Xe'Cala Maral Nerys loves nothing more than performing her job as Shaman of a small village. Her goddess is her lifeblood, and it is for her sake that Xe'Cala sacrificed her hands, her emotions, and her free will to exclusively serve as the spiritual leader of her people.
Whether she had a choice or not was debatable.
That never bothered her, however. Choices are easier to make when a goddess makes them for you. That is, at least, until a centennial vision from her goddess tells of a horrible disaster befalling Xe'Cala's tribe of diris. And this time, her goddess is not choosing for her.
Left to fend for herself, Xe'Cala is forced into a choice she never should have had and thrown into a chaotic spin as she tries desperately to balance her goddess-granted magic with her diri-born humanity. With her world crumbling around her, Xe'Cala knows that the only thing standing between her people and an untimely death is the Shaman's choice.
She can only hope she chooses correctly.

Blood and Shadows (Dark Urge x Astarion)
Sirena has no memory of her past as she awakens on the nautiloid. She doesn't just feel the tadpole behind her eye, working its way into her brain. She also feels something deeper...darker. The worm is being overshadowed by the constant desire- no NEED to kill...kill...KILL. Her only mission is to get revenge on those who have left her with only a name and this need to destroy. Everything else, her experiences, battles, and relationships will slowly reveal her past; whether it is useful or disturbing is another problem. However, her past is known to a select few. She will go on to find out she does indeed have a reason for the twitch she feels when a knife is in her hand. A reason why her body sings along with every strike of a blade against anything that moves. She is the daughter of Bhaal himself, the lord of murder. He sired not only her sweet name but the incessant desire for murder. She was trained in the arts of delightful music aswell as blades. Why? Because Bhaal's chosen must be so despicable that they can use honeyed words to convince their prey to commit their own murder, command a room of people to drop with the most angelic of Melodies. Her power resides in words because it was his desire, but her skills were moulded into something far more deadly. How she became lost with this urge is the main question pounding against her skull, but whoever did this didn't think of one thing. Sirena may have forgotten...but she will never forgive. Will she decide to resist this urge and get her revenge? Especially when it comes to those she will grow to love? Well...let's hope the dice roll in her favour. (This is a series I've created in honour of my durge run that I just had to write about. All inspired by conversations, events or areas through the course of the game. This is meant for mature audiences, due to the amount of violence, language, character backgrounds, etc. There are sexual scenes but don't expect many as I'm VERY new to writing. Thank you and enjoy!)
My magic is for you, Alpha
"He remained silent as he gazed upon her. He awaited her to initiate the conversation. If he was taken aback, he didn't show it, though a flicker of emotion passed in his eyes. This girl who had plagued his dreams, who had insulted and rejected him as if he was someone inconsequential, now stood before him, politely bowing and waiting for his response. No, he would not give her that satisfaction, at least of that he was certain." Trish has always been a fierce independent woman, but when the threat looms over her home, she is forced to set aside her pride and seek the aid of the strongest Alpha. Her illness has left her wolfless, or so everyone thinks. Trish does not share her secrets. Caelan is determined to be a just Alpha despite his troubled past. He is pragmatic, dismissing the old beliefs and supernatural tales. But the Moon Goddess has a way of laughing at non-believers. During a visit to another Alpha's pack, he meets Trish and he burns. He burns for her, he burns because of her and what he knows for sure is that this woman has bewitched him. It hurts when she rejects him. The time doesn't heal deep wounds. He wants her to feel the same pain, he wants his revenge, she is not his True Mate, but why then does she have such a hold on him? Why does her barely noticeable scent smell so sweet? What magic is that?Complete
Worthy of the Sea ✔️
Zeus must've said something because Poseidon visibly sighed and looked away with a dangerous scowl. Perci's father collapsed into a puddle of sea water, disappearing to...wherever. Zeus coughed, clearing his throat and raised his glass once more. "Odin, the Allfather and I have declared an alliance between the Greeks and the Norse." It suddenly seemed like a moment to hold one's breath and the whole room did, "With the marriage of Thor Odinson and Persephone Jackson." Silence reigned over the room for a few moments before the quiet was broken with the shattering of glass hitting the marble floor. All eyes turned to the culprit, it being Perci herself. Annabeth was looking at her, shocked beyond comprehension and a hand covered her gaping mouth. Piper and Hazel's reaction were similar. The sea green eyed demigoddess took a shaky breath, a handful of her skirt and fled the room for the closest door. The only sound was the quick tapping of Perci's heels hitting the marble floor and the mountain quaking beneath her. Complete 14th of September 2018 Edited 18th of January 2019Complete

The Goddess's Gambit
She was chosen by the Moon Goddess-her soul marked, her fate sealed. At the time, it was a blessing. A divine gift. But the gods don't offer refunds. And once a path is taken, it must be walked... even if it leads straight into the fire. Now Shivani must face a brutal truth: The one she was destined to love might be the one who brings her ruin. A story of sacred love, dangerous desire, and the kind of truth that burns. •Contains explicit language, graphic sexual content, and drug use.•. {Editing starts when books complete!}
Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
