At the pinnacle of fine dining in Chicago, Étoile is a temple to culinary perfection-and its new head chef, Graham Hartwell, is about to make his mark. Young, ambitious, and burdened with the shadow of a mysterious predecessor's death, Graham steps into the coveted role with everything to prove. But when he's told he can keep anything left behind in the kitchen, he unknowingly claims more than a legacy-he awakens something ancient.
Among the artifacts is a beautiful, centuries-old knife, strangely attuned to Graham's hand. His creations become transcendent, his fame meteoric. But as the accolades pour in, so too do the cracks in his reality: lost time, disturbing visions, a growing distance from the family he once cherished. And always, the knife-silent, watchful, hungry.
As whispers of the past begin to resurface and the cost of his genius becomes undeniable, Graham must confront the true source of his success before it consumes everything he loves. Slow Render is a haunting tale of obsession, legacy, and the perilous edge between passion and possession.

The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Concluida
Sanctify the Unworthy
You never should have wandered into the misted woods, where the world feels thin and wrong. As an outsider, you stumble into a sacred hunt, and into his path: The Vessel. His eyes shine with holy fervor, his hands steady as they deliver judgment. Yet something in your innocence gives him pause. But you're not the only one watching him fracture. From the shadows, The Archivist observes, cold, calculating, and obsessed. To her, your arrival is a spark. A chance to unravel him, to witness him break. Now you're caught between them: one who clings to divine purpose, and one who worships his unraveling. Both offer twisted forms of salvation. Both hunger to claim you. When obsession becomes devotion, and love becomes control, how long before you, too, are remade? (Originally posted on Quotev @Zestyzeti) (Posted on AO3 @Zesty_zeti)Concluida

Dove Isle
Kai Valdez was once the golden boy of Silicon Valley, a tech visionary whose groundbreaking innovations were set to change the world. But when his company crumbled under the weight of scandal and betrayal, so did his spirit. With his reputation in shambles and nowhere left to turn, Kai leaves it all behind, disappearing to the far-off shores of Dove Isle-a quiet island where the past is just a distant whisper. On this peaceful speck of land, Kai finds refuge in the most unexpected place: a small, unassuming diner. Swapping his sleek suits for a chef's apron, he starts anew as the cook, serving up hearty meals and comforting smiles to the tight-knit community. The locals, a colorful mix of dreamers and survivors, have no idea of his former life, and Kai is more than happy to keep it that way. As he navigates the slow rhythm of island life, Kai becomes entwined in the stories of those around him: the fierce artist who's afraid to love again, the wise fisherman with a broken heart, and the young waitress struggling to make ends meet. Each person he meets helps him see that while he may have lost his way, he hasn't lost his chance to make a difference. But when a familiar face from his past arrives on Dove Isle, Kai must decide whether to confront the world he left behind or continue hiding in the shadows. With his newfound family, Kai learns that sometimes the greatest success isn't measured in wealth or fame but in finding peace and purpose in the simplest of places. In the end, all it takes is one quiet island to teach him that life's true second chances don't always come with a spotlight.

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
