A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way. CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language, detailed sexual content (all consensual), discussion of sex work.Complete
The Life of a Villain
Aren't you ever tired of the same old super hero story? The hero is cool looking with bulging muscles, and always wins. Like, always. Even if the situation is dire and it all seems lost. All the sudden, freaking deus ex machina. And the villain is either some super nerd, or a loser. Do you have any idea how stereotypical that is? Hero=jock/bully. Villain=nerd/loser. But not this time. This is a new story. The Life of a Villain. Part 1: This is a story about Leonardo Sutton a.k.a Knifeslinger, an 18 year old villain out for revenge for his family's death. He goes undercover at Ravenswood Academy where he meets new friends and old friends, and an evil plot that could shake the world. Part 2: Life was finally starting to settle down(ish) in the few days of freedom, but of course normality can't be something for ex-villain Leonardo Sutton. When an alien invasion is imminent, Leo must be Knifeslinger again, and work with Team Amazing to stop the Disastrous Nuclear Anthropoid and his planet of people. #1 in #supervillain 7/5/2020Complete
Ophuthis: Unfaltering Fidelity
Demise and despair, spoke the World. Aided by the tribulations and Tartarean of Reality. Knowing that, persistence and tenacity, the people still professed notwithstanding. The races forlorn, impotent and insignificant. What more could they oppose against a Supreme? Proved across the world his puissance once, now he awakens to complete what he had already begun. With the scars of the past still lingers, how could the rest react to the omnipotent? Nay iniquitous omnipotent? Peril is nigh to the people. Despite their futile resistance, it is still disheartening to know that the dastardly remains superior. Should they lose, they know that sempiternal dolor awaits them. The world dances in the hands of the flagitious Ophuthis. Truly, there is no other way, but to either perish, or swear Unfaltering Fidelity unto the Great One. What way must one choose? --Foreword-- This is me about a year from completing this volume, needless to say, I have no plans on expanding this story further though I left the story with a lot of loose ends and by no means a fully flushed ending. This story was also my very first take on writing fantasy, and novels for that matter. Which is why, please expect some amateurish way of writing, and please tread with caution, patience and understanding. I have made and tried several other separate stories apart from Ophuthis, experimenting with different themes, characters, setting and timeline, with my way of conveying words better and better with each new story. I have no plans of putting any of those works here on Wattpad however, as I still think I can muster an even better story fit for this platform. My time's still young, with a lot of fronts to grow as an author and writer. Hopefully, if fate wills, all shall align. Thank you, and have a fun read.Complete
The Chronicles of Arnora: The Curse of the Blood Moon
The Curse of the Blood Moon In the Zemorian Empire, monsters aren't just born-they're made. Under the iron fist of Emperor Zandar, the laws of nature have been discarded. In secret laboratories and forgotten towers, the Empire is perfecting the unthinkable: a race of human-vampire hybrids designed for a war that will set the world of Arnora ablaze. When a close friend is taken by these abominations, Owin-a Slayer with a mysterious power building behind his eyes-and Aqua Moonfall, a high-ranking mage, must lead a desperate rescue mission. Their journey will take them from the shifting halls of the Elysium Tower to the fortress of Whitestone, where they must face the Four Generals of Zhagos, each a masterpiece of dark evolution. But as the Blood Moon rises to its zenith, the group realizes that the greatest threat might not be the army of hybrids outside their door, but the secrets hidden within their own party. In a world where light can be as destructive as darkness, the price of victory may be higher than any of them are willing to pay. The hunt has begun. The moon is bleeding. And no one is safe. Book One is finally complete, please look forward to Book Two, The Chronicles of Arnora: The Zemorian Invasion! *If any names in my story are that of real world people it's completely coincidental, I use a random name generator, which creates countless names, to help with the naming of some of my characters.Complete

Blooded Mate
[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS. I do not own the rights to the images in the chapters.
