Catina never had a reason to hate her strange appearance. Her golden hair and deep brown eyes- eyes that could be mistaken for red- had never caused her any misfortune. Until one night, the great conqueror arrived- a man who wanted the world for himself and would stop at nothing until it bowed at his feet. Catina's appearance fits that of his tribe's Goddess and he knows that she is the reincarnation of "Mikabellum." Taken suddenly from her home, and cast onto the high podium of deity, Catina finds that the world of richness and beauty is not all as it seems. Her mind soon revolves around a single thought- "think like a goddess." Copyright © 2019 world_joy_ all rights reserved.

I draw the people I hate at school. I hear the gossip, I hear the lies but I draw what my own eyes see. And I see the embarrassing, devastating, beautiful secrets my peers all try to hide. I have quite the collection of their paradoxes; a sketchbook full of costumes and lies... Until the most popular boy, and my most hated, happens upon my misplaced book of secrets. ***** Alys is a wallflower. She is faceless, voiceless... and she is free. Being nothing more than an ever-shifting shadow is an art she mastered long ago. It's one that allows her to sketch the oblivious people around; drawing their true lives without ever being seen. The art within her pages is extraordinary; Alys' hands having the ability to create perfect renditions of the world around. HER version of the world. Yet her fingers tighten upon each pencil; the dark remnants of her past still haunting her. So, she hides her true ability behind a quiet wallflower's eyes. No one must see, no one must know. For her past is all SHE knows. Within her school there is another student she despises the most; a wolf hidden amongst a flock of sheep. Hayden; the boy loved and adored by those around him. Hayden; the monster who secretly hated them all. She never wanted to meet him. She never wanted to have to interact with ANY of them, but that all changed when her friend is accused of a crime she did not commit in a flurry of senior pranks gone wrong. In the chaos Alys faces afterwards, she accidentally leaves her condemning book behind. Who else would find it but Mr. Popular; the devil who fakes it all? Hayden has found the most interesting obstacle, a girl who can see anyone for what they truly are- even him. And with art so beautiful, so breathtaking... so dangerous, he entices Alys with a proposition she can't refuse. She would be his puppet, to do as he bid, and he would help her get her revenge... his revenge. And in what better form than a mural at graduation? One that might not be as it seemed.

"Destiny is interesting," he said, looking up at the stars. "Some beings like to rely on a god or deity, feeling free from the responsibility of deciding love and the future of their lives. Others would rather decide everything, running away from things that ground them as they hop from one fleeting feeling to the next." "And what about you?" Geoff asked, looking at him shyly. "I always chose my own destiny," he told him. "I chose to live my life based on the things that I felt were right." Those eyes finally looked at him, his face as serious as could be. They locked in with his, leaving Geoff breathless with their power. "And," he continued. "Right now, I choose you." Adventure is always just around the corner, as easy as the wind blowing him towards his next destination with a mixture of the past and present, all is well for Geoff. The chaotic is normal, and a challenge is always thirsted for in his life. But when life throws him another curve ball, now Geoff's in for the test of a lifetime as his next mission is greater than any tamer known to man. A life or death situation leaves him with a beast that he wasn't expecting, and a problem with the world and everything he knew. If that wasn't hard enough, life decided to throw in a test of his heart as well. And he was a sucker for a good looking man. When the past and present collide, can Geoff handle the future that he could be destined for? * BOOK #2 OF THE TAMER SERIES! UPDATES EVERY WEDNESDAY

✘ Updates every second Friday! ✘ // Where dating apps and the process of falling in love meets (sugar) daddy kinks, BDSM and just a lot of aggressive, dirty sex // Way too many sex-less months have gone by in Levi's life, and this makes him even crankier than usual... or at least that's Hange's theory. So she decides to be helpful and creates a dating app profile in his name. "I'm very gay, very short and very angry. But don't let that scare you off, because I have a big and splendid cock and rumor has it that I'm at least decent in bed, which honestly is more than you can expect from most people nowadays~ Btw I'm also too old and cranky to try dating apps myself so I might be unaware for now of that my fabulous friend manages this thing for me!" Eren's face shifted into one of amused interest as he read the short and very odd bio. ... Intrigued, he swiped right. ✘ Also available at Archive of our own ✘

Demosthenes is king. A role that comes with responsibility, a palace, a kingdom and an ego the size of of it all. It takes little more than a miracle to raise his interest in anything, let alone anyone. Elpis, a humble fisherman and women's son, really has no intentions of searching for more than silver coins inside the walls of Euphranor, but when, completely by the accident, the Moirai saw the two happen upon each other, he is drafted into a world that is so far from his own, by a man who's soul is much darker than his own.

Pale, inhumanly fast, unparalleled reflexes and even better senses, Vampires were well known in the supernatural worlds as they took their place amongst the Apex predators. Though most of them were sophisticated creatures, identified by whom and what they fed on, there were some rather unique individuals considered as a rarity. Blood bound them all but some vampires longed for a forbidden pleasure, a dark desire and thirst of the blood of the rarest creature known to their kin. The blood of a Deprived. Creating a Deprived was forbidden, the punishment for such an offence was a painful and drawn out death. To create a Deprived, a vampire needed to reject its mate, knowing that the rejection would alter and change the bodies of their Beloved and doom them to the life of a bloodslave. Yet somehow, that is exactly what happened to Jesse.
