The Envoy of Darkness
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next.

Even though she hears everything, one peculiar word always slips her mind... A word her mom whispers every time she is alone in her bedroom. On her eighteenth birthday, Alaia finally remembers this silly word and whispers it three times in front of an antique mirror. Gio, Gio, Gio. Suddenly, the surface ripples like water. Alaia panics and breaks the mirror before she is pulled into a dark dimension. However, the glass surface isn't the only thing that's broken: Alaia's heart is shattered, and its pieces are scattered across three different reflection worlds.

Lady Black: Blood Does Not Break
In a world still trembling from war and ruled by legacy, one girl slips between the cracks of history to change everything. Lyra Druella Black - the last free heir of the House of Black - was hidden, erased, forgotten. Born in shadow. Raised in silence. But as the world prepares for another war shaped by two men-Voldemort and Dumbledore-Lyra forges a third path: her own. While the wizarding world chooses sides, Lyra chooses family. She rescues Draco from indoctrination, claims Harry as her kin through Sirius' hidden will, restores her broken aunts, and dares to bring even Bellatrix back from madness. As she uncovers Dumbledore's buried crimes and topples Voldemort's dark empire from the inside, Lyra doesn't seek a throne-she builds a home. Rewriting bloodlines, rebuilding legacies, and refusing to be used by anyone, Lyra Black will not be another sacrifice. Because Black blood does not break. It rebuilds.Complete

Born of an angel father and a demon mother, Lyra spent sixteen years believing she was human-until the night the Demon Prince Malphas came to claim her. Now, bound to him by a soul-deep tether neither of them can break, Lyra is thrust into a war between Heaven and Hell she never asked to fight. Heaven sees her as a threat. Hell sees her as a prize. Both would destroy her to control the balance of power. But Lyra refuses to be a weapon for either side.

In a battle where love is both the greatest strength and the deadliest weakness... can she be the heir who unites fire and grace? * this story is still a work in progress. this is the roughest first draft, and chapters are subject to change until the story is officially finished. 🫶🏻
Reflection (Neverland Archives I)
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, You'll turn ruby as you fall... Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, No more fairest of them all... ~~~ Ebony lives in the Mirror Palace, where the Crystal Queen rules all she sees. At least, Ebony thinks she's alive. No one seems to be able to see her--not even Ebony herself, when she looks into a mirror. The only time anyone notices Ebony is during the day, when they walk past her in the gardens--or use her for various things, such as a coat rack or a convenient shadow-caster. During these moments, Ebony wants nothing more than to speak, to be heard--but Ebony can't speak, or move, or even breathe, because Ebony is little more than a statue, frozen in marble. She doesn't know why she comes alive after the sun sets, or why she can run all the way into the Faerie Forest and still find herself back in the gardens once the moon is gone. Ebony doesn't know much of anything at all, except that she loves Prince Castor, who spends every afternoon reading in the shade she casts, and that she fears the Crystal Queen. Ebony believes that she'll be trapped in marble forever, but with the arrival of Henric, a huntsman hired by the Crystal Queen to track a rare white hart, her fate begins to change...
