What happens during the happily ever after? That's what Axel Orbit and Nina North are about to find out!
Years after vanquishing the threat of Queen Titania, the young heroes of Earth have gone their separate lives to find what the world they spent over a decade fighting for has in store for them.
Axel and Nina, greatest of Earth's champions, have at last settled down in the humble little Oaken Reserve neighborhood, and enjoy the quiet life among their neighbors.
Trouble brews when Malian of Anation, aka Ryan, moves into the neighborhood, and threatens to disrupt the sanctity of the annual neighborhood lawn competition. Then, when the dust settles, a well-planned and meaning brunch strikes disaster and threatens to turn Axel and his baking skills against the neighborhood! Nina confronts a dangerous old foe who has hijacked she and her friends' fantasy football league, casting a powerful curse over those who should find themselves in a loss.
Yet true evil never sleeps. Rising from the dregs of desperation, a new HOA committee rises and preys upon their holiday spirit. If they're to recover any remnants of the seasonal joy, Axel and Ryan must set aside their once deadly differences lest the lights be turned off this holiday season.
The Quiet Ever After tells the story of what happens when the world is saved and where young heroes, having finally grown up, go to live out the rest of their days in a changed, saved world.

Snow ✓
Sixty orbits have passed since the faeries lost the Great War against the mortals and were pushed to the brink of extinction. Those that remain inhabit the Holókaustos, trapped by a curse, rotting away between this world and the next. That is, until a bastard halfling with something to prove concocts an escape plan involving a girl born of mortal blood and magic. ☆☆☆ A girl with a peculiar pedigree is dumped on a stranger's doorstep during the worst snowstorm the hamlet Myst has ever known. Selectively mute, she refuses to tell her hosts from whence she came and her name. For lack of knowing what else to do, the crotchety old woman and her grandson Mat grant her sanctuary and take to calling her Snow. But her very existence disrupts their daily lives. The mystery comes to a head when a dead man is discovered in the front yard after the first serious thaw. Strangers turned ragtag confidants, they dispose of the body. Orbits pass without incident, slackening their resolve to keep the girl their best-kept secret. When Mat introduces her to an old friend with his own dangerous secret, he threatens all they hold dear. The world's suddenly at their door, and it quickly becomes clear that Snow's meant for greater things. A story of loss, friendship and all the grit in between. #15 in fantasy | December 2018 #10 in adventure | December 2018 #4 in world building | December 2018 #1 in speculative fiction | December 2018 #2 in quest | September 2018 #3 in fairies | September 2018 #7 in scifi-fantasy | September 2018 #123 in new adult | August 2018 #183 in fairytale | August 2018 #2 in human experimentation | July 2018 First installment of an intended series.

Ribbons, Rumors, and Her ✔
[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Bullied and bruised, Adam has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)Complete![I Loved You Blindly [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161118475-256-k656767.jpg)
I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Casual College Harem House (Book 2 - Falling Season)
Alex thought juggling college, work, and five girlfriends was hard. Then came autumn-and with it, pure, pumpkin-spiced chaos. Between Halloween parties that turn into romantic disasters, movie nights that never stay just movie nights, and the ongoing debate over whose turn it is to "borrow" him next weekend, Alex is barely keeping up. Each of the girls-sweet, bold, sharp, shy, and dangerously unpredictable-has her own way of driving him insane... and making sure he never wants it to end. But just when he starts to think he's found his balance (and a new appreciation for caffeine), his sister blows into town-a whirlwind of wild stories, bad ideas, and zero concept of boundaries. Suddenly, Alex's quiet moments are gone, replaced by drama, unexpected houseguests, and holidays that will definitely make the neighbors talk. And as winter creeps closer, so does trouble-or maybe temptation. Because there's a new face or two in the mix, and Alex is realizing that love, like fall weather, refuses to stay predictable for long. Falling Season is a romantic comedy about late-night laughter, steamy encounters, and trying to keep your heart in one piece when everyone wants a piece of it.

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete
