||2022 WATTYS WINNER|| A scholar boy who denies the existence of elemental magic. A hidden princess who can control all seven elements. A mystical quill capable of rewriting both of their destinies. In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**

**** Top Pick, 2023 Amby Awards **** **** HighFantasy Book of the Month, June 2023 **** To save the world, Mage Aria sacrificed herself, becoming trapped with the personification of Darkness within an impenetrable tomb of rock and magic. But she had not realized how much of a hell that would be. Dreams of deep despair haunted Tomas, a blacksmith with no apparent magic, where a wounded soul cried out from her torment, begging for mercy. Heartbroken for the dreamer, he sets out on an uncertain quest to free her. But there were those in power who did not want the dreamer freed, lest it also released the Darkness. Further, the link between Tomas and the dreamer was a kind of Darkness itself, one that would make him a fugitive in his own land.

Adrian Gonzalez knows the painful truth about liking someone you have no chance with-they never like you back and you're left heartbroken. Ever wonder why it's called a 'crush?' But when the hopeless crush he has is on Parker Thompson-nonbinary school heartthrob with an impeccable fashion sense-he can't help but wish things would turn out differently. Staring at Parker from two seats behind in Biology is fine, and praying he doesn't get a boner when Parker jogs ahead of him in gym class is less fine- -but neither are as satisfying as he wishes they were. A class group chat is all it takes to intertwine Adrian's and Parker's lives. And one impulsive, stupid, never-wish-I-typed-it reply is the turning point for Adrian's love story. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ☆Featured on @WattpadSocialMedia DM me reading list ☆Featured on @YARomance Friendzone Doesn't Exist reading list ☆ONC 2021 Longlist Ambassadors Pick ☆ONC 2021 Shortlist ☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention Based on Prompt 73 Started: 5th February 2021

Enter a world where mysteries both wondrous and horrific mingle with the mundane and everyday drudgery of our modern nights. Our stage is Phoenix, Arizona. A new city where Vampires, the damned children of the now mythic Caine, conspire against and even kill one another for rulership of the night. One such faction, the Camarilla, employs specialized teams with a simple duty: infiltrate and destroy the opposition. The newest team is a duo: Jessie, and her sire Ian Kaiser. Yet this latest assignment will prove their most challenging yet. For their target is another member of the Camarilla. And he is not just some bureaucrat, rabble-rouser, or a corporate tool like they are used to. He is an old soldier and statesman, whose experience and power far outstrips their own. All the while, the survivors of their previous purges now plot with unseen forces to obtain revenge. For we mortal readers, their struggle is an epic of conspiracy and violence. For them, it is but another night, in their World of Darkness. (Author's Note: This story is "fan fiction" in that it takes place in the "World of Darkness" setting. All lore pertaining to organizations, history, and general world-building belongs to the IP's owners and publishers. (Paradox Interactive, Modiphius Entertainment, and all relevant/additional entities). But the characters, in both their personal history, appearance, and personality are all original creations. P.S. This story makes use of the ONC2021 prompt #6: Your job is to track down vigilantes and infiltrate their groups, with the aim of gathering information and turning them into the authorities. You're successful at your job, until one day, a group of vigilantes changes everything.

This collection of fanfiction features flights of fancy: some lightly erotic, some humorous. There's even a bit of PWP thrown in the mix, although all the stories, in their own way, deal with things left unsaid.
