A failed assassin. A disgraced noble of Morrowind. Two unlikely companions.
When Nusha the Shadowscale assassin sneaks into the basement of her first target, she thinks it's going to be an easy job. But Karme, a Dark Elf from Morrowind, throws a spanner in the works when she kills Nusha's mark. Nusha needs to take the amulet from the assissated man's body, only there's one problem: it's cursed, and Karme can't remove it from around her neck.
Nusha can't stand the prim and proper Karme, and Karme feels much the same about the sardonic Argonian. But when the cursed amulet sends hordes of undead soldiers after them, the two will have to put their differences aside in order to save each other and all of Cyrodiil.
Balanced on the Knife Edge is a story set in the Elder Scrolls world, with original characters. If you're tired of hegemonic fantasy with nothing but straight characters, you'll LOVE this story, because it's action-packed and queer as heck!

"Neon Sorcery" A Cyberpunk 2077 x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Romance Crossover
When a volatile portal spell goes off-course, Yennefer of Vengerberg is violently torn from the Continent and thrown into the neon-drenched chaos of Night City. Lost in a world of chrome, cyberware, and corporate gods, her magic reacts like a live wire-beautiful, deadly, and hunted by every megacorp hungry for power. Rogue Amendiares, legendary fixer and queen of the Afterlife, has survived Night City by trusting no one. But when a raven-haired sorceress crashes into her world-burning through gangs, netrunners, and corporate lies-Rogue sees more than danger. She sees possibility. Profit. And a spark she can't ignore. Drawn together by a trail that may lead to Ciri-or to a trap woven by something far older-the two women forge a volatile alliance fueled by desire, defiance, and the kind of trust neither thought they'd ever offer again. As the Wild Hunt bleeds into Night City and the streets erupt into war, Yennefer and Rogue must fight as one: steel and sorcery, chrome and chaos. In a city where love is a vulnerability and power is the only currency, they will burn a path through gods, ghosts, and megacorps to claim each other-and their future beneath the neon glow. This story contains adult themes, including queer romance, graphic sensuality, violence, dark fantasy elements, cyberpunk body modification, and emotionally intense power dynamics. Reader discretion is advised. The narrative emphasizes consensual intimacy, complex relationships, and mature subject matter throughout.Complete
Rose
Rose is a mess after her lovers either die, abandon her, or lately, get kidnapped. Her girlfriend, Kalbir, has been taken by the greatest asshole of Virginia. Kalbir is a literal genius scholar woman. Her knowledge is required to access great magical power. Although unconfident of her relatively new skills, Rose sets off to meet new companions, save her girlfriend, and hopefully stick it to that dickhead from Kansas. What to expect: Gay. More gay. A cute romantic triad. Mortemer's daddy issues. This is a direct sequel to The Duke of San Diego, both of which are still under construction. That book is hardly done editing, let alone this one. Even though it's rough around the edges, don't expect too many changes for a while until I get to it. Thanks!Complete
