⚠️THIS STORY HAS ALOT OF TRIGGER WARNINGS⚠️
When explorers Alfred and Andrew break the seal of an ancient chamber deep within a forgotten cave, they unleash a horde of monstrous, bloodthirsty bats-and something far worse. These bats, harbingers of a malevolent ancient force, spread death and chaos across the city. Gravely injured and missing an arm, Alfred escapes the cave as the sole survivor, but his warnings to the authorities fall on deaf ears. Before succumbing to his injuries, Alfred leaves behind a frantic video and detailed writings about what they unleashed. It isn't until the bats begin ravaging the city that the authorities and survivors realize the scale of the threat.
Peter, a mysterious and highly knowledgeable but reclusive man, and Yasmin, a resourceful and brave woman, run a shelter for orphaned children. As the chaos spreads, they lose most of their children to the bats, leaving only three survivors-Aaron, Benjamin, and Asma. Determined to protect the children, Peter and Yasmin uncover Alfred's recordings, which lead them to his eldest son, a timid but brilliant young man who has inherited his father's knowledge of ancient myths and science. Together, this unlikely group must journey into the heart of the chaos to uncover the ancient secrets needed to seal the abyss. But time is running out, and every moment lost brings humanity closer to extinction. Can they fight back and stop the ancient force, or will the shadow consume them all? As the shadow grows stronger, ancient myths and forgotten knowledge hold the key to humanity's survival-but will it be enough to fight the abyss, or is the world already doomed?

Title: Shadows and Secrets Blurb: Gotham City doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget-and neither does the man watching over it from the rooftops. As a forensic psychologist brought in to help the GCPD profile Gotham's most dangerous criminals, you've always relied on logic and evidence to make sense of the chaos. But when your cases begin crossing paths with the city's infamous vigilante, Batman, your world gets darker-and more dangerous-than you ever imagined. He's infuriating, secretive, and impossibly brilliant. And he's got a knack for showing up when you least expect it. As you dive deeper into Gotham's twisted underworld, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. When a new threat emerges, one that ties your past to his present, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. In a city where trust is a weakness and love can be a weapon, the question isn't whether you'll survive Gotham-it's whether you'll survive him. Because in Gotham, secrets don't stay in the shadows-they burn.

And to the Forest, it may return. Umirin's people have lived within the ancient, powerful Forest since they had sprung to life there many generations ago. They respect the land they live off and worship the Heart of the Forest, the divine beast who sowed the seed it grew from long ago. Since its creation, the Forest had grown mighty. It is eternal. It is home. At least it had been, until a great tragedy many seasons ago changed everything. Now Umi's nation lives above the forest, in houses built on beams, to escape from the roaming beasts below known as Soulbiters. They are dangerous and deadly, but rooted to the Forest floor, only able to burrow through the soil. Above the tree tops, the people are safe from them. But man is not made to live floating in the clouds, and there are times when they have to travel to the ground. These trips are done by the best warriors and hunters, but encounters with the beasts are inevitable, and lives are still regularly lost to their curse. When Umi's beloved husband Shani is grabbed by the Soulbiters, he is prepared to do anything to save him from the gruesome fate that awaits if he is bitten. Anything at all. Even strike a horrible bargain with the beasts.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Monster: Origins
Monsters are real. They've always been here, hiding in plain sight. Sam had no idea... until something ancient and hungry stepped out of the woods and tore his life apart. Now he's not just running from the darkness... he is the darkness. Twisted into a creature he doesn't understand, driven by a brutal urge that he can't control, Sam must choose: protect the ones he loves, or embrace the monster inside. In a new city, Sam is hunted on all sides by those who slay things like him without mercy... Hunters. Sam hides among them, searching for answers as he helps them track something hiding right under their noses... Sam himself. But as he gets closer to their secrets and their daughter Autumn, his own secrets risk coming out. What will happen when his curse attracts even greater threats that slumber beneath the city, from a dark, hidden place that might destroy them all? What will happen when Sam stops holding back and lets... IT... out? Will he discover what he has truly become? When he was still human, he thought monsters were myths and legends. Now... he has to study those old legends to try and figure out what exactly is hiding behind his eyes. His fears begin to swell, overtaking his fabricated life as he slowly realizes something. The thing he's carrying inside of him is maybe something far older, and exponentially more dangerous than any of them is prepared to face. This is a story to try and address the question we have all asked ourselves after watching that one movie, or finishing that great book. What would "we" actually do if we were turned into something? If we had the power and anonymity to move in the dark like a supernatural creature, how would that play out with an average person and their family? -Slow-burn progression -Deeper emotional story -Hard choices to be made -Makes mistakes -Slow-burn progression -Deeper emotional story -Hard choices to be made
The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall
What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive.

For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion.

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.
