He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence.

Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.

Castaway Sky by Abi7984

"Tell me what you did wrong, boy." Eli felt his body attempt to curl up to hide. But the monster would always find him. "I-I ate s-some food, s-sir." CRACK. His father's fist hits the table. Eli jumps. "From where, you useless wench?!" Eli prayed to the gods to disappear. They never respond. Eli was offered to the gods. That's what they said when they pushed him into the sky-into the arms of a storm. But what waits in the clouds is not salvation. It's a reckoning. Haunted by memories, Eli tumbles into a orphanage with darker undertones than his own home. Each step toward breaking takes him deeper into a world where reality slips, gods whisper, and pain is stitched into obedience. As the line between dream and nightmare fractures, Eli must decide whether survival is worth surrendering his soul-or if falling is the only way to be free. A new chapter of pain is just beginning...

Eternal Promise: The Cursed Protector by SoraquillX

A regular student's life shatters when a desperate message from her sister pulls her into a chain of events that reveal the truth of her existence. Born with a curse that ties her to another world, she discovers powers beyond human understanding-tattoos of living shadow, a katana forged from her very soul, and immortality that defies death itself. But with power comes a promise: to protect her loved ones, no matter the cost. Drawn into a ruined kingdom once ruled by her family, she faces endless demons, ancient guardians, and the throne itself-the heart of her curse. Torn between her humanity, her angelic light, and her demonic blood, she must choose what kind of ruler she will become... or lose everything she swore to protect. At her side stands her girlfriend, who refuses to let her carry the burden alone, and her family, who remind her of the person she was before destiny claimed her. Together, they will face a world of shadows and fire, where love, sacrifice, and eternal promises are tested against fate itself.

ASHWOOD CREEK: ATHERIA'S EDGE by munaj_oel

Elias Thorne is a ghost in his own life, a high schooler in the sleepy, predictable town of Ashwood Creek whose greatest ambition is to survive another day without attracting the notice of his bullies. But predictability shatters the moment he touches an ancient stone and gains a terrifying power he can't control-a power that leaves a permanent, silver Static Scar blazing on his skin. His life of avoidance ends when he accidentally unleashes an impossible wave of force in the school hallways, drawing the immediate, intense attention of Kael Vance, the mysterious new student whose storm-cloud eyes seem to see right through Elias's defenses. Kael is no student. He's a guardian, an emissary from a crumbling, chaotic magical world known as Aetheria, and he has a chilling message: Elias is a newly activated Conduit for powers the world hasn't seen in centuries, and the chaotic forces of Aetheria are already hunting him. Now, Elias must navigate the drama of high school alongside the danger of a hidden war. Forced to meet Kael at the town's secret portal, Elias must quickly master his unwanted inheritance and confront the terrifying truth: Ashwood Creek is Aetheria's edge, and an ancient invasion is imminent. To survive, Elias has to trust the intense, guarded stranger who summoned him-a stranger who threatens to ignite not just a spark of magic, but a desperate, undeniable BL romance in the shadow of war. Can Elias accept his destiny and find the strength to save a world he never knew existed, before the chaotic darkness of Aetheria consumes everything he loves?

Ashes of the Last Sun by 6Sexy6SpongeBob6

Seventeen-year-old Ash Thorne lives in a world where beauty has withered, cities lie in ruins, and the rot-both literal and emotional-devours from within. Haunted by death, burdened by hunger, and tainted by the shadows that stalk his every step, Ash fights to survive in a crumbling world where cannibalism is whispered behind closed doors and love is a forgotten myth. With his younger brother Richard clinging to hope and his older sister Lilith drifting toward something darker, Ash walks the line between protector and monster. But everything shifts when he meets Storm Royal, a quiet boy with ink-black eyes and a past he won't speak of. Their bond grows in graveyards and abandoned places, carved from whispers and quiet touches, until love blooms in a place it was never meant to survive. As secrets unravel and the rot spreads, Ash must decide what he's willing to sacrifice-his soul, his sanity, or the boy who became his home. A story of blood and blossoms, grief and graveyards, tenderness in ruin. Love doesn't always save the world. But in the darkest corners, it just might save two boys.
