In 1826, in the country of Lwendolen, the elite Quad family stands as the upper crust and cream of society. The daughter, Valerie, is engaged to a man with a name attached to success and fortune, but her older brother Henry is mentally unstable and a failure and that is unacceptable to their father. Valerie's fiance seems like a charming man but behind that mask is another man who only cares about himself and the Quad fortune. What role will he play in the Quad family's life? On top of that, something else is working behind the scenes here. In the middle of the winter, the Quads' hidden past will soon be unearthed through murder and deceit, staining the snow crimson. ~There is no success without failure, but a Failure will never succeed.~ (Dark human drama and satire. Omniscient lit-fic.) Trigger Warning: there are scenes of domestic violence, physical abuse, opium addiction, depression, and lots of murders. I won't turn you away, but you have been warned. There is ZERO smut.

In the year 3062, every child is given a job the day that they're born that they must carry out from the age of fourteen until the end of their lives. Emma Wolfe, a fifteen year old girl from Arkansas, is one of only twenty people chosen to be writers in the entire country. The only problem? Emma hates writing. -------------------------- I shoot up, dropping my pizza back into the box. "Why does nobody listen when I tell them I can't! I'm not who you think I am, and I never will be." I try to storm away, steam practically shooting out of my ears. "Where are you going?" Black calls after me. I don't reply. "How are you supposed to get home without the car?" I stop short, every muscle in my body tightening. Slowly, I turn back around, my hands balled tightly into fists. "If you say one more thing about my writing while I'm here, I swear to god I'll run away." "Em-" "Test it out," I walk right up to her, getting so close that I can feel her tense breath on my face. "I dare you." Black isn't stupid, and neither am I. ------ COVER MADE BY @SO_MANY_OCS GO FOLLOW THEM I LITERALLY LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Following the murder of his species' ruler, riots make blood and suffering become Vishnear's daily life. He desires nothing more than peace for his people. The priest's life takes a turn, however, when the primordial deities elect him to be the next leader. They grant him godlike powers, and his people expect him to use them. The problem is he can't summon them-not without complications. Fearing failure, he elicits help from a god, Sytrix, who promises to reveal his true potential. But he finds more questions than answers when a feisty Wikev is captured. Yet, through everything, what Vishnear fears the most is not the threat of war, the awakening of the lost deities, or the budding, forbidden attraction between him and the female Wikev. It's the secret hiding beneath his skin. ***** First draft, so not refined yet. Started as myth shorts (hence strange beginning chapters). Constructive feedback appreciated, especially in chapters beyond chapter 3.

Klade stares at the sky with pensive eyes. The clouds have dispersed to give way to the stars. He can now contemplate this nocturnal veil, since always filled with mysteries and subject to the craziest rumors. One of them, in particular, has been consuming him for a long time. Because he knows the truth. He knows what lies behind the myths. He knows why, 500 years ago, the Capricorn constellation has disappeared from the celestial world. Or at least he thought he knew it. Because she was there. In front of him. The Capricorn constellation is a woman. And the first thing she did when she opened her eyes for the first time was to try to kill him... IMPORTANT UPDATE : New rewrite in progress. Chapters currently up to date : - Prologue - Chapter 1, part 1 and 2/2 - Chapter 2, part 1 and 2/2 - Chapter 3, part 1 and 2/2 Cover by @JoeCornuaille
