[Formerly Featured!] Coming back from a vacation, with a gun pointed at her head was definitely not what Jean Saunders expected. Especially seeing a man flying around in the air, claiming to be the city's superhero. At least he wasn't wearing that embarrassing spandex outfit. Alas, due to her capability for getting into trouble, the city's superhero eventually recognises her and not in a good way, at all. Catching a superhero's attention is never a good thing. -------------------------- Opening and closing his mouth, he made some gestures as if he was trying to speak but he couldn't find the words to convey his message. "...what are you?" He finally managed to speak and I blinked my eyes at him. The heck? Does he think I am some sort of...alien? It's not like I'm some kind of weird species! What the heck does he think I am? "I'm human!" I said, narrowing my eyes at him. --------------------------Complete

This (Not so Special) Gift of mine
I am Rook, your average shut in NEET, who, surprise surprise, doesn't like to g outside often. Imagine my surprise when I find out that I have this type of Gift, where I am basically the ghost rider, but I found out I'm not the only one I know who has odd powers DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction, and take place within the world of Cursed (as I do not know if I should just retcon the story yet) as such, all locations, people, and companies are all owned by their respective groups (please look them up, I am too lazy to do so)Complete
The Cadre of Embers
•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women. Althea's life takes an exhilarating turn when she discovers her unique ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Upon first use of this newfound power, she is sought out by a hidden society of individuals with diverse abilities of their own. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for purpose, Althea delves into this enigmatic world, leaving behind the mundane pursuit of suitors. Within the society's embrace, she learns the intricacies of her magical abilities and the vastness of their universe. Yet, Althea senses that profound secrets still elude her, mysteries that might hold the key to her ultimate destiny. "The Cadre of Embers" is a spellbinding tale of love, empowerment, self-discovery, and the latent potential within us all. For those who yearn to escape the confines of ordinary existence, this is a journey you won't want to miss.

Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Convergence
"The realization and truth of my life confused me. My stepmother was actually my father. The man I knew as my father was really a stranger. I was half-demon and half-witch with the magic of both and primed to be the ruler of the magical world." When the always pristine perfect princess Karissa Parker is given a strange little book, she discovers that she is the descendent of a powerful demon-hunting witch and the book contains the magic of her ancestors. Before she even knows how to use it, a creature steals it from her. She and her protector, Ricardo Ortega, must get the book back if she is ever to inherit her mother's family magic. There's just one thing that bothers them. She's always had magic powers. Witches don't inherit their family magic at birth, but demons do. In a world where magic is real and the forces of good hunt the forces of evil, it's possible for hybrids to exist, those who must fight an internal struggle on which side to choose. Kari could no longer ignore the fact that magic and demonic creatures were real. After all, seeing is believing and she saw more in those first few days than she ever thought possible.Complete
