Xelqua Rising || The Lost One AU
Grian is cursed, or at least, that's what it seems. Trapped against his will to play a cruel game and sacrificing himself for his friends, Grian knows little of happiness. Now forced to throw away his very humanity itself, he must learn to become one of the very beings that toyed with both him and his friends. Will the games ever end, or is he fated to a life of pain and anguish until the bitter end? Note: this contains a lot of angst. There are also a few scenes with blood, but nothing too graphic. (I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to blood myself).

Life Hearts [A Third Life Fanfiction, previously called Three Hearts]
After an accident with a creeper, Blue wakes up in Third Life with no supplies and no memory of how she got there. She makes friends... but she also makes enemies. Enemies who will stop at nothing, even to the point of killing their own allies, to win. But Blue realizes that there are worse things to deal with than the Sand People and the Red Army. Not only do those problems inhabit and influence Third Life, but Blue's home as well, watching from the shadows... Blue finds herself thrust into a fight she never knew existed. Betrayals, losses, and sacrifices await her as she battles for her freedom and her life. Life Hearts is going to be book 1 of a trilogy Great to read if... - you're bored of Hermit POVs - you want more Third Life fanfics (like I do) - you're bored in general 🙃 I do not own any of the characters in this book except for Blue, my OC and main character Any ships are already at least semi-confirmed, like Joel and Lizzie and the Flower Husbands - I feel a little uncomfortable shipping people even if it's only their characters and not the actual people All art in this book is mineComplete
