Sometimes I get a scene or idea stuck in my head but don't see it evolving into a full story. They'll be one chapter each but may vary in length. You'll find those short vignettes here! No solid plans on when I'll update as inspiration comes as it will - at rather inconvenient times.
Currently:
-Armory: Awakened abruptly by unwelcome house guests, Nael finds men going on a quest requesting her aid have taken over her living room.
-Burn: Jonas is the last to speak to his dying grandmother, leader of their clan. She decides it's time to tell him the story of the blood red feather she keeps braided in her hair.
-Red and Gold: Death looks different to the person who's dying. A woman coolly contemplates her death as she quickly bleeds out onto the golden carpet of her family's home.
-The Side of Good: After the end of the war between Phillia and Stolryn, a soldier is sent to kill Vesh the Destroyer, the one who started the war. But when she captures him, instead of killing him she tells him her story.
-Slay Your Own Dragons: A symmetrical poetry piece with a fantasy bent.
-Ten Reasons: Are your reasons good enough? Might act as a fun prompt for someone.

A Court of Heritance and Destiny
Disclaimer: I do not own ACOTAR characters or the world. This is my own work created within Sarah J Maas already created world.

Mated to Etera, the Shifter. Both of them are loyal to their court and their family. Both of them dream of a future that feels so impossible and far away, that when it is within grasp, it scares them more. Part 2: During Freya, daughter to Tamlin.

The fiery Phoenix/Crimson tales of the burning embers
burned to ashes Hint hints SOME of my stories are connected to the Age Of POWERS: last part :D She was supposed to be dead-burned to ashes in the fires that had claimed her once peaceful life. But Ember Wren, the woman with the power of the Phoenix, refuses to stay down. Captured by enemies who sought to extinguish her flames for good, Ember awakens in a world where her powers are fading, drained by mysterious forces, and her memories fractured. Though she was once an unstoppable force, she's now vulnerable, lost in a world where she can no longer trust herself or the people around her. But Ember is not one to give in. Even weakened, she is unkillable. As she slowly rediscovers her abilities, unlocking her many powerful and unpredictable transformations, her past comes rushing back in pieces-full of secrets, lies, and the unresolved romance that haunts her heart. But danger looms. Her enemies are relentless, and they want her powers for themselves. To survive, she must find her strength again while navigating the murky waters of trust, betrayal, and love. As Ember battles those who seek to control her and confronts the man who once betrayed her, the embers of her past threaten to ignite a fiery storm. Will she be able to reignite the Phoenix within, or will she be forever consumed by the forces conspiring against her?Complete
An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.

𝑨 𝑫𝑶𝑶𝑴𝑬𝑫 𝑩𝑳𝑶𝑶𝑫𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬~ Jacaerys Velaryon, Cregan Stark, Daeron Targaryen
FIRST BOOK OF "𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒚" Targaryens are known to have queer costumes, an unusual tradition in which the brother and sister wed each other in order to secure the line of succession as pure as possible. Well, it is not always the Targaryens that have such habits, who says that they are the only ones to marry within the family? Not when there indeed exists love, as clear as the reflection in the surface of the sea, as consuming as the glorious fire that burns every piece of life ahead of it. The word "love" can have many different meanings and from various aspects, love can be dangerous, powerful and sensational, a concept of purity that was left in this world just for one reason... to bring people close, to make life good in all its worst. In 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 case it was everything and nothing... because Jacaerys Velaryon would sooner sacrifice himself than see his little sister suffering, he would put the realm to torch just for 𝘩𝘦𝘳... 𝘩𝘪𝘴 Vellena... #2-in #creganstark (05.07.2025) #1-in #jacaerysvelaryon (19.05.2026) HOTD FANFIC ( mostly book vers) JACAERYS VELARYON X FEM OC!

Destiny of Fire: The Normality (WotP)
"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world. When it gets ready to try and possess its next victim, Alisha Quill, a group called the Storm-seekers and another group called the Spreaders are hard at work to stop the Phoenix in any way possible, including asking for the help of the most powerful man in the world; Almaroz. Meanwhile, nine heroes rise from the most unlikely places and even though they don't know it, their paths are set to cross and their destiny falls under the feet of the storm-seekers and the Phoenix itself.

Healer
Completed. AzrielxFemale OC - Slow Burn, Fluff, Smut, Soft Az. Lots of Action/Story/Other character involvement. "Coming back is like swimming up to the surface. If you almost drowned already, it takes a while to feel safe taking a breath." The Shadowsinger gets distracted on a raid by a gentle natured female that appears out of place in the camp he's just taken over. He gets his job done, but takes critical moments to pull her aside and offer her refuge in his home city of Velaris. The risk of their conversation costs him, and the next few months are spent overcoming the repercussions, both physical and emotional. Dark magic swirls in Prythian, calling on spells more ancient than the High Lords and Ladies have seen in centuries and wreaking havoc on those who are too young to even recognize the source. A war is brewing and a quiet battle is already raging for the loyalty of the only healer in Prythian possessing the skills to identify and fight back against the sorcery. How will young and old, light and dark, pain and forgiveness, come together to save the land, and each other? Disclaimer: I own none of the characters or places referenced here.

These Ashes Between Us | A. Targaryen
{More Book accurate than Show accurate Cuz Fuck Ryan Condal & Sara Hess} Born in the heart of fire and blood, Saera Velaryon, the eldest daughter and heir of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, was a child beloved beyond measure-a princess draped in adoration, raised to believe the Iron Throne was her birthright. The realm called her *Saera the Spoiled*, for she had never known a world where she was not treasured. But war does not spare even the most cherished. When the Dance of the Dragons erupts, the realm fractures between Black and Green. Prince Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed rider of Vhagar, stands at the forefront of the war, a blade in the name of his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, and his brother, King Aegon II. A warrior forged in anger, ruthless and unyielding, but was his sword ever truly theirs to start? Aemond harbors a secret-a devotion that undermines the very cause he supposedly fights for. For all his wrath and violence, his heart has been lost to Saera since childhood, bound to her by longing, by fate, by a love neither of them dared to name. When duty and desperation forced them into an marriage before the war broke, their union was meant to be a bridge between Green and Black, a political bond to quell animosity and resentment. But beneath the weight of war and betrayal, behind closed doors and whispered confessions, *love*-unyielding, undeniable-has already taken root. Their love is a treasonous thing, a flame burning between two sides sworn to destroy each other. And in the end, when the blood of kin stains the realm and dragons fall from the sky, Aemond must make a choice-his family or his wife, his crown or his heart. For what is duty when weighed against devotion? And what is a throne when set against love? _ "And then the storm broke, and the dragons danced."
