Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1]
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor.

The Envoy of Darkness
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

There are lots of flashbacks with dates attached to connect the story along the way. It's just the way I like it. Therefore, this story will be heading into the future as well. I hope you'll understand why I did it like this. If you don't like it, then oh well, read something else. **Things are going to be different compared to their real lives (obviously). You'll immediately notice that Sam and Kat are still together in this storybook world because I love them too much. There's other things that are probably inaccurate but just go along with it please. I'll do my best to keep on track. ***There will be dirty scenes in this story along with vulgar and inappropriate language and drug use. There will also be triggering events mentioned such as SA. There will be NOT warnings at the beginning of the chapters that involves such activities. Therefore, READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED!Complete
Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue
The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder).

Redrum ~ Sam Golbach x reader
Use they/them pronouns Uses strong language, if you are uncomfortable with swears, don't read No smut, I don't feel comfortable writing it. WARNING - This is my first book, and I'm quite new. Please don't judge me a bunch. I will take constructive criticism. Also, this book does not follow Sam and Colby's real life timeline. They will still be living in the apartments well also going on investigations with Amanda. I need to adjust things to work with my storyline, so sorry if that upsets you. YNs 20th birthday was coming soon, so their friend Aria bought them two tickets to go to Sam and Colby's tour. Once they arrived, Sam couldn't take his eyes of YN. He felt connected to them.. somehow, and someway.
