Lili, Child of the Infinite Sky by Ariashade
13 parts Ongoing Mature
Born to legendary heroes, Lili is no ordinary child. Her magic is unlike anything the Seven Worlds have ever seen-vast, untamed, and as boundless as the sky. With every passing year, her power grows, touching the stars and shaking the earth. Though only six years old, she can summon winds, calm storms, and speak to the heart of nature. Yet, the more her abilities blossom, the more the world fears her. Whispers echo through the kingdom, calling Lili a child touched by the gods, her powers seen as both a gift and a curse. The magic that flows through her veins is so immense that even the most skilled wizards and warriors tremble in her presence, wondering if she is destined to become a savior-or a force too powerful to control. Despite her growing legend, Lili is just a child, carrying the weight of a destiny she doesn't yet understand, isolated from the world by the very power that makes her extraordinary. As dark forces begin to rise, drawn to her magic, Lili must learn to embrace her gifts and find her place in a world that sees her as more than human. With the wisdom of her father, the Archwizard the Master of Sorcerer , and the gentle heart of her mother, the healing sorceress of "Divine healer" , Lili embarks on a journey to discover the true nature of her power-and what it means to be a child of the infinite sky. This is the beginning of an epic tale of magic, wonder, and destiny, where a girl destined for greatness must navigate a world that may never be ready for her. "Born from the Boundless Heavens, Destined to soar"
A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

I peek around, even double-checking to maybe see them but I can't see anyone. "Waiting for someone?" She smiles. Of course. "You. You sly arrogant-" "Shh. Don't be rude to your fiancée." "You won't be my fiancée for much longer." The smirk on her face is infuriating. I press the dagger against her throat until I draw blood. She does the same and at this rate, we'll both die instead of just one of us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Touch her again and I'll cut your fingers off one by one." The guards laugh but I can see the fear in their eyes. They know once I'm out of this, I'm coming for all of them. I'm going to kill them. One by one. Rip them apart, piece by fucking piece No one can touch her and live long enough to tell the tale. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.
