Can British magick be saved? Hell yes.
Imagine modern Britain without magick.
No fae enclaves. No flying chairs. No magick wands. Giddy gods, no unicorns.
Who wants to live in that world?
Me neither. But with magick on the decline, that's the world we're ending up with.
Meet the Society for Magickal Heritage. Our boss is a disembodied voice. Our headquarters is a sentient house. You could say we've a vested interest in keeping magick alive.
Can a ragtag bunch of magicians, necromancers and fae prevail against inevitable ruin and decline?
Hell yes. Try and stop us.
First mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that's decimating Britain's troll enclaves - and fix it. Simple.
Or... maybe not. For the only place that might hold the information we need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale...

A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way.

Well, don't I always do the figging honourable thing? The question is, which one of them is? When my heart is no longer my own... COMPLETE COPYRIGHT HAS BEEN PURCHASED FOR THIS BOOK.

Cursed (mxm)
I was made to serve him. I was made to heed his every beck and call. I was dutiful, obedient, proud of my servitude regardless of what the others thought of me. He was powerful, and he made me powerful, too. It was honorable to be his right hand, to be able to execute his orders to perfection. I thought I had done well in this position. Had anyone asked I would have sworn I exceeded all expectations and fulfilled every request without hesitation or error. I had become an expert in anticipation, of knowing my Master better than I knew myself. So why did he give me away? How could he cast me aside so easily? Was I really so replaceable, so meaningless? He had made me for himself, hadn't he? What other purpose could I possibly have? How was I meant to serve him by serving someone else? -This story has mature themes and depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore, etc. Please read at your own discretion- Highest rankings thanks to all of you wonderful readers! : #2 in "Servitude" #3 in "Servant" #22 in "ManxMan"

Another Chance: Summoning the British Isles
Torn from there former reality, the entirety of the British isles finds itself spotlighted on a world where different points in time have been intertwined with fantastical elements, from regular seeming humans being capable to hold a mystical power between there palms, to kingdoms that hold similar comparisons to there own nations historical achievements, this world holds no punches when it comes to nostalgia being corrupted by the magics of this world. Eventually, the people of the British isles must come to terms of there situation, they are no longer on Earth and must find new ways in adapting to there new situation amidst the overgrowing challenges such as the lack of the overall consumer goods and energy imports that they used to take for granted back on Earth. Yet the British isles shall prevail, and with it a new order may rise that can easily destroy whatever status quo that had been or whatever may stand in the way of the two new emerging nations. The United Kingdom and Ireland, once both of these nations had a strained relationship at best, but now in this new world, the two shall sooner or later patch up old wounds and put a stop to whatever tries to reopen or create anymore wounds for there respective countrymen. Eventually this New World shall bow down to the British isles as a powerful and benevolent leader in global affairs, giving the British isles one last chance to gain glory and praise on a global level. (Along with that, this world apparently has no creativity when it comes to naming itself, as "New World", just seems odd, maybe a word similar to Earth was to much for the people of these lands, even if they are capable of creating magical nukes). NOTICE: THIS WORK IS A FANFICTION OF THE ORIGINAL "SUMMONING JAPAN", WHICH INSTEAD FOLLOWS THE BRITISH ISLES AS THE MAIN PROTAGANIST NATION. ALL CREDITS GO TO THE OG CREATOR OF SUMMONING JAPAN IN WHICH I GIVE THEM LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAISE. PS: I HOPE THEY FINISH THE GRA VALKAN ARC SOON.
A Swing in the Park
It was the summer of 1976 when my father left us. It was a particularly memorable summer and my mother suffered terribly. My father had left her for a younger woman and moved into her apartment which was above a flower shop where she worked. My mother struggled making ends meet and got a job as a nursing assistant at Peaceful Haven, an old folks home that still exists although it is very badly run down now. Because she could not afford a baby sitter, my mother took me to work where I sat in the lounge and watched TV and read books. On her lunch breaks she took me across the street to Faulkner Park where she made out with Fred while I wandered around eating my sandwich. But I quickly grew bored. I was 8 then, a bright young girl with an active imagination. I imagined doors in the sandbox, swings into the sky, doors to another world. And in the rooms of the old lost souls were more doors only waiting to be opened. I took those souls with me on my adventures and eased their loneliness and age with my contagious eagerness to believe anything. And then a terrible thing happened to me, so terrible I could not speak of it. I was in hospital, unable to believe anymore and my old friends came to visit me and to believe for me. I am 30 now, and as I write this and look back I wonder if I still believe. And yes, I do. Believing got me through that summer and believing got my father to come home again.Complete
The Last Knights of Cambria Book 1: Echoes of Gideon
Gideon Saint is dying for something exciting to happen in his life. With his love of history, he figures an internship at the museum has to be a good start, right? Anything is better than listening to his parents argue or sitting alone in his room doing research no one but him seems to care about. A chance encounter with a magical ring leaves him transported to an alternate version of ancient Wales, or as it was sometimes called, Cambria. 1432 Wales, to be exact. Here magic is the most powerful weapon of all as kings vie for power. Good thing Gideon's teleportation from the present has also left him with the ability to use magic, and he's quickly regarded as a powerful wizard. In this timeline, Wales maintained it's independence, but that's about to change. Henry V is on the throne of the England, and the greatest warrior king England has ever had has set his sights on Wales. Can Gideon help save his newfound friends and master his new powers, while living a double life in the 21st century? Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is here and he's awesome despite being the main antagonist, everybody is vaguely gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Basically, think of this as a Percy Jackson type of adventure, but it's historical fiction instead of Greek gods. The narrator is 15 and the major supporting characters are 14, 17, and 19. That said, there's nothing in the way of content that's inappropriate for a younger reader. As always if you're not here to go on a fun little adventure find a different story. Trigger/Content: very mild language, some magic violence, fantasy violence. Self-harm is briefly discussed. Adoption issues are discussed as well as brief scenes of a abusive family. Characters briefly mention crushes and or dating, no real innuendos.Complete
