Infectious Crimson (M. Yandere x Fem. Reader) by Cloakedranger

This is the prequel to "The Infectious Series." The first book in the series is "Infectious Intent," second is "Infectious Devotion" and third is "Infectious Submission." I would recommend reading the series before reading this book. It isn't needed to understand what is going on within the story, but it might spoil a few things if you decide to read this first before the trilogy. (F/n) (L/n), an apprentice to her mother for the art of weaving, stumbles upon a group of knights with her friend Jacob when they're seven years old. She encourages the knights to have safe travels due to the war occurring at the time, and one of the knights leaves a token behind for her as a means of thanks for her wish. Becoming fixated by this token, (f/n) strives to improve her craft all the more in hopes of one day meeting this knight and having a gift to present him back as her own token of thanks. In doing so, however, she unknowingly causes a hatred to brew within her village of Levonshire. Is it a matter of if the hatred will strike, or is it a matter of when will the hatred make its lasting mark on the village and (f/n)? I do not own the cover picture and videos (content within videos, etc.) used in the story. I do own, however, the story, its plot, characters, etc. So, please don't steal; thank you, and I hope that you enjoy the story.

Foxtale by ldnoirewrites

A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera. Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty. Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn't ask for this, nor the trouble that followed. There's no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking. • Animalfolk leads in a world of men • Found family beneath the ruins of an empire • Reluctant Mentor and Reluctanter Apprentice • High Magic meets Low Fantasy • Character First Worldbuilding with vibe-based Storytelling Oh and uh, cover is temporary. Better than AI art, it's deranged, its Foxtale. ====================================================== Book is officially finished! Details of what's to come next attached at the end of chapter 48. Thanks for reading and supporting the story!

The After Effects by NotTheMainCharacter

After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.

Crimson Tide: Under the Ashen Veil. by ZANIAWADEFICTION

"The gods are silent. The surface is ash. And something ancient just opened its eyes underground." Beneath the shattered remains of the old world, survivors live by the light of dying ley-lines and the brutal order of the Guilds. Kaelen Vire, a mercenary with a haunted past, and Rook Dastan, his wolf-blooded companion, expected another job. What they found instead was a child-abandoned, ley-sick, and impossible. The boy shouldn't be alive. He hums with magic that should not exist. And the deeper they go, the more the world bends around him. Now pursued by cult fanatics, hunted by relic-born horrors, and tangled in a prophecy no one remembers writing, Kaelen and Rook must decide: save the child, or survive the world that wants him forgotten. The Stones are stirring. The Ashen Veil is watching. And something lost is calling itself home. Author Note: "It explores identity through queerness, loss, and transformation. The world of Emberdeep and beyond is not safe. It is brutal, beautiful, and dripping with myth made flesh." CONTENT DISCLOSURE: CRIMSON TIDE - THE ASHEN VEIL This story contains mature themes including post-apocalyptic survival, body horror, psychological trauma, cult manipulation, interdimensional war, and the existential burden of inherited power. Viewer discretion is advised for depictions of violence, grief, and magical corruption. This is not a tale of heroes-it is a chronicle of chosen scars and the price of remembering.
