Robyn has always been trapped-by her mother's expectations, by the rigid rules of society, and by the love she can't deny. But when she falls for Amira, her brother's bethroned, the world around them shatters. Torn between duty and desire, Robyn must make a choice that could change the course of her life forever.
Determined to escape her mother's control, she plans a daring flight to freedom with Amira by her side. But the path to happiness is fraught with peril, as the weight of family, kingdom, and duty threatens to tear them apart.
In a world where love is the greatest act of rebellion, Robyn must fight to forge her own destiny-even if it means risking everything she holds dear.
A story of forbidden love, loyalty, and sacrifice-will Robyn and Amira find freedom, or will fate decide their future?

To Love a Targaryen
He came with fire. She only wanted to survive. Grace had learned to live quietly in the shadows of King's Landing - tending to her brother and keeping her head down. Until the day Prince Aemond Targaryen knocked on her door with lemon cakes in one hand and a warning in his eye. He said it was kindness. He said he was just checking on the sick. But he kept coming back. As war brews and dragons stir, Grace finds herself pulled into a world of silk lies and steel truths. Aemond is no longer the soft-spoken boy who once brought her medicine. He's colder. Sharper. But his eyes still burn only for her. And when love becomes a liability in a game ruled by fire and blood - the question isn't will they survive, but what will they sacrifice to protect each other? They say dragons do not weep. But those who love them do. "I should have let you go the day I knew I'd never be able to. But I was selfish. I held you like a secret - and secrets burn." - Aemond Targaryen, unsent letterComplete

Yeah that one. Their wedding day would mark the day I left Utah, the church and my family, the month I announced I was gay and was sent away... there was no room for gay here...and in turn no room for me.

And I would return... one christmas five years later... and with me every feeling and emotion resurrected. Our teens were only the beginning because the journey to Alberta was about to span through our twenties and into our thirties. A journey home. *** Willa Jameson.

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete

She swallowed to calm down her nerves and confidently looked at him, immediately catching his eyes, and she didn't look away this time. Christopher was a bit surprised by her action as she matched his stare. It seemed like she was challenging him to look away first.

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?
