This is a folktale I wrote based off of African literature. It revolves around scientific knowledge, so do enjoy!
Author's Note (5/2019): Hello! Thank you for reading this short story! I made up this tale when I was in 9th grade. This was entirely influenced by other folk tales with my spin on it :)

ESSENCE; A Journal of Time ( Nigerian Scifi )
The first chapter of this book began with a young boy named Cosmos in a family of six, whereby he was coming of age into a man. He has always had the feeling of being out of place in the world, or perhaps it is the world which is out of place. He has always been a Genius, which is both a blessing and a curse. This boy has an imaginary friend which he nicknamed Morningstar. He is very picky with his choice of friends, it is not easy finding someone who can match his complex mind. One could say it is because he sees the best and the worst in people. The storyline took a different route after he got abducted by a dreaded terrorist sect during his NYSC program in Borno State, Nigeria (a program for Nigerian citizens, after they graduate from an higher institution). A lot began to unfold afterwards, he soon discovered that he is just the tip of the iceberg in an entire world filled with principal actors. Time soon made the readers understand that there are a lot of higher forces at play in this novel; humans with godlike technologies and powers out of this world.

The "Actor" And The "Mechanic"
Solar and Ruin have hidden feelings for the other that slowly(kinda) gets found out and explored. (Shit description, I know...) WARNINGS! LONG AS FUCK 1ST CHAPTER Violence Description of Injury and Bleeding Sexual Acts/Words (Smut, too) Teasing Eclipse. Swears Running Away Pity/Guilt Angst Romance (Duh) Clique Shit +More These warnings will not be at the top of the chapters due to length and the warnings being mostly overall in plenty of chapters. This will be published all in the same day, so when it's done, it's done, unless I decide to make a sequel(WHICH I WONT). Fixing grammar for me is fine, and asking about things it fine.Complete

Ocean Rules | SAMS AU
A story with pirates and traumatized characters is great. Oceans Rules is a Sun and Moon show based book, though is placed in a competely different dimension, and doesn't follow the events in the lore at all. • Humans • Family • Relationships • Trauma • Solar × Ruin • Lunar × Gemini • Foxy × Sun This story is gonna have a mix of flashbacks, flashforwards, though is going to be mostly slice of life. If there are any spelling mistakes please tell me! I have struggled with spelling and grammar for quite some time, and help would be heavily appreciated!! Perspective's will shift throughout the story and chapters. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE CAUGHT UP WITH THE LORE OF TSAMS TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY. Cover art made by me!

Tevun-Krus #119 - AfroFuturism 2
**February 4th, 2024 Tevun-Krus #119 - AfroFuturism 2** We first tackled AfroFuturism in 2020 for TK76. Now we're taking on the subgenre once again! AfroFuturism combines traditional African art, architecture, cultures and values (and that of the African diaspora) with the sheer wonder that is our shared science-fiction future! In more recent years, there's been a divide between "AfroFuturism" and "AfricanFuturism"-where the former term has increasingly been applied to works about or by the African diaspora and the latter restricted to the African continent. The Ooorah Mothership has taken a stance of inclusivity, so we welcome stories from both branches of this subgenre.Complete

Scarian one shots >:3
Just some scarian stuff I don't ship the real life people just the characters I have dyslexia so sorry for the spelling and punctuation and typos and all the other stuff :( I will write fluff and angst but I'm aroace so no smut as I feel uncomfortable writing it. I put trigger warnings at the start of chapters. I will also be writing a small amount of flower husbands/ flower ranchers possibly but most of this is going to be scarian :3 If I write anything that is against someone's boundaries then please inform me as I did not do it on purpose I promise. This counts for you the reader as well! If I forget to put a TW then please tell me :) Cover art is by samgatinho Its mature because of topics of SH and other heavy topicsComplete
