Love comes in many forms. Speaking about it, imagining it, and melting at the mere prospect of it can leave you giddy with its richness. But defining it, expressing or experiencing it - that's a different game. Elijah - the heir to the throne of Yandestine - is about to play the game, with no knowledge of the rules or boundaries. A game that involves the clashing of naked bodies, the shadows of truth and tears constantly dancing and delving in blood; a beautiful bridge between lust and love. A game that cunningly turns into a battle between gory promises of justice and the painful quivers of breaking hearts, much too quickly. No one will come out the same. Not even you.

*Wattys Winner 2022* Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger. Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy.

Forest Edwards is always running. Either literally, because of his dog, Fletch; running to escape his tiring work life; or, well, running away from the possibilities of love. But when Natalie Dayholt, together with her dog, Bailey, waltzed into his life on a Saturday morning, Forest soon realised that love wasn't something he wanted to run away from any longer. But loving her proved to be difficult, because Natalie seemed to take a step away from him every time he took one forward. ----- [NOVEL : ongoing] started: 12/12/19 best rankings: #94 in friendship #9 in dog #1 in animal shelter

9412 is a Different, she's a mistake. She accepts it because she's told to. But when she catches a glimpse beyond her home's barrier, she starts doubting what she's been told... "...but I am a box full of misfit toys, and even I keep finding ones I've forgotten about." A 'scientific mistake', Differents are anything but perfect and spend their life trying to change who they are to be Normal. No one disagrees, no one falters, because if you do, you're never seen again. 9412, a girl of seventeen, never questioned her life but always wondered what it would be like if she hadn't had a genetic mutation, causing her to be as she is. Where would she go? Where would she live? And looking out over the vast expanse in which her home is situated, the most unnerving question of all: What else is here? dif·fer·ent /ˈdif(ə)rənt/ adjective not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality Copyright © 2020 by @mel10rism First place in "POC Winners" of the Diverse Awards (April 2021) Winner in the WattOriginals 2020 Awards (November 2020) Second place in SCI-FI of the Watt in the World Awards (September 2020) Second place in SCI-FI of the Creator's Choice Awards (July 2020) 2 in #SHAWROCKETPRIZE (May 2020) 2 in #FLAWED (May 2020) 3 in #FLAWS (May 2020) #theaceawards2020 ----- Started April 2020 Finished December 2020 All chapters published February 2021
