    He made her coffee every morning. He picked up their son from school. He loved her like it was the only thing he knew how to do. She had him framed for crimes that didn't exist. He is Aditya Deshmukh: betrayed by his wife, hated by his son, wronged by the system, loved by an obsessive woman. She loved him even after knowing he loved another woman. She loved him so much that she pushed him into the jaws of death. She wished him dead and now that he's dead, she'll do anything to get him justice. She is Medha Gehlot: the woman who was never chosen by the man who was her everything. Note: This is for readers who loved The Count of Monte Cristo. For readers who want a revenge story that asks whether one must become a monster himself to defeat the monsters responsible for the rot in the whole world. For readers tired of perfect heroines - who want flawed, obsessive, impulsive female leads who have the heart to go into the depths of hell for love but lack the maturity and wisdom to choose letting go. Content note: contains prison violence, institutional injustice, and emotional devastation. You've been warned."

    After the events of The Cruel Prince, by Holly Black, the throne of Elfhame is no longer the greatest challenge Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar must face. Their marriage-equal parts devotion and destruction-has survived lies, power, and war. But this is different. This is fragile. Permanent. Jude welcomes it for what it might become-something fierce enough to steady even them. Cardan fears it for what it might reveal-every doubt he has ever buried beneath charm and cruelty. Because crowns can be taken. Kingdoms can fall. But this? This asks something else entirely. So they say nothing. Not to the court, not to their allies-not even to those who pride themselves on knowing everything that passes within Elfhame. Instead, they guard it closely, tucked between sharp words and quieter moments, learning its shape in secret while the world carries on unaware. There are whispers in Elfhame-old ones, the kind that slip through court like smoke and cling to things better left unnamed. Of gifts that are not gifts. Of beginnings that come with their own quiet bargains. And though neither of them speaks it aloud, they can both feel it: something is changing. And it is not waiting for either of them to be ready.

    A Fictional Memoir of the tradition of a woman playing Peter Pan, which helped me think through my Gender. This NeroQueer Retellung is appropriate for readers 10 and up, because kids have the RIGHT to read Queer Literature! Since an "Actress" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Trigger Waning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that calls Indigenous People "Red." I have thoughts... Credit for the Fairy Genders goes to J.M. Barrie My portrayal of Tiger Lily is Anti-Colonial Through a Disability Justice lens. To Sondra Lee, who played Tiger Lily, and saved my life To Lerisssa Fasthorse, who justly restored my lost dignity To Adolph Green, who taught me what makes a monter and what makes a man, is complicated To Jerome Robbins, who challenged my intellect and morality And of course to Mary Martin, who taught me about the "Unusal things you can do"

    [New chapters all Tuesdays and Saturdays] A BOLD REIMAGINING OF MARY SHELLEY'S TIMELESS CLASSIC. Victor Frankenstein is a visionary AI developer whose language models have always served the greater good. But his latest obsession threatens to undo everything. Driven by the god-like ambition to spark life within a machine, Victor defies his supervisors to secretly develop a "perfect" being-a pinnacle of artificial evolution. However, perfection is not what he expected. His creation shows no interest in his own unlimited power, captivated instead by the simple wonders of the world. Frustrated and ashamed by what he perceives as a glitch, Victor abandons his work after failing to "fix" the humanoid. But the creature, now calling himself Frankie, is no one's puppet. As the rift between creator and creation deepens, Frankie makes a drastic choice-one that carries irreversible consequences for Victor and all of humanity. It is a decision that could lead to total destruction or finally break the chains of their greatest prison. [This novel was translated by the author. I appreciate your understanding regarding any minor translation quirks as I bring this story to a global audience.]

    Prepare to embark on an exhilarating and daring escapade through the mystical realm of Oz, in this thrilling sequel to my previous adaptation of the enchanting book by L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In The Marvelous Ozma of Oz, the fearless Dorothy Gale sets foot once more in the captivating Land of Oz, only to discover a realm in disarray, far from the way she remembered it. No longer is the King Scarecrow seated upon the throne, for it has been usurped by the malevolent Nome Queen and the cunning Princess Mombi. These devious rulers not only hold the land captive but also conceal the true heiress to the throne of Oz, the rightful Princess Ozma. Stand alongside Dorothy as she forges alliances with both familiar faces and newfound companions, embarking on a quest to liberate Ozma and the entire land of Oz from the clutches of these tyrannical monarchs. Brace yourself for an odyssey filled with peril and valor, where courage and friendship shall be tested in the face of overwhelming adversity. *** Loosely based on the second and third books in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" (1904) and "Ozma of Oz" (1907). In this adaption, I have merged the characters of Mombi from "The Marvelous Land of Oz" with Princess Langwidere from "Ozma of Oz," echoing the creative fusion of that character seen in the Return to Oz (1985). The character of the Nome King from Ozma of Oz has been infused with General Jinjur from the Marvelous Land of Oz, and reimagined as the Nome Queen. Princess Mombi also takes some of Jinjur's traits. Many other changes to characters and events from the books can be seen throughout my adaption as well.

    Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign: the women of the city and gold from its treasury. Having set up camp just beyond the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy. As the Grand Prince deliberates, his boyars both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and old rituals alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls. Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now betrothed to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive and quick-thinking kinsman, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge. ──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ──────── A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; gods both kind and cunning; and tragedy aplenty.

    Lucy MacLean was prepared for many things in the wasteland: Radroaches, Raiders, even the occasional Ghoul. She was not prepared for a quantum anomaly to drop her 30,000 feet above a Chicago that wasn't a crater. Detained by the Global Defense Agency and labeled a "Class-V" threat, Lucy quickly discovers that the strange hum in her blood isn't radiation-it's inheritance. Born to a mother who was a Viltrumite infiltrator, Lucy is a hybrid powerhouse in a world already teetering on the edge of a superhero-sized cliff. When she meets Mark Grayson, a rookie hero struggling with his own alien legacy, the spark is instant. But as Lucy trades her 10mm rounds for super-speed and her Pip-Boy starts tracking Viltrumite gene sequences, she realizes that "finding her family" might mean fighting the very empire she was born to serve. In this alternate-universe retelling of Invincible, two hybrids must decide if they are destined to be conquerors, or if they can forge a new home among the ruins.

    ** Behind the Sea of Mists of Avalon, more than just one destiny changes in a single night... ** Once, Uther and Igraine Pendragon ruled over Albion-a realm united by love, magic, and the ancient faith. But in a single night of blood and betrayal, the Golden Age falls. Only two children are said to have escaped the bloody assassination: Arthur and Arianna Pendragon. But their trail was lost in the mists of Avalon-and with it, the legacy of the dragon. The dragon is dead. Long live the king. Years later, Albion is a land of shadows. The Crusades have left behind blood and famine; magic is forbidden, and the old religion is persecuted with fire and sword. *** After Robin has exposed her in the most shameful way, Marian seeks a new path outside the walls of Huntingdon and far from Robin of Locksley: under the name Ahren, as a squire in the service of the legendary Silver Knight, Sir Lancelot, she hopes to finally find the long-awaited freedom in Bamburgh. Simon, another squire, soon suspects, however, that there is more to the clumsy newcomer than meets the eye. When Ahren is finally abducted to Avalon under cover of night, the first events begin to unfold that will ultimately change not only the fate of Simon and Ahren, but also that of all of Albion forever. For the land needs more than heroes: it needs hope. And sometimes, hope begins with a whisper... ***** Volume 2 of the A BALLAD OF HEROES SERIES
