Until 1973, the existence of supernatural creatures to the world what been unknown. They lived in secret, fearing the day of exposure. At time grew on and as technology advanced, it became harder and harder to stay in hiding. A privatized organization, devoted to proving their existence, was finally able to force them out of the shadows. Decades after this discovery, the shockwaves from the event still ripple into the present.

In 2019, the monitoring of the creatures had increased to such an extent that almost no creature could have their identity unknown. This brought retaliation, and with it increased the danger of human lives.

Founding member of the "Department of Supernatural Crime Investigation", vampire Aaron Lancaster must try to survive the new society all while trying to destigmatize his people. Not to mention his latest case assignment: the suspicious string of murders plaguing New York City.

50 parts Complete
She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°

Giovanni Caruso, a ruthless Italian criminal, had taken countless lives, his hands forever stained with blood. But his most audacious crime-the assassination of Cuba's president-sent shockwaves through the island, marking him as public enemy number one. Fleeing for his life, he found himself trapped in a land that would not let him escape, pursued by shadows at every turn. Yet even in this desperate moment, fate twisted in unexpected ways. Lucía López, a bartender in the heart of Cuba, appeared to be just another face in the crowd. But beneath the surface, she was a trained assassin, a killer with a singular mission: to track down the man who had slain her president. Neither she nor Giovanni knew the other's true identity, both hiding their secrets behind carefully constructed facades. He, desperate to escape from this hell; she, consumed by revenge. When their paths crossed, neither could have foreseen the dangerous pull between them. A forbidden attraction blossomed amidst the storm, love growing in the shadows of betrayal and bloodshed. But as their bond deepened, so did the peril surrounding them. Every step forward brought them closer to a fate they could not outrun-a love that might be their undoing. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and trust is a lie, Giovanni and Lucía find themselves in a game with no rules, no mercy. Their love is a gamble-a deadly dance of survival that could cost them everything. But with every choice they make, the stakes grow higher, and the darkness around them tightens its grip. Will they escape, or will the cruel hands of fate destroy them both? The twisted journey has only just begun.

'There was a stain on the floor that used to be a vampire, and Aaron Evans was starting to feel like he really wasn't being paid enough.' ***** Aaron is only in Supernatural Investigations for the pay. It's stressful and dangerous, and he's certain it's aging him beyond his years. When the remains of a high-ranking vamp from London's most powerful underground gang show up on his turf, even the excellent pay seems like poor recompense for trying to prevent all-out war in his city. All he has to work with are his wits, some stolen evidence, and an enigmatic vampire investigator who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Nikolai Meier is surly, uncooperative, but frustratingly competent, so Aaron has no choice but to make it work. But Nikolai has secrets, and those secrets may prove just as deadly as failure. *** #ONC2024 Entry for Prompt 56: 'In a world where humans and magical creatures coexist, a detective must solve a murder case that threatens to plunge the two communities into war.'
