Alsha Medi is not good at lying. She is a loud and forthright theater major, at home in underground punk shows or behind a fencer's mask. But after losing a love that consumed two years of her life, Alsha realizes how her brashness has left her ill-equipped for the real world, and for the London theater scene. Lost and low on cash, she finds herself an open book in a world of performers and pretending, a game she can hardly play.
When she receives a mysterious invitation to visit Shakespeare's Globe at midnight, she figures she has nothing to lose. What she discovers is just how much truth lies beneath the masquerade world she has come to know, and how much of a deceiver she must become to save it.
A Foil in Red is Harry Potter meets Shakespeare, a story of demons, theater, love, lies, and magic. Led by a hare trigger protagonist, with a cast of lush and deliciously secretive characters rendered in flourishing prose, it asks where the acting stops and our true selves begin, and what lies we need to save ourselves.
Hold your applause, and welcome to the performance at the end of the world.

Emerald Shadows
In a kingdom where magic is both feared and forbidden, Elara, a young sorceress with uncontrollable powers, has spent her life hiding from the ruthless Magi Order. Haunted by the tragic loss of her family and the dangerous magic that courses through her veins, Elara's only hope is to remain invisible. But when she is captured and imprisoned by the Order, her fate seems sealed-until a mysterious woman with violet eyes frees her, revealing that Elara's powers may be the key to a rebellion that could change the kingdom's future. Kael, a loyal warrior of the Magi Order, has dedicated his life to hunting sorcerers. But when he captures Elara, something within him shifts. Her emerald eyes, filled with fear and defiance, haunt him in ways he never expected. As he is tasked with finding her after her daring escape, Kael must confront his own doubts about the mission, the Order, and the woman he cannot stop thinking about. As Elara is drawn deeper into the rebellion's cause, she must learn to control her powers and decide who she can trust-including Kael, the man sent to capture her. With the kingdom teetering on the edge of war, Elara and Kael find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict that will force them to question everything they know-about their world, their loyalties, and themselves. "Emerald Shadows"is a tale of magic, betrayal, and forbidden love, where the line between friend and foe is as elusive as the shadows in which they hide.Concluída

The Lies We Hold in Our Hearts
Kathleen is so far, and yet so close to her home. Kathleen's secret is out and miraculously, she isn't dead. Xaden Riorson hasn't killed her, but he isn't the biggest threat to her life. Not anymore. Her past chases her every move and shadows follow her every footstep. Her newly-discovered signet might be able to get her the revenge she wants, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. As she uncovers the truth of the past, she lies to herself about the present. She's lost, tangled, and scared. Her dragon isn't exactly a big help. This is the second "book" to The Secrets We Hide from the Dark. This story is written in first person and present tense. A fanfiction based on Rebecca Yarros's novel and series Fourth Wing/Iron Flame from the Empyrean series. Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me. It is recommended that you read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm before reading this, but this may also be read without reading those books. Some theories might be incorrect and not align with the Empyrean Series. Nevertheless, enjoy! Also available on AO3(Archive of Our Own)
A Myriad Of Ether: Kaleidoscopic
In a kingdom where magic and myth intertwine, Razalea-known only as Raze-is the star of the legendary playhouse, The Grand Cyprus. On stage, she becomes whoever the audience desires. Off stage, she is no one, a phantom slipping between identities, wearing masks of her own making. Every personality had a color in Raze's mind, a shade woven into the fabric of each role she played. When she slipped into a new persona, she became the mask-her features hardening, softening, shifting effortlessly between gentle and unyielding, timid and fearless. A girl of a hundred faces. And yet, beneath it all, when the stage lights dimmed and the act was over-she was just a girl who was barely sixteen. The El'Grazhia academy looms in the distance, a place of prestige and power where warriors, spellcasters, and beast riders are forged. It should mean nothing to her. And yet, its presence unsettles her-its very scent gnaws at something buried deep within. A reckless duel in the streets, whispers of unrest between kingdoms, and a plot to sabotage the academy's trials pull her into a game she never meant to play. But more dangerous than the scheme itself are the eyes that follow her-some lingering in curiosity, others with chilling intent. They watch as she shifts between roles, as if waiting for her to slip, to reveal the truth even she does not fully know. She has spent her life cloaked in illusion, painting herself in borrowed colors. But beneath the masks, beneath her kaleidoscope-what is her true color? And will she find it before the watchers do? The theater was always her stage. But this time, the audience is unseen, and the performance may cost her everything.

Arrangements | | Fred Weasley
"I hate your lips, I hate your voice, I hate the way you walk, I hate the way you say my name, I hate your beautiful face, I hate your pretty freckles, I hate your gorgeous brown eyes. I hate that everything you do, has made me fall in love with you." "What is this?" "You read my letter? The one addressed to me and not you?" "That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that it was from the hospital and addressed to my wife. I'm so sorry that I got concerned." "Don't make this a big deal, Fred, please. It's not, so don't get mad at me when I decide not to tell you this." "Alexa, this is important! Why didn't you tell me?" Alexa Davis, best friend to Jayden and Kiara Wright, has been arranged to marry Fred Weasley by her parents and his parents. Both Alexa and Fred grew up poor but were forced to have a small and cheap wedding with only a few witnesses, the four parents, and could not tell anyone else about this arrangement. They both attended Hogwarts and were on the same year, same house, same classes, but only ever spoke when they had to. That is how they have planned to do their marriage, only speaking when it is important. What happens when something traumatising leads to something life-changing? Will the couple work out? Five years after the Second Wizard War. All known characters belong to JK Rowling. All unknown characters belong to me. I do not support JK Rowling's actions or views at all.
