*Book One of The Accursed Chronicles*
August was a man from a normal world, living a mundane life until one night everything changed, and he was sent spiraling into a world stuck forever in winter, full of magic, creatures, and a curse that has grip over the land, a curse known as the Vale.
***
August has been plunged straight into the claws of a life polar opposite of the one he had been living. After stumbling into the hands of Gloom, a leader of The Remnant, August is bound to Gloom's side and is pulled helplessly into the turmoil of Laelmos. August wishes he could return home, but his purpose in Laelmos is much bigger than he first thought as he discovers he has been lied to his entire life. August is left to wonder whether his life will ever be normal again or if he will have to embrace his new reality that threatens to destroy him and those around him.

Unholy
For the past four years, Alexander has walked the halls of Unus Academy-a school of supernaturals, gods, and monsters alike. The rules are simple: conceal your identity, control your power, and never let your true nature show. Alexander expected isolation, but instead found something unexpected: real friendship. His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried. His secret is darker than most. And while his friends might seem loyal now, he knows what could happen when they learn what he really is. He's seen it before. No one's ever gotten close. Not until Mark. Mark is everything Alexander never expected: popular, confident, disarmingly kind. And for some reason, he's determined to become his best friend. With each shared secret and lingering glance, the walls Alexander spent years perfecting begin to crack. But some instincts don't die quietly. Which version of himself would he become? If he wants to hold on to this new life, Alexander must become someone else. Fate has other plans. Join in on the mysterious students of Unus Academy: where identities stay hidden; even from you. #2 fantasycreatures 12/19 #2 mxf 2/19/26 #3 comingoutofthecloset 11/19 *Will include mature words and descriptions of sex.

REPAIR ME (BWWM)
Completed ✅️ Nora desires two things, finishing her degree in creative writing and saving enough to finally be free from her mother's abuse. So she's not prepared for the unexpected meltdown of her one safe space on wheels or the silent brute mechanic who's chosen to repair the damages. What happens when Nora, who isn't seeking a relationship, falls into the orbit of Mr. Silent, James? The universe moves galaxies to bring the two into each other's worlds. James sets out to fix what is broken, but along the way, repairs so much more. ~~~ James let's go of me and spread my folds apart with his thumbs. I feel as he spits on my pussy and before it can slide all the way down he flattened his tongue rolling the center around my clit. Each circle around rubs his piercing in a way that feels like the best feeling imaginable. "Shit slow down." I beg because the way he's ravishing me feels too much. I try to move away from his mouth but James just holds me down, palm flat on my stomach. "Where do you think your going?" "Its too much." I plead to him. "You know what to say baby if you want me to stop." He pauses as if to create space for me to say my safe word. But I don't. "That's what I thought. Stay still and let me finish."

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieConcluida
To Look Beyond A Glance
"January Lee is the embodiment of an affair between sunlight and beauty." Her wild hair dances in the breeze like sunbeams, her energy is as bright as the midday sun, and her boundless curiosity mirrors the sun's relentless exploration of the world. "Narciso De Santis is an abstract masterpiece masquerading as chaos." At first glance, he's a whirlwind of contradictions - a man of few words. He's the quietest storm you'll ever encounter, radiating an aura of 'keep out,' yet beneath that rough exterior lies something greater. The sight of Narciso De Santis frantically dumping a blood-soaked duffel bag into her favorite spot- a secret creek in the woods- initially sent a jolt of panic through January. Dismissing it as her overactive imagination, January decides to move on. Then the whispers start - a local teen goes missing. Coincidence? Is Narciso De Santis truly a murderer? Is this a misunderstanding? Can January mind her own business? "There's something about the allure of darkness that turns a good girl on." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Started Writing: 01/10/2024 Published First Chapters: 12/13/2024 Finished: 04/14/2025 #1 slow burn 04/19/25Concluida

But forever shatters quickly when Abbot abandons him for another, leaving Léandre betrayed, heartbroken, and desperate for vengeance. What begins as a plan to destroy Abbot quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As Léandre delves deeper into the coven's secrets, he discovers he isn't the first Fledgeling to suffer beneath the Count's influence, and he may not be the last. When a group of his fellow Fledgelings become caught in the centre of a growing conspiracy, Léandre finds his priorities shifting from revenge to survival, protection, and uncovering the truth. At the same time, the Caeleste world continues pulling him deeper into its shadows. Ancient bloodlines, hidden histories, and long-buried secrets force him to confront unsettling truths, not only about Abbot, but about himself, and with every revelation, the life he thought he understood begins to unravel. Caught between old wounds and new loyalties, Léandre finds himself still yearning for the one thing immortality failed to provideーsomeone who will choose him and stay.

Trial Of Flame - Eidolon Academy Year 1 - SAMPLE ONLY
"The gods are dead. The bloodlines remain. And she's about to bring it all down." Rowyn Vale grew up on the wrong side of the realm - poor, half-starved, and pissed off at the world. Her fae parents ran relics, sold shadows, and tried to sell her. She's used to surviving. Not exploding with ancient light and accidentally blinding a rich fae girl in the middle of high school. Now she's sentenced to death for a power she didn't ask for. But when a winged, arrogant disaster of a boy crashes through her prison ceiling and drags her into the sky, Rowyn learns the truth: she's not just some broken street fae. She's godblooded. Welcome to Eidolon Academy - a sentient university hidden in a pocket realm where every student is descended from a god, and each year ends in a deadly Trial that can kill you... or awaken something worse. Survive the Trials, and ascend. Fail, and vanish forever. And if the rumors are true? Rowyn isn't just another godblood. She might be the heir of the Godkiller - the one being powerful enough to raise the Pantheon. Let the Trials begin. Let the realm burn. This is a sample only! Thank you!

Rescued by a hunter, he molds himself into one of the best warriors of Cascadia. Impressed, the queen gives him a direct order to kill a traitor to the kingdom: the crowned prince, Dove. As a reward, he is offered a potion that would bring back his lover from the dead. Despite being the sole heir, Dove has been relegated to the role of a servant by his stepmother. Neil could not bring himself to complete the task when their paths crossed. So, they join forces, facing challenging quests to collect seven items required to make the potion. The only catch? They need to do so before the last shard of the mystical glass painting falls, as the potion would then expire. As the clock ticks, Neil is left to make a choice. Will he betray the young prince and become the hero of the kingdom, or try to complete an impossible task with the risk of facing a lifetime of cruelty in the dungeons? ________________ Second draft editing was done with the help of @eacomiskey.

Destined Rivals, Fated Lovers
In the snowbound lands of Gusu, King Lan Wangji is feared for his icy silence and merciless justice. For him, rules are sacred-and dark magic is an unforgivable crime. Far away in the forgotten village of Yiling, Wei Ying lives a simple life-cheerful, chaotic, loud, dramatic, and way too charming for anyone's good.and also hiding a tiny, forbidden magical secret (okay, maybe not so tiny). He protects his people . To his small clan, he's not only a king-but a savior. When Gusu declares war on Yiling, the silent king and the theatrical troublemaker are forced to face each other. Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate? Fate has a wicked sense of humor. This is a BL (Boys' Love) fantasy filled with comedy, romance, mystery, overacting, and unapologetic flirtation. If you're ready for chaos, cuddles, and conflict-welcome aboard. The characters may resemble real people, but they are entirely fictionalized and do not reflect the real personalities or lives of any actors or individuals. Hate is not welcome here. Respect and kindness are always appreciated. Thank you for reading and supporting my very first story!Concluida

Thank you for writing it :) Fated mates usually don't interest me because it's kinda weird how people just fall in love with strangers, so I love how awkward and how real you made it seem here ❤️" - @CandyCrushDBConcluida
