Sisyphus is just an ordinary rock gnome. She's never left her little rock home, never done anything interesting in her twenty years. When she meets the most ragtag, nonsensical group of misfits, could she possibly fit in with her new allies? Could she step out of her new friend's shadows and into the spotlight?
This story is based on a D&D campaign currently being played in my group. The actions of characters other than Sisyphus and major plot points after meeting other characters are not decided by me. That credit goes to my nerd friends, who play the other characters and DM.

A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky.

~Innocent Demoness~
Femi's life was always quite chill, even as Satan's daughter. She wasn't the typical evil demon everyone thinks she is. But things are starting to get a lot more hectic and she is finally starting to become a true demon. "Then all I felt was rage. Rage because they were ruining my time with my mates, rage because they were messing up my really peaceful life as Satan's daughter, and rage because they were hurting people around me. All I saw was red, and before I knew it, my horns and tail were sprouting. It hurt like f*cking hell. During that, somehow the ground had started opening up because of me. I didn't know what I was doing but it was happening. There were flames coming from the cracks on the ground, and I recognized them as hellfire. "Hell's nature wants you to use its power," said Dimona, shocked. My eyes widened. Hellfire was extremely deadly. Any living thing that touches it dies. That's why it's only found in the barren parts of Hell as it's too dangerous to have in the actual Hell city. I calmly collected my thoughts and agreed. I had nothing to lose. I wanted to put an end to this madness. The flames rose even higher and before I knew it, they were hurling towards me."Complete
With Hearts to Hear| ✔
Book #4 in the Bonds of Fate series. "You left me. For 2 years." Killian's voice shook with the force of his emotion. "You chose to leave me." "Leaving was the best thing I ever did. I won't apologise for it." "Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her. How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless? "Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened? "Give me one good reason that I should." "Our daughter." *** Rachel is trouble. After her father's death, trouble and misfortune seems to follow her like a dark cloud.

His parents on the other hand, do not. When his parents decide that Rachel is not the mate that they want for their son, they threaten to drive the couple apart. These two must challenge tradition, and family if they want their love to survive. But, sometimes you have to lose before you can love. "The greatest music comes from within..."Complete

Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive.

Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying.

He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete
