would bring back his lover from the dead. Despite being the sole heir, Dove has been relegated to the role of a servant by his stepmother. Neil could not bring himself to complete the task when their paths crossed. So, they join forces, facing challenging quests to collect seven items required to make the potion. The only catch? They need to do so before the last shard of the mystical glass painting falls, as the potion would then expire. As the clock ticks, Neil is left to make a choice. Will he betray the young prince and become the hero of the kingdom, or try to complete an impossible task with the risk of facing a lifetime of cruelty in the dungeons? ________________ Second draft editing was done with the help of @eacomiskey.

A cozy fantasy-with teeth. Born a hybrid in a world that fears difference, 15-year-old Malora finds her haven in the fires of the forge and the science of potions. But when she earns a coveted spot at Vargrath Academy, she trades the quiet solitude of her village for a cutthroat world of merit-based competition. Navigating the complex social landscape of Vargrath proves even more challenging than mastering her dual disciplines. As Malora struggles to find her place, will she discover that true strength lies not in victory, but in forging unexpected friendships and breaking down the barriers that divide?

Fennrin is a shadowforger, a type of az-ari who have mastery over shadows. But all it's ever brought him is misery. People are afraid of the power that he himself barely understands, seeing his shadows as omens of bad luck and death. Forced to barely scrape by since his parents disowned him, Fennrin's life takes a turn when he is approached by Ainreth, a lightweaver and famous general, asking him to come with him to the royal court to be trained and help him stave off an assassin who's made an attempt on Ain's life, somehow able to counteract his powers. Even though Fennrin is suspicious of Ainreth's flirting and his arrogant attitude, Fennrin decides to go with him because his life can't get much worse. Thrust into a world of politics and power, Fennrin quickly learns just why shadowforgers are so infamous and how strong he could become, while, much to his chagrin, starting to fall for Ainreth. However, unwelcome feelings are only the start of his problems as the neighboring, tyrannical monarchy is preparing for war. And if Fennrin wants to survive, he will have to fight it.

[COMPLETE] A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator... NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the day she finally turns her life around. That is, until she meets... AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, for a demon, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade. But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human. Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.

Hamburg, 1960. Willa and Elsie March are on the run, and they find safety at the Bambi Kino in the red light district of Hamburg with five cocky, sometimes maddening, usually drunk, and bloody talented boys--the Beatles. Willa has never met anyone quite like John Lennon. He's everything she didn't know she'd been missing. "I thought about John, about our interactions and our late-night chats. He was without a doubt intense, and most definitely moody. He made me feel so many things--confused, annoyed, relieved, comfortable, content, and bloody irritated--but not nervous." And there's more to Elsie's relationship with Paul McCartney than she's willing to admit. This is their story filled with trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope, and the Beatles. ** Achievements 2025 Grand Winner - Fanficiton Category (The Nano Watt Awards) ** •Part One: 1960 (Chp 0 - Chp 17) Started: March 5, 2023 Completed: June 27, 2023 •Part Two: 1961 (Chp 18 - Chp 36) Started: Sept 24, 2023 Completed: June 16, 2024 •Part Three: 1962 (Chp 37 - Chp 53) Started: Sept 29, 2024 Completed: March 23, 2025 ** Thank you so much to the amazing @strange_daisies for creating the cover! ** [Just Like] Starting Over is a work of fiction.

Monsters created during an unsurvivable cycle called the Sleeping Sickness, which would last for the length of time it took for only those born during that fateful era to grow up. There was no promise ANYONE could survive such an event. Nor was there ever any oral account as to how it might happen. Only a promise their Great Spirit would give them a sign. 𓅣 Enter Investigative Journalist and War Correspondent, Nathan O'Connor Sr. While covering a story for the WHO in Ethiopia he stumbles upon a dark plot originating in secret medical bio-labs that had the power to wipe out humanity, and runs concurrent with a Hopi prophecy predicting this event. Gathering as much information as possible, he took his findings to WHO HQ in Switzerland. He just never imagined his hard work would never see the light of day.
