They overthrew a monarch for the sake of them all.
They turned to an 'extreme' form of government in order to gain stability in the hopes it would work.
They fell apart and are left with a mismatched identity.
They aren't who they used to be.
Purity breaks free from the trance she's been under for an eternity and begins to pick up the pieces to rediscover herself and what used to be:
The librarian who continues to write history
The dictator who continues to take a path of corruption
The star who wishes to shine in the sky
The lost who continue to roam the barren lands
They thought it would work, but I guess some things are never meant to be, aren't they?

The Thief's Dragon 📚 (Wings of Gold Book 1)
[2024 Amby Awards winner] For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's LoversComplete

(Drarry) Faking My Own Death
Draco had dealt with enough death to make peace with his own. Getting a handle on his emo angst, he assumed his life would end after Dumbledore's murder. He didn't expect to keep living. He didn't expect to find something, someone left living for. He didn't expect to reach out to Harry Potter for help. Even more so, Draco didn't expect to fall in love with him in doing so. This is a slow-burn romance and redemption Drarry fic written by a touch-starved queer person with a newly rekindled love for Paramore and MCR. Enemies-to-lovers always hits different when 'Playing God' is in the soundtrack! Get ready for Draco 'overthinking is my therapy' Malfoy, Harry 'not settling for less' Potter, nonbinary Hermione, and supportive best friend Ron, with appearances of 'awkward big brother' Bill and other notable Weasleys. Explicit consent and content warnings are important to me. This fic is mostly a safe space, with warnings added to relevant chapters (there's no SA/abuse in general). Yet, if anxious/angsty overthinking isn't your thing, maybe just skip this entire fic. (This book contains sexual content and strong language, so mature audiences only.) Chapters 1-45 have been edited in February 2022 for more consistent paragraph etiquette. All later chapters have this editing done before posting. Bonus chapters still yet to be edited.Complete
A Normal Society
A story delving into the dark and repugnant corners of human nature. This narrative features extreme horror as a way to bring to light societal moral decay, the perversely voyeuristic aspects of societal norms, pop culture and trends that victimise and exploit those who don't fit in to the 'normal' society that every human being strives to be a part of. The themes of this story extend far beyond just an exercise in horror script writing, but it explores themes of desensitisation to extreme content, for example, life threatening challenges on TikTok, such as the Mukbang challenge, the Cinammon challenge, Rooftopping, and many more. It also explores on how societal norms have normalised the victimisation of vulnerable individuals, to be exploited and violated for the pleasure of those around them. How much of this evil and depravity are we complicit in? Who dictates the societal norms of what's acceptable and what isn't? Are they morally depraved powerful figures of great influence who sculpt the dynamics of our society or are they cumulatively the ideology of every single one of the commoners that you find on the streets? This story is my attempt at an unfiltered, unflinching and unbiased view of our modern society that has increasingly been sugar coated in a layer of political correctness, as a means to bury the grossly conspicuous moral perversion that seeps into our day to day lives. My aim is to expose the darkest corners of human behaviour and societal decay, as well as psychological and moral sickness that drives extreme cruelty. Unfortunately, I had to use an AI generated cover as I do not have the exppertise in graphic design or digital design.Complete

Revolution (Book 3 of POE Chronicles)
(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.

Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Complete
