"Before the time of kings and queens,
Before ordinance came to dwell,
The gods built a kingdom by the river:
Great Enid, standing strong and well."
Mina Blackwell is alone, etching out a half-life by performing in the streets and paying dues. Life has spared little kindness, and in the face of greedy collectors and fearsome knights, she wonders if she'll ever manage to stand strong. But with whispers of hidden magic and an ever-searching king, trouble may come to find Mina in ways she never could've imagined.

Alicon
"Listen to me, Fay," he says gently, his voice softening as he steps back towards her, placing his hand on her cheek, his touch warm and reassuring. "That is exactly the reason that I have to do this." He looks deeply into her eyes, his own filled with conviction. "Nobody deserves to get hurt for nothing. A life is a life that's meant to be lived, not taken away." The Kingdom of Alicon, often dismissed as a mere myth by most, was a realm steeped in enchantment and mystery. This extraordinary land was divided into Four distinct Kingdoms, each ruled by a King-Brothers who, despite their shared blood, harboured their own ambitions and desires. At the heart stood Fay, Alicon's most formidable Witch. Known far and wide for her unparalleled mastery of the arcane arts, she was not just a protector of her kingdom but also a beacon of hope for her people. As she prepared to plunge into the depths of the looming conflict, Fay steeled herself for the trials ahead. Her heart raced, fueled by a potent mix of determination and dread. Would she be able to protect them? Would the bonds of brotherhood among the kings withstand the storm brewing on the horizon? Fay was about to learn that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought not just with spells and swords, but within the heart itself.Complete

Meet Me After Class
So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?Complete
The Siren's Shadow
Naia grew up believing she was ordinary - a human girl with a mother who spoke in riddles and a past wrapped in secrets. But when her quiet seaside town is torn apart by a magical attack, she's thrust into a world beyond her imagination: Umbra Academy, the Grand School of Magic standing at the crossroads of four realms - Light, Dark, Potion, and Human. Among angels, demons, and fae, Naia discovers her powers are far from normal. The academy's crystal marks her as Potion Realm, yet something inside her resists the classification - flickering between light and water, shadow and song. Whispers of an ancient bloodline follow her, and a mysterious mark on her wrist pulses with power no spell can contain. When Kael, a dark and brooding protector from the Dark Realm, saves her life, their fates entwine in ways neither understands. But secrets rise faster than trust, and a goddess from the depths - Lyra, daughter of the Sea God - arrives to claim Kael as her own. As Naia uncovers the truth about her lineage - the forbidden love between a siren and a great sorcerer, and the wrath of a god who wants her dead - she must decide what she's willing to sacrifice: her heart, her humanity, or the fragile balance of the realms themselves.Complete

Rogue
|ENGLISH| 'Those who judge don't understand and those who understand don't judge.' She was a picture of perfection, a saint in the eyes of the world, charming, graceful, and always in control. Her carefully crafted image earned her admiration and influence, but underneath it all, she craved someone who could see the real her. Then she met him. A delinquent boy with a cold, dangerous stare and a reckless streak, the kind everyone else avoided. He seemed like a frigid beast, sharp, intimidating, and terrifying. Yet, there was something... off. Beneath the wild exterior, he was simple-minded, a little clumsy, and painfully naive, a boy who could barely string a coherent sentence together when it mattered, yet somehow stole her attention. She quickly discovered his secret: he wasn't just one person. There were two Rogues, a timid, bumbling boy who fumbled through life, and a wild, untamable monster lurking beneath, capable of destruction beyond imagination. Meeting his other self was like staring at a stranger, yet the timid Rogue couldn't even remember what his dangerous half did. NOT EDITED YET On-going BlueSadism @2021
