The Mage's Bargain Bride Part 1: The Gilded Cage
In a world where magic costs your very strength, my desperation was all I had left. To save my sister, I was ready to sell the last piece of my soul. I never expected the buyer to be him. Kaelan Valerius-the most powerful mage of his generation, the heir to the floating Spire City, and now, my fake fiancé. Our contract is simple: I play the part of his beloved for one year, and he clears my debts and saves my sister. No emotions, no attachments. It should be easy. But the exhaustion that claws at him after wielding his immense power is a vulnerability he shows no one else. And the tender way he looks at me when we're alone feels terrifyingly real. In this glittering court of lies and hidden magic, our fake love is the most dangerous spell of all. And I'm afraid I'm already falling for it. --- ElaraComplete
The Duke's Maiden
Archibald Collin's life is suffocatingly dull. A forgettable accountant with a two first names, a placcid personality, and a plain face, he finds solace only in his cat and the rigid monotony of his routine. So, when a glowing circle appears on his office bathroom floor, his first thought wasn't magic, but rather 'hallucinations due to too much overtime'. He was wrong. When he opens his eyes Archibald is in a fantastical world, staring at a man as breathtaking as he is arrogant: Theodwine Blythe, the Duke of Aethelgard. Blythe informs an anxiety stricken Archibald that he has been summoned to be his "Comfort Maiden". A magical conduit to stabilize the dangerous, life threatening mana overflowing within him. The job requires touch, intimacy, and far more physical contact with a man Archibald would like to keep away with a ten foot pole. Now, bound to a grumpy, sickly duke and trapped in a world of vibrant magic, Archibald must navigate his own deep seated anxieties and insecurities. But as a real connection forms with Blythe, Archie is forced to ask himself: is he merely a last resort, or could he truly be the salvation for a man barely knows?Complete

The Inured Villainess
Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete

He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless.
