༺♰༻ She had travelled far and wide, through lands that reeked of iron and incense, where saints bled and sinners prayed. She had warred with angels and supped with devils, her blade wet with mercy and vengeance alike. She had watched kingdoms crawl gasping from the womb, only to be cradled by the wrong kings, crowned by unworthy hands. She had seen men die with her name fumbling from their lips, a final breath wasted on a woman made of storm and bone. She had known cruelty so intimately it had become her second skin and now, somehow, she was beginning to know love. It frightened her. It softened her. Perhaps that was why it felt like dying. Maybe, she thought, she'd choose love anyway. Reciprocity- it all came down to that in the end, Karasteinna supposed. Love was not conquest nor surrender, not giver nor receiver but the trembling place between. As with lovers: when it is right, you cannot say who is kissing whom or whose soul is devouring the other. You only know that you are both burning and for once, neither of you minds. the last kingdom finan x oc season 2 - ??? smut warning

COBRA KAI AU Amara Belovuk and Feng "Wolf" Xiao grew up side by side, bonded by shared hurt and fierce devotion. Amara survived abuse outside her home; Wolf came from an abusive household until the Belovuks found and took him in. Under Amara's father, the founder of the Iron Dragons, they trained in his art. Karate became their anchor and the language of their love. Their talent and relentlessness made them undefeated. Still kids, they shocked the world by winning the Sekai Taikai as the youngest champions in the sport's history, with Amara rising into one of its most respected, adored fighters. But the Belovuks' finances were always strained. To help at home, Amara and Wolf entered illegal underground rings. Terry Silver, who had noticed them after their Sekai Taikai win, never expecting them to go underground, watched, amazed by their raw talent. He offered resources they couldn't refuse, became their Sensei, and honed them into merciless ruthless fighters. Years later, one night shattered everything: Wolf fled, leaving Amara heartbroken; that same night, her father died, taking the last of her stability. Grief dragged her into a spiral. Months after, John Kreese arrived in Hong Kong to recruit Silver for his dojo war. Silver seized the chance and moved Amara to America, pulling her into the All Valley karate war. There, his mentorship curdled into manipulation and abuse, as he tried to sever her final ties to the Iron Dragons. After a year in the All Valley, fate threw Wolf back into her life. He returns older, steadier, and still hers, vowing never to leave again. Amara hides Silver's abuse from those she loves while she and Wolf fight their way toward the next Sekai Taikai. This is a story of irrevocable and hopeless love. Of Amara reclaiming her legacy, returning home to the Iron Dragons, and seeking to make history once more at the Sekai Taikai with a third world championship victory.

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. And Rose Sorrengail has spent her entire life making sure she will be neither. Born strong where her twin sister Violet was fragile, Rose is a force forged in fire-bold, brutal, and unrelenting. While Violet stumbles unwillingly into the Riders Quadrant, Rose charges forward, determined to carve out her own legend within Basgiath War College. But surviving Conscription Day is just the beginning. In a world where strength is currency and dragons don't bond with the weak, Rose quickly becomes known-for her precision, her ruthlessness... and the trail of blood left in her wake. Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away. With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers. In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive. And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.
