Aseem Kirtley is a fifteen-year-old high school freshman who receives the rank of Peculiar on the Jedwimburgh Arklux (Magical Power) Exam. Due to this, he's abruptly expelled from Jedwimburgh High and immediately enrolled into the Peppermint Academy of Maids and Magic: an all-girl school where young women are instructed in the art of Magicae Ancilla (Maid-Magic).
Unbeknownst to him, his reason for enrollment is only a ruse cooked up by the city council, the Board of Mages and the Royal Family of Jedwimburgh to keep the truth from spreading all over town, which is what they've done for every young man ranked Peculiar going on two centuries.
On his first day at Peppermint, he meets the Student Council President-Julita Redburn-a seventeen-year-old third-year who is often tasked with showing new students around campus. Aware of Aseem's unique case, she takes express interest in him, eventually letting the cat out of the bag about what it really means to be ranked as Peculiar and the truth behind Peppermint Academy.

-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving.

Till Death Do Us Part
In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POVComplete

'I hate to admit it, but you ladies sure know how to treat a lady to a good fight. It's time to finish you all,' Katie said, in a calm voice, full of residual excitement. 'Now, it's my turn to launch my major attacks,' she said, moving towards them, casting a spell, prompting the battle ground to be slowly engulfed in mist, creating an environment saturated by tiny droplets of water. No movement went on it the mist that she didn't know of. Even the shrew that moved blindly in the mist, unafraid by the ongoing battle, didn't elude her knowledge, for in the mist, she was king. Shade and Alyona, who had both noticed their almost drained energy knew that they only had one thing to do, escape. Casting an astral avatar spell, each shot up out of the battle ground, only to smashed back in by an unknown force which materialized to reveal that they were all in a box. 'I didn't give any of you permission to leave,' Katie spoke up, smiling as she said so, striding slowly in the mist, approaching Elsa. 'Carpe noctem,' Katie whispered, restricting the movement of all who were in her created environment. Young Adrian must seek his place in an era he knows not of, seeking out his pillars from the four covens of magic, to aid in his quest to restore balance back to the realms, for he was once dead and knew death, for death bows in reverence and obedience to him.Complete![DELONIX [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/320463990-256-k570419.jpg)
DELONIX [COMPLETED]
First day of college: blow up a lab, awaken ancient magic, try not to fall for a vampire. ●●● Red Hathaway thought the worst part of her first day of college would be getting lost. Not blowing up the biochemistry lab. But the explosion was no accident-and neither is Red's life. For nineteen years, she believed she was just an ordinary girl navigating the chaos of school, bullies, and late-night movie marathons. But everything changes the moment her skin cracks with magic and something otherworldly stirs inside her. Red isn't human. She never was. Whisked away under moonlight to Mystic Academy, a hidden university for the supernatural elite, Red is thrown into a world pulsing with ancient magic and dark secrets. Elves with sharp smiles, witches who craft storms, vampires who thirst for more than blood-and werewolves who smell fear. Here, the monsters don't hide under beds. They share your dorm. As Red struggles to control her powers, she finds herself drawn to a dangerously irresistible presence: a seductive vampire with secrets written in blood and a gaze that sees straight through her soul. He might be the key to unlocking her past-or the reason she doesn't survive her future. But something darker hunts her. Something hungry. And if Red doesn't uncover who-or what-she really is, this new world might be the death of her. Magic is calling. So is danger. And Red Hathaway is about to find out what happens when both answer at once.Complete
Anomalous
{COMPLETED!!} Autumn is ordinary. Completely ordinary. She goes to school, gets yelled at by her mom, comes home, gets yelled at more; normal. One day, the chain of mundane breaks, when she comes home to find two teens with a pitch in her house. They invite her to live with them, where she can be happier. Autumn reluctantly agrees, but she still has mountains of questions. How do they know her name? Why have they come to her? And why do they all act so suspicious around her? These questions make Autumn realize that things aren't ordinary in her new home, either. Thanks to Leila, for proof-reading, brainstorming, and helping me with this book. She deserves much more than just having a character named after her. ((Inspired by Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children))Complete![Muse [h.s.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/238009251-256-k742844.jpg)
Muse [h.s.]
Golden Book Two Golden. My favorite song written off the album - the first song I wrote about her - Aurelia Moon. My golden girl. She's had me wrapped around my finger since the night we met. Our memories run on repeat in my mind everyday since I last saw her. She's the light of my life, my sun and moon. Only now, her gaze is not filled with light; her eyes are hard and glaring, and I'm at fault. My heart plummets and sinks in my chest but I force a smile on the outside. "Aurelia..." I say with a forced smirk. I love saying her name and I know she always loved hearing it. "Still my muse, even now." My heart quickens with hope when I see the goosebumps rise on her soft skin. Even after all this time. *mature and explicit content*Complete
Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos? I write the unhinged versions on AO3: sLilith200 🖤Complete
