Burn the World for You
Rhaella is human. Azriel is Fae. The bond doesn't care. For three years, a mortal girl survived slavery by staying invisible and hiding the one secret that could kill her. She has magic. Azriel spent lifetimes waiting for his mate. And when he finds Rhaella, human, starved, tortured, barely breathing, the bond snaps anyway, devastating and absolute. And he makes a choice that changes everything. He burns her world down, slaughters everyone who hurt her, and refuses to let her go. Now a mortal girl must navigate freedom that feels like a new cage, a bond she never asked for, and an immortal male whose devotion terrifies her as much as it heals her. While Azriel learns that saving someone and healing them are two different things, and that sometimes love means giving back the choice he took away. In the dungeons of men, she learned what mercy costs. In the ruins of his faith, he learned what devotion demands. Some wounds don't heal with magic. Some require time, patience, and a mortal heart teaching an immortal warrior how to live, not just survive. He would burn the world for her. She will teach him how to live in what remains. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS 🕊️ This story contains graphic and emotionally intense themes, including: Slavery and systemic dehumanization Detailed depictions of torture and physical suffering The death of a child (traumatic and central to the plot) Severe medical trauma and body horror PTSD and realistic trauma responses Violence, including extreme and on-page violence References to sexual violence (none between main characters) Suicidal ideation and survivor's guilt This is a dark, mature story that explores trauma, survival, and recovery.

The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
