Hades by Sehhhhhhhh

They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats?

Ruthless by dyysfunctional_bitxh

Ruthless. Her mother's eyes pleaded silently with hers, the brown pools blurring with anger and sadness, ❝They call you ruthless, Akira, you understand right? You need to stop this madness. Right this second-❞ She cut her mother off, turning the emerald ring that sat on her middle finger. A venomous laugh left the threshold of her rose tinted lips, ❝Every great story begins with a little madness, mother. And my story has just begun.❞ ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ ✾ Maharani Akira Singh - the one who was as invincible as the Goddesses that lounged above. Just as untouchable, just as drunk on power and just as oblivious to the darkness of the world that bubbled underneath her own two feet. Akira was the embodiment of the one in control - whether it was of herself or of the world she so elegantly ruled. But when you're a mortal pretending to be a God, nothing lasts. Your world will crumble and you will crumble with it - disintegrating into bits and pieces. You will be pushed off the throne you had been worshipped at and while Akira might be prideful, even knew it. She knew that one day her fall would come - taking down her reign and leaving her to rule the ruins. But what she didn't know was that it would come in the form of a man. A suitor, a foreigner, a quick-witted prince: Yuvraj Kartik chauhan. Life is never simple when you're royalty, especially when there are people ready to slice your throat at every turn, every downfall and every place where darkness falls. So what will you do? Will you build up a wall high enough to ward everyone off, succumbing to your own loneliness? Or will you trust the one person you weren't supposed to? ✾ ------------ [Trigger warning - Mentions of blood, gore and war.] [Word count: 40k - 50k] © dyysfunctional_bitxh [2021]

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

Adventure As A Snake Goddess by MAnonymus18

It was supposed to be an ordinary, peaceful day. All she wanted was to relax, grow a bit, maybe soak up some sun-nothing crazy after dealing with the past. It was her way to become a goddess. There were many memories and adventure that she went through but she felt it was time for retirement. But no, of course, fate had other plans. Instead of lounging around, she found herself to be hunted. Apparently, some ancient godly decree said humans had to be spared... which she found incredibly inconvenient. Stumbling upon many people who live and die over time. Until... Enter a tiny snake, full of righteous fury. "I want to kill all of you humans so much!" She hissed, shaking her little tail in frustration. She was currently trapped in the hands of a man whose eyes glowed with an unnatural light. He simply stared down at her, entirely unfazed by her threats. It was strange though that he had an odd scent on himself. "You want my deadly bite!" She added, her voice full of venom. Instead of trembling in fear like any reasonable person would, the man just looked... amused. Great. Out of all the humans, she had to get stuck with this guy who was still oddly strange.

The Princess and the Parthenogenic Peach by Cjoakley23

A story of sisterhood, duty, and a miracle that defies reason, "The Princess and the Parthenogenic Peach" blends royal intrigue with the timeless power of myth. In a world where royal bloodlines define power, Princesses Alyx and Seraphina of the Capfolcis Empire find themselves caught in a web of secrets, deception, and divine intervention. When Seraphina mysteriously becomes pregnant-without ever lying with a man-their family's honor teeters on the edge of scandal. To protect her sister from the wrath of their imperious grandfather, Emperor Titus, Alyx assumes Seraphina's identity and travels to the capital to marry a duke in her sister's place. As Alyx navigates courtly politics and an arranged marriage that was never meant to be hers, Seraphina remains behind, hidden in the Citadel and haunted by the impossible truth of her miraculous pregnancy. With the empire's future in jeopardy and whispers of divine prophecy swirling, both sisters must play their parts perfectly-or risk the collapse of their dynasty. But with each passing day, the truth threatens to unravel, and the sisters must face the ultimate question: Can they trust in the divine plan, or will the weight of their deception bring them both to ruin?

For the Good of the World by ostromn

Via Astralis is a daughter of Chief Navigator Patria Astralis, the planetary governor of the Trappist-1E Colony in the Aquarius constellation. As the sixth person in line for the governor's seat after her mother, Via knows that she will never rule, but she has always longed to serve. A keen student of the law, she's just become one of the colony's two detectives, but with only 500 people to oversee planetwide, the job promises to be rather uneventful. When an Ancient scientist is found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning, Via sees a chance to make a name for herself as a real homicide detective. But first, she must convince her boss--dear old Ma--to let her take the case. Unfortunately, Patria doesn't see anything of concern about the death and won't let her open a formal investigation without stronger evidence of foul play. Then Via's grandmother Kaitlyn, another Ancient, dies in her sleep. Now, Via is determined to get to the bottom of who is killing Ancients, and why. To solve the murders and find justice for the victims, she must find her grandmother's consciousness in Trappist-1E's virtual reality Caeles, where the minds of the dead are uploaded at the time of death. There is only one hitch in her plan: to investigate, Via needs her mother's permission... but Via's mother is her prime suspect.

Iris by TaylorBarlow951

“Look, whoever you are-” “Michael. And who are you?” he interrupted. Rude. “Michael. My name is Iris, Bonnie is indisposed at the moment, so my father sent me. I’m sure I can pass along any information so Bonnie can do whatever it is she does. How can I be of assistance?” I try to be polite as possible by putting on a sincere smile but my efforts are useless since his face is still marred with a nasty look. “Are you Hades' daughter?” He asked. “Something like that, yeah. What is the reason for your visit Michael? I know it's not to investigate the river of lost souls so what do you want?” This is how Bonnie talks right? Get down to the situation at hand. “There is a commotion in the heavens. As im sure you know, I am Zeus' right hand man so im pretty in the know of everything going on. Supposedly there's- a lost heir if you will. See, Zeus claims to have been pursued by a strange woman who looked similar to his significant other, and he believes that a child was spawned.” It all starts with an alliance. Iris is a girl in a sticky situation. She's also about to find out that she has been lied to her whole life and that everything she knows, even about herself, is a complete lie. She meets Michael, one of the most powerful men on Olympus without being a god himself. When he comes to the underworld asking questions he shouldn't be asking, Iris strikes a deal- a deal that changes her life forever. After her meet- her whole world is turned around and flipped upside down. Book by: Taylor Barlow AKA TaylorBarlow953 Original cover by: 4evadatrueme
