If you read the story, I'll love you forever, except I won't because that would be just a little bit creepy.
Please leave me a comment somewhere if you believe this story should be rated mature. I'm not entirely certain myself.
The first of 'The Misfortune' trilogy.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.![Those Who Return at Dawn - Book 1 - Lord of Thymos [Romantic fantasy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/400177625-256-k264469.jpg)
Those Who Return at Dawn - Book 1 - Lord of Thymos [Romantic fantasy]
"There were many legends and stories about werewolves and vampires, dragons and elves, spirits and demons, but why couldn't he find any record about a being who lived, yet seemed not to exist in this world? Was this ritual dangerous? Summoning demons? Sacrificing his soul? Luther closed his eyes tightly. Deep down, he knew what his decision was. He needed an answer to his fifteen-year-long question." This is the story of two boys who awaken their divinities (a reaper and a sun god.) One was born with everything. The other lost the only few things he had. What will happen when the Flow of Destiny intertwines their lives? This is a story about salvation and being saved, about life and death, about exploration and adventure, about kinship, friendship, and love. Follow Luther and Aaron as they wander through the boundless Cosmos; strolling the magical market Mariana, diving into the silent depths of the Tranquil Sea, riding the Orion Express under starlit skies, visiting Sicily the city of blossoms and fruit, travelling the Heart of the Cosmos, crossing the wilds of Anasia, climbing the Tower of Tomorrow, and countless other realms where wonder never ends. What to expect: - OP MCs. - Fantasy worlds/food/species ... - Found family. - Slice of life. - Lots of cozy moments, yet the stakes are still there. - Slow burn romance (Strangers to friends to family to lovers, oblivious x oblivious.) - Cute pets. Imagine a blend of Harry Potter (a hidden magical world in a modern setting) and Percy Jackson (Descendants of Greek Gods) with a Ghibli vibe. Though told through young eyes, I hope this tale may also be read as a fairytale for grown souls: a heart-warming and wholesome adventure, with a hint of darkness and a pinch of sadness. Warnings: - Gay. No sexual content. - The story takes references from Greek mythology, Dante's Inferno, and Ars Goetia, but will add, remove, and modify many different details. Please consider this as an alternate universe.Complete
Slice of (magic) Life
Axle has known magic his whole life. Not the kind of magic from stage acts and swindlers on the streets, the kind that was used in secret, under the cover of lies and facades. Magic that, when found out by regular non-magic civilians, will be mercilessly sought out and destroyed if they weren't able to use it for themselves. This was his father's warning. But even when kept a secret, danger lurks ever so closely and Axle had to find a way to stop it all on his own... Or did he? Elaine knew she wasn't the only one. She had this feeling that there were others in her high school that did what she could do: real magic. Just when she was mustering up the courage to ask someone else that she thought was like her, danger strikes her school. A danger that she felt was related to her magic. She knew she had to do something about it. Should she deal with the threat alone like she usually faced everything else in her life? Or will she finally confront her suspicions about a certain boy from her school that she was sure had magic like her? ------------------------------------------------------- Huuuge thank you to the user @rainhither for creating this beautiful cover. You're the best!! This is an original story by me. The characters from this work are part of a different, but same universe, original novel I am currently writing. However, the main story of this universe will not be published here (at least that's my decision for now.) since I plan to publish/self-publish that work. Thanks for reading all the way to the end and I hope you like it!Complete
The Black Crow (originally The Reaper)
All my life, I thought I knew how evil this world can be. And just when I thought things changed for the better, everything made a quick and unforeseen turn. I saw what this very evil truly looks like, and it is far more sinister than I realized. I know because this very evil is what killed me. And then after my death, I asked myself, "why am I not dead?" and the answer was obvious. It is because I actually am dead, and the only reason I'm still breathing is because I was reborn into something far more sinister than these evils. ...Soon, my thirst for vengeance will be satisfied with their blood. ...Soon, their tarnished souls will be reaped from this world. This story is intended for mature (+18) readers only. Read at your own discretion.
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.
Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped.

He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic.

Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!
