"You thought you could threaten her? That you could hurt her, violate her the way that you did and walk away alive?" His voice was filled with raw fury, each word like a blow.
"Please," the Sower gasped, his eyes darting to the ghastly charred remains of his men. "I- We didn't mean-"
Thane didn't let him finish. With a surge of heat, the flames flared from his body, engulfing the man in a swirling inferno. The Sower screamed, his cries echoing through the clearing as the fire consumed him, but it didn't end his life-not yet. Thane controlled the flames, letting them torture rather than kill, a terrifying display of his power and restraint.
"Didn't mean to?" Thane echoed mockingly, leaning down so his face was inches from the Sower. His eyes burned with rage, dark and unrelenting. "You meant every word, every threat, every action. And now you'll burn for it."

Despite the hatred in his eyes, Fern makes the decision to heal him, forging a bond that neither expected. As their worlds collide, they must face the scars of their past. Can a single act of kindness heal old wounds, or will the weight of their history destroy them both?

The Man Named Death ✔
"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

Reaper's Pet
When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉." Parts 1-2-3 of the Reaper's Pet trilogy
Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
FOR ALL THAT BURNS
Wahida Dalva never planned to fall in love with him. It happened quietly, for her love was not a shelter but a demolition. It stripped her bare, humiliated her, and left her exiled from the guarded life she'd curated for her. But ruin has a way of shifting the ground beneath you, of rewriting the rules you thought were permanent. Out of that chaos stepped a man who should never have noticed her. Older, colder, untouchable, he existed in a space of quiet power, a man who seemed impossible to claim. And yet, when he reached for her, when he touched her, the world seemed to ignite and burn clean, leaving only the stark, undeniable clarity of what she had always needed. He taught her that love doesn't have to be pure to be real. That safety doesn't always come from good men. That sometimes, the only thing left to do with what's broken is to set it on fire and start again. For All That Burns is a dark, intricate romance about survival, devotion, and the extraordinary danger of being chosen by someone you were never meant to have, a story where ruin and desire coexist in a single, combustible flame.Complete

Oath in the Smoke
"I will obey you. Serve you. Heal for you. Die for you-if that's what you want. I'll be loyal only to you until the day you decide I'm no longer useful." The firelight danced across his physique as his face stayed still. "I could make you do all those things as we speak." His voice was laced with threat. "You could," Silvia said clutching her hands to fists, "but not ever without a fight." ------------------------- When Silvia's village is burned, the survivors are dragged to the war camp of Lord Varric-a ruthless warlord whose name is spoken like a curse. She appears broken and obedient, but her eyes are sharp, her mind unyielding. His men are forbidden to touch the enslaved women of her village-not out of mercy, but because they are coin to be sold.

With nothing left to offer in return for her villages protection, Silvia pledges herself-her body, her gift, her loyalty-to the man who destroyed everything she loved. An oath of loyalty, fear and unshakable resolve. Lord Varric accepts, not out of compassion, but calculation, keeping her close as a weapon, a healer, and a mind to sharp to waste. Yet even under his cold command, Silvia refuses to break. And behind her quiet defiance, Varric finds himself torn-driven to crush it, yet unable to look away from it.

Fern should've stayed dead. But death spat her out with fire in her lungs and Thane's name on her tongue. Now, resurrected and burning with something new and terrifying in her blood, she's on a desperate hunt-not just to find Thane and the others she was forced to leave behind, but to understand what she's become and how the hell she's alive. Her search drags her into the heart of Evatan-the kingdom of men-and straight into the path of the High Lord Rouland. He's dangerous, calculating, and hauntingly familiar. He keeps Fern on a gilded leash, parading her as the savior of his people, all while dangling Thane's whereabouts like a knife to her throat. With Thane's face and none of his heart, he offers a trade: help him win the war, and he'll give her information on Thane. But trust comes at a cost-and Rouland wants far more than an alliance. He wants everything. But Fern didn't crawl her way back from the grave to become a bargaining chip. Surrounded by strangers, tangled in politics, and stalked by the shadow of war, Fern has to play the game right. She meets new allies, reunites with old ones, and keeps the ember of rebellion burning in her chest. The war is far from over. Sayda is still in hiding. And Fern's return might just break the world for good. Will she take the High Lord's deal? Or will she burn the whole damn kingdom down? Among the Ashes is a story of rebirth, ruin, and ruthless choices. Power always comes with a price. And Fern is done paying it in silence.
The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
