Requiem [COMPLETED]
A fictional memoir of a brother and sister's intertwined fate and inner landscapes, Requiem explores dysfunctional relationships and their individual struggles to find what they can, and can't, live without. After the sudden death of their mother, siblings Sven and Sigrid face numerous upheavals. Sigrid recalls her perception of their losses--detailing the relative isolation in which they were raised--an atmosphere which precipitates a crisis that threatens the siblings' mutual survival.

Thank you for writing it :) Fated mates usually don't interest me because it's kinda weird how people just fall in love with strangers, so I love how awkward and how real you made it seem here ❤️" - @CandyCrushDBComplete

The End's Chosen (Book one)
PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.

The Golden Dragon's Hoard
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. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. 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'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. 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

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.
