Where story meets tea, coffee, cozy, and sensation.
From the darkness between the grounds of a medium roast to the song sung by the citrus floating on a floral steam, there's magic in what we brew. There are stories to be told, speaking from the cracks between the drinks that delight us.
Enjoy story after story.
Enjoy the creepy, the unlikely, the beautifully mundane and the magical, as you kick back with a paired beverage.
Read, feel, and breath in the tasting notes.

Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar
Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar follows Vesper Retchley, a dry-witted, sharp-eyed apartment witch with a talent for quiet magic and a habit of writing things down before they slip through the cracks. Her apartment isn't much - creaky floorboards, a stubborn kettle, a cat with too many opinions, and two pigeons who gossip more than they fly-but it's hers. And it's where the magic settles: not in spells or spectacle, but in small nudges, warm rituals, and the soft reshaping of everyday life. Vesper doesn't chase adventure. She brews tea, listens closely, and occasionally corners a neighbor in the hallway to help them get their life back on track. She writes not for fame, but because the world is always saying too much-and she needs a quiet place to answer back. This is a story about the magic tucked between the lines of ordinary life. Cozy, clever, and a little offbeat, it's perfect for anyone who knows that even the smallest moments can carry a touch of wonder.
Angel & Xavier Vol1: The call of Evys.✔️
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Not Long ago, In a Place not far from here, is a planet called Lydian. Lydian was a lot like this weird planet 'Earth'. That is, very similar except for Our magic. Unlike Lydian, Earth's magic died a long time ago, centuries and centuries ago. Whereas Our magic is quite clearly still active, as you are reading this." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (Please read my books!

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Compleet

[COMPLETE] Her hands are under my shirt in seconds. She palms my breast through my bra and squeezes like she doesn't care if it leaves a mark. I cry out but the sound is muffled by her lips as her thumb flicks my nipple. "I hate you," I whisper. "Then hate me with your legs opened," she snarls, dragging my shirt over my head and tossing it somewhere behind her. Her teeth scrape down my throat, biting at the skin just below my jaw until I hiss. My back arches as her fingers undo the clasp of my bra and when it falls her mouth is latching onto my nipple, sucking it so fucking hard I nearly scream. I grab her hair and yank her head back but the look in her eyes only makes me wetter. "Shut up and fuck me," I snap. She grins.

The Song Beneath the Leaves (BL Series)
Magic blooms through music in the forest of Mythenwood... but lately, the Song has started to twist. Daniel Lee is small, shy, and a little too kind for his own good. As a first-year student at the University of Mythenwood-an ancient magical academy hidden within an enchanted forest-he just wants to keep his head down, pass Potions class, and maybe make a few friends along the way. But Mythenwood is no ordinary school. Magic here is grown, not cast, rooted in the Song of Roots, a living melody that flows through every branch and leaf. Daniel, with his gentle heart and natural attunement, hears the Song more clearly than most... including the eerie new verse creeping into its harmony. When a wrong turn leaves him lost deep in the woods, Daniel collides-literally-with Lucien Virellis, a cold and enigmatic second-year with shadowed eyes and a secret past. The forest has begun to reject Lucien, and the magic that once bloomed beneath his touch has withered into silence. As an ancient power stirs and the forest begins to unravel, Daniel and Lucien find themselves drawn together by something neither of them fully understands. But can a boy who sees only the good in others heal someone who no longer believes he deserves saving? Or is Daniel simply the next verse in a song that's turning dark?

Legends - H.S
Golden, Fire and Magic... that's the answer I give to people whenever they wonder about us, they just nod and smile thinking we're too poetic for them to understand, and honestly, we are. You and I, have the world eating from the palm of our hands, we're the living romance fantasy everyone wishes to experience someday, perfect, fearless, timeless... the kind of romance that has people around the world falling in love with the idea of us us together, almost too fake to be truth. On the outside, we have the world believing in this strategically planned romance that will bring us fame and glory, but what are we behind closed doors? When the world is not there to watch? We're alone, just us... Two souls fighting our own demons, our broken hearts trying to find the light in each other, lovers in the night, just the two of us. We're legends. TW: Minor substance abuse.

The Quiet Hours
Before the world wakes, there's a pocket of quiet. Just coffee. Madeleines. Soft glances that last too long. Two women-colleagues, friends, not quite lovers-share stolen mornings in a classroom three flights above reality. What begins as ritual becomes something more: tentative touches, shared breath, words unsaid. And when the quiet isn't enough to contain them anymore... everything tilts. A slow burn. A love story. A study in restraint, longing, and what happens when "almost" finally turns into "yes." So I basically wrote a fanfiction of my own life. With more orgasms and fewer consequences. A highly fictionalized account of what I would have done if I were braver, sluttier, and less employed.Compleet
