Vera, a necromancer at Ravenwood Academy, only wanted to keep her distance. But when a cocky, infuriating incubus named Silas crashes into her world, their duels ignite something darker-and far more dangerous-than either of them can control. Bound by a rare magical craving that feeds on desire, the more they resist, the stronger it becomes.
If they give in, it could consume them both. If they resist... it might kill them.
Dark academia meets enemies-to-lovers.
Forbidden hunger, dangerous magic.
If you love magical tension, morally gray leads, and slow-burning chaos that explodes into heat-you're home𖤐₊˚.༄☾⋆⁺

SUCK
I'm a vampire allergic to blood, and they say vampires are immortal. They fucking lied. A stake to the heart? Cute. The truth is blood-our own. Feeding on vampires keeps you eternal. Fall in love with a mortal (with them loving you back) and immortality unravels-first your fangs, then your power, then your life. For me, Auren Vale, that sounds like salvation. Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Complete

Elena Hart is tired of being average. Average life, average love. Boys notice her, sure...but never the ones she truly wants. Not Adrian Cole, the golden boy of Westvale High. Charming, untouchable, the boy who makes every girl's heart race. At a local carnival, Elena is drawn to the tent everyone avoids. The fortune teller is a whispered legend, a woman feared by all. But on that night, curiosity wins. With a sly smile, the woman offers Elena a vial of glowing liquid and a warning: "The magic will bring love... but true love will curse it." At first, the spell feels perfect. Adrian finally sees her. Wants her. Claims her. It's intoxicating. But then there's Dante Reyes....brooding, magnetic, more real than any fantasy crush. With him, Elena feels something deeper, something dangerous. And that's when the curse begins to twist. Because the moment true love stirs, the magic turns, and affection curdles into hate. Now Elena is caught between the boy she thought she wanted and the one whose love could awaken the curse and break her heart. ✨ A dark and romantic tale of magic, temptation, and the dangerous price of desire.Complete

Craving for your Embrace
After twenty years of captive slumber in a forgotten academy, you awaken to a world that is no longer your own. The Light Institute welcomes you not with answers, but with chains - and places you under the watch of its most feared creation. Seth, their Executioner. A shadow-born mystic whose power is unmatched, whose hands were shaped for death, not mercy. Bound to guard you. Bound to destroy you. As the secrets of the Institute slowly unravel, so too does the fragile line between duty and desire. And in the darkness of his presence, a dangerous truth emerges: sometimes the greatest threat to freedom... is the one you ache to surrender to, the one you crave to embrace.
The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
Curse of the Astralis
On a cold winter night, beneath a sky heavy with swirling snowflakes, I arrived at the gates of my new school-an ancient fortress of stone and magic. The torches lining the grand staircase flickered in the wind, casting eerie shadows along the castle walls. This was no ordinary academy; it was a place where the most gifted wielders of magic trained, a school of legacy and power. As I stepped inside, the air buzzed with enchantment, the echoes of centuries past whispering through the halls. Here, knowledge was a weapon, secrets were currency, and danger lurked beneath the surface. I had come to make my mark, to claim my place in a world where my family's name carried both prestige and expectation. But I was not alone in my arrival-some had been waiting for me. Some welcomed me, others watched from the shadows. This was the beginning of something far greater than I could have imagined. Malia IronHeartComplete
