In a quiet corner of the past, Mameko finds herself in the care of João, after escaping a life of cruel slavery. He is a kind-hearted sailor whose life at sea has taught him the depths of solitude and the strength of tenderness. Bearing the invisible marks of her own harsh history, Mameko struggles to find her footing in the unfamiliar calm of freedom João offers. Together, they navigate the delicate waters of healing and companionship, seeking solace in each other from the storms they've weathered.
As they learn the rhythms of trust and the language of care, can they forge a future that honors their pasts but is no longer anchored to them?
(Originally posted on ao3, decided to post it here too.)
(Also Author Note: Hi!! Just as a note, this work does take place in the late 1500s, and while I do my absolute best to preserve historical accuracy, I do take artistic liberties at times. Also, as a general warning, this first chapter is a bit rough, as it gives context into her capture and time in slavery. João probably won't show up until Chapter 3 or 4 so just stick with me here. Also I don't speak Portuguese so I apologize for any errors there.)

A Garden of Flowers and Bones [Lloyd Garmadon x Reader]
[LEGO NINJAGO FAE & FAERIES!AU] At first it doesn't seem like much of a good thing. But in time, it feels like stepping off the path into Fair Folk-infested territory and talking to a stranded Fae (who looks at her as if she's helpless prey) was a good idea. Because she made a friend...! Well, kind of. It's a bit complicated. Listen, he may be constantly attempting to trick her into being dragged off into the woods never to be seen again, but he IS good company. CONTENT WARNINGS: - Y/N has a middle name which she uses as a fake name because of the whole Fae-stealing-your-name-thing. Lloyd's discovery of her true name is an overarching plot point. - Suggestive Themes (no explicit content) - Ableism - Religious Content/Criticism/Discussion/Guilt - Period-Typical Sexism and Themes of Internalised Misogyny - Blood and Violence (TWs at the beginning of chapters) - Child Death & Miscarriage (not happening to the MC but as a consequence of the middle ages)

Leila of the Rogue [Book Four]
[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Leila may be a rather intelligent weapons expert working for a top-secret government facility, but she will often say how she is equal parts stupid and smart. Smart? She lost her arm and built a new one from scratch. Stupid? The damned thing could have killed her the moment she put it on. But, hey, gotta risk it to get the biscuit, right?

USUK Oneshots (Hetalia) [Completed]
A bunch of oneshots based around my OTP, USUK. I had planned on making this anyway, but I entered this into the ships contest that ProjectFandomUnity held forever ago, and have continued to update since. I am currently updating this book every Saturday or Sunday if I'm able. Also, requests for scenarios are open, so please suggest if you have any ideas you would like me to make. I do not own Hetalia, the picture used in the cover, or any of the songs/videos I insert for my songfics. EDIT: This book is completed, though I still hope you enjoy regardless.Complete
