In the heart of the ancient and enigmatic city of Valeria, the Conclave rules from the shadows, pulling the strings of power with an iron grip. But at its heart lies a tale of betrayal, secrets, and the enduring quest for justice.

Alistair, the 13th member of the Conclave, dared to uncover a sinister conspiracy that threatened to unravel the council's power. His revelation marked him as a traitor, and his execution shattered the illusion of invincibility that surrounded the Conclave.

His daughter, Elara, and loyal cousin, Aric, fled for their lives, escaping into the shadows of Valeria with the help of trusted members who paid a brutal price. Their journey for justice led them through treacherous alleys, hidden passages, and dark secrets.

As Elara and Aric unraveled the truth behind the Conclave's betrayal, they found themselves entangled in a web of intrigue and danger. Amidst the shadows, Elara's forbidden love with Adrian, the son of the Conclave's most prominent member, added a layer of complexity to their quest.

"The Conclave" is a gripping tale of revenge, redemption, and the enduring power of love in the face of insurmountable odds. Will Elara and Aric succeed in their mission to bring the Conclave to justice, or will the city's secrets consume them? As Valeria's fate hangs in the balance, the legacy of the Conclave will be forever altered by the choices they make.

MindStorm by JacksonKimi42
4 parts Ongoing Mature
In the year 2147, London is a city reborn. Above its cobblestone streets and medieval cathedrals, levitating highways hum with energy, and quantum towers pierce skies heavy with storm clouds. Beneath it all, secrets sleep in stone crypts, waiting for someone brave-or foolish-enough to wake them. Valen Drake, an elite Echo Operative, has a rare ability: he can see the spirits of the dead. Using advanced neuro-interface technology and ancient glyph systems, Valen helps lost souls find peace-and, sometimes, uncovers truths no living person was meant to know. When a simple case in an old mortuary turns deadly, Valen is thrust into a conspiracy that threatens the minds of everyone on Earth. The death of an elderly man should have been routine. But when his ghost whispers of an unfinished ritual and a mysterious newspaper headline appears out of thin air-predicting a catastrophic event called the Mindstorm-Valen realizes something has gone terribly wrong. Joining him is Elara Wynn, a brilliant and fearless cyber-neurologist with her own secrets to hide. Once Valen's fiercest rival, now his closest ally, Elara specializes in neural hacking and mindfield exploration. Together, they navigate Mindfields-virtual landscapes created from human consciousness, where memories can be altered, and nothing is as it seems. As Valen and Elara dive deeper into these unstable realities, they uncover a terrifying truth: the Mindstorm is no accident. Someone is manipulating humanity's collective consciousness, turning the world into a ticking time bomb of shared nightmares and psychic terror. And the key to stopping it lies with Valen's own haunted past-and a love he thought he'd lost forever.
"Elara~Prince Twisted Obsession" by softlysinister
43 parts Ongoing
In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.

{Unseen Shadows}🌑🖤 --- Last warning, Elara. Safeword now, or. "Please.. "Elara begged him again".. His face darkened, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Too late." He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...
