1781. Ophelia Osbourne is anything but ordinary. Her grandfather, a polyglot valet of Prince Esterházy of Hungary, had escaped slavery in Barbados, claiming to be an African prince himself. Her father was a musical prodigy in London by the mere age of nine. Ophelia has always been told that her life's unique circumstances are a gift--but when she seems to suddenly lose everything in one swipe, she must find a way to salvage what's left of her world with the cards that have been dealt to her.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
I Suddenly Became The Villain's Saviour
One More Try
Jean Horton, the famous opera diva, has quite a few regrets in her life, but her daughter Ophelia is none of them. How the relationship with Ophelia's father ended is definitely one though. And so is not telling him about their daughter. But facing him after everything she'd done? Impossible. Only when involuntarily reunited by fate they get the chance to work things out and maybe give their relationship (and family) one more try. A story inspired by the movie Quartet and the song "One More Try" from &Juliet the Musical (Check them out, top tier entertainment!). I don't own any of the characters from the play/movie. I have taken the liberty to move back in time and develop the characters from the movie a little, as well as adding some characters to make the story interesting. Hope you like it :)Complete
Bulletproof Heart | A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction | Sequel to Desolation Row
Ophelia Avondale was like any 17 year old girl: she had annoying younger siblings (twins, who she hadn't seen for 6 months, in her case), she had parental estrangement (for fourteen years she had been without her mother and, still fresh in her mind, she had been without her father for almost a month), she'd had a stutter ever since she could talk and she was dating a boy she'd known since childhood. Draco Malfoy, however, was not like any 17 year old boy: he had a dark secret, darker than even he knew the extent of, so dark that it had dragged everyone he cared about into the darkness with him - but it wasn't his fault. For years, nearly 15 years, Ophelia and Draco had been the closest of friends, telling one another everything, and for months, nearly 4 months, Ophelia and Draco had been dating. But when Draco is forced to go on the run and Ophelia has to make an important decision that may throw her life on the line, how will their relationship fair?Complete

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella
An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5Complete
