SERPENTES by 1am_angel

Oneshots of various characters from mythology and religion being gay and having sex. That's all. CHAPTER ONE [SERPENTES]: "Did you want to be immortal?" Neither of the women noticed when the distance between them disappeared, and they were breathing the same air. Only now did Eve observe Lilith's golden eyes. They weren't one of a snake or a cat. Those were the eyes of an angel. Of a God. "No. I wanted to die." Eve and Lilith meet in Eden and fuck. It's just lesbian smut with a lot of symbolism and blasphemy, enjoy. CHAPTER TWO [ARANEA]: "I could show you how desperate you are" the knife suddenly disappeared, substituted by a hand and this resulted in yet another whimper. "I could show you, that I'm not" Arachne looked the goddess straight in the eyes. Aranea gets too confident because of her talent. Athena puts her in place.

After Time by Kei_Angelus

The writer was sitting in front of her computer, stuck with the writer's block, when her phone suddenly buzzed, showing the name of the one she missed the most. As the memories came back when she heard that voice she always loved, hundreds of questions lingered in her mind. But she had never gotten the chance to even form the words as the line cut off at the same time the explosions suggested that it might have been the end. Jo Narson was just a writer who was trying to finish her fourth book, while not being able to move on with her life without the color of her life. She never thought that she would have to run for her life. But the existence of Carra Mydleston right in front of her got her entangled with her past of hope and her present of survival. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Awards : 1st Place in The Creator's Choice Awards 2020 (LGBTQ+ Category) by @CreatorsChoice 2nd Place in The Eonia Awards 2020 (LGBTQ+ Category) by @EoniaCommunity Runner-up in Romance Awards 2020 (2nd Group) 2nd Place in Constellation Mini Awards (Romance Category) 3rd place in The Eunoia Mini Awards (Best Last Chapter Category) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cover design by @LuxRaven

That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.
