    When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉." Parts 1-2-3 of the Reaper's Pet trilogy

    She was born without a wolf. In a world where that meant weakness... she became something far more dangerous. Hailey was never meant to survive. Left at the border as a baby. Raised by warriors instead of family. Fighting for a place in a pack that never truly claimed her. No wolf. No bond. No future written in fate. So she carved her own. Blade by blade. Scar by scar. Battle by battle. She became a protector. A fighter. A weapon. Until the night everything changed. A rogue attack. Blood on her hands. And a bond that should not exist. Because when fate finally finds her... it doesn't come gently. It comes as four. Four Alpha heirs from rival bloodlines. Four wolves bound to the ancient kingdoms of Ice, Forest, Storm, and Desert. Four men powerful enough to rule and dangerous enough to destroy. They feel her before she understands them. They claim her before she can run. And they will not let her go. But Hailey is not the girl they think she is. Because something has been hidden from her. Something buried deep in her blood. Something powerful enough to shift the balance of every pack. A prophecy long forgotten is awakening. One female born of all four ancient lineages. One who will either unite the wolves... or tear them apart. Now the hunt has begun. Enemies are watching. Allies are lying. And the truth about who and what Hailey really is could change everything. But the greatest danger may not be the war rising around her... It may be the bond pulling her closer to four Alphas she doesn't trust and can't resist. She spent her life fighting to survive alone. Now four Alphas are willing to burn the world to claim her. The only question is Will she choose them or destroy them first?

    Five hundred years ago, the world decided the Hydro Archon Egeria was dead. She wasn't. Now, under the name Lora, she walks Teyvat again with a single objective: to overturn the future that was forced onto her people. The Heavenly Principles wrote a prophecy. Fontaine is meant to drown. The gods are meant to obey. Lora doesn't. Every move matters. Archons, the Abyss, Celestia-everyone is playing their part, all trying to control the board. And Lora? She's already placing her pieces. Passing the throne to Focalors was only the opening move. Because this time, she isn't fighting fate head-on- she's playing for checkmate. No chosen-one nonsense. Just a former god who intends to win-before the heavens realize the game is already lost.

    Disclaimer: This is an AU Warhammer with some lore details that are heavily inspired by @Sagas1023 story. ______________________________ It was the 31st Millennium. Mankind faced one of the bloodiest wars ever witnessed not only by the galaxy, but by the universe itself. For tens of thousands of years, humanity had lived in what many believed to be a perpetual utopia, a golden age born from technological wonders beyond the imagination of lesser civilizations. Alongside their ancient allies and former rivals, they built a vast alliance that spanned the entire galaxy and reached heights that seemed impossible. But even such a civilization was not eternal. From beyond the known dimensions came an unknown and endless race of abominations that consumed every corner in the universe. One by one, stars went dark, galaxies were reduced to nothing and entire civilizations that had lived for millions of years were wiped away. After 100 years of desperate war, the surviving remnants of humanity and their allies made one final attempt to escape extinction. Using a device forged from the combined genius of human and xeno technology, they tore open reality itself and fled from the tendrils of the Great Blight that unraveled creation itself. But an incident happened. Instead of merely crossing into another universe, the refugee ship was thrown through infinite dimensions until it arrived in a new multiverse, one whose laws and systems were completely foreign to them.

    "You... love him?" Ash's voice cracked. Serena looked away, guilt flashing across her face. "Ash... you've always been kind, and you've always tried your best. But... you're not strong enough. You're always chasing your dream, but never reaching it. I... I can't keep waiting." Those words stabbed deeper than any blade. Pikachu growled in anger, but Ash put a trembling hand on his partner to stop him. "I thought..." Ash whispered, his voice shaking. "I thought we were in this together." Serena bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry, Ash. But I need someone who's already strong... someone who can protect me, who can actually stand at the top. You're still just... dreaming." Her words echoed like poison in his ears. Ash turned away, his eyes burning, but no tears fell. Not yet. That night, as he left Lumiose City behind, his heart had hardened. For the first time in his life, Ash didn't just want to be the very best-he needed to be. Not for fun, not for adventure, not even for his friends. He wanted to prove Serena wrong. He wanted revenge. And so began his journey-not as the boy chasing dreams, but as the man who would crush them. His eyes set on the Pokémon Masters Tournament, the first one to ever occur, the place where only the strongest survived, the place where the strongest will be born. This time, Ash swore he wouldn't lose. This time, he would stand at the top. And when he did... Serena would see what she had thrown away.

    He has lived too long to care. Across centuries of war, power, exile, and bloodshed, Y/N has worn every role history could offer-beast, king, scholar, executioner. He has buried empires and clawed himself out of graves. Nothing remains of him now but endurance. And emptiness. In the modern world, he hides in plain sight as a reclusive twenty-four-year-old investing prodigy, co-owner of a corporate empire alongside the only person he considers family-Sol, the sister he once chose and saved. Humanity believes he is brilliant. They have no idea he is a monster. When Sol agrees to a reality program that forces a rising idol group to move into their penthouse, Y/N is dragged unwillingly into the spotlight. Cameras. Red carpets. Manufactured smiles. A house suddenly filled with human life. He despises it. The noise. The attention. The fragile, beating hearts moving freely through his home. Yet among the four idols now living under his roof, one unsettles him. She is entirely human. Entirely ordinary. And somehow, she draws his attention in a way centuries of war never have. There is no prophecy. No ancient bond. No hidden destiny tying them together. Only something far more dangerous- Choice. The existence of vampires-and the ancient war that once shattered his former family-remains buried in secrecy. Humanity will never know the battles fought in their shadows. But the past does not stay buried forever. An ancient vampire he once called kin-once trusted beyond reason-has resurfaced. A being tied to the destruction of everything Y/N once belonged to. The war that ended millennia ago may not be over after all. Now Y/N must navigate two worlds at once: One glittering and public. One violent and hidden. And as an old enemy rises in the dark, something equally destabilizing awakens within him. For the first time in centuries, eternity no longer feels like a burden. It feels like something that could be lost.

    "They're incestuous aliens, Duncan. Blood-magickers and tyrants who've burned our lands, enslaved our people, dragged us into their wars without a mote of respect for our history or our customs. Every pale-haired brat they saddled on us has been madder than the last, gods know how...and everyone knows about Aerion and his cousin." Aerion Targaryen is the perfect definition of a Targaryen: breathtakingly beautiful, powerful but above all, driven by an unyielding fire that borders on pure madness. In his heart, there is room for only one person: his cousin, Aelerys. As the third child of Rhaegel Targaryen, Aelerys was forced to move to Summerhall in an attempt to cure her father's madness. It was there that she met Aerion, who soon developed a dark, suffocating obsession with her, one so intense that it ended up infecting her too. Because of this, rumors began to spread throughout Westeros, though everyone within the castle walls refused to believe them. From the day she met her cousin, Aelerys's life turned into a nightmare. It wasn't because of Aerion's love but due to a strange curse she knew nothing about, a curse that killed everyone she loved. Their love is doomed, dark and morbidly twisted. Bound by an obsession so deep, they will make dangerous enemies who will do anything to separate them.

    Isaac Night has cheated death once again, but the price was exorbitant. Along with him and Selena, a curse dormant for four centuries has returned from the grave, hungering to finish what it started.

    ​"I hate you," she sobbed, her voice breaking. "I hate you so much!" ​"Then prove it," Veer whispered, a single tear finally escaping his eye. "Kill me." ​Rashi closed her eyes, a guttural scream of agony tearing from her throat, and pulled the trigger. ​THUD-BOOM. ​The gunshot echoed across the Jaisalmer skyline like a clap of thunder. ​Veer's body jolted. His grip on her hand loosened, his fingers sliding off hers as his knees buckled. He crashed to the floor, his head hitting the stone with a hollow thud. A pool of crimson began to spread, staining the moonlight-silvered floor.

    THE RUNE MAGE: THE SILENCE OF STONE I The world does not change. The sea still breaks upon the same shore. The wind still passes between the same stones. Life... goes on as though nothing has happened. Morveth is one of the few who notices. And that realization becomes a question. What if death is not what people believe it to be? A plunder. A missing object. A captive man. And a fractured truth. Morveth's search will carry him beyond the kingdoms... to the places where maps fall silent. Because in this world... Knowledge never reveals the whole. Power cannot save. Identity is never fixed. And some doors... were never meant to be opened- only to be found by mistake. ⸻ ✨ VÁRHEIMR is the epic of Morveth's journey as he follows the scattered traces of a fractured truth, becomes the first great Rune Mage in history, drifts ever farther from his humanity, and ultimately stands as a silent threshold between life and death, the surface and the deep, humanity and truth.
