[2013 Watty Finalist] Thea Gibson lives a normal life. She waitresses at her local bar, pays her bills on time, has a secret crush on Detective Josh Cooper and let's her friend Shae drag her to parties when she'd rather be curled up at home buried in the latest paranormal fantasy. In one night though, her life becomes a paranormal fantasy when she is attacked by Titans and saved by a man claiming to be Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. Hermes tells her she is a reincarnated deity, with latent powers she must remember so she can return the recently escaped Cronos back to Tartarus. Thea refuses to believe such nonsense but with the strange things happening around her, Thea begins to discover that fantasy is more closer to reality than she once thought...

A preview of the story I'm hoping to write based on Tempest and Tide. | | Tropes | | friends > strangers(enemies? at least antagonistic) > lovers | there might be some more steps in there | arranged marriage but not the way you think | slow burn

"We were not built on peace. We were built on madness and lies and chaos. We do this together, peace or not. Easy or not. I will never understand what I did for the Saints to think I deserved you, but I am done questioning." Four months after parting on the Zemini coast Nikolai still hasn't fulfilled his promise, that he'll find a way to be with the girl he loves. Burdened by the weight of his oath, he's almost lost hope until rumors reach him of a wind spirit haunting the Zemini coast. But spirits and Saints don't exist, only green-eyed squallers who steal his heart. But finding her again threatens to draw him into a conspiracy older than Ravka itself, revealing secrets he never dreamed of. ~~~ Tempest and Tide Sequel If you're here before you've read Tempest and Tide go to my page and check out the first story! ~~~ drinking, kidnapping, allusions to sexual assault | nothing spicier than in the grishaverse books | Shadow and Bone + Siege and Storm spoilers

"Don't look so shocked, I'm nothing if not a negotiator," The privateer grins, tapping his chin in a mockery of thought, "Though I do so love exceeding people's expectations, so I suppose a bit of shock is inevitable." ~~~ childhood friends | strangers | lovers (the star crossed kind of course) ~~~ This is only canon for the first Grishaverse series. When I wrote T&T, I hadn't read Six of Crows or King of Scars so there won't be any spoilers. ~~~ Lying never came naturally to Korina. Even after years of friendship with the most cunning boy in Ravka she still hasn't mastered the craft. So after Nikolai left it was only a matter of time before the truth came out. She skipped her Grisha examination thirteen years ago and now they want her back. Now on the run from both the First and Second Army, Korina makes her way to the coast, hoping to flee to Novyi Zem on a merchant vessel. She's close enough to freedom to taste it on the salty air when she makes her first mistake. She gets on the wrong ship. A Pirate's ship. ~~~ If you don't like dramatic irony this story will not be for you. | Prequel to Shadow and Bone. warning ~ talk of sexual assault | nothing spicier than in the grishaverse books | Siege and Storm spoilers ~ obviously lol 27,000 words | fourteen parts | completed
