Ophelia has always seen creatures in the shadows that no one else could see. They stalked her through her native Rome and drew her into chaos. But still, she was never afraid of them, not until she was sent to the Institute.
There seems to be nothing left for her in Rome, except for her beloved sister who is suddenly losing her mind. Ophelia believes that her family is cursed and, after finding a mysterious letter from her long-lost father, she sets out to find him, hoping he can lift their curse and lead her to her sister's cure.
In her search she enters a world of magic, feuding families and far too handsome half-demons; a world that will steal her soul if she can't find a way to save her sister and herself.
All families have demons ... some are just more powerful than others.

Prophecy Of A Shadowhunter (TMI FanFic) #Wattys2017
Alessandra, is a four year old shadowhunter, that is a little more than a shadowhunter, in fact she is more angel than human. Her mother is an angel, her father is a shadowhunter, but with what she is holds a lot of responsibility, all she wants to do is protect and help people like her father does. What happens when she learns that Valentine is interested in using her as a weapon? Will she go willingly? Will she fight for freedom? How will she react when she finds out about a loved one that she never knew she had? Will it effect her decision? Alice is a strong being even for an angel, maybe too powerful for her own good, so what happens when she is betrayed by the one she loves the most more than once and in the worst way? ~ the storyline is my own. It is my first ever fan fiction, so there will be errors and mistakes. Most of these character belong to Cassandra Clare, the only characters that belong to me are Alessandra (Alice) and Camael. Not all of the characters will have the same background as Cassandra made them.~ Hope you enjoy! Started: 28th April 2016 Completed: 5th Jan 2017Complete
amants maudits | (hiatus)
When a powerful witch hunts the demons responsible for her parents' murder, she finds herself face-to-face with one of the very creatures she despises. But this demon is unlike any other. Dangerous, mysterious, and irresistibly charming, he offers her something no one else can-answers about her parents' death and the secrets of the dark forces that haunt her. As their paths intertwine, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never imagined. But trust is fragile, and the more she learns, the more complicated their connection becomes. Her mission for vengeance soon becomes tangled with her feelings for him, and a forbidden bond starts to grow between them-one that threatens everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and the demons she's vowed to destroy. In a world of curses and power, they are two souls bound by tragedy and fate. But their love, born from hatred and deceit, may be the very thing that destroys them both. Will she be able to choose between vengeance and a love that might just save her, or will their doomed connection lead to the death of them both? ----- Written for the Open Novella Contest 2025 Prompt 2 - To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist ----- Cover by @buterflx1 prologue at the end because of the prologue ban
City of Shadows
SEQUEL TO CITY OF SECRETS It has been three months since Ember Fairose defeated Jacob Ashwright, and the Shadow World has been lulled into a certain sense of peace, or so it seems. In the New York Institute, Ember is leading the seemingly perfect life-she is raising her ten month-old daughter alongside her fiancé, Jonathan Morgenstern, has her loyal parabatai, Isabelle Lightwood, standing by her side, and has the help and love of all of her friends and family, not to mention that everyone in the Shadow World seems to know her name and face. Ember is presented with new chances and opportunities, but finds herself feeling unsure of the ideas of the future everyone is creating for her. To make matters worse, a familiar evil emerges from the shadows, stronger than ever, calling Ember back to the battlefield. The hope of finally achieving peace in the Shadow World shatters, as does Ember's hopes of living a simple, uncomplicated life with her family. Suddenly the perfect life doesn't seem perfect anymore. Tensions appear in places she never thought possible when a person from Jonathan's past makes an unwelcome reappearance, shaking them to the core with a surprising revelation, and suddenly she finds herself questioning the only thing she never thought she would ever have doubts about. It's bad enough to live with secrets, but when shadows are added to the mix, darkness always follows, and, well- Facilis descensus averno. Yes, the descent into hell is easy, and if there's anything Ember Fairose has learned in the Shadow World, it's that we are all so much lovelier when we fall.

Whitestorm || a.l [DISCONTINUED]
"Nephilims" That's what they're called, beings that protect the mundane world from demons, beings that are half-angel and half-human. They only have one task, and that's to keep all demons at bay until the time arrives where they can slaughter all demon-kind. Ophelia Morgenstern is a shadowhunter who can't seem to get through a day without making a sarcastic remark. She's undoubtedly one of the best at what she does, but she's also the daughter of the most wanted man in the Shadow World. Alec Lightwood is a brooding shadowhunter with the tendencies of following the rules no matter what. He basically lives his life on the saying, "Sed lex, dura lex." which means "The law is hard, but it is the law." They've known each other for practically their whole lives, and they have always felt a burst of emotions around one another, but with the arrival of the "new" shadowhunter, their whole world flips on its back. With everything that's going on around them, will they gain sight of the feelings they truly have for one another?

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete

For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed. Along with their exasperated father and an overeager grocery store clerk, Perrin and Ace set out to raise a little hell and bag a trio of baddies. But demons aren't the only ones to fear. And as enemies close in on all sides, the Slates will need to trust each other and their training to stay one step ahead of the coming storm.
