"Magic was real. Monsters were real. And I was magic, or a monster. I wasn't sure which."
Ivy Monroe is happy enough being normal. And despite her relatively humdrum life, the theatre bookings agent feels perfectly fulfilled by her hard-working career. Until a dashing man with a cryptic assumed identity reveals she's the first human familiar in a millennium.
Stunned to find she's already broken the rules by binding herself to the suave vampire instead of a witch, Ivy's unwitting actions plunge her into a necromancer's vendetta. And in a realm where one ill-advised alliance can be fatal, she struggles to gain control over her unruly magic as she fights to avoid a deadly choice.
Can she escape a dangerous destiny before she's sent to her doom?

Bound To The Demon Prince Of Erendale | 18+
⚠️WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.🔞 "You're mine, Witch." His voice hardened. "Your life that I saved? The one that would've been WASTED if I hadn't acted? Belongs to ME. And you will do only as I please, exactly as I say, until-" "Over my dead body!" I hissed, suddenly filled with anger. "That can be arranged," Hans said easily. Then with a smile that was anything but pleasant: "Or you can steal for me instead. Kill for me, if I tell you to. Either way, you stay where I can see you. Night and day." "I'm no puppet." I held his silver gaze with a glare. "And I'm definitely no murderer." "No, but you're a thief. One that's now forever indebted to me." ~•|•~ She steals power. This time, she stole the wrong one. ~•|•~ The Black Market of Erendale runs on the trade of magic ripped from its owners and sold to the highest bidder. Eclipse knows the game. As a Siphoner, a rare witch who can drain abilities with a touch, she survives by robbing the powerful and selling to the even more powerful... until she accidentally takes the essence of Hans de la Mort, the demon of Erendale himself. Crossing him should mean death. Instead, he offers her a deal: she'll return his power when the time is right, and until then, she and her siphoning abilities belong to him. She was his prisoner. His prey. And dangerously, the one who made his demon want to play. Every job she's forced to do pulls them closer to danger-and closer to each other. But when Eclipse uncovers a plot to overthrow him, she's faced with an impossible choice: return his power and lose the only leverage keeping her alive... or keep it, and risk losing everything. Including him.
Book 1: Veil of Shadows
I'm Ivy Hilton, and I screwed up. Big time. One, I'm one of the most powerful wizards in my world, and the next, I'm half-magic, stranded in the mortal realm, and fighting for my life. Why? Because I thought I could outsmart another wizard who's just as stubborn and reckless as I am. Spoiler: I couldn't. Now, the only way to get home is to find some mythical place called the Garden of Stone. Yeah, it sounds made up to me too, but it's my only shot. Oh, and did I mention there are powerful beings-disguised as humans, of course-who want me dead before I can even get close? Fantastic, right? My magic's running low, I've got no allies, and the longer I stay here, the more I realize that maybe this whole mess is way bigger than me. But hey, no pressure. If I fail, it's not just my problem-it's the end of both our worlds. So yeah, no big deal.Complete
Beneath The Blood Moon

But when Ivy crosses his path, something ancient stirs. Something forbidden. As blood moons rise and strange disappearances haunt the town, Ivy is pulled into a world she never believed existed - one of primal instincts, savage rivalries, and secrets that could kill her.

Undertaker x reader: The Witch and the Grim Reaper
Y/N is a wandering witch who crosses paths with a young earl named Ciel Phantomhive and his enigmatic butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Sebastian, with his sharp instincts, immediately recognizes Y/N's magical abilities and sees the potential she holds. He recruits her to assist in protecting Ciel as they navigate the dark undercurrents of Victorian London. Along their journeys, Y/N's path crosses with the mysterious Undertaker, a funeral director with an eerie charm. Unlike any man she has met before, the Undertaker's mysterious presence and cryptic smiles hint at secrets buried deep within the shadows of his past. As Y/N, Ciel, and Sebastian delve into their investigations, the witch finds herself drawn to the Undertaker, both fascinated and wary of his true nature. The bond between Y/N and the Undertaker grows, fraught with mystery and a budding trust that hints at deeper connections yet to be revealed. This is my first story, so please be patient with me! I'll try to stick to the original storyline of Black Butler, but I can't promise everything will stay the same. Also, there will be SPOILERS! I'll update when I can, but since school and work keep me busy, it may take a while. Just a heads-up, I don't own any of the Black Butler characters only the original ones I create!
To Kill A Warlock, An Urban Fantasy Romance
I'm a Regulator-a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world. When a dark-arts warlock is murdered and I was the last person to see him alive, I've got two choices. Either figure out whodunnit before I'm deported back to the Netherworld, or before I become the next victim. So, yeah, it's really more like I've got one choice. Enter Knight Vander, a cocky investigator sent from the Netherworld to work the case with me. Knight is what's called a Loki and he's the first of his kind I've ever come across. He was created by Hades, in Hades' own image and can I just say that Hades must have been pretty hot... Yeah, Knight is the sexiest guy I've ever seen but he's also bossy, demanding, and way too convinced of his own self-importance. As the body count increases, I find myself having to keep a sadistic demon in check all the while fending off the advances of a super powerful vampire, Bram. And dealing with Knight isn't exactly a walk in the park. Sometimes working law enforcement for the Netherworld is a real...Complete
The Pureblood...Demon?!
(Vampire Knight X Black Butler) (Reverse Harem) (The animes Vampire Knight and Black Butler do NOT belong to me. The pictures also do NOT belong to me.)

Demons, reapers, and demon hounds keep her on her toes as she navigates this new view on the world. That is... until she and Ciel, her (new-ish) brother, decide to go to Cross Academy. Now meeting up with past people, past secrets, new creatures, and inhuman creatures following her, Ivy has to use her strength and bluff to get out in one piece.Complete

The Witch's Vow
He burned her with his lies. She'll drown him in every life he lives. In 1692, Ivy Blackwood was a witch-young, gifted, and in love with the boy who would seal her fate. Aiden Mercer swore he'd protect her. Instead, he pointed the finger that led her to the gallows. As the rope coiled around her throat and the villagers spat prayers, Ivy whispered a spell soaked in blood and grief: "I bind your soul to mine. In every life you breathe, I will find you. I will make you remember. And I will make you pay." Now, in the sleek halls of Hawthorne High, Ivy walks again reborn in a modern world but carrying centuries of rage beneath her skin. Aiden lives too, untouched by memory, charmed by his perfect life... until Ivy arrives. And with her, the crows return. The dreams start. The shadows stretch longer. She doesn't want his heart. She wants his fear. She wants him to fall in love again so she can rip it from him, slowly. But ancient magic is never clean. And in the space between revenge and desire, old wounds open wide. Because some curses are written in bone. And some love stories were meant to end in fire.Complete
Blood & Blossoms
When 17-year-old Ivy moves to a quiet town to escape her past, she expects boredom- not a secret-filled-school, mysterious late-night disappearances, or the magnetic pull of the brooding, sharp-eyed new girl, Seraphine. But Seraphine has secrets of her own... centuries-old ones. As Ivy is drawn deeper into a world of Vampires and forbidden love, she must decide how much she's willing to risk-for truth, for love, and for the girl who might just steal her heart...and maybe her blood.Complete
