Toren Daen entered the Central Cathedral feeling hope, ready to challenge the High Vicar and prove his soul.
He left it broken, his wings sundered and torn.
But Toren has a spark; an ember of fire left in his heart that the people around him strive to rekindle. And if Fate is kind, he may just rise from this defeat like the ghostly phoenix bound to his soul.
Toren knows he can help the world he has found himself in. Now, the only task is to flap the butterfly's wings-because Toren hopes to change the outcome of the Dicathian war.
But it will not be so simple. The Scythes loom about him like the blades of executioners, always watching and waiting. The twisted politics of Alacrya have sunk their claws deep into Toren's soul, and though he may set foot on another continent with the hopes of giving the Dicathians a chance, those he cares for will always chain his heart. Arthur Leywin, twin Anchor for the Legacy, will not bend to the change Toren heralds so easily. Seris Vritra has plans of her own for Toren as they enter the war in Darv, and there is no telling if his desires fit anywhere within her schemes. The Hearth looms as a beacon of hope: if Toren lives long enough to make it there.
And behind it all, two gods play a game of chess: and they both have a question on their minds as the war of lessers reaches a crescendo.
How many times can a phoenix die before it will no longer rise from the ashes?

Soon All the Suns Will Rise
Now forced into a sub-alliance within the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black and Hogwarts Headmaster Severus Snape are living with their wives Colleen and Rhiannon in a charming house in coastal Scotland. Also in their makeshift family are Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, and Ben Black, boy wizard and son of Sirius's Muggle bride. As the Second Wizarding War with Rhiannon's father Lord Voldemort escalates into a fervor, so do the dynamics within the house. Can Sirius and Severus set aside their decades-long hatred for one another to protect and secure their future? Book Three of The Wizarding World Romance series. This story runs parallel to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. ***While I will do my best to make this book stand alone, for the best understanding of the characters and their journeys so far, you'll want to check out my other books, "Within the Wings of a Storm" (OOTP) and "Black as Night" (HBP). Reading the last few chapters of "Black as Night" (starting with "Wonderwall") will at least get you up to speed on the alliance itself. Reading all of "Black as Night" first is even better...and fun! :) ***This book is rated MATURE for smut. PLEASE heed chapter warnings. This book ventures into some...ahem...kinky territory. Enjoy, and please remember to vote and comment! I really love and appreciate your feedback. 🗳💕 ***I made an aesthetic board on Pinterest for Within the Wings of a Storm/Black As Night/Soon All the Suns Will Rise...aka the Wizarding World Romance series. I love it so much! Such good vibes and it's just so pretty.

You are pulled into an unknown world, Prythian, by an unknown force, coming face to face with a group of people you have only seen in your dreams. However, the reality you now face is much darker than anything you could imagine. Finding a way home is your only goal but with each passing year it drifts further away. It seems that Fate has different inescapable plans. With the help of a few you must learn to navigate your new life. Can the discovery of a vague prophecy help guide you on your journey? When magic returns to the Earth, and Death's shadow is unchained, Celestial bodies will unite to bring forth new rain. *********************************************************************************************** This is a fanfiction story based on characters and locations from the book series "A Court of Thorns and Roses" (ACOTAR) and "Crescent City". Both series, and thus the characters and locations within those works, are the property of Sarah J. Maas. The only thing that belongs to me is the backstory for "Reader" and my personal interpretation for how the story could go in an alternative universe.
Time Stellar | Sirius Black
"Thank Salazar, I was starting to imagine you actually stopped despising me." Sirius laughed, "Yeah, as if that would ever happen." "I know, who talks this way to the person they despise." Alasia grinned. "Right? Who does?" Sirius huffed. "Not us." "Absolutely not us." Time Turners are not said to travel forward, only hours at max in the past. What if they do? What if the person who travels has to inevitably come back, ruining all the life in future, ruining the future and the memories of it altogether. Alasia Victoria Serpens was born in the fifties, a pureblood Sacred Twenty Eight proud witch. Serpens like the northern celestial constellation, Serpentis. Alasia like one of its stars. Greek mythology wise, Serpens constellation represents a giant snake held by the healer Asclepius. Asclepius was the son of the god Apollo who was said to be able to bring people back to life with his healing powers. Unlike and Like , it all connected to Flames and a Phoenix. The moment she had stepped feet into the castle of Hogwarts, students feared her position. So what would happen if one day, the girl who had fought tooth and nail to become the Head Girl, an ice cold Slytherin, would be tricked and sent ten years in the future? Much to her dislike and much to a group of four's amusement, right in the middle of Marauders' seventh year.Complete
Discordant Note | TBATE
Lady Dawn expected to die. After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the wretched dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she's found herself a shade, anchored to a young man who knows far too much-and with far less hope than she'd started with. Toren Daen, for his part, only wanted to make it home safely. Now he's in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, and scrambling to make something worthwhile. And with his foresight, there's only one way that Toren can see to keep this new world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of mana, monsters, and looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya and the High Sovereign's Dominion could lead to a Fate worse than death. But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his mana core, knowledge of the future, and a maelstrom of fears and questions, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of death in the proxy war between raging asura clans. More than all of that, he might just live. (Semi-SI into Alacrya, character-focused story.

Discordant Note: Requiem | TBATE
Twice, the Dawn rose over Dicathen. Twice it crested the horizon, bathing the world in light. Twice it fell in turn. Devastating losses haunt the Sons of Dawn as they navigate an unfamiliar land filled with impossible danger, the looming threat of a tyrant asura king waiting like a guillotine over their Hearth. If they have the strength of arm, they might rescue their flock, bringing a force never before seen to the aid of those in need. In Dicathen, the Once and Future King treads the line between dark and light, holding the forces of worldly destruction at bay with subtle diplomacy and the strength of his sword. And back home in Alacrya, where all is war? A hidden knife of a woman, gleaming moonlit white, prepares to drive deep into the gut of those who took so much from her people. Fate has taken everything it could, a dirge of despair for those who lie beneath its boots. Yet this concert of causality is not the only one to play through the world: when the discord grows too great, when rebellion ferments in the hearts of men, can those who deny the world as it is escape their shackles? It's time to see the Symphony shattered. (Part 3/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 1: Discordant Note | TBATE) (Part 2: Discordant Note: Crescendo | TBATE) (Updates Tuesday/Saturday)Complete
