There are no people in the city where Veronica wakes up. Its only inhabitants are magical crystals and deadly masked mercenaries prowling the city streets. When the mercenaries take her captive, Veronica is stripped of her name and forced to pledge herself to the Court of Sancteid, a society that maintains order over the realm they have all mysteriously found themselves in. Thrust into the ranks of the mercenaries, the Court Knives, Veronica-now known as Lotusfoil-must find her way back home, or else lose her identity forever.
Between vicious monsters, vengeful rebels, and the bloodthirsty Knive Superior breathing down her neck, the realm always has some trick up its sleeve to ensure Lotusfoil never escapes. Almost as if the realm wants to keep her there...

Sin & Silk (COMPLETE)
In the dark, they surrendered. In the light, they collided. Every Saturday night, she trades power for pleasure. In The Velvet Room, names are forbidden, masks are mandatory, and reality disappears behind silk and shadows. For a few stolen hours, she isn't a ruthless attorney clawing her way to the top-she's simply desire, hunger, need. Then she meets him: dominant, dangerous, addictive. They agree-no names. No faces. No strings. But outside the club, fate has a twisted sense of humor. He's the one man she can't afford to crave. The one man who holds her future in his hands. Because he's not just any stranger... He's the judge about to preside over her biggest case yet. Masks will fall. Rules will break. And the most dangerous sin... will be falling for him. ***Mostly smut with a little plot*** #1 in masked - 5/18/25 #1 in power imbalance - 5/18/25 #2 in secret identities - 5/18/25Complete

When Worlds Collide (MxM)✔
What would you do if you met an alien? Stare, obviously. But what if the roles were reversed, and YOU were the alien? Unfortunately for Kade, stares are the least of his concerns. As the only human on Terra, he must dodge the curious hands of Terrans and Carnivores alike and prove his worth as more than a novelty to the Terran King's Royal Inventor. A typical Isekai story, only instead of being hit by Truck-Kun, he gets blown up by a portal. There will be smut, and animalistic behavior. Be wary of drama and heartfelt romance.

AVIAN | ✓
An out-of-solar system colony project gone wrong meant Jessie English was stuck doing most of the work assigned to the deceased science crew. Sticking to his morals meant being left for dead by those in charge. By chance, he meets Luc, a member of the planet's sentient avian humanoid species. All Jessie wants to do now is live out the rest of his days with him, and hopefully get past the language barrier that prevents him from communicating the feelings of love he hopes are mutual. Unfortunately, sightings of a human and an alien together are more interesting to the colony's higher-ups than one would hope. *** Born the runt of his clutch, Luc had never held anyone so small, so soft... He was all Jessie had, so he would do everything to shield him from others of his kind, and by extension, protect the whole human race. -------- AVIAN has been COMPLETED on the writer's end (30 chapters + five bonus stories) and is on a bi-weekly upload schedule.
