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...

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"
Airie
Since childhood, Dusan heard stories about airies - the magical creatures who could bend the rules of nature to their will. Despite looking like humans, they were enemies, abominations to be hunted and destroyed. Dusan knew those weren't just fairy tales, for he had met an airie before, and had barely survived the encounter. It had left him with more questions than answers, so when his assailant crossed his path years later, he just had to figure it out - was that airie really that bad? Was the attraction and curiosity that he evoked in Dusan just a result of some magic spell, or something else entirely? Could an airie and a human possibly get along? And, in the world of humans, could a magical creature survive without his powers? -------------------------------------------------- Dear Reader, I hope you'll enjoy this story!

Her First Mistake
Everything goes wrong when Roxie Reilly manages to anger the most powerful dark mage in history. Things only get worse when she's kidnapped "for her own safety," when she wants nothing to do with magic at all. ~ Roxie Reilly made a critical mistake: she threatened to punch the sketchy woman at work. That woman turned out to be Dani Darhk, the worst threat to magick normalcy. And Roxie had no idea that magic even existed in the first place. Now she's entangled in the magick world, and wants nothing to do with it. But the walls of reality are beginning to crumble, revealing the secrets behind them. She's surrounded by beings of incredible power-some willing to help her, and most wanting to kill her. Roxie wants nothing more than to go back to her life as a regular nobody from Tennessee, but no one is willing to let her-not to mention she would probably die if she did, because of the dark mage hunting her. Armed with only a pair of fists, a spicy attitude, and some otherworldly potential within her, Roxie is seriously regretting threatening to punch that mage. Book one of the Roxie Reilly Trilogy. Can be read as a standalone. Awards: ⭐ Second Place in the Stellar Awards -- Fantasy Note: This story is only available on Wattpad, posted by my BerryButterfly account and under copyright.

Flightless
Niles knows a lot about faeries. As a doctor who specializes in treating fae, he's become a leading expert in his field. But when a new patient crosses his path, a hybrid faerie named Ashton, even he begins to doubt his ability to help this patient. Ashton doesn't know where he is or how long he's been away from home. All he knows is that he shouldn't trust this new human doctor who is trying to help him adjust to life without his wings. Convinced that there is no way to get back home without endangering his entire clan, Ashton has resigned himself to his current predicament and given up on a hopeful future. As Niles tries to connect with this reserved and cautious faerie, and Ashton tries to rebuild his life from scratch, they both learn what it means to trust and move forward. AUTHOR'S NOTE Me, putting on a fake mustache and pretending to be a used car salesman: *slaps cover of story* This right here is our newest model! As a rom-dram-slice-of-life, this baby has it all: fluff/angst, hurt/comfort, slowburn, and MAGIC. All for the price of free.99! Don't love it? You can stop reading it at any time, free of charge! What a steal! So, what are you waiting for? Start reading today! Rated mature for: brief instance of suicidal ideation; brief, non-graphic mentions of torture (including forced confinement, mutilation, starvation); detailed panic attacks; PTSD If any of those things are especially upsetting to you, please read a story that will bring you joy and comfort instead so that you can properly live, laugh, and love. As an extra note, this story is very slice-of-lifey and character/relationship-driven with a focus on hope and healing. Note: All locations are fictional, just fyi.Complete

Strange Aeons [Book 1]
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die. [H.P. Lovecraft] - Accepted in the Urban Reading List @WattpadUrban - Accepted in the Magic Reading List @magic - [5th Place [81/100 pts.] in the Ruby Awards [@The_ruby-awards] Paranormal/Horror Section - Winner of the Wattpad Nobel Awards - Supernatural Section [91/100] A trigger happy Irish ex-soldier who's not afraid to put her tactical mind, her cooking abilities and her utter ignorance of the Magic world on the field. A Mexican Palo Mayombe priest who'd very much prefer to live a quiet life between his magical studies and his parish. A Russian engineer who has lost most of his memories and would just like to spend his days in his cellar, where nobody knows what happens. A bureaucrat at heart, forced to he the Enforcer, and thus the tactical chief - or as he likes to define himself: glorified babysitter - of the aforementioned three subjects. A powerful Order of Mages, working behind the scenes of the world... in the most bureaucratic and organized way. What happens when a simple mission, who would lift the Coven of the Pollos Rojos de la Revolucion at least up the rank where they'd have the right to a home with, at least, one room each and two bathrooms, goes south in a totally unpredictable way? Follow the adventures of Banshee, Chico, Vopros, and Garaham, as in Strange Aeons, unnamed supernatural forces, and very named ones, find themselves at the beginning of a plan eons in the making, that will change everything. Especially the lives of the three minimum-wage mages. ********************************************************************************************Complete
