After lifetimes of fleeing the Church across Europe, Gwydion and Rei finally find a haven in the sleepy English village of Bannerby. There, in their castle overlooking the village and surrounding moors, the lovers are safe at last. Decades pass; and the castle slowly gains a grisly reputation. Generations of villagers warn their children of two pale monsters haunting the hills, neither wholly man nor spirit. And so, they are left alone with nothing but each other for company...
Until a dancing nun appears to steal the apples from their abandoned orchards...
Ophelia longs for freedom. The rigid rules of the nunnery, which she joined against her will, are suffocating her. Longing to return home to the city and pursue her dreams, she begins to rebel in hopes of being thrown out of the convent. Sneaking out in the dead of night; to drink, and dance, and explore the moors...
But when she steals over a wrought iron fence in search of apples, she is shocked to instead find a beautiful monster, pale as moonlight, watching her from betwixt the trees...
Torn between fear and their burgeoning love for Ophelia: Gwydion and Rei must decide... is their affection for her worth drawing the Church's attention once more?

'Such beauty, the likes of which I've not known in this life.'
A woman, dancing in the moonlight, her hair like spun gold. In one hand, she holds a crumpled black veil, as though torn of her head in a haste. In the other, an apple, cradled gently in the palm of her hand, like a still-beating heart.'

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer
I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they gave me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin took my husband's bed. I obeyed even when I carried his child. Then he burned me alive.

Love With Teeth.
Philip squirmed between his arms. His lips were cold against his own. But damn it was good. So good. Fuck. How did he even get in this situation?! Dating a serial killer?? This was insane!! Philip shuddered. He couldn't imagine what else he had done. Philip winced as his waist got pulled closer. Between muffled moans and angry pulls on clothes, Philip managed to choke out a sentence. "You're crazy!!" Just two words. But there couldn't have been more truth in them. The man grinned. "You love me." Yeah. He did. Philip loved him. More than anything. He flinched as he leaned his forehead against his own. "You know I'd never hurt you." He kissed Philip's neck. "You're the only person I'd never hurt. I love you." Philip's mouth went slack around the edges. "I love you too..." He whispered just before their lips met again and this time, he didn't _________________________________________ Triggers: LGBTQ+ Su!c!de/s£lf harm. Death. Trauma. Abuse. Mental health issues.

MxMxFxMxM "It's okay to quit, mami." Elliot whispered in my ear. Shivers shot down my back as I felt him move around me. I stared ahead, my heart beating wildly. The feeling of wooden pole lightly grazing my back. "He's right, honey. You can, we won't be mad." Vincent said. My eyes shot to his from across the mat. He stood there with his hands behind his back. I growled softly. I quickly turned and went to grab the pole but was stopped short when my body was slammed to the ground. "Mmm. Our angry little baby is getting quite frustrated." Close to my face was Sammy smirking at me. He had my body trapped under his. I felt desire and anger boil in me. "You guys don't play fair." I said softly. Sammy chuckled while he was doing that, I shot my knee up and hit his stomach. He yelped out and I quickly shot up. "Ha! I won." I said while doing a little dance. I felt a little kiss on my neck then my arms were being drawn back behind me. My eyes drooped a little as they continued down my neck. "Good job, little one. But what's going to stop you from me?" 𒊹︎𒊹︎𒊹︎ Arabella Davis is a orphan who can't remember anything from the time she is 10.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
THE DUKE'S TEMPTATION
Short Story of A Duke and His new Husband. The air was thick with the scent of wine, candle wax, and the perfume of the aristocracy, but all I could smell was him. Sebastian's hand was around my wrist before I could take another step, his grip firm-unyielding. My breath hitched as he pulled me away from the grand ballroom, away from the swirling dancers and idle gossip, into the shadows of a secluded alcove. The wall was cold against my back, but his body was burning as he caged me in, his hands braced on either side of me. His eyes-dark, hungry-devoured me as though he were a beast barely holding himself back. "Do you have any idea what you've done to me tonight?" he murmured, voice low and edged with something dangerous. His fingers trailed along my jaw, tilting my chin up until there was no escaping the intensity of his gaze. "Parading around that ballroom, smiling so sweetly, looking so untouchable, when I am the only man who should be allowed to look at you that way?" My breath came shallow, my heart hammering against my ribs. "Sebastian-" "I want to ruin you," he growled, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear, his voice sinking deeper into something dark and possessive. "Right here, against this wall. I want to mark you, claim you, so that no man would ever dare look at you again without knowing who you belong to." A shiver ran through me. My knees felt weak, and he must have sensed it because his hands were on my waist in an instant, gripping me tightly, as if daring me to run. As if he knew I wouldn't. "You are mine, Felix," he whispered against my throat, the promise threading through my skin like fire. "And I will remind you of it before this night is over."Complete
