In a universe where myth and reality intertwine, The Beginning of an End follows Asmodeus, the demon of lust and desire, whose centuries of decadence and detachment are disrupted when Loki, the Norse trickster god, breaks into Hell. Their meeting-accidental, fated, or divine mischief-sets off a chain of events that threatens the balance between all realms: Heaven, Hell, and Asgard. Loki arrives bearing a prophecy: that he and Asmodeus are destined to ignite the apocalypse. Torn between disbelief and fascination, Asmodeus lets the trickster live, a decision that slowly erodes the order of Hell. What begins as suspicion and rivalry between two beings of chaos turns into an unlikely bond-a connection that blurs the lines between friendship, defiance, and forbidden affection. Think Good Omens meets Lucifer meets American Gods but darker, queerer, and much more sarcastic. ****I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com****

When 14-year-old Mariah Knoxwood claims immaculate conception as the reason for her pregnancy instead of admitting she doesn't know who sexually assaulted her while blacked out, she's surprised to see just how willing her Catholic small town is to believe her cover story. Throughout her pregnancy, Mariah is forced to confront the complicated and strained nature of her relationship with her own mother, as well as reflect on the various examples of motherhood she's witnessed within her community. Trigger warnings for pregnancy and birth, (offscreen) sexual assault, discussions of abortion and stillbirth, child abuse, alcoholism, and ambiguous suicide

"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.

The knife kissed his throat-cold and very precise. ❝Don't move,❞ Morgana's voice said behind him. ❝Not a muscle.❞ Sage froze. He felt her breath at his nape, warm against the blade's promise.She knew exactly where to place a blade. ❝How did you get out of your room?❞ he asked calmly. ❝Step forward.❞ He obeyed. She guided him through the narrow corridor, backing him against stone, trapping him there. The knife pressed closer now-close enough to hurt. ❝Drop your sword.❞ It hit the floor. ❝You're going to get me out,❞ she said. ❝Out of your reach. I don't care where you send me-as long as I never have to see Procris Saxon again.❞ Sage smiled faintly. ❝And why would I do that?❞ The blade bit, just barely. ❝Because if you don't,❞ she said, ❝I finish what I started.❞ Silence coiled between them. Then Sage moved. In a breath, the knife was his. Her back met stone. His forearm blocked her escape, the blade resting beneath her jaw. ❝You bastard,❞ she hissed. ❝Careful,❞ Sage said softly. ❝Any movement, and this becomes... unfortunate.❞ Her pulse fluttered wildly beneath the knife. He felt it. She knew he did. ❝Do it,❞she said. ❝You've wanted to since the day we met.❞ Sage leaned closer,Their eyes locked. ❝Tell me,❞.he said slowly , dangerously,.❝why I shouldn't.❞ *** Power is never inherited cleanly.
