James Carter, a thrill-seeking tourist, finds himself drawn to the eerie allure of Jabirath Mandir, an ancient temple hidden deep within the Himalayan foothills. The villagers warn him to stay away, whispering of Emperor Dharanveer, a ruthless ruler whose restless spirit is said to haunt the crumbling ruins. Dismissing their superstitions, James sets out to explore the temple, camera in hand, hoping to capture the remnants of a lost empire.
But the deeper he ventures into the shadows of the temple, the more unnerving the whispers become. They guide him to a sealed chamber, where he discovers a hidden tomb and the stone-carved figure of Dharanveer's corpse inside. Compelled by curiosity, he touches the statue, unknowingly breaking a long-forgotten curse. The air chills, and the shadows seem to close in, as the once-lifeless form of Emperor Dharanveer stirs.
Awakening after centuries in a dark, restless slumber, the emperor is captivated by the intruder who has disturbed his eternal rest. But Dharanveer's idea of gratitude is twisted-he insists that James must now stay with him, bound in a dark, mystical marriage to ensure his spirit never returns to the abyss. Trapped within the temple's walls, James faces a terrifying choice: submit to the emperor's demands, or be haunted by a vengeful spirit determined to keep him in this eerie, ancient love story forever.
Caught between fear and a dangerous allure, James finds himself entangled in a strange and perilous relationship with a man who is as cold as the stone he once was. With no clear escape, he must navigate the deadly games of a ruler who refuses to be forgotten-and maybe, just maybe, uncover the lingering humanity buried beneath centuries of rage and loneliness.

Carnations in the Alley | manxman | (Historical Romance)
| ManxMan | - Historical Fiction - Strong SEXUAL Content | Tossed aside for his sexual preferences, a young lord is abandoned by his family. But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid. Of what? (This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)Complete

To Hell and Back
Wei Wuxian opens his eyes in a strange room. The past memories rush in but along with the memories of the loss and the hatred is the distinct memory of his own death. It takes him a while to realize that the body he inhabits is not his own. He has been dead for sixteen years. The World has changed a lot. The Jin Clan of Lanling fell when Jin Guangshan died and Jin Guanyao fled to avoid being punished for crimes against humanity, namely the ill treatment of the Wens. The cultivation world is in disarray with no known leader and no order. The ordinary people suffer and to end this suffering Mo Xuanyu, the son of a cultivator who failed to make a mark, performed the self sacrificing ritual to unite the cultivation world, to provide a leader that will help people rather than harm them. In a village few miles from Ciayi Town, Wei Wuxian grappled with the realization that he had been resurrected with the purpose of being targeted by all the sects all over again, so that in standing against a common enemy the cultivation world unites once more. However this time around, he has a golden core, though weak, and the added advantage that no one knows this face. What he didn't make allowance for was a person who knows his soul. P.S. Unlike my other fanfics that take the characters and weave a light fluffy romance (with light SMUT) around them this story deals with themes of social injustice, personal voice, identity crisis, self harm, suicide, violence and death.

[dreamnotfound & dTeam fantasy/superpower road trip au, 133k+ words, complete] "You're... not afraid?" His voice was barely a peep, shy gaze half-turning away but still watching him out of the corner of his eye. His hand instinctively reached for the pendant at his chest, tips of his finger grazing the crystal and ready to grasp it, somewhat afraid of the answer that would come next. "Why would I be afraid? You're like the coolest person I've met so far! Plus-" He poked his side, and George squeaked, jumping back from the ticklish sensation. "You're so scrawny and small. I'd never be afraid of you!" * * * George never wanted to be one of them. But at eight years old, he discovered he was a Psychic and he was committed into a faraway island academy for Extramundanes. Despite the difficulty of making friends when even other super-powered classmates are afraid of you, George finds a tight-knit group of best friends who aren't afraid to stand up for him. Yet with age comes his developing abilities, and as he grapples for control, the disappearance of one of his best friends leads George and his friends on a runaway road trip to rescue him.
