Millennial immigrant Ingrid has quasi-settled in Berlin. She's got a place of her own, the beginning of a career and 'a conscience but not a heart,' according to her barkeep best friend with benefits, Remi. Dale is an awkward exchange student, abroad for the first time and powerless to resist Ingrid's charms when a mutual friend introduces them. He gets tangled up with her at the same time as his newfound mentor Oskar confronts Ingrid about the heartbreak she caused him way back when. Trapped between her conscience and her urge to sink her teeth into fresh prey, Ingrid must make a choice.

[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)

For hundreds of years, the fae have been capturing young royals, trapping them in sleeping curses where they wait for a true love's kiss that never comes. Prince Roran of Ki's dream of a solitary, food-filled future is squashed the day the gods declare that he's destined to wake Princess Phillipa of Marden. Their families are elated at the prospect of both of their hopeless children getting a happy ending, but Rory has two not-great problems. First, it's going to be difficult to fall in true love with someone who's stuck in a permanent sleep. And secondly, he has no interest in kissing anyone. Between the sweaty wizards, a Fairy Godmother who gets their advice from Wikihow, and his own asexuality, Rory only knows one thing: this is going to be a mess. (NaNoWriMo 2019 Project.

15-year-old Ori is an average small-town boy. Or so he thought, until a strange circus appears in his backyard. Accepting an acrobat's invitation to join the Cirque de Reverie, he is swept up in a whirlwind of wonder. Unbeknownst to him, the circus is not what it seems, and something dark lurks beneath its golden surface. Before, there are two sisters. When one runs away, the younger girl grapples with the grief and secrets her sister left behind. It is up to her to find a way to save her before it's too late. But in a circus that thrives on magic, mystery, and manipulation, that task might just be monumental. Freedom comes at a cost, and the price is paid by both friends and foes. Can Ori escape what has been set in the stars, or will he be trapped in the circus' snare forever?

Straight up beautiful writing," @moonshinedeer "First, your world building is gorgeous and I need you to teach me how you do it.

Featured | Wattpad Picks 21/09/2018 | LGBTQ+ Arran Redfern is happy being a comparative disappointment. His first love is next in line to become the strongest werewolf in Europe. His mother is widely considered to be both the greatest mind of the 19th century and the most feared woman of the 21st. With his eighteenth birthday nearing and only one more year of school to suffer through, Arran is very much ready to settle into his promising life as a house-husband. Even if he does have to endure the hatred from the supernatural community for daring to be born a vampire. But when Cree dumps him, he finds he's lost even that lack-lustre future. Shunned by a supernatural community that doesn't want his kind, he has no choice but to throw himself into the human world that he hardly dares to join. The lines between worlds are blurring and political power systems are shifting, disrupting the uneasy peace of the past few centuries. As Arran finally starts to find a place for himself it's just as soon threatened by vampire attacks, prejudice and corruption.
