A city of old brick buildings, rich history, and winding waterways.
Welcome to Soli.
In the city center lies a crescent-shaped island that houses a park hiding more than just a body. When a pregnant Dryad is found on the forest floor looking as though she belonged on an autopsy table, Sentinel Ashwyn Nyx is called onto the scene by the local Warden. Piecing together her death with the assistance of the Warden's team of young Officers, Ashwyn vows to see the end of the case and bring peace to the woman's family. But things aren't as they seem as small details start to unravel the pieces of the puzzle Ashwyn has put together.

The Sorcery of Ol'Hallow
All Sigma wanted, after successfully completing his latest Warlock hunt, was a bottle of liquor, the company of a couple of handsome men, and a good cigar to smoke in peace. But there's no rest for the Nullifier. In fact, his colleague Epsilon throws a new case on the table for him to solve. Sigma would rather avoid it, but the fact that it is not an official mission intrigues him, and when the woman confesses to him that the Warlock in question could be linked to the man's tragic past, he accepts without reservations. Sigma thus finds himself in a remote village on the western border of the Kingdom of Fhalls: Ol'Hallow. There, a brutal murder was committed, and was disguised as a robbery. The man begins to investigate, but the hunt for the killer turns out to be tougher than expected. Above all because of a young man, Ciaran Vonlawstock, who Sigma just can't get out of his head. There would be nothing wrong, if it weren't for two problems: Ciaran is already engaged, and is the main suspect in the murders that continue to pile on in the village. For the first time, after years of activity, Sigma faces the most painful crossroads in his life; should he follow the clues or his heart?Complete
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

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 04/19/25Complete

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again.
