"The Raven" tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". Cover by @Lujayna

Abducted in the middle of the night to be sold for a high price, a demon you never anticipated comes to your rescue... but at a cost. ♥Complete as of 2/ 21/ 23 ♥All art used in the story is my own, so please do not use without my consent!

The wolf didn't come to protect her anymore. He came to claim what fate had already decided was his. Elowen thought the creature at the edge of her property was only a strange kind of guardian-silent, watchful, almost gentle in the way he lingered in the tree line as if protecting her from something she couldn't name. Until the night he finally moved. Rain-dark air turns electric with instinct as those golden eyes burn with something feral and starving, and the distance between them shatters in a heartbeat. What follows isn't an attack, not truly-it's nature unleashed, a bond demanding to be sealed in the only language the beast understands. Elowen was never being hunted. She was being chosen. In the cold earth of the forest, fear and surrender blur together as something ancient awakens between them-teeth, hunger, heat, and a connection that feels less like violence and more like destiny snapping into place. And when the darkness takes her, Elowen understands one impossible truth: This wolf was never just a wolf. He has been waiting for her. And once the bond is made, it cannot be undone. Because whatever he is... he has marked her as his.

Willow was a survivor long before she touched the stars. She survived the woods, the Men who hunted her, and the crushing isolation of the world she left behind. Now, the Librarian is a Ghost no more. On the sulfur-choked surface of Malakor and within the cold, sterile walls of the Lab, Willow has been stripped, tested, and transformed. She has seen the face of a Rival Elder who views her as a parasite, and she has felt the sting of a world that wants her silenced. She is no longer just a shadow-she is a Witness to the ancient, bloody laws of the Yautja. The Grendel King didn't just bring her to his world; he brought her into his orbit. He is a Mountain of obsidian and ancient fury, a ruler who demands silence and commands blood. He has stood between Willow and the monsters of both their kinds, but his protection comes with a price. The tether has been pulled tight. The "Weight of the Claim" is heavy, and on Yautja Prime, there is no such thing as a choice. As the King's enemies gather and the court of Elders watches for a single moment of weakness, Willow must decide: will she remain the fragile Spark the King protects, or will she become the fire that burns his enemies to ash? The Mountain does not stand for just anyone. But once the Claim is made, the stars themselves will have to move to break it.

A demon from the depth of the hell and an innocent girl🥀 A monster whose strength depends on human blood and a girl with the rarest and sweetest blood🥀 Love from different worlds🥀 ____^^__^^________^^___^^_________^^_________^^_______^^_____^^__^^____^^_______^^________^^________________^^_____________◇ She lit the candles around the statue under the wings and backed away. She took a deep breath then started saying the divine words to break the curse on him. Her voice is sweet and soothing as she spoke. Suddenly, strong winds hit and blew out the candles and threw her back so she fell back on the ground. She grunted softly and looked up to see what happened, to find that the statue started to move and the stones started to break away from the underneath body. Her eyes widened. The demon growled angrily as he started moving, his real body is breaking the stones and showing his true skin, a gray skin, but not the same color of stones, lighter. His eyes were completely dark black as he moved his wings to break the rest of the curse on him. His body is getting even bigger and more musclar than the statue was. She froze, unable to move from the fear she felt. It was almost the most frightening moment in her life. The demon was panting heavily as he turned to look at her. He seemed angry. Suddenly, he growled in deep scary voice: "You humans, you lowly beings!"

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

The further she walked, the more distant the light seemed, retreating as if it were leading her somewhere. Then... Crunch. Something beneath her boot. Not snow. Not a twig. Glass She crouched, shining her flashlight over the snow. Scattered shards of a strange, dark material reflected the light in such an odd way. Then she saw it. Wreckage. Shattered fragments, twisted metal, snapped branches, all evidence of something that had crashed, hidden just out of sight. Her breath stopped. A sizzling noise. She turned sharply, watching in horror as a hatch on the wreckage began to open. Metal twisted into shapes that didn't belong. Branches broken. Snow disturbed. Her breath caught. A hiss. She turned sharply, watching as a hatch on the wreckage slowly opened. Something was inside. ~*~ Artwork is credited to the original artists. There will be song recs. ***

A princess awakens from a nightmare only to find that it wasn't just a dream. Though her hand had been promised to the one who could prove victory over all other's in their quest; her champion wasn't quite what she had in mind. But perhaps being married to the one who has rightfully claimed her as his prize won't be so bad after all. A short one off story that I wrote while being inspired by a picture I saw on deviant art. (I can't post it here, or I will get flagged. But you can click on the link in the description.) It is only one chapter, and has nothing to do with my other story, Bride of the Dragon King. https://www.deviantart.com/shimeri/art/Long-Tongue-619508684
