Before the Clock Struck Twelve (On Hold)
Duke Caesar Alderson has always lived by duty-an unwavering pillar of nobility, power, and restraint. Yet, beneath his composed exterior lies an ache he dares not name. That ache has a name: Marianne. Once his childhood companion and loyal servant, she was the only one who saw him beyond his title. But years ago, she left the duchy behind, choosing a life of independence, burying a feeling one should not be never named at all. Time and distance should have erased her from his heart. Instead, the absence festers into longing, an unspoken torment that only grows when fate brings her back into his world. But Marianne is no longer the girl who once looked at him with quiet reverence-she is a woman who has tasted freedom and refuses to surrender it. When fate brings them together once more, their carefully buried emotions resurface. Caesar finds himself consumed by a slow-burning desire that teeters between devotion and obsession. As the seasons pass, so does the fragile boundary between them. What begins as a slow rekindling of familiarity turns into a desperate pull neither can ignore. Yet, the weight of duty and the divide of class loom over them, forcing them into a love that is both forbidden and inescapable. But as longing battles with pride, and power clashes with freedom, one question remains-will love triumph over the barriers of status, or will it destroy them both?
Of Empire and Embers (Flemington I)
Magnus Fleming never believed in dragons-until the night one nearly cost him his life. A jaded scholar buried in the dusty myths of medieval England, Magnus is obsessed with unravelling the secrets behind a centuries-old painting: Saint George and the Dragon. Late one night, tucked away in a London library, he stumbles upon a forgotten message inked in ancient script: "Here's the secret that lies deep within; only the chosen will find it." Moments later, a fatal car accident should have ended his story. Instead, it begins a new one. Magnus awakens in a strange land, not as himself, but as Lord Magnus Flemington, Earl of Kensington-an aristocrat in the kingdom of Caga, where dragons once roamed, the skies still whisper magic, and political alliances are written in blood and betrothal. Haunted by fragments of a life he no longer lives, Magnus is thrust into a world of rigid titles, whispered court secrets, and a royal engagement to a princess he's never met. But it's the quiet maid with storm-grey eyes-Casey-who stirs something deeper. She's elusive, clever, and far more than she seems. As Magnus unravels the mystery behind his strange reincarnation, he learns that Casey carries her hidden past-one bound to the crown, the dragons, and perhaps to Magnus himself. But with ancient forces awakening and loyalties tested, their bond threatens to ignite a war that could consume not only their kingdom, but time itself. In a land where myths breathe and monarchies burn, Magnus must choose: Return to the world he knew-or fight for the one he never dared to dream.

"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before.

Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess.

The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete
