Cover art and book by me. The story behind the cover art (versus the actual story) calls for explanation since, in the book, Astrian's hair is gold but on the cover, blue. . . . Originally, many years ago when I started this book, his hair was blue. I'm not sure when I changed it but, obviously, it was after I'd already finished penciling the colors on the cover art. Eve, however, is accurate, and there should be no further aesthetic inconsistencies, I hope. 

Origin: The trilogy began when I was 18 years old--I am now 34 but have not worked on it consistently since then. I write--this trilogy, especially--on whims, mostly: I'll write 50k in a month, more if I'm lucky, or I'll edit it, and then won't return to it for 4 months, 5, 6, maybe even a year. Book One is finished now and has been for 3 years. Strangely, I had it posted here last year but it magically disappeared. Reposting it now because I wanted it simply to be read. That is why I wrote it.

About the book: Naughty and virtuous gods, angels, devils, and saints. There is sex. There is violence. There is also redemption, philosophy, spirituality, cynicism, magic; Heaven and earth, homosexuality and heterosexuality; war and politics; lust, both requited and unrequited. There is biblical allegory, tidbits of Greek mythology, Egyptian, Norse, and many more. Every god I thought of makes an appearance; so, too, every angel. The names are thoroughly researched along with everything else (I hope), and what this tome desires to do is bring all such entities into one place, at one time--Vedic entities, Christian-Judeo entities, Pagan ones, and more--as though they were meant to exist in such a fashion and tell a story of a love triangle--quadrangle, perhaps--and the repercussions it imposes upon heaven and earth. The border between the two places becomes, perhaps, a metaphor for illegal immigration, and war stems between the Fallen and those on high, who would either keep said border in tact or abolish it completely.

23 parts Complete Mature
It All Ends with a Seed" is the sequel to It All Started with an Apple" a magical, darkly delicious novel in which love, heartache, war, and the supernatural are interwoven. The story continues with Lucifer and Aelia (Eve's reincarnated soul), trying to overcome the unrelenting obstacles that keep tearing them apart. Lucifer begins to worry about Aelia's safety in his realm when he learns his fellow fallen angels are plotting her demise. He pushes her away, leaving her lost and vulnerable until her pain consumes her entirely. Lucifer's plan to protect Aelia only makes her fall deeper into damnation and torment. When God steps in to claim Aelia's tethered soul for judgment, Lucifer manipulates all time and realms to keep her beside him. He strikes a deal with the King of Djinn (A mighty race that resided on earth before God brought the light). Lucifer's rash decision causes a war in Heaven that may destroy the entire universe-extinguishing their love for ever. In this captivating story, we delve into the intricate emotions of both Aelia and Lucifer as they navigate their complicated-presumably doomed relationship. The plot takes place in a surreal world where the boundaries between dreams and reality become indistinguishable, leaving the characters struggling to stay united. As Aelia grapples with her conflicting emotions towards Lucifer pushing her away then pulling her back repeatably, she embarks on a journey of strength and conviction, and the story takes us on a tantalizing ride full of unexpected twists and turns. The novel weaves a tale of timeless conflict between good, evil, love, passion, and death, drawing the reader into a world of mystery, suspense, and breathtaking wonder.
The Journalist, The General, and The Pirate by Acid5801

Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more. ((Heelloooo, thanks for clicking. :3 Its been quite a bit since I've written anything but I wanted to try something new. Been into making my own novels and stories and this ones an au based around the chars of my current works. This is gonna be a m/m story. Well theres three of them but who doesnt love a love triangle. Hope ya'll enjoy my for funzies story with love, heartbreak, and gay ass sex. At least weekly updates but possibly more often. We shall see haha. Feel free to ask questions or comment your thoughts, I love those Now, quick warning that there are dark themes involved in this story including manipulation, power dynamics, and dubious consent. Those chapters can be skippable without losing too much plot but I'm warning in advance that viewer discretion is advised.))
Aphrodite(18+) (Old asf) by LovelyMani28
24 parts Complete Mature
(Book 1 of the Mythology Series) Aphrodite~ Goddess of love; fertility. She stayed in the clouds, looking down upon the humans as she helped them fall in love. She stayed in the clouds, watching as the celestial beings found their mates. She did not mind these things, but the truth was that she was lonely. After creating the powerful connection of love in the mate bond, she wanted nothing more than to experience it. But she knew that gods did not receive them... Or so she thought. ~ I tried to back away from Lucifer but he held me in place, not letting me escape his hold. Although I'm a goddess and he's a Demi god, I know he's much more powerful than me. In every single way. The asshole gets it from his father. My deranged uncle. "Lucifer let me g-" He let out another growl at my attempts to talk him out of this. But there was no talking to a demon. The hunger in his eyes made my stomach feel queasy. "Don't ever let me hear you talking about another man fucking you unless it's me or your other two mates. He won't ever touch you again unless he wants to die a slow and painful death I'll be happy to give him." I gasped and tried to break free again. "You wouldn't dare touch him!" He gave me a dark chuckle before letting go of me. "Don't dare me. I like a challenge, Aphrodite. Oh, and don't forget your words. You could never moan his name to the heavens since he has never pleasured you. It takes 3 cocks to pleasure you, my beautiful mate. He only has one." A beautiful smirk came on his lips and I narrowed my eyes at him. "There'll be punishment for that later." ------- Story on my Patreon! Link in bio!

The Prime Races escaped Midgard just before a global cataclysm at the height of their Age of Science, Sorcery, and Pagan Religion. of their pagan religious culture. Within there side-slip dimension called the Green Realm, Verdant Realm, or the Garden. They grew side-by-side with mankind on Midgard until present day. 5000 years later their culture is steeped in pagan traditions that have led to prostitution being sanctioned and promoted by various churches, and very open and even incestuous life-styles. The ratio of monogamous to polygomist relationships is about 50/50. Harems and reverse harems are equally commonplace. Given the very limited animal resorces they brought with them they used science and magic to splice every animal species with Alari, Dvergr, or Giant DNA creating hybrids named the Animals, Insects, and various marine life. Later they spliced certain tree's DNA into Alfari thereby creating the Arboreals. Even in a fantasy there is oppression, racism, religious anamosity, political corruption, and corporate greed. In the Garden Realm the fantastic is everywhere, and sometimes it's hard to live but brutally easy to die. (Warning: This is an adult fantasy with graphic adult themes and scenes.

23 parts Complete
(Featured Story 2016 & 2017) Oregon, 1940s: Eve Miller, a young war widow, rebels against the ordinariness of womanhood in the post-war era. Eve is enlightened as she succumbs to the sensual temptation of an adulterous affair. In its aftermath, Eve Miller's life unravels and leads to unexpected violence and moral isolation. Exuberance Is Beauty, is a contemporary interpretation of Adam and Eve's biblical allegory and Eve's fall into desolation. The story examines the consequence of erotic obsession and the repentance the female protagonist must pay for her sins of the flesh. Exuberance Is Beauty has been described as "an intense psychological thriller," "hauntingly beautiful," and "terrifying." WHAT WATTPADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT JEFF: * controlling, heartless, psychopath man! * I really don't like Jeff, he's a bully and controlling her life. * Manipulation then seduction, a typical narcissist. Poor Eve. * Jeff is such an evil narcissistic...I bet he does mistreat his wife...physically and threatening to dump her if she doesn't back his projects and that he has had affairs regularly...It will all come out eventually. I just loathe him WHAT WATTPADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT EVE: *Why do I feel Jeff will ruin her chance of happiness? * I am trying to understand Eve but to be sincere I just cant. Jeff's behaviour is disgusting but it was wrong for her to follow him to his bed. I understand that she feels she now has control over her life but I just have this bizarre fear that she'd go back to him again, it seem as if they are obsessed and dats not love * I felt bad for her knowing that the only reason for all of this is a man- a controlling, heartless, psychopath man! * She didn't deserve any of this * What a frightening life this character led. I only hope some of the women that were tortured during this time frame were able to recover to some degree

~I felt it, the burning desire that lingered inside me. i couldn't control it, I felt my wings become tattered and change to black, I felt my red eyes darken, my hair becoming a deep reddish black. I felt my canine teeth extend, long black claws forced from my fingers where my nails used to be, a long slithering black tail had protruded from behind, the black horns that punched through the skin at the top sides of my forehead. I saw my entire skin was black. I wanted to control it, to force it back, to hide it, but I didn't want to. It had once again taken control of me, my body, my mind. Pushing my conscious to the furthest of my mind where it was clouded by the darkness that was currently exposed.~ An angel, named SIlver Ember, is shunned by all of angel society except by a select few. Born with the colors of crimson red eyes and hair with a bronze colored skin tone, is looked at as an abomination. She lives a somewhat normal life with the exception of a horrible nightmare that haunts her dreams since she was a child until she hears a strange voice inside her mind. A voice as deadly as the plague itself. While trying to figure out what's wrong with her she is suddenly pulled into spending time with Bracen, the prince of angels. She also meets a beautiful and charming merman, named Leomaris, that would make any female's heart skip a beat. She has no idea what's happening to her or what she's becoming until she has an interesting discussion with her mother. Is Silver a special angel or not even one at all? Just because she has wings means nothing. Silver has quite the battle while she struggles with love, being accepted, and control of herself.
