Elyren has long been a mythical person, a manifestation of the countless stories and great deeds rather than an actual man. But as a friend, I have taken it upon myself to honor his life, detail the minutiae of his childhood, his adolescence as a warrior, and as a hero the world claimed as its. His life was one of virtue, and valor, and yet death did claim him as it does to all others who succumb to passion. Herein shall lie Elyren, glorified by my words, while I rest my conscience, four hundred years following his death.

Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacakeComplete
Bliss in The Abyss
In the far future, anchored in the Atlantic Ocean, the city of Magna Hortus rises like a monument to human ambition-its vast walls towering above the sea, its foundations sinking into an abyss without end. Within its layered expanse, millions of lives unfold in fragile equilibrium, bound together by innovation, myth, and the quiet assumption that the boundary between life and death is absolute. It is not. Across the city, something has begun to slip. The dead are no longer content to remain distant. Whispers bleed into waking life. Memories distort. Systems falter under the weight of things that should not exist. As the unseen presses closer, an older question resurfaces with violent urgency: what does it truly mean to be alive-and who has the right to claim it? That question fractures the world. Radical movements rise, some seeking to grant personhood to artificial minds, others determined to deny it at any cost. Ancient forces stir beneath the surface, their motives obscured but their influence undeniable. And beyond it all, distant observers turn their attention toward Magna Hortus-waiting for proof that humanity is either worthy of survival... or ripe for extinction. Caught within this convergence are lives that should never have intersected: a man bound to the will of the spirits he cannot escape, a returning matriarch whose legend has outgrown her humanity, and a ruler of flesh and science who has long since abandoned the limits of both. Each carries a different answer to the same impossible question. And as the city begins to fracture under the weight of those answers, one truth becomes increasingly difficult to ignore: The line between the living and the dead was never meant to hold.

White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Complete

Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.
