5 Vile & Ignoble Tales
This is a collection of five miscreant tales: "The Grotesque There Is", "A Mere Clock", "Mayara", "The Lethargy" and "Animalia". Here are the synopses of each story in this book: "The Grotesque There Is" is actually a performance of two short stories. The first (initially called "Equine Hiring") is a mostly dialogue story about a horse in a job interview. The second tells the chronicle of the two men who stood in the rain. "A Mere Clock" is a narrative in the 1st person that tells the adventures of a mere wristwatch. At the first impact, the characters seem far from the reader, but the last paragraph ends up in a contemporary narration. "Mayara" tells the story of an egoistic girl that falls in love with a young man. Later, this man doesn't satisfy himself with her selfishness and ends up infuriating the girl, which leads to a series of tragedies and anguish, all due to the destructible retaliation. "The Lethargy" is an imaginary, almost parabolic narrative where the protagonist is a sleepy student disappointed in himself. "Animalia" is a first-person novelette of a teenage love affair between a bass player and a pretty who turns out to be a beast, making the story a real wild and raw mess. PS.: Some of these stories may present sensitive content and metaphorical representation of violence, although I do not consider any of these occurrences really timely characterised as 'mature content' since such matters are dealt with discreetly and with no compromise. Anyway, if you are uncomfortable with any approach to mature content, I suggest not reading "The Lethargy" & "Animalia". 🧡 #theseasonalcontests Book cover art: "Sogno Del Demiurgo" by Alessandro Sicioldr.Complete
Dancing with the Devil
In a kingdom sharpened by war, Norah has learned to survive by asking no questions and feeling as little as possible. But when a ruined angel is brought to the castle in chains, bloodied and unbowed, her carefully buried world begins to fracture. He is a demon of old power. She is a servant with too much silence in her soul. And between them, a bargain is struck that neither mercy nor reason can explain. As the castle closes in and the heavens grow dark, Norah is forced towards a truth more dangerous than death itself: some bonds are forged not to save you, but to unmake you.

Joker/OC story. Not a dark fic, just what I think it could be like if he were to ever fall in love, or as close to love as the Joker could get. Full story can be found under RubyWaters at fanfiction.Complete

Happy Ending
This is a short story. It's hard to sum up a short story without giving too much away so I'll just say... this is a story of violence. Of love and hate. Of cages and freedom, both real and in our minds. This is a story of triumph and failure, right and wrong, heroes and villains. Good and evil. It's all a matter of perspective.Complete
The Devil's Workshop
In a small town where the devil sets up shop, Mr. Lewis, makes a deal with a cost far darker than he imagined. As his family falls prey to an abomination, he must face the grotesque monster born of his guilt or risk losing them, and himself, forever. A chilling, Faustian gothic tale of obsession, sacrifice, and the horrors we invite when we seek to avoid our shadows.
