"People were warned of Magyck, of how it killed and wreaked havoc among the kingdoms. But still, there remained witches and acolytes of the Magyck, those who believed that they were strong enough to use it and those who willingly surrendered themselves to it. The leaders tried to combat it, but there was little they could do, little they could know. They knew not its plan, what it was working towards.
They did not know. But I did."
~Onora of the House of Elsyf

Roses for Rachel
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.Complete
Never Green | ONC 2023
ONC Shortlister 2023! There are few rules in the Kingdom of Kadotaru, and punishment is not kind, even for the young prince who wishes he was anybody else. Tied to the crown, to his family, to his kingdom, there isn't much he can do. He isn't born to bear the crown, to rule over all the creatures of Kadotaru, but it still haunts him. He never thought to break a rule, there was too much fear deep in his heart. He never thought to break any rules, until she was able to see him. Humans. Humans don't have true sight. They aren't seers, or creatures of Kadotaru. So why can she see him? Why does she reach out to help him? And why did he have to break Kadotaru's most sacred rule? ------------------------------------------------------- This novella will include extreme violence. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapters that include this show of brutality, but do not reach this novella if you do not wish to read horrific scenes.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary, I can't write to you as often anymore. There's a man here, he tells us we must be leaving our home. I don't want to go, but I don't have a choice. I believe this man. He tells us we are in grave danger. He won't tell us why, but I believe following him blindly is better than any future Hunter and I have here. We are not to talk any belongings with us, so I mustn't write to you often; only when Hunter and Xavier sleep. Our moments will be brief, but entirely worth it. We're traveling by foot across the land to the territory of our enemies. I'm frightened and I'm worried, but I know this will be good for us. I'd rather face the unknown than face the same day Hunter and I have lived ever since we arrived here. Do wish us luck, and don't fret over me. I will keep you in my heart and thoughts and I'll dance with you in my dreams. I love you, Diary. One day, we will be together. We're closer now than we ever were. Please be patient. Forever yours, Anabella ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover made by bree (theonlyninjasmurf) <3 Can never thank you enough! It's so beautiful!

The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete

The Heirs
Sᴇǫᴜᴇʟ ᴛᴏ 'Aʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ' 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 '𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆' 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 The stars give comfort, but if one knows how to read them, they may spell disaster and ruination. In the midst of personal tragedy and conflict, darkness spreads over the land and into the hearts of people. Death beckons, as does lust, and wonders never cease. The allure of the unknown casts its net over all prey, and past pain never fades, which the Heirs learn, over and over again, even as fresh aches form. Happiness and prosperity are both fleeting and flickering. Fleeting, like lovers disappearing into the dead of night. Flickering, like a candle flame, snuffed out just as a man's breath. King James tries his best, Princess Selene fights to be important, and Princess Seraphina struggles to be free. What happens as the Golden Age ends, and the Dark Age begins?

Blood Donor | Dark Romance | MxM [COMPLETED]
Allorian's read all about the shady business of selling one's body to a vampire on the internet - and looked up a good agency so he won't get into any trouble. At least that's his plan, but since when do things go according to plan? Explicit content. Don't read if you are a minor. M-rated. Shoutout to @sp-ri-ng for the amazing cover! I love it :D - WARNINGS I've received some feedback that the relationship portrayed is abusive; just as a trigger warning. There is no (with a single exception) pain for the sake of harming anyone. I'd say it is more on the forceful side, especially with the vampire-setting, and the vampire may act questionable and egocentric. Also, depression and I'd say a suicidal tendency do come up (briefly) because of these thoughtless interactions. And, uh, "Stockholm Syndrome" was mentioned, but also in the context of an overall enjoyable read. - Finished story. There are two sequels. The first is called "Blood Sucker" and about their life after the epilogue, and the second one's called "My Blood Donor". It tells the story from Dael's POV (not finished). XOXO T.Complete
