Dive into a world full of magic and modernization. It's 2218 and magic has been a part of the world since the 5th century. With the rise of government and regulation, Magic Laws have been placed in effect to appease the people of the world. Every mage must have a license to use their magic outside of their homes but there are those who follow the dangerous path instead. Follow our resident mage (a magical person) Claire Dunsworth who becomes a NYC Mage Detective and her new partner the rugged Detective Raven Black as they investigate crimes of a magical nature.


Claire is a mage with exceptional magical talent if not too exceptional for the higher ups within the Guild that monitors all mages of the world. She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage  Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific. Under constant watch and scrutiny from the Guild, Claire now finds herself working side by side with a Black, the very family that was breed to become mage assassins, killing thousands of her people. The fact that the Black is also a handsome man does not help Claire's case at all.

Raven has nothing to do with his family and yet is hostile to Claire upon finding out she's a mage. He worked as a detective to make sure everyone had equal justice but when he got his new partner Claire his world is thrown upside down. Not only is she a mage whom he silently despises but she's also the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. As they work together and find a rocky truce between themselves they travel the city solving crimes with a magical association. Raven accepts Claire without cause while Claire lays her life down for the man who stole her heart. As they fall for one another a dark figure lerks in the shadows, plotting something sinister for our mage Claire. Could this dark figure perhaps have something to do with Claire's unclear past? Can Raven, a Black, somehow save this woman before she's taken from him forever?

The Outlaws by RTRMII
7 parts Ongoing Mature
When the tyrannical King of the rogue Court rises to power, chaos spreads across the land, and the only solution is a group of misfits who know no loyalty but to themselves. In a desperate gamble, the empire sends an unlikely team of prisoners to infiltrate the rogue Court and assassinate the King. Leading the group is Nightingale, a thief and exiled prince, haunted by his past, with only his fierce battlecat, Shadow, for company. Alongside him is Madam Macabre, a beautiful but deadly tiefling warlock who wields dark magic with grace and cruelty. There's Angus Mcloud, a brute of a barbarian, wielding strength that can shake mountains, and Rex, an 8-foot crocodile lizardfolk brawler with unyielding resilience. Azair, a dhampir magician, uses arcane trickery to manipulate and deceive, while Ellana, an elven huntress, was framed for crimes she did not commit. Finally, the enigmatic Hunter, a druid, brings primal fury to the group, transforming into a lion and possessing unmatched skills as a tracker and assassin. Bound by fate and circumstance, this ragtag band must put aside their differences to take down the King. As they plunge deeper into the dark heart of the rogue Court, each of them grapples with their inner demons, all while navigating dangerous politics, betrayals, and the growing realization that maybe, just maybe, there is more to them than being bad. But in the world of thieves, killers, and rogues, trust is a rare commodity, and loyalty is even scarcer. As they close in on their target, the question remains: will they complete the mission, or will they turn on each other before the job is done?

His Luna (HumanxWolf) | ✔ by NehaDarcy
42 parts Complete
| Highest rank #1 in Werewolf | Completed+Edited (This is only the first draft so there might be some mistakes here and there.) Spin-off to His Luna: The Prodigal Descendant * "A Wolf will be born so in time, To be mated to a woman who will be a human-- The human who can be a boon or a bane-- She will either bring the entire Wolf race together Or tear all the ties between them apart." It was a gory war--the place in complete ruins and chaos. A blood curdling scream was heard in the distance followed by wails of pain and desperation. The entire battleground was painted scarlet with the munted corpses littering the field. Amongst it all, there was a woman, unlike the rest surrounding her. She was maddened by her love and passion that left her bleeding as her body succumbed to the wound and she fell limp in her Mate's arms. The Alpha was driven into insanity as he held on to his unmoving Mate's frail body. The world seemed to collapse around him as he could see the life fading from the love of his life's eyes. The smile of content on her lifeless face, haunting him, taunting him as all he could do was scream for her to return to him. How will their lives turn out when destiny brings together an egoistic, arrogant but somehow charming Christian King and a headstrong and equally proud woman, Tiara Summers who has quite a few secrets in her bag? * Do not promote your works on my story. That is very rude and disrespectful. Those comments will be deleted as soon as I see them. P.S. Bear with me, I started writing this when I was 15! * Cover_credit:- @A_BookieMonster (isn't it amazing? <3 ) Started : 20/08/2016 Completed : 31/12/2017 Edited : 22/11/2018 [200,000-220,000 words]
Kissing the Devil Goodbye by Bellisima1009
15 parts Complete
Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"

"Twenty seven years ago, Witches came out from hiding. Tired of being misunderstood, of being told as scary bedtime stories to kids, and being offended every Halloween by some green-faced girl knocking on their door, they opened their whereabouts to the public. Unfortunately, the peace treaty they signed came a bit later, but now we've integrated into their society. Magik stores are neighboring Shopmarts. It's pretty fair by today's standards. We have our magik, and they have their electricity, their technology, their science... I suck at science." Crow is a rebellious young Witch in a world full of social changes. Riots are always out in the streets, laws are changing left and right to make way for new magik, but honestly, Crow has bigger things to worry about. Every witch has one power, unique to them, and he should have figured it out already. He's not even sure if he wants to know anymore. Maybe he could just forget it all and become an archeologist like he's always dreamed of. However, when he is found to be the last Apothecary, a long forgotten way of magik, he is flung full-force into the world of Witches, and from there, all the politics he's tried so long to avoid. Now he must pick a side, Human, or Witch, before their fight destroys everything and everyone he cares for. THE AMAZING COVER WAS MADE BY STORMRIDDEN! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr
53 parts Ongoing
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
