The gods are silent. The faithful are dying. And the last sword of the divine bleeds alone in the ruins.
Lan Godfric was once the hand of divine justice-a butcher blessed by the goddess Tillia, a legend feared by heathens and revered by the faithful. But the world has changed. The gods are fading, their light dimmed beneath the rising tide of the Godless-monsters in flesh and spirit, led by Boris, a man untouched by blade or mercy.
When a remote village becomes the final battlefield between faith and blasphemy, Lan Godfric answers one last call for salvation. But the gods demand more than faith-they demand blood. As divine power falters and the church falls to ruin, the weight of hope is passed to two untested young men, Peter and Ezikiel, who must face a truth no scripture dared speak: the gods will not save them.
What follows is a brutal descent into divine abandonment, betrayal, and desperate resistance. As the last sanctuary crumbles, a darker truth begins to stir-one that could consume not just the village but the very concept of salvation itself.
Faith has failed. Steel remains.

'Can I Have A Say?' {AU Fanfic}
Color and Nightmare have been fighting over Killer for a long time, trying to get him to stay and switch sides over and over. But nobody has asked Killer how this makes him feel. Feeling all that pain, being reminded off his horrible past, and then getting it all torn away from and being forced to start over again. Killers soul has been at the peak of both redemption and pure insanity nonstop to the point where he can't even tell who he's meant to be anymore, and neither of his two 'allies' seem to notice it. All he can do is hope and serve, and maybe one day, make his decisions himself. {Credit to Artist!}Complete
The Ossuary Crown
In the dead heart of a continent abandoned by mercy, the Kingdom of Vyrmathrax festers like an open wound sealed in crown and ritual. Draped in perpetual ash and carved from divine bone, this cathedral‑fortress realm answers to a single creed: "Only That Which Bleeds Is True." Beneath a bruised sky etched with sacrificial lightning, the Ossuary Crown rises-its towers hewn from skulls and ribcages, each toll of its femur‑bells a requiem for souls long damned. At its scarred throne sits an unmasked monarch wreathed in stunned flames and sacred pain. Around her kneel bone‑clad Knights of the Weeping Oath, their swords relic crucifixes, their visors bleeding incense. The Clergy of the Godshroud preach salvation through agony: tongues cut and replaced with bells, rites stained with entrails and martyr's blood. Pilgrims crawl through the Valley of Thorns beneath statues of weeping saints, begging entry to a land where faith is wrought in suffering. From the Sanctified Ribways to the Eye‑Hollows, from the Marrow‑Vaults to the Throat Clefts, every breath, heartbeat, and shard of bone is a hymn to glorious pain. But as the Crimson Synod weaves judgment with flayed flesh and voicelatched prophets, a missing Ember‑Tongue's final prophecy stirs behind the veil of death. Welcome to Vyrmathrax. Here, in the cathedral of divine wounds, you are not alive until you've bled.Complete

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete

The Perfect family S1 : Backstory
They were never meant to meet. They were never meant to belong. And yet, the broken threads of different AUs twisted their fates into one. Crescent - Raised in silence, forced into obedience, a servant with no name of his own. His hands are stained with the weight of weapons he created, each blade whispering of freedom he could never grasp. Star Cross - A hero born from corrupted code, his very soul flickers between light and collapse. Every battle risks unraveling him, yet he hides his fear beneath a smile too bright to be real. Sprinkles - Once a son, now only a shadow. The absence of his lost father haunts him like a ghost, shaping his wisdom into something heavy, almost ancient, for a soul so young. Paperjam - The clown, the trickster, the storm. But laughter cannot drown the echo of a big brother lost. Beneath the chaos, his grief festers like ink bleeding through paper. Together, they are called the Perfect Family. But perfection is a mask. Behind it lies pain, secrets, and a darkness that binds them tighter than blood. Different AUs. Different wounds. One fragile bond- standing against the void that wants to tear them apart.
❝𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾❞
When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."
