Rewritten. Previously known as Aaditya Her Monster.

A hunger that never faded, only waited for her return. She is his ruinous devotion. He is her forgotten obsession.

It Was Just For Fun (BoyXBoy)
Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete
Demonic
Before you read the description of my book, I want to give a few quick disclaimers. The first one is that most of the chapters aren't very long, so the 60 chapters isn't as intimidating to read as it may seem. Second, my story does include the following things that some people may be uncomfortable reading. Cursing/Swearing. Violence, Sex Jokes, Homophobia, And child abuse. Specifically, Name calling, a few things thrown at the child, and scenes with violance against teens)I would give examples directly from the book that would make more sense, but I don't want to give any spoilers for future. I also wanted to say that there isn't anything like sex scenes or suicide, but this isn't for kids either. I won't be using the mature rating because it is not directly made for adults, or young kids. Again, it all depends on what you are aloud to read, or what you are comfortable with reading. Now with that out of the way, lets get to the description for the story itself. She never cared. That's what Hayden Hawksley thinks about his mother, and he wasn't wrong. After all of the years he was abandoned for Catherine's hook ups with men and bars he came to the realization that it wasn't to get money for the two of them, or to save up for something. Finally one day his mother gets tired of him being home due to his lack of friends and bullies and sends him to a Boarding school for kids in High School named: 'Emerald Boarding High'. But things go wrong when he realizes who his dorm mate his. The person he would have to spend his time with for all of High School. Jaxx Morningstar. The son of King Lucifer.

Just as he is about to discover true love for the first time and is overcoming the traumatic events of his past, he gets dragged into a war he has nothing to do with and yet it endangers everything he has worked so hard to built. If you are sensitive to topics such as abuse and rape, please skip chapters 4 to 6 for the graphic details.Complete
The Wizard and The Serpent (A Beauty and the Beast/Sanders Sides AU)
Janus Viper was once a handsome king, a cruel ruler that ruled his Kingdom with an iron fist. Even though he had everything he ever wanted since he was born (except, perhaps, love) he taxed his people relentlessly in order to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects, and his parties with the most powerful people. One day, a weak and homeless old man visits Janus, seeking shelter from the storm. Janus turns the man away, repulsed by his appearance, and as punishment, a curse is placed on Janus and his castle. Janus is turned into a monster, with six arms, claws, venomous fangs, and scales covering half of his body. The servants of the castle and all his guests were turned into furniture, as punishment for sitting by and doing nothing while the Prince grew into the cruel King he is today. However, there is a cure for the curse. If Janus can learn to truly love another and be loved in return, the curse will be cured. As the years went by, the castle and everyone in it became forgotten, and Janus lost hope. For who could ever love someone as cold and monstrous as him? Meanwhile, in a small village nearby, a Wizard named Logan Foster is looked down on by his town for his startling intelligence, difficulty in social situations, and his practices of magic. That doesn't deter Roman Prince from attempting to court Logan, however, because even if he is odd, Logan is the most handsome man in the village, and Roman has always enjoyed a challenge. Not wishing for his son to be alone, Patton Foster agrees to give Roman his blessing. Logan, who doesn't wish to get married, runs away from home. He plans to build a cabin in the forest and live the rest of his days there, but instead he finds a castle, where he is invited to stay as a guest. (Yes changing the captive part you're welcome) He isn't sure yet who the Castle's Master is, but based on the talking furniture that allowed him to stay here, he assumes it's a fellow Wizard.

Rise Up And Take A Shot
Cover art dose not belong to me! It's whoever made it and I wanna say it looks AWESOME Alexander is really messed up. He has anxiety, depression, and is mute. By choice. He's also an orphan, and he's been bouncing around foster homes since he was about 11. In all of them, he's been abused, one way or another. He's been in about 7 different homes by now, and his current one doesn't seeeem so bad. But you never know. He's 14, and and has been jumped ahead a few years in school. He will face many struggles along the way, but he will rise up above them to take his shot. And one day, he will blow us all away. Note: There is swearing, talk of abuse and suicide, some abuse (not a lot! only a LITTLE), and some school-level fighting so basically maybe just a fist fight or two. And I think those are the only things that are going to be this XD so don't worry! Oh and some gayness. Not a lot, just kissing. Enjoy!!! (Lol there's not really any plot plot, it's just me messing around and making a fun little Hamilsquad in school story that I hope you guys like) Started: December 7, 2019Complete
Blue Beanie
Asher never fits in.. he hides everything from everyone because he knows nobody wants to hear what he wants to say. He never had a loving caring family like everyone else does he in fact he has the complete opposite so what will he do when he finds the boy that's turns his depression upside down. Someone to truly care a lot about and someone you think about when your at your limit. But we all have secrets we hide and never want to show not even to the kindest soul. So what will they do to trust each other? What will they do to the extent between love and friendship? And what will Asher do when the only person that ever thought about him leaves his sight... *SMUT, GAY, ABUSE WARNING (smut at last chapter)* I mean there is nothing wrong with gays but if your homophobic I suggest you stay away lol ---------------------------------------------------- Hey author speaking! Just wanna point out tips if you interested in reading :D •don't read to fast you might miss out on something~ •There will be some boy action so if you don't like smut or if your homophobic then I suggest you dodge that chapter when it is made~ •Asher house is outside of town sorta like the deep suburb but deeper and there are no houses around for a few mintues out. But keep in mind that his house is only about one long block away from the school~ •the pictures in the beginning chapters and future chapters might have visuals of the characters and setting appearance so don't miss out on that~ Well that's all the tips I have for now but if your confused on something or spot a error please feel free to comment! Thank you for reading Blue Beanie ~~~~~ \(•_•)/ Oh and I don't own the photosComplete
Light (old version)
~old version, look at the other one~ Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'? I SHLD BE ADDING TRIGGER WARNINGS here it goes (takes a deep breath) Graphic violence & torture Psychological abuse & manipulation Captivity & imprisonment Forced servitude Self-destructive behavior Blood, injuries, chronic illness / disability PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, dissociation, body dysmorphia (Listing some of Jas's mental illnesses out like a cake recipe) Death of family members / execution Power imbalance & morally grey protagonist Subtle themes of toxic dynamics REALLY dubious consent Hopelessness and despair Moral corruption Implied sexual trauma Public humiliation & degredation Grooming undertones and control (i'm looking at u elios) Love as manipulation Self loathing&blame Panic attacks Execution scenes Confinement and starvation
