Shadow's Of The Archer

If blood is thicker than water, then how thin is it possible to make it? Because I was exiled from my home at the age of nine for being little more than a well read killer and honestly? To this day, at seven and a half centuries, give or take a decade, I can agree with the judgement they put upon me.
I just never did much to exceed that expectation, only seal it in stone and carry it like the eternal stone of Sisyphus. Dick of a guy, by the way.
From the red of the most crimson rose petals and the blood in your veins, know one thing before you read this beginning to the end of my story. It is not the same as you would normally hear. I am the Archer at the Fall of Night, and a Witch who takes no shit. Sagittarius Pierce. Killing is my purpose and all I am good at. Hope you don't mind. I sure as hell don't.

The Surgeon's Heart
I've always been better with hearts that have stopped beating than ones that are breaking. I Dr. Daniel Cross has it all figured out-surgical schedules, patient charts, the precise angle needed for a flawless incision. What he can't decode? The way Sarah Talbot looked at him in high school biology class, or why he still thinks about her sixteen years later. Back then, I was the awkward kid who could explain cellular mitosis in excruciating detail but couldn't tell when the prettiest girl in school was flirting with me. I had one shot to tell her how I felt before leaving for medical school, and I blew it spectacularly. Now I'm the youngest Chief of Surgery at St. Helena Medical Center, respected by colleagues, feared by residents. My hands save lives daily, but I've never figured out how to hold onto love. My apartment is sterile, my routine rigid, my social skills still a work in progress. Then she arrives in my ER-beaten, broken, barely conscious. Sarah. The girl who got away because I was too blind to see she never wanted to leave. She needs a place to heal. I need to learn that some things can't be solved with scalpels and sutures. As she recovers in my guest room, the careful walls I've built around my heart begin to crack. But loving someone means understanding them, and I'm still learning to read the language of emotions. Can a man who sees the world in patterns and probabilities learn that love isn't a diagnosis to be made, but a feeling to be felt? A slow-burn romance about second chances, finding yourself, and discovering that sometimes the heart knows what the mind can't comprehend.Complete
And then there was one
'Blood runs thicker than water' they say. Those who you share the same blood as - you know your family - are meant to be more important than those who don't. But it's ironic really, the way the saying got messed up over time until it means the complete opposite. The full saying is 'The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb'. That the blood from the bonds you share with your chosen family are thicker than the water from the covalent womb you share with your blood relations. Going from a family of 8 to 1 was a challenge for Amelia, but what happens when her 5 brothers try showing back up? Give this story a chance yk, I rate it a 10/10 so lmk if I'm biased or if it's generally that good :)
Pain
Pain. It's all different for everyone. We all have our own tolerance, and our own versions of it to deal with. So if you consider it, my pain isn't all that important. I mean, people get raped every day right? And my rapist marking me as his, it's not so bad if you just ignore it. I mean, that's what I plan to do because how exactly can you protect everyone else if you're bawling in front of them? Nope, not me. I won't. I will trudge through and bare it as long as I can; I will protect the people I love. And maybe, hopefully, someone will be able to protect me. My name is Emma, and this, well this is my story.Complete

The Serpent on the Throne
During the great floods and famine, my father, desperate for the coin needed to travel to the capital for the Royal Examinations, sold my mother and me to a fleshmonger. We were chattel, worth less than livestock. My mother, her belly just beginning to swell with a new life, fell to her knees in the mud.
