A soothsayer peaks through space and time to answer the question: is Frans Dahl dying or already dead?

----

Yashar Alizadeh wears many identities in the world. A professional dancer. A gay man. A perpetual expat. An adoptee. Most acutely, around  Frans Dahl, he feels like his grandmother's charge. His grandmother--the crone, the sage, the soothsayer; the one who taught him how to recognise and ward against evil. When Yashar meets Frans he's confronted with whether to heed the practice he was taught as a child or to give himself fully to the 'real' world. The one in which he's on the receiving end of Frans' crush and Frans is just a man--not dead, not dying, but alive and seeking a potential future with him.


Soothsayer is a stand-alone M/M Urban Fantasy story approximately 14 000 words in length.


***
For readers of Eshgham Means Lover--yes, this story is about *that* Frans and Yashar. This is a prequel to Eshgham  but both can be read as stand-alones.

[ONC2024] Everyone can read minds except for Ethan Langdon. And Ethan Langdon has the dumbest (and cutest!) thoughts Lukas Hoffmann has ever heard. ____ Lukas Hoffman's life in Brambleburg is about as boring as you'd expect for a town where everyone can read minds. He's used to his routine of dusting the LPs at the record store where he works and helping out his grandma around the house. Nothing in Brambleburg changes. No one in Brambleburg changes. Until Ethan Langdon stumbles in with the soggy remnants of a paper map, asking for the quickest route to Berlin. Ethan, it turns out, doesn't have telepathy, and as aggravatingly inane as his thoughts are, Lukas hasn't felt the excitement of meeting a stranger since.... well, ever. And the more Lukas listens, the more he starts enjoying Ethan's cute thoughts about life, the universe, and Lukas's dimples. ____ Might bring to mind: "Cherry Magic" but set in a fictive European town where everyone except the love interest can read minds. ____ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024 using prompts 8, 75, 82, and 85. 8.

The alliance between the Red Stoichi Tribe and the Westerners has outlived the memories of any living Dakyre- it is as old as the realm itself. This is the story of how said alliance affects the lives of two Dakyres destined to be together. Faldrey, a water Stoichi Dakyre, loses his entire family in one day- on the day of the reoccurring Westian raids. Despite trying so hard to at least save himself, he's still gets captured and hoisted away to the Red Stoichi Tribe where he becomes a personal maid servant to the Young Mistress; the Young Tal Dane's twin sister. Eren, son of the Tal Dane, heir to the Throne of Fire, and Young Tal Dane of the Red Stoichi Tribe, finds himself powerless against what has now become the norm in the realm. Unable to get his father to reconsider their alliance with the Westies, he pays the ultimate price for speaking against them in the presence of the council of Lords. Eren and Faldrey, the eighth reincarnations of Alistair and Theobald; two cursed Ao lovers, are about to experience their first raid which wouldn't just bring them together, it would change their lives forever. A vengeful Dakyrian army, one never seen in the realm, is coming for the Tal Dane, and two lovers stand at the risk of losing everything they've built together. What does fate have in store for these two Dakyres a realm and a heartbeat apart? •Make sure to read the well detailed preamble in the book.• _________________________________________________________ NOTE: Dakyres are "people of old magic" I came up with whilst eating a bad combo of pringles and ketchup at 3am. I implore you to give this story a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed. Make sure to check the comprehensive glossary at the end for whatever confuses you.

Elizha Hashmi has been struggling with studying for the longest time. Especially in chemistry. Which is a bummer for her, since she is one of the best students in class and she cannot, under any circumstances, look like a fool in front of her peers. She needs help, and her next-door-neighbor Soroush Hakeem is more than happy to do just that. But Elizha is too proud to get help. Especially from Soroush Hakeem. He may be her first crush, but his father is also the reason why Elizha and her mother moved from a great life in the UK back to their home country. And Soroush Hakeem loves his father to his core, something that makes Elizha want to punch her first crush and the elder brother of her first friend. At the same time, she is confused about her lingering crush on him, especially because he always goes out of his way to help her. And her darling friends make it even worse by constantly shipping those two together with #eroush. Bummer, right? But despite the confusing feelings, Elizha needs Soroush, as he helps her navigate her mental battles and also grows her connection with her faith.....and himself. Soroush also needs Elizha Hashmi too. For there are four levels of happiness discovered by the philosopher Aristotle and they both could very well be each other's Sublime Beautitudo (Ultimate Happiness). Or, they could very well end up being each other's ultimate destruction by letting their family and stubborness come first. (((((Two days a week unless I have exams, family emergency or DIE!!! ))))) WARNING: MAGIC AND FANTASTICAL ELEMENTS WILL BE INVOLVED. I simply do not know how to write a story without adding fantasy to them.....so yeah....you might end up seeing fairies too!!!!
