Last published Sat, Dec 2, 2017
Floyd's life as a pope at an American corporation was a quiet descent into mediocrity, until he earned the ire of a druidic cult from the Soviet Union. Now even sanctifying a Pilates class can become a harrowing journey.
It is almost time for the annual pilgrimages to the job descriptions that vest citizens with arcane powers. However, casting off his mitre is not in the cards for Floyd.
Rumors say that an immensely important job description will be unveiled at the annual Pope Conference in Tampa, and sinister forces gather among the neon lights.
It is 1983, the year of fast paced electronic music and edgy corporate rituals.
This time, the red scare brings fire and brimstone.

Secrets and Things (MxM)
Meet Nerovsky (Nero) Poston. He started working at MegCorp, a multi-alotofmoney dollar company. All he wants: live a low-key, simple life. But he can't because one, he has too many secrets that mess with his personal life, including his secret double life as a "justice" vigilante. Secondly, he somehow managed to get deeply entangled with his boss and finds himself falling for him, a person he feels he doesn't deserve Meet Leonardo Covell. He is the owner of MegCorp and the owner of a lot of money. His life is relatively smooth sailing (eg. people constantly sucking up to him), which is an absolute bore. However, after a couple of unexpected meetings with a certain newbie, he finds himself wanting to unravel the mystery. Speaking of mystery, a certain midnight hero with a familiar aura has also caught his attention... - Meet Aiden Hendrix, Nero's best friend and partner in crime. He's a tech genius who's a decent-looking, playful social butterfly. But sometimes, it's all a mere facade to hide his own secrets and issues. However, after butting heads with a certain CEO, he finds his mask breaking and unintentionally revealing a side that he never wanted to shed light on for anyone. Meet Erwin Fonzo, best friend of Leo and CEO of Nic and Co. He's a pro at faking his emotion and does so in order to make interactions less troublesome. He's considered cold due to his refusal of keeping people closer than an arm's length, but after a blue-haired man argues his way into his life, his arm's length shortens slowly as he unravels more about the man, including seeing a side of his that no one was ever meant to see. - A stereotypical romantic trope. Story's based around two couples. VERY slow burn. - DISCLAIMER: A LOT of swearing, mentions of sexual harassment (not explicit), panic attacks, mature jokes? Therefore, 16+ only kiddos The beginning is a bit trash and slow but it gets better?

The City of the Angels ✔️
When Isadora, a personal trainer from a wealthy family, falls for Roman, the heir to a deadly cartel, their intense connection is shattered by secrets and betrayal. As danger closes in, they must confront their pasts, fight for survival, and decide if love can exist in a world built on lies and violence. *** Los Angeles, also known as The City of the Angels. It's a fitting name for Los Ángeles del Armagedón, a cartel based in LA that runs the entire continent of South America. They're notorious, ruthless, and absolutely elusive. Well, apart from 26 year old Roman Ernesto Alvarez. Recently released from a two year stint in prison, he returns to the free world as the adopted heir to the most powerful cartel in South America. He's struggling to be back on the outside... until he meets her. Isadora Visente. She's a 23 year old personal trainer struggling with her parents' pressure to settle down and marry. Unknowingly, their slow-building but intensifying connection becomes Roman's unexpected anchor after his release. Her life working as a trainer in her gym is pretty mundane and repetitive, until she meets Roman, of course. Then it all gets a lot more interesting. *** "You sneaky little shit." Roman's eyes snapped over to me, or more accurately, towards my legs. There I stood in the middle of his room glaring at him, and he sat there with his beautiful eyes roaming over my exposed legs. He eventually dragged his gaze towards my upper half, but only for a second before it was back on my legs. "Damn." His voice was low and husky and just...perfect. Even if I was mad at him I couldn't deny that fact. "My eyes are up here, Roman." "Yeah, but your legs are down there." *** Part of the Costantino UniverseComplete

The Villainess Became The Male Lead's Secretary
Picture this: I suddenly find myself in a medieval fantasy world, like the ones I used to gobble up in books. But here's the comical conundrum: I've got no clue which exact story realm I've landed in.

So now, I'm stuck navigating this new world armed with nothing but recycled plotlines, overused clichés, and predictable story arcs. It's like I'm playing a game with rules as simple as connecting the dots, but with my luck, it'll probably end up being more like connecting the dots during an earthquake! Who knows what kind of hilariously bizarre situations I'll find myself in? Original Story.Complete
