This is the first draft of my WIP "Echoes in the Night". I'm trying to keep things smooth but it's a first draft, so a couple things may pop up, disappear, and it may seem chunky at times. Sorry about this! I'm trying my best, but it may be slightly chaotic. If I'm lucky, this will be published one day!
*Overview*
Lily Reed's goals have always been clear: Become a police officer, protect the people who can't protect themselves, and find a way to move out of her toxic household.
A wrench is thrown in those plans when she stops a fight in an alley on the way home from camp. This is the catalyst to a situation that catches her attention. Judy Kempler, the police captain, is hiding something. The more Lily digs, the more she finds that Judy isn't what she seems.
Another wrench is thrown in her plans when a certain blond cop turns out to be ridiculously cute.
Lily's world is changing, but she's not mad about it. Her life becomes a lot more interesting over the span of a couple weeks, and she must find a way to balance everything she's taken on.
I created this story with themes of identity, independence, and connection. Lily's story is a parallel of mine, and I hope this story reaches someone's heart the way it has mine.

The Sorcerer's Landlord | ✔
John didn't like the future his parents had planned for him. He cut all ties and ran away from home, seeking a new life in the big city, where he could become a private detective. The first person who supported him was Isaac, who told him he was a wizard but said he could be a detective too if he wanted. Now, a year later, they're off the streets and starting to reach some kind of success. But the case of a young woman who thinks she's being followed is sure to change all of their lives... This was originally written for NaNoWriMo 2020. Trying to write 50k words of a novel in 3 weeks is a big challenge, so this is still a rough first draft. Any feedback would be much welcome.

Sweethearts Without Shame
I apologize in advance for any spelling, punctuation or grammar mistakes I make during this story. Anyways here's a description of the story: Alice is a smart girl with lots of friends who also came out as lesbian. Most of her friends are supportive except from one, Emma. Emma is an energetic girl who is popular but a little ignorant. After finding out her best friend is gay she freaks and gets mad. She has to fight for everything and defend her beliefs as she loses everyone around her. Evelyn enters the picture to comfort Alice but will they become something more? *A/N* This is my first story so chapters will be short as my time is limited. I apologise for the length of the whole story but I feel like the characters will benefit from a shorter piece. I want to thank whoever reads this as I had been nervous to post this, I've never really done any creative writing before. Anyway I hope you enjoyComplete
The Monster In My Room ~ Void Stiles
I just moved to Beacon Hills, with my friend Nyla, in search of my coven. What will happen when I wake up in the middle of the night to see a boy sitting at my desk, with dark shadows under his eyes and a dangerous aura around him? (basically smut with a plot) 10067 words (will edit small grammar things often, but the story itself will not change) (not sure if I'm making this a longer story yet) TW: language, smut, bdsm, nsfw, mentions of dead family members, possession, dark humor, cutting (kinky, not depressing) Takes place during s3b of teen wolf, void can temporarily possess stiles for the time being, since the electrocution incident that gave void enough power to fully possess stiles hasn't happened yet, and he can already control his own Oni I do not own any teen wolf characters or teen wolf plot lines Any other characters and plot lines are completely my ownComplete
AVIC: Project Queen Takes King
In a world of criminals left, right and center, I must try and find my own way. A way where I won't succumb to the darkness lurking in the shadows, or die trying to free myself of my demons. One demon in particular, David Reed, the leader of the gang in my town. My name is Mikayla Reed, or just Kayla really. I'm a street kid through, and through. Being asociated with the devil is a burden, and I intent to keep my cards close. Never trust anyone but yourself, except the seven guys I find myself getting closer to. They each have skills i've never seen before, but quesition is: Will it be enough? One thing is clear though. I'm never taking orders from anyone ever again. Over. My. Dead. Body. (Please don't say that statement come true). Whatever is left of me when I'm done, only time will tell. READ THIS BEFORE READING THE NOVEL: This is a contemporary why choose romance, where the female main character doesn't have to choose between any of the male main characters. There will be a happy ending, but the road is long. This is slowburn, meaning that it takes a while for the romance to take place. TW: Foul language, mentions of dead or murder in detail and sad backgroundstories. I'm not these characters or share the same beliefs as them. There are questional topics or insults mentioned by sidecharacters. This is also a little sideproject i'm doing for fun. In no way am I an author, so please be nice. English isn't my first language, so I apologize for spelling-mistakes. Please message me if you find any mistakes! Leave a review so I can improve my writing in the future.Complete

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story)
She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°Complete
