A Shadow of Fire
A Tale of Blood, Betrayal, and the Rise of a Forgotten Heir The whispers of the past are not so easily silenced. Daenys Pyre was born in the shadows-a Targaryen bastard, raised in the back alleys of Pentos, unaware of the blood that burned in her veins. She lived as the daughter of a courtesan, far from the power and glory of the Seven Kingdoms, until a single truth shattered her world: she is the daughter of King Rhaegar Targaryen, the lost heir to a stolen birthright. Hunted by those who would see her erased, Daenys flees across the Narrow Sea, seeking refuge in the land her father once ruled. But Westeros is not the homecoming she imagined. The Iron Throne is not hers to claim. It belongs to her half-brother, Prince Daeron II, the firstborn son, the king who should have been her greatest ally-but now stands as her greatest rival. The court of King's Landing is a nest of vipers, ruled by the cunning and ruthless Queen Mother, Alicent Hightower. And in the shadows, her enemies plot her downfall-Prince Aerion Targaryen, her uncle, a man with a hunger for power, and the lords who would see her blood spilled before she could ever rise. But Daenys is not alone. The Velaryons, the Baratheons, the Tyrells, and the forgotten loyalists of her father's reign begin to whisper her name. And as she steps onto the path of war, a secret buried in her past threatens to reshape the very fate of the realm. A dragon does not beg. A dragon does not kneel. And when fire and blood call her name, Daenys will answer.Complete

An Accord for Development (An Elden Ring Two-Shot)
"Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all!" It was a simple, yet grand purpose to those given a second chance by the Light of Grace. To become Elden Lord and claim the Elden Ring. Many would be emboldened by the flame of that ambition, and many more would perish at the hands of those who wished nothing more than to see the Tarnished dead. Such was the way things were in the Lands Between, shattered and fractured to the point of chaos between its residents. Only a select few would be guided by Grace, however only one would truly be gifted with something incredible. A gift that would render the physical well-being of a soul... unworried in the face of death. Yet the mind of that same individual would only be further damaged from it. So what did it mean to have true immortality? A blessing? Or merely a foul curse in disguise? One Tarnished warrior would grow bitter to it nonetheless, all the while cherishing the one gift he truly had. A friend. One he would do anything to protect, and one he would grow to love in spite of fate itself. This is an Elden Ring Two-Shot story; a Male reader X Melina story.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
