All That's Forgotten
Amabilia Rinaldi wants absolutely nothing to do with the Eighth Domain. She ran for a reason. She's content with what she's created for herself in the Real World-her temporary job, temporary loves, temporary life. But after five years and a sudden series of reoccurring nightmares depicting her mother's death, Amabilia is forced to make a decision: return home to the scrutiny of her people or let her mother die without ever knowing why. With great reluctance (and a lot of resistance) Amabilia's unexpected return home is met with confusion as she discovers that although her world may appear unchanged, below the lies and secrets is a society on the precipice of total downfall. With the aid of unlikely allies and well-intentioned old friends, Amabilia is left to mend the world she despises and uncover all that's been forgotten.Complete

[Discontinued] Oh, my Emperor! (Yandere Emperor x reader)
(Yandere Emperor x reader) Upon a near-death experience, you were running for your life from a killer who you rejected on top of a bridge only for it to collapse beneath the two of you, transporting you both into another world filled with a medieval fantasy fan's dream. Magic, horses, knights, royalty, nobles, and even mythical creatures! A world you would have never perceived as possible unless through fiction. Upon you and your killer's entrance, you both were greeted with the presence of an old emperor and a young prince-one being cautious, and another being curious. They immediately arrest your killer and took him away to the imperial prison and sentenced him to the gallows as a potential dangerous threat to the empire's safety. The others are wary of your presence and hope you are not like him. Most were curious about what kind of person you are whereas others did not take your appearance kindly. Among those who are curious is a handsome young prince whose eyes finally light up after years of mediocrity. Throughout the years, the people of this planet of Valtoria have been plagued with a dark king who is terrorizing the people of the planet and it is up to the prophesied Saintess who appears from another world to save everyone. You, on the other hand, would much prefer to go home... (I don't own any pictures used; cover is from ENA. Inspired by Empress of Another World and A Capable Maid.).Complete
