"Anna loved to fly. Only she'd never have guessed how literally she would one day be able to do just that."

Anna, Trish and Jack are three science students researching magic. Or that is what the university calls it. For them, it is about "communication between organic life forms and inorganic matter", but for the outside world, it is ridiculed as "how do plants, animals and rocks talk to each other?"

Their passion for science and determination to finish the research they had started, brings them to the Kutabuta Jungle. But not even their years of research could have prepared them for the dangers they would encounter, for it seems the jungle doesn't want them anywhere near the truth ...

A story co-written with @Fata_Viola

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath. "Ah, " he uttered in acknowledgment. "You are not a witness, you are the treasure

"One word, Dove. Or I'll draw it out of you another way." He flashes a fanged grin. "Drop by drop." I sputter as his grip remains strong, my vision blurring at the edges. Panic welled in my stomach as the room began to spin. He was too strong, and I had no choice but to bend to him. I submitted, my voice breaking as I forced out- "Annabella." His grin loosened immediately, but his hands stayed resting around my neck, my fingers still wrapped around his wrists helplessly. I gasped for breath, panting with relief. His eyes drank in the sight, a smirk ever present. There was a dark satisfaction in his face as he tested my name on his lips. "Annabella. Good girl." ------ In a world where vampires rule over humans, using them as servants, laborers, and pets, Annabella has always kept her head down. Ordinary. Forgettable. Safe. But when she witnesses an act of cruelty, her reckless defiance gets the better of her. She is taken to the powerful and dangerous lord of the land, Calix Holloway. Three centuries old, beautiful and cruel, Calix never cared for the countless humans below him ... until her. Dragged into the vampire's lair, Annabella swore she would not break. Yet, the more she resists, the more Calix hungers for her spirit as much as her blood. What begins as punishment twists into possession, and Annabella must face the most dangerous truth of all: Sometimes surrender feels like desire. RANKINGS: #1. vampirespet (9/15/25)

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Scentless Sovarielle by KT_Threadweaver
51 parts Complete
Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted. Until Aya came along and showed her that there was more to life. They became family, sisters and promised to stay together forever. But what happens when one of them finds their mate? Read along to find out the story of Amara Raven on her journey to find a place she belongs. Completed: 12/05/20 Can be read alone!
