Fadetoblack Stories

She wanted a less soul-crushing life. She got a demon duke, a cursed contract, and feelings she definitely did not order. Thirty-two-year-old nightshift cleaner Jacqueline Grey is bored, underpaid, and one bad day away from screaming at the museum walls-so of course the one spell she reads out loud in the archives accidentally summons Caramelidict, a devastatingly charming duke from Hell's legal department. Bound together by an ancient Guardian Covenant she doesn't understand, Jacqueline suddenly has a dangerously powerful "guardian" who insists he's here to ease her torment... and the terrifying part is how much being with him finally makes her feel alive. ........ {{{{ I have decided to expand my contest-winning short story into a full length novel. The idea struck me right in the feels and I saw stars while working on my November Novel project (which I have unpublished FOR NOW). I hope you enjoy! }}}

In a world divided into Guides and Sentinels, Joen Jungkook is a C-rank Guide who lived quietly with his grandmother in a peaceful town - until disaster struck, and the Special Forces evacuated survivors to Seoul. Now, Jungkook finds himself in a gleaming, ruthless city where Guides are ranked, bonded, and controlled. He may be physically safe in a state shelter, but surrounded by strangers and protocols, he feels utterly alone - no familiar faces, no comfort, no one who sees him and not just his low rank. His only goal is to survive the system and protect the faint hope of reuniting with what remains of his past. But in a city where connections are monitored, his quiet presence draws unexpected attention from Kim Taehyung, a high-ranking Sentinel known for his icy discipline and sharper intuition. Taehyung isn't supposed to notice a C-rank Guide. Yet he can't ignore the strange resonance Jungkook carries - a calm that shouldn't soothe him, but does. As Jungkook navigates the cold mechanics of Seoul's Guide-Sentinel hierarchy, and Taehyung battles a growing need to shield him from the city's cruelty, neither knows that a deeper threat stirs in the city's underbelly. A mutant creature, born from severed bonds and forgotten science, is awakening - and it feasts on new, fragile connections like theirs. In a place where every bond can be monitored, weaponized, or hunted... the most dangerous thing they might do is reach for one another.

Azira's whole world consisted of being a hero. The daughter of the Dynamic Duo, she was destined to fulfill her role as the dutiful daughter in the Heroes Academy. A world where those with superhuman powers are taught to wield their powers for good and change the world. That is until a villain named Scar enters her life and changes her whole perspective on what it truly means to be the good guy. Scar loves her. And knows she loves him-she just doesn't know that yet herself. But she's about to find out. ~Excerpt~ "Why me?" I asked exasperatedly. "You do all of this for me, and why? For what reason?" "That's where you're still wrong, honey," he said darkly. "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for me. I wanted you, so now you're mine-that's all there is to it. And by being mine, if someone hurts you, they're hurting me. And I am not one to take that disrespect lightly. Do you understand me?" "No." "You will." He knelt next to me, his face hovering over mine, his arms on either side of the machine, caging me beneath his upper body. "I will ruin you-I'll fit you to my mold; I'll take that goody-two-shoes girl you are, and turn her into a force to be reckoned with. One that's mine." I quivered. "All mine." "I..." His proximity had me beyond nervous. My throat constricted as I tried to regain my composure. "Will never be yours." He laughed, his hand caressing my cheek. "You and I both know you already are." *Enemies to lovers (mildly) dark romance* PUBLISHING ALSO ON ROYAL ROAD AS LEELEEACE1

Despite being given everything she could possibly need in life, Désirée Lavoie is struggling to figure out what she wants. Toeing the line between what she thinks she wants and what her parents expect means studying to become a lawyer by day and dating hot-jock, bad-boy Donovan Murdock by night. Things go well until news of the two together at a party reaches her parents. To avoid blowing her cover, Désirée blurts out the only lie she can think of: that she's dating the buttoned-up, parent-approved Matías Cortés. Convincing Matías to date her is easy enough; convincing her parents that he's a suitable match is a trickier class to pass. But her relationship status goes from complicated to hot mess when she finds herself falling for him too. Dating one guy in secret was possible. But keeping two guys secret to different sets of people is more calculus than Désirée's English Major mind can handle. Especially when the two guys meet and turn into bros overnight. The more their friendship grows, the more dangerous Désirée's ruse becomes. Her odds of getting found out increase by the second. If she can't decide between the two boys, she'll end up losing them both. ~ * ~ Update Schedule will be announced once we solidify it. ~ * ~
