The politics surrounding dragons are complicated and when Atticus finds two that have bonded to a human, he has to consider the safety of the forest he was bound to protect first.
In the simplest terms of a herbarium is a collection of things, herbs to be exact. Atticus mostly just liked the word. There was something enjoyable about the way it rolled off the tongue. The creatures in the forest he cared for were far from something for him to collect, but he was often gifted with things: a branch from the ancient tree outside his house, a silver leaf from the forest nymph frozen in time, a pale scale from the mer in the lake, a vivid blue feather from the phoenix, a fang necklace from the wolf-child were only part of his collection.

The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
The Great Adventures of Harry and Y/N, Year One
Y/N grew up with a single best friend for as long as they can remember but the world they know and love comes crashing down one day when their parents reveal the deep secret that their family has wizarding roots! Join Y/N as they go through the crazy adventure of discovering the wizarding world with Harry Potter as well as meeting many new friends and enemies along the way! (Hello! This is a Harry Potter reader insert with a female focus but should be good to read for any gender, I try limiting my reference to our main characters' gender as much as possible! My writing is mainly focused on following the Harry Potter books! With that being said I will not be following the story exactly, these chapters mainly focus on your interactions with all the characters we know and love from the Harry Potter world! Prepare yourselves for a slow-burn romance as our characters grow up together! I will be considering the comments of my readers to see which relationships should be followed throughout your years at Hogwarts!)Complete
The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete

Hidden Magic
A young elf takes up the task of hunting down a band of orc trespassers with the help of her centaur brother. When she stumbles into a pitfall, Meren finds an object: an amulet that gives strange new powers. Little does she know that an increasingly desperate young wizard is looking for the very same amulet and that their paths are destined to crisscross in a weave of chaotic magic... (This is a novella I wrote in '11 and it's one of my very first stories. My writing style has changed a lot since then, but I'm sharing this with some minor editing because it's the story that gave me a love of writing and for that it'll always hold a special place in my heart. This is unconnected to the other stories I'll share to my Wattpad and takes place in a different fantasy world.)Complete
