Falling in love with a dishevelled young nobleman who is leaving the kingdom seems like a piece of foolishness that will only break his heart. It took hard work and determination for Pip to survive.

ONGOING (UPDATING ONCE/TWICE A WEEK- MAINLY ON TUESDAYS) ************* "Brotherhood. Masculinity. Youth: The Epitome of a John Dandy Boy." **************** Bay'Vion Copeland has been playing it safe for most of his life, all while being miserable under his godsister's control as her personal slave and expendable toy. And as long as he could remember, his plans for a future were as bleak as Kenya's venomous words could be poisonous to his psyche. And when he loses his parents and unborn sibling are killed in a car crash, Vion had a feeling that his time was soon coming to an end. But then came the announcement for him to live with his mother's sister and her husband in the coastal town of Stonehaven Pointe where he would soon catch the eye of the John Dandy Boys Club, the all male mentoring group that is the crown jewel of Trotter's Ridge High School and the town itself. "Kenya doesn't believe that I'm capable of being one of those guys. But Aunt Mona and Uncle Donnie believe in me and wants me to branch out. So does Principal Fordham and Vice-Principal Talbot. Even my newfound friends here at Trotter's Ridge think that I have potential. The question is, however, remains unanswered: Can I do this? Can I actually be a John Dandy Boy?" Vion has a lot of unanswered questions in his head, but he knows that sometimes you have to play the most dangerous game of wonders to get the life you want. And once he decides to join the John Dandy Boys Club, he knows that his junior year of high school will be one that will be unforgettable for a very long time. Gentle reader, these boys are the crown jewel of Stonehaven Pointe...and they want YOU! You'll never forget the first time reading a story full of sensual passions, forbidden fantasies, and supernatural wonders. Come along with Vion as he discovers these things and so much more in the journey of his life where things are never as they seem!

Kiera had a seemingly perfect life until the death of her mother. She figured things couldn't get any worse until someone in her circle violates her in a most heinous way. In her struggle to come to terms with things, Kiera and her dad relocate to the town of Berkton where they could possibly have a new start. After never having a boyfriend, she meets Lance who is very sweet to her and a spice added to her life. Her issues cause her to act in not-so-great ways but will she realize he isn't the same as the ones she left behind before it's too late? *New chapter every Monday*

The King is dead! Long live the ........? The king has died, but despite his multiple marriages and mistresses, he has never sired a son. So the crown should go to his eldest daughter, right? Wrong! The newly proclaimed Queen Regent must locate and marry the first eligible male with a claim to the throne before her 21st birthday, which happens to be in seven days. Failure will result in the Kingdom falling into a Civil War with those who wish to put an end to the monarchy once and for all. ONC 2024 Prompts 99: The Royal Family needs a male heir to the throne, and they're willing to accept any boy, even if he's born to their least-hinged relative. 21: A Dragon, an Elf and Dwarf embark on a quest to find the lost heir to the Kingdom. This is very much a first draft and is my first go at the ONC.
