Life can change within a matter of seconds. A single moment can bring your biggest tragedy or greatest accomplishment-it isn't always something we get to choose. One moment you might be swearing off love, and in the next beat "the one" enters the chat. One moment you could be living without a care in the world and the next...you find yourself buried under a burden you never agreed to carry. And sometimes, when that burden becomes too heavy, the universe offers relief in the form of human sunshine. And for Annie, Brendan, and his cat named Kimchi, one ordinary moment is the beginning of everything.

Enter a disenchanted future of London-- escape to the enchanted past. Wren and historian Ali find a spell that takes them to the Victorian Era, which is better and worse than their expectations. They'll encounter magical orders, secret societies, and royal families. In a quest to rediscover magic in the past to somehow save their dystopian future their journey continues as love, loss, and magic systems open themselves to them. Magics explored: Hermetic Pentagram Magic, Astrology, Onmyōdō, Mesmerism, Cabala, Planetary Pentacles, Cunning work and much more! While certain liberties (the imaging of magic, the conclusions about the Death of King George III) are invented or exaggerated, but I've based about as much of this as I can on real historical facts! (Ali would be proud.)

Prince Leoric Menethil was never meant to wear the crown. He would be the first to say it. His fate was to live under the shadow of his older brother, Arthas Menethil, and eventually break his desk with the mountain of paperwork. The most he risked was a paper cut. However, as the world turned dark and cold, Leoric had to risk much more. He would do his best to save the people of Lordaeron. His way, while the golden prince might be crushed under his responsibility and his fiery righteousness. Will he succeed and secure a new future for the people who need it most? Perhaps he will just end up being the prince who ran? This fanfic is set during the events of the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos story. It will follow the main plotline with divergences and new additions. There's going to be a romantic subplot for our character, and it might not be who you think ;) Fun fact! There will be several original characters who will represent characters I had in World of Warcraft. I always loved to add extra backstory for RP reasons, and what better way to commemorate them than to give them a space to live? Expect possible gore, brutality, foul language, tragedy, sensitive topics, and occasional smut. This goes for the whole story. If this goes well, I do not rule out a possible sequel. The cover was made by me in Canva. Please remember that English is not my first language.

Shortlisted in Muse Awards. "He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.

Kagami Arata Amateru is a cheerful, energetic 14-year-old boy who lives a simple life traveling and trading with his grandpa Genzo. Everything changes when they are attacked by the infamous vile shinobi Kurogane, a former Sōke turned rogue. A mysterious, powerful shinobi named Jinsei (the "Unavoidable Step") saves them and reveals that Kagami has been hunted since birth because of a dangerous hidden power inside him. Jinsei brings Kagami and Genzo to Takayama, a powerful shinobi alliance and institute that serves as a beacon of peace and strength in Tsukikure. At Takayama, Kagami begins his life as a Shoshin (new student). He meets Rein Hoshiko Amateru (a determined girl from the same distant clan), the laid-back but talented pervert prodigy Takumi, and the strict but caring Giin Aiyame. As Kagami trains hard (learning Shunpō, Mizugumo, Shadow Projection, and refining his Hikari Dama Kyōka), he discovers the weight of his secret: he is connected to the ancient god Izanagi. This makes him a target for the shadowy organization led by Kuromaku. Meanwhile, a mysterious white-haired boy named Shirō (an Itsunagi with powerful Shiryōken) enters Kagami's life as a rival and eventual complicated teammate. Other key figures include the quiet wolf-like Tsubaki, the gentle medical shinobi Iroha, and the complex leadership of Takayama (Gichō Shūen Mizuhara, Masatora, etc.). The story blends action, training arcs, emotional drama, light romance (Kagami & Rein), and rising political/shinobi threats. It has strong rivalries, tragic backstories, and a rich world with clans (Amateru, Itsunagi, Raiketsu), kami's, and forbidden powers.

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me, and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

Book Description 📖 Some faces are remembered by time itself. Hazel Singhania comes to Duskwood chasing a future she earned with blood, sweat, and sleepless nights. A medical student. A believer in forever love. A girl certain she has lived only one life. But Duskwood watches her like it knows her. Strangers stare as if she is a memory resurrected. Some offer protection she never asked for. Some carry a hatred they cannot explain. And some look at her like she is the reason they once lost everything. She has no past she can remember. No secrets she is hiding. No reason to be feared-or desired. So why does her presence awaken something ancient? Why does love feel familiar... and danger feels inevitable? Because some loves are reborn. And some curses never die. ~Tropes Expect the unexpected... " You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me..."

Sometimes, the word "ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑜" is just a prettier title for a caged weapon.

She is dropped in a foreign court alongside four other strangers, each pulled from unfinished lives and futures. Jason Calloway is a bonafide flirt who lives and breathes the gym. If you ask him? Strength can answer all life's problems. He's strength made human, literally, but even the strongest people have limits. William James prefers the solace of reading and drawings to help him cope with daily life. After all, books don't talk back. Quiet, observant, and often overlooked, he sees more than he says; speaking up only when logic gets involved. If social media had a queen, it'd be Vivian Sterling. Fashion and screens are her ride or die as she lives to create that "𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒" wherever she goes. Until now...when that curated picture cracks. And then there's Alex Mercer. Charming. Effortless. Impossible not to like. The kind of Golden Boy whose smile can hide a hundred secrets. He knows that there is a fine line between manipulation and charm. The only difference between the two? One tastes sweet. The other? It 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 sweet. Together, they are declared heroes. A world on the brink of collapse claims it had no choice. Demons press against weakening seals. Ancient protections fail. And those in power mask theft as fate. But the summoned are not grateful. As grief hardens into anger and fragile alliances form, the summoned heroes choose to play nice learning the world and its ways...for the moment. Whether they continue to choose that option remains to be seen. But the one thing they'll learn? Being chosen doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a resource. And Cassandra Vale never agreed to be merciful.
