Surviving Stirling
Perspective is a funny thing; Stirling Thomas, those two words alone were enough to have anyone running in the opposite direction and cowering in fear. The town has heard all of the rumours, they know he has just been released from prison and they know he is notoriously infamous for being in some sort of crime gang. But they don't actually know HIM. When his sweet old mama invites the girl next door to live with them for a while he has to learn how to find the balance between being a brutal crime lord or revealing something nobody ever thought he had - his heart. This isn't a gang story per say, it's more about the man BEHIND the gang. 🩶Complete
There and back again, a journey to love.
"Here is the first part of my short(ish) story about the wonderful Sir Guy of Gisborne. I have written it because I always felt he was a bit shortchanged by the storylines, and the ladies, in the BBC Series, and I wanted to try to redress the balance. As someone once said, "it is a poor thing, but mine own". You will find magic, time spinning, love, loss, and a large dose of naughtiness, which I hope does not offend." " Ihope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it." "For fun, I have inserted some excerpts from some of Richard's other work, I hope you enjoy looking for them." "I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, who brought the character to life for me, and is now firmly planted in my heart and soul. There could be no better inspiration. All others are a pale imitation."Complete

However, the midnight man was not the only thing the teenagers should be worried about.

The guardians thought they'd gotten rid of Pitch Black, being swept into darkness by his own nightmares. Everyone was in high spirits and decided to throw a party to celebrate. No one bothered to check Pitch's lair to see what'd happened to him. If they had, they would see he'd only been severely weakened. Pitch Black was alone in his dark lair. His nightmares had abandoned him and were turned into daydreams by the Sandman himself. Pitch barely had enough energy to create a small nightmare before it would dissappear. Everyone thought he was gone for good, everyone ALWAYS thinks they've truly gotten rid of fear. So when Pitch felt a huge spike of fear and darkness, he followed it to the source. The source of fear was somewhere in a small town called Amity Park. Set after TUE. I only own the plot, wish I owned the characters.

Santa's Baby: an age gap MPREG romance (18+ ADULT M/M)
Jack's light footsteps ran through the cabin, and Elias's best and oldest friend appeared in the doorway of the office. His bright blue eyes scanned over Elias's slumped form. "Something's wrong. Are you well? You're not. Where's Christobel?" Jack hovered next to Elias, long pale hands almost touching his arm. Elias made himself sit up. Already, the panic was receding. "I'm fine. Have a seat." Elias waved at the guest bed. "It's good to see you. Sorry to worry you. I just didn't want to be alone." Jack shot him a surprisingly warm look for a man who harnessed the power of snow and ice. "You're never alone." "You know what I mean." Elias gave him a weak smile. "I think I just had a panic attack and overreacted, that's all." Elias Klaus, formerly known as Father Christmas, St. Elias, and most of all Santa Claus, has to save the world. Against the wishes of his closest friend, Jack, whose natural power has been growing as humans have been destroying themselves, Elias wants to save humanity by conceiving a baby created from the last shred of hope and joy that he can find. With his reindeer guide-turned-motorcycle Christobel, Elias ventures into the mortal world with a dwindling population and does very... mortal things. ADULT! 18+! Sex drinking and post-apocalyptic.
