One bitter fiancé.
One housekeeper.
One lady of the night.

A Mouse & The Fallen Star by CBCeecee

How long is a lifetime? For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning---a punishment etched into eternity for a rebellion that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to. A creature of light and power, he now walks the earth in flesh as a wealthy, enigmatic man. His vast empire---built on both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings---spans civilizations, but none of it brings him peace. One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her. ... Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon, she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long-buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever. Yet salvation doesn't come easily. Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more. Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone? *This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

Our Hill of Stars by WrittenBySammer

Moving 1,370 miles away from home to take care of her grandma wasn't how Ashlyn Emerson planned on spending her summer. She knew taking care of the woman who raised her wasn't going to be an easy task. She has always been a free spirit. The kind of girl who turned her head towards the stars closed her eyes and dreamed. You'd think someone who studied the stars would know better than to wish on them. But she still gave them one simple wish: that she'd find her place in this world. Forced to grow up too fast, Eli Cormac was the sole provider for his younger brother and sister. He was making ends meet but dreamed of something greater. Something to help him find the happiness he once had. Eli looked towards the stars asking for a sign from the universe that he wasn't meant to be alone. Looking up into the night sky was comforting. It felt safe. And when Ashlyn and Eli bump into each other at the old star observatory in the middle of the night, they both take it as a sign. They were both on the right track all along. ___________________________________________ *A Summer Romance & The Wish That Changed Everything* 💙 © All Rights Reserved 2020

Rain is a necessary evil. It's prayed for yet cursed and hated. It brings forth destruction and life simultaneously. Rain is a refreshing sprinkle and an overwhelming flood.

Damnation Of Devotion ✔ by LadyInLostYearn

"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow. He is saved by a curious, lonely spirit and builds an affinity with her; but will he be her only salvation or eternal damnation? Either way, she can't let him go. And neither can he... as they're more similar than they thought. With unexpected gifts and losses coming their way, the starry-eyed lovers go on a journey for a sense of peace through a strange reality, a stark contrast to her own. The human world. Not an easy feat. Especially where ghosts and dreadful creatures are concerned. ☾✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧☽ Cover art by DuskBeetle This story isn't drama-filled and hasty despite the dramatics and the hassles. ▪︎ Ludus/Eros/Pragma & Philia ▪︎ Grumpy x Sunshine ▪︎ Interracial Couple ▪︎ 93k-98k words ▪︎ WARNING: Death, war, and miscarriage themes, harsh language, mild violence, implied trafficking Copyright © 2021 by L.I.
