Some moments in life are so profound, they feel like they hold the weight of a lifetime. For DeMar, that moment was the one he chose to confess his deepest feelings to Meera. He had watched her from across the office floor, a quiet infatuation growing into a love so strong it demanded to be spoken. He believed his heart was finally leading him to his destiny. But fate, and his so-called best friend, had other plans. Nika, the quirky and unassuming girl who had always been a constant presence in DeMar's life since joining the firm, had been watching him closely. Beneath her playful smile was a silent longing. When DeMar's moment of truth with Meera didn't go as expected, Nika saw her opportunity. With a cunning mind and a heart driven by obsession, she stepped into the void and began to orchestrate a twisted game of her own. What started as a simple, heartfelt confession spirals into a complicated web of deceit, betrayal, and blackmail. In this game, every player has a secret, every action has a consequence, and the line between love and manipulation is blurred. DeMar will soon learn that a single moment of vulnerability can cost him everything, and he'll be forced to ask himself: Is a fleeting moment of passion worth trading away a lifetime of happiness?

Dirty little secrets like theirs might land them in hell, but how can Gideon end it when his unlikely companion-Marcus- has become the key to his survival? Wherein two men fall headfirst into the forbidden together, and maybe find healing along the way... even if that means sneaking behind his son, and Marcus's best friend's back.

Twenty-two year old Ava Kaiser, the daughter of a washed up, wannabe rock star, is sick to the back teeth with her dad's rock 'n' roll all night, party everyday way of life. She needs real excitement in her life, not college parties with her parents. She's always wanted stability, and protection. And then she meets him. Officer Erich Auer. A German-American policeman, who sets off all the right sparks inside her. Ava is smitten. Erich is everything her dad isn't: Grounded, macho, serious. An alpha male. But her dad, Lonnie, hates nothing more than authority. The police give him speeding tickets, interrupt his happening parties, and give him warnings. Now there's one hot for his only daughter! Lonnie just wants what's best for Ava, and his lifestyle, and that's not law enforcement. Lonnie will fight the law, but... the law has weapons, and he only has guitars. Lonnie knows that Erich will only bring problems into the picture. How can Lonnie smoke pot with a cop in his house? What could his daughter possibly see in him? What if Ava falls head over heels for the officer, and he gets killed on the job? As for Erich, he's used to protocols, rules, and one nightstands. He's a ladies man, but love is a foreign language. He is not scared of love. His job description requires bravery. He was born to protect and serve. And then she came into his life, and taught him that love is the most important protocol. As the two different worlds crash together, one of order, the other of chaos, Erich and Ava realize they're not only falling together, they're taking down her entire family along with them, and they don't even care. With crime running amok in the streets, rockers partying like it's 1999, family drama raging like a storm, can Ava and Officer Erich's forbidden romance blossom into something truly beautiful and unbreakable? Or will Lonnie finally beat the system, and break the lovebirds apart forever?

Elsa was a lonely quiet girl. She was a nerd, and very shy. She didn't have many friends except for her best friend Merida. Elsa was constantly bullied at school, she was also forced to do other students homework. She never complained because they paid her for it, but if their grades dropped at all, they would beat her. Merida kept trying to protect Elsa, but she wouldn't let her, and always told her it was fine and it didn't bother her much. The students started making bets, to see who could make Elsa cry, who would be able to break her. Even though nobody has succeeded they still tried, but people couldn't even make her flinch. No tears left her eyes, she wouldn't try to run away, just stood there and let them beat her, she never fought back or protected herself. Then, one day a new student joined the school. He had windswept silvery white hair, and dark blue eyes. He always wore a mischievous smirk on his face and always played pranks. He was very handsome and quickly became part of the popular squad. One day he saw Elsa getting beaten up, he went to help her but his new best friend Hiccup stopped him. "No, Jack, you cant. Or else they'll target you too." Jack nodded and just stood in the background watching as the other students laughed when they pushed Elsa down. Nobody knew the truth about her. Nobody knew why she went from an outgoing and fun person, to a quiet and emotionless person. If only they knew the truth, then maybe they'd treat her better. In reality, Elsa had a terrible home life. Her father is a jobless, heartless drunk. He beats her daily, and treats her like a maid. She's not allowed to leave the house unless its for school, she cant have friends over, and she's not even allowed to have friends. She has a sister who lives with their mother in a different country, and she is forbidden to speak to or of them. What happens when one day, someone finds out the truth? Can they save her? Or will they leave her to suffer?

"The gods are silent. The surface is ash. And something ancient just opened its eyes underground." Beneath the shattered remains of the old world, survivors live by the light of dying ley-lines and the brutal order of the Guilds. Kaelen Vire, a mercenary with a haunted past, and Rook Dastan, his wolf-blooded companion, expected another job. What they found instead was a child-abandoned, ley-sick, and impossible. The boy shouldn't be alive. He hums with magic that should not exist. And the deeper they go, the more the world bends around him. Now pursued by cult fanatics, hunted by relic-born horrors, and tangled in a prophecy no one remembers writing, Kaelen and Rook must decide: save the child, or survive the world that wants him forgotten. The Stones are stirring. The Ashen Veil is watching. And something lost is calling itself home. Author Note: "It explores identity through queerness, loss, and transformation. The world of Emberdeep and beyond is not safe. It is brutal, beautiful, and dripping with myth made flesh." CONTENT DISCLOSURE: CRIMSON TIDE - THE ASHEN VEIL This story contains mature themes including post-apocalyptic survival, body horror, psychological trauma, cult manipulation, interdimensional war, and the existential burden of inherited power. Viewer discretion is advised for depictions of violence, grief, and magical corruption. This is not a tale of heroes-it is a chronicle of chosen scars and the price of remembering.

(Story for ages 18 and up) Kai Maximov and Angel Dust have been neighbors-literally across the hall from each other-for two years. And to say they don't get along? That's putting it mildly. Kai, Hell's top hitwoman, is quiet, reserved, and deadly serious-unless someone pisses her off, in which case she can get dangerously unhinged. Angel, on the other hand, is loud, shameless, and perpetually surrounded by men, constantly harassing Kai for his own amusement. So what happens when Angel is dragged back to the Hazbin Hotel-and Kai, unwillingly, has to follow him-forcing them to spend time together? Can Kai survive the chaos of Angel's world while hiding the dark, violent past that landed her in Hell? And can Angel handle the secrets, the scars, and the hidden strength of the one neighbor he never thought he'd care about... until he starts feeling something he's never felt before? A story about enemies, unexpected connections, and a romance that's as chaotic as it is darkly funny. (There's a bit of a Bendy and the Ink Machine crossover here, for Kai's backstory. I own none of the characters aside from Kai Maximov.)

"F-Fuuuuck!~ Slow down you a-asshole!" Pomni screams as Jax thrusts in and out of her rapidly, giving no time for her to breath. He feels his body getting tense, then with one deep thrust, he buries himself to the hilt, spilling his hot, creamy seed inside of her. Pomni screams as she feels the warmness of his load filling her to the brim. His lips meet hers in a fierce, possessive kiss, muffling her moans. "You're mine..." Jax murmurs against her lips. The newbie meets the Grand Champ of the Fight Club! Though, she has this suspicion about him that makes her want to stay away from him. They remain enemies for weeks! Until, something completely unexpected happened! Would you like to find out?... WARNING: May contain sensitive content like NSFW, sexual actions and more... This story is all about the "Fight Club AU" originally in Twitter made by @burrotello (Original characters from @Gooseworx)

(It is highly recommended to read "Alterra: Foreign Eden" before this, as certain characters and events may carry over or be mentioned in passing.) The gateway to Caelum remains open, and Alterra Robotics continues its silent colonization of the other world. This time, in the intellectual city-state of Thasselia. Here, androids do more than serve. They teach, research, theorize, and dream. Among them stands Theresa Hypatia, a coldly rational synthetic built for science, now struggling to understand something no experiment can explain: how to be a mother. Sakuta, Alterra's top android inspector (and unofficial magnet for emotionally complex android women), is reassigned to Thasselia to oversee Prometheus Institute-a prestigious college where ethics, engineering, and artificial emotions collide in increasingly absurd ways. He's supposed to monitor Android stability. Instead, he's navigating bizarre dream sequences, awkward dorm room politics, and a faculty full of robots with too much personality. As theories clash with faith, and logic gives way to longing, Sakuta and Theresa must ask themselves: what defines humanity in a world where the perfect replica can believe, doubt, and love? (Content Warning: May contain swearing, suggestive imagery, graphic description of violence, and AI-generated images.)
