[An 'Of Roots, Wings, and Wanderers' AU]
They were built in different shadows.
One group carved into loyalty so deep it feels like love. The other forged in escape, running from hands that tried to make them something they're not.
Six lives, shaped by lies they mistook for truth. When the hunters meet the hunted; when duty meets desperation, something breaks.
And when it does, nothing they were made to believe will survive the fallout.

Your's truly (Levi X OC)
Desperation comes in many twisted ways, with many different outlets, but the very best strategy to seek that which you desire is how you trickily fool the wise clock of time. Iris is running out of time, her desperation is a vixen with wings, a giant beast that's captured her body and soul. On a hunt to find her sister, she's running out of reasons, conclusions, hypothesis's. Who took her sister? Why? Who slaughtered her drug addicted father in cold blood?...and why did they leave her to figure the pieces? Was it intentional? Is she any closer to finding the truth and her sister now more than ever? Time is boiling down, before her secret missions in search to find out who ruined her family must end.Complete
The Enigma Protocol: No Brother of Mine (Book 1)
Two estranged brothers. One ancient secret. And nowhere to run, not from Enigma, and not from each other. But history won't hand you the truth. You'll have to piece it together yourself. Ask questions. The story might answer back. *** Teorin is close to uncovering the truth behind his father's disappearance, until a stolen drive puts him in the crosshairs of the one person he can't outrun: the brother who left him behind. Marcus walked away to protect his family. Now an old ally drags him back into his brother's orbit, forcing a choice: expose the truth, seek revenge, or protect the brother he thought he'd already lost. In a world scarred by solar storms, power isn't just political, it's biological. People are born with affinities-heat, memory, pressure, time-and someone in the shadows is erasing anyone who digs too deep. 📖 Told through prose, in world documents, and comment threads (yes, the actual comments). Each voice carries its own style, from clipped restraint to dramatic flair. The Enigma Protocol isn't just a story; it's a reconstruction. You'll have to decide where the truth lies. A slow-burn science-fantasy epic for fans of The Expanse, Mistborn, and Annihilation-where found family and fractured loyalties collide with ancient mysteries. 💬 Take part if you want. Ask. Dig. Connect the dots. The story gives as much as you do. ⚠️ Warning: Characters may break containment (yes, they might reply to you). Meet your host on the "Welcome Page"-an optional in-universe introduction. Also available on Royal Road.

She's the daughter of a buried past, and the twin of her missing half is still alive... waiting for her without knowing her. When Evelyn returns, no one knows who she is.

The Submissive Wives Estate
Three tangled romances. One beautiful estate. And three men who are hotter and bossier than any fairytale prince. The Shelsey Estate hides twisted ancient traditions where love can be ruthless and submission was never a choice. Until now. Levi Shelsey VII is the definition of "stoic heir with a dark side." He's got rules to follow and a legacy to protect with a suitor who seems perfect on paper... until he meets Charlotte, the shy American maid with a backbone that catches him off guard. She's off-limits. Too sweet. Too forbidden. Naturally, he's obsessed. Daniel Cross is the notorious golden boy of the Estate. Charming. Strict. Perfect husband material-if your idea of marriage includes punishment and control. He's set to find his perfect match, until Whitney Cherry crashes into his life seeking safety. Daniel is her ticket out of a life of struggle. But the domineering Mr. Cross proves to be more than just arrogant. He's everything she despises. And maybe everything she craves. Callista Shelsey is smart, spoiled, and absolutely not ready to marry anyone. Except maybe the man she's wanted since she was thirteen. Too bad her brother has other plans. And her new suitor? A little too good at putting her in her place. But he's mysteriously soft as she embraces her home's darker rituals with his guidance. For fans of dark romance, elite societies, discipline, forbidden desire, and spankings that mean something.Complete
This is Not My Home
What defines a home? Maybe it's where we lay our heads at night. Maybe it's the people we love and care for. Maybe it's a place away from civilization, or a feeling that can come only when we are at our greatest moments. Ollie Sky thought she knew the answer, enrolling into an academy she'd been asked to join. She was going to find a new home, one away from her family. She was going to make friends and join communities. Learn new things and perfect old skills. Life had been good, living in that academy. As one of its youngest students, she was always daunted by the large hallways, the professors, the students themselves. But most of all, the technology. Including time travel. Looking back on the question she was asked so long ago, it becomes obsolete and answerless. She has no home, no academy, no family, and no friends. A sixteen-year-old, trapped in a timeline that is not her own. ~ : ~ | + | ~ : ~ This is a prequel to Name by @Mizuthe_cat, following the character "Ollie."
