Ember has been roaming the forest for as long as she can remember. Shun by her family at a young age, she has learned to depend only on herself, earning gold by doing favors for towns people and royals alike. When it's announced that the woods are under attack by dragons, and a gold fee is offered for the ones who slay the clutch, Ember sets out to try and get her share. On the journey she collides with a hunter named Gideon and his party more than once, and they always seem to be a step ahead of her, mocking her as they meet. He has become a thorn in her side, and she will not let him get all the glory.

~How deep can the darkness take you... before you lose your soul?~ "Tell me," she said, because the emptiness inside was yawning, stretching, consuming and she suddenly needed something, someone, needed to feel anything other than empty. She hated being empty. And she didn't want him to be empty either. She remembered that. It was like a film had been lifted from her eyes and as she looked down at him, she understood something. With other people, she didn't have to be human. Even with Thorn, he simply knew her. Andreas made her feel human. She didn't know how to be human, didn't know what it involved or what she should do. Humans were fragile, humans could be broken, and Sin was already broken enough. But she wasn't as broken as him. And maybe it was that fact that had her reaching for him, turning so she was laying on the bed beside him, stretching so she could wrap her arms around him and hold him close to her. Maybe it was that knowledge that made her want to protect him from the world. Because she'd thought the gods cruel only to her. She'd been wrong. So she closed her eyes and breathed him in, then breathed out, releasing everything inside her until she was simply... Sin. And she whispered into his hair, softly, five more impossible words. "I can hear you screaming." Dropped into an unknown, dangerous world and thrown together by chance, two people are now in a race for survival. One, a dark sorcerer with a haunted past and a deadly reputation, and the other, a cursed assassin with a chaotic soul. Both are powerful, domineering, and arrogant. Neither are team players. And yet, they'll have to work together if they want to get out alive... that is, if they manage not to kill each other first. (A collaboration/co-write by @Michillie and @Literacy101)

4 parts Ongoing
In a world where races like elves, dwarves, and humans are constantly at odds, Ryker, a teenage boy, is caught in the middle of a dangerous pursuit. Born half-elf, half-human, Ryker's very existence is illegal, forcing him to live in hiding with his guardian, Doc, a mysterious and skilled doctor who raised him with discipline and care. On the night of Ryker's birth, a violent storm raged, and a strange face appeared in the fire, marking his life with an air of mystery and danger. Now, on his 17th birthday, Ryker's secret is discovered, and multiple races-including gods-begin hunting him for reasons he does not yet understand. Doc, always prepared for emergencies, has trained Ryker in survival tactics, teaching him to use hidden meeting points and escape routes. But for the first time, Ryker must put these plans into action on his own. As he tries to evade capture, Ryker reflects on the strained yet loving bond he shares with Doc, recalling moments of harsh lessons and tough love. Despite Doc's strictness, Ryker knows he is more than capable of handling the dangerous world around him. He must now navigate a forest filled with guards, untrustworthy villagers, and his own fears, all while unraveling the mystery of his heritage and why so many are after him. Armed with his intelligence, survival skills, and a powerful weapon said to be able to destroy gods, Ryker embarks on a journey that will challenge everything he knows about himself and the world. As he faces powerful enemies, including gods, and confronts the mystery of his father, Ryker discovers that his mixed blood may be the key to saving-or destroying-the world.

Twenty three year old Jace is anything but average. She not only has a dark past, but she kills and hunts the undead and supernatural for a living. Things were pretty normal, (normal for Jace, anyway) until she's almost killed during her latest mission. She regains consciousness in a mysterious castle, owned by the reclusive, and rather creepy Savlian. Not to mention the devilishly handsome, smart-mouthed Dante, the dark, gorgeous, captivating Deanon, and goofy, funny, lame Kareesus. Soon after arrival, Jace starts having strange accounts of deja vu, and she soon learns of her previous life, one where she's a princess in The Realm of Darkness, a universe parallel to ours. But what happened? Where did things suddenly change? As if unlocking her memories and learning to harness her new-found magical powers wasn't complicated enough, she's somehow managed to get involved with two of the castle's residents. Find out how things turn out for Jace in "Remember"
