Dark/Gaslamp Fantasy. Character-Driven, Atmospheric, Mythic Horror Camilia has spent her life on the margins of the Sanctuary, a hidden stronghold carved into the heart of Harem's Hill and guarded by ancient rites older than the Empire itself. When the Inscriptum, living Writs of the Emperor's will, descend on her people, the Sanctuary falls in a single night, leaving Camilia trapped underground with a dying leader, a handful of survivors, and a voice in the darkness that has been watching her for years.

It was common for children of the Egyptian gods to die--- not that Heba Badran knew that. On her sweet-sixteen, Heba's god-blood gets her killed and she's transported to the underworld. Her heart is weighed to determine if she's a threat to mortals and gods... but the scales indicate she's wavering between damnation and salvation. Heba's sent to a limbo halfway house to balance between chaos and order, or face Ammit's Second Death. But between the lines of the afterlife there are horrors that feed off pain, and soon a monster, known as a heart-eater, invades the halfway house to claim her broken heart. With a 'lucky-cat' daughter of Bastet, a shy son of Ra, and a socially brain-dead son of Set at her side, Heba must learn to protect herself and find her way home. But can she balance her soul with the Egyptian feather of Ma'at (truth and order) before she is consumed by the power under her skin? **FIRST DRAFT** + SHORT CHAPTERS + INCLUDES DIGITAL DRAWINGS + POLLS AFTER EVERY CHAPTER + WEEKLY UPDATES Follow the story in real time. 👻✌️💀

[𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃 | 𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆} ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── [𝐌𝐌] 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 Asa Davies is barely keeping his head above water. A single father living in a rundown complex with his nine-year-old son, Maizen, he's desperate to give his boy a better life - even if it means doing things he never imagined. When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind. Asa can't stand Jordan's cold, self-assured attitude, and Jordan's own walls make him dislike everyone around him. But when desperation meets opportunity, an unexpected arrangement could be the solution to both their problems... if they can survive each other long enough to make it work.

They were perfect. Untouchable. Inseparable. Lavish parties, lake houses, effortless wealth, but behind closed doors, the illusion crumbles. Secrets fester, addiction hides in plain sight, mania spirals dangerously, and love strikes when it's least expected. In a world obsessed with reputation and appearances, perfection is a trap. Sometimes the only way forward is to let the glass break, and hope the light can get in. // Callum Hayes was always the quiet type, never speaking unless necessary. Instead he watches, calculating, controlled, carrying a legacy that was chosen for him long before he could say no. He wore his silence like armour, his shadow as a second skin. But when it came to her, the weight of it all softened, the darkness easing just enough to let the light she carried reach him. Isla Mercer was raised to be perfect. To be kind, to be composed. She was careful, feeling too deeply and thinking too much, carrying other people's expectations like they were her own. She learned how to hold herself together even when everything around her felt fragile. Until he showed her that some people don't want perfection from her, only honesty. // Isla let out a slow breath, her gaze fixed somewhere past him. "Maybe this is how it was always going to go," she muttered. "Maybe I'm just not meant for good things, maybe it's just fate." "I don't believe in fate," he whispered, "I believe in you." // Tropes: -Friends to lovers -Found family -Coming of age -Rich society -He fell first -Quiet yearning -One bed -Slow burn -"It's always been you" -Miscommunication -Absent parents (And so much more) // #1 in friendship goals 11-1-26 #3 in selfdestruction 3-1-26 #4 in ya 9-1-26

Opal Mailo has a plan: climb the corporate ladder, perfect her appearance, and finally belong in the elite world of high finance. Fixing her teeth is next on her list. Dr. Apollo Merrill is the orthodontist she's paying to make it happen. He's a sunbeam in a white coat--kind, maddeningly unreadable, and far too observant. He notices the things no one else does, sees past her careful polish, and looks at her in a way that feels a little too personal. As Opal's teeth straighten, the rest of her life begins to unravel. The burnout is blinding. The pull towards Apollo is inconvenient. The "perfect" version of herself is starting to look like a stranger. Caught between who she's becoming and who she's always been, Opal begins to wonder if perfection is worth the cost--and if maybe she doesn't need to be flawless to be worthy of love.

In the shadow of the Tsar, a Jewish woman's body is a battlefield and her silence is a slow death; in the Pale of Settlement, her mind is the only crime scene they cannot reach. In the sodden, gray streets of 1890s Chernigov/Chernihiv, the air tastes of coal smoke, damp earth, and state-sanctioned terror. For Aviva Osherov, the Pale is more than a border on a map-it is a chokehold. Caught in a double-bind of historical shadows, she survives by navigating a world where her intellect is viewed as a corruption of her faith and her very identity is a crime against the Russian Crown. In a land where the law is written in bruises and the sky is a pale witness to the slaughter, Aviva hides the sharp edges of her thoughts behind downcast eyes and heavy wool. But beyond the shtetl walls, the Empire is waking up, and it is hungry. The mud of the Ukraine frontier is thick with the scent of wood smoke and the cold, metallic promise of Cossack steel. When the Tsar's bugle cries out from the distant ridge, the fragile peace of her village shatters, leaving Aviva to face a reality where blood is cheap and sanctuary is a myth. As she is drawn into a dangerous world of secret knowledge and a forbidden connection with Nikolai-a man who represents the very power that seeks to destroy her-Aviva must learn that some cages are made of stone, and others are woven from the threads of history itself. [MATURE: A gritty, realistic exploration of life in the Russian Empire. Contains visceral depictions of state-sanctioned violence, anti-Semitic persecution, and the raw struggle for survival.
