These are short stories I have written. Below are a few samples. 

Flying came naturally to her as breathing. In the sky, the scornful remarks and fearful whispering faded as the song of the wind echoed in her ears. She knew she was the best, although it was never spoken aloud. She knew they depended on her for the protection she freely offered. Yet her mind roved, searching for an answer that eluded her innocent mind. Why did they hate her?
*~*~*
"No, Fancy," he dryly said, "Knights were made to protect people, not idiots."
*~*~*
All of Korenth bows before me. Long have I strived for this moment. ...Sorcery does wonders for people's respect.
*~*~*
She was like a coiled spring. Any second, any trigger, she could unleash. She was dangerous.


You send me a writing prompt, and I'll write it. They'll be short stories, between 500-4,000 words. If I get feedback and people like it, I can make it longer.

Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.

"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!

My mother's eyes never held love for me, not since that fateful day when I turned eight. I often wondered why - was it because I struggled in school, or maybe my appearance reminded her too much of my sister who slipped away from us? But no, it was something deeper. At six years old, I buried my childhood, trading it for endless hours of studying, perfecting every skill, every trait, every move - all to become the flawless daughter my mother coveted. But every time she looked at me, her gaze would linger on my face, and I knew - I was still just a replica of my sister. My neighbors would glance over, admiration sparkling in their eyes, but she didn't notice.Trophies gathered dust in our living room, but she remained blind to them. My cooking could impress even the most discerning palates - but she never tasted it. The vacation I won through a writing contest? Just a distant memory, overshadowed by her indifference. Until that day, the mail arrived, and everything shifted. Inside the envelope lay an admission letter to NASW - a school owned and operated by the government. People whispered about NASW in hushed tones, fearing its name like a bad omen. Only the gifted and intelligent walked its halls. I approached my mother, letter trembling in my hand. Her response? A casual shrug. No excitement, no pride - just a monotone voice telling me I was going. My heart sank, but I didn't let tears fall. I swallowed my hopes, my dreams of a happy family, of a mother who loved me unconditionally. I accepted her words silently, no complaints, no begging - just a mask of obedience. That was the day I understood - I was never her flesh and blood, never her real child... just a clone. My birthday arrived the next day, but there were no celebrations - only a suitcase packed by my mother, a ticket to the airport. I remember smiling faintly and making her a promise: I would bring her daughter back to her. Little did I know, that promise would become my everything...

BENEATH THE MONSOON SKY

99 parts Complete Mature

"I can't let you go," he whispered. "Not when you love me too." She didn't speak. Her breath hitched, lips parted, her entire body tense with emotion. He pulled back just enough to look at her, his hands still cradling her face with trembling care. His fingers brushed her jaw, lingering like he was afraid to lose even the feel of her skin. "When you look at me like you did just now... when you say you love me... it's the only time I've ever felt like I belong somewhere. Not as someone's son or someone's brother. Just as me." .......... In the quiet town of Mayilur, where the monsoon rain dances on tiled roofs and childhood friendships bloom beneath mango trees, two neighbouring families share more than just a lane - they share a lifetime of memories. Vaishnavi and Karthik, bound by years of playful banter, shared school days, and family ties, are caught in the gentle current of something deeper - a love that neither of them fully understands yet. As they grow up side by side, their bond is tested by distance, duty, and the expectations of tradition. Authors note: This story is loosely based on the events in my own life. It gives me a LOT of pain to write this, but it's something that needs to be done, as a part of my healing process. I don't know if anyone would read this, if you do, please like/comment. I'd be happy to reply. :)
