Every couple of years, a girl from each village, town, and city in the kingdom is sent to the palace of the Black Queen as a tribute. And this time, twelve-year-old Sable is the one to go from her village.
Sable can't say she's ever been particularly attached to her village. (Being reviled all your life can do that sometimes.) But, it's the only home she's ever known. And if she must leave, she certainly wouldn't have chosen to go live (or die, or be enslaved, it's not certain yet) under the tyrannous Black Queen.
Sable also barely knows how to interact with other people. So she only hopes that she might survive in the palace in whatever capacity she can manage.
Just as she has all her life.

Ruins -TO- Ash【Previously: The Night of Marks】
Meanwhile, in an alternative dimension unknown to regular humans, a place filled with supernatural beings resembling vampires, werewolves, witches, and shape shifters, along with many more species lies a girl named Aurora. Bipolar and quick tempered are two words that easily come to mind when thinking of this "Princess". Kai, as she likes to be called, literally speaking is a nuclear bomb waiting to go off, and if set could destroy both herself, her world, and the earth that we all know and love. With a mother who's the Queen and God of all good in this satanic world, and a father who's the King of Hell, she's basically yin and yang with both sides fighting for dominance inside her fragile body. Along with the disappearance of her beloved "Queen" fifteen years ago still fresh in all her subjects' minds, Aurora has had a hard time being obedient with the authority. With her royal insanity and demented view on reality she's literally fighting a war within herself. So what do you think, will this very unstable Princess burn everything to the ground or will her friends, Lilith, Myral, Jasce, Domonic, and a very un-expecting "Pet" help this girl learn to control the over whelming powers running through her veins. Follow the journey of these six friends as they embark on the trail of "The Night of Marks!" {I have been editing so please, for the time being ignore all the mistakes and if the concepts aren't matching up, just know I'm working on it. This project is now my top priority, so I should have this done in three months top. If you have any questions don't be afraid to message me ~Krimson}Complete
The Lovelorn Moon | Remus Lupin
Remus was hesitant when he was told he would have an assistant when he arrived at Hogwarts. He was excited to teach but fearful of being outed, having someone working so close to him would increase the risk. He never expected her. Unlike her friends Robyn didn't grow up in the wizarding world, she also didn't grow up in the muggle one. Until her Hogwarts letter she new she was different, but when she arrived she realised how different she was. When she asked about werewolves in class she was faced with hatred and fear, but the man that raised her was one of these 'monsters'. The man she had spent her entire life healing. At Hogwarts she learnt other truths, about happy families that lived in homes full of love. She learnt that her friends weren't trained to heal and prepare for full moons every month. Her friends had never been so hungry they would sleep for days on end, that their parents didn't leave them for months on end. Warming! This fic is chaotic and a mess, it is whatever I feel like writing. There's lots of AU characters and a few of my own characters. It is smutty and silly with all the tropes I love. Remus is the main love interest but there will be other romances including Negan from TWD. I hope you enjoy and leave comments!!! Also this is going to be so long so make sure you comment so in a few years you can say you were here first!!
The Other Silver Lady
The daughter of Persinia has been alone all her life, tucked away in a forgotten corner of the imperial palace with her sole maid as she spends her days reading books and attending a mandatory ball once in a while. Life is quiet for the most part...that is, until one day, she stumbles upon a book in the library that predicts the future! And this one says she will die when a lost princess shows up in a few years and all of her siblings will kill her to protect their new, favorite sister! Now our princess realizes that if she wants to live, she has to be strong enough to do everything herself - wield aura to counter dark ones, wield magic to protect herself from evil wizards, and know alchemy to protect herself from a poison-happy consort of the emperor keen on making sure her son is the last one standing as heir to the throne. In an empire waging an eternal war against the darkness just to exist, our princess finds herself picking up new skills, new friends, new enemies, and a lot more importance in the palace than before all while trying to just make herself unkillable so she can live silently reading books. Will she be able to unravel all the mysteries of the world that she wants to, or will all of the tasks the emperor asks of her and the troubles she creates for herself keep her from existing in peace? Will she be able to escape the palace before the "silver lady" of that book appears, or is her death inevitable? Well...Mephie doesn't really care, to be honest. She just wants everyone to stop bugging her so she can finally finish the latest book she's been reading...especially those annoying knights...and, well, everyone else too.

Y/N Y/L/N was the kind of girl people warned you about. Not because she was dangerous, but because she didn't care what anyone thought. She wore her scars like armor, laughed in the face of rules, and somehow always ended up in trouble without really meaning to. The truth was, life hadn't been kind to her-so she stopped being kind back. But even with all that edge, there was one person who saw her for who she really was: the Nevermore principal. The one person who didn't flinch when Y/N raised her voice or broke another hallway rule. She was calm, collected, and steady-the exact opposite of Y/N's chaos. And somehow, they fit. Quiet nights turned into long talks, long talks turned into something softer. Something real. Y/N didn't fear much-she'd been through hell and back already. But death? That was different. That was final. And for once in her wild, messed-up life, she had something worth staying for. Someone worth staying for. Will it end? She didn't know. Life had a way of pulling things apart when you least expected it. But for now, she held on. Because for once, she wasn't fighting alone. This was written in 2022, I updated every chapter with better writing and more detailed scenes.

Why Me?!
Stormi Octavia Lane Johnson was just trying to survive high school, dodge drama, and maybe make it to cheer practice without catching an attitude. But between being a straight-A student, ROTC captain, and the girl everybody loves to hate, life was already doing the most. Then came De' Andre-mysterious, fine as hell, and way too interested in Stormi for no clear reason. As their slow-burn connection grows stronger, so does the pull she can't explain. Add in her best friend Vi acting weird, her parents whispering secrets like it's a business deal, and a strange new strength rising inside her... and suddenly, turning seventeen isn't just a milestone. It's a rebirth. But Stormi's world is about to crack wide open. Because being a queen doesn't just mean running things-it means uncovering the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the monsters she never knew were watching her all along. This ain't your average coming-of-age story. It's giving trauma, power, love, betrayal, and a whole lotta chaos. Because even queens have demons.
