In a world of candlelit halls and whispered reputations, Elias Montrose-boyish, noble, and burdened by a frailty he must keep hidden-finds himself trapped in the rituals of courtship and society's relentless gaze. When duty binds him to the daughter of a powerful family, he resigns himself to a future of performance and pretense.

But everything shifts when Valentin Moreau steps from the shadows-an enigmatic gentleman of charm and unsettling allure, draped in secrets and velvet words. Some whisper that there is something otherworldly in him, a darkness too elegant to name. Drawn into his orbit, Elias begins to question the weight of expectation, the hunger beneath civility, and the dangerous longing that flares between them.

Love, in such a world, is perilous. Desire is unspeakable. And yet, by candle and vein, two souls entwine-torn between duty and the shadows that promise both ruin and salvation.All Rights Reserved

Bleeding Rose | Kol Mikaelson by Fates-of-the-Damned

The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.

The Creator by InfinityHexa17

(If you prefer a novel format please refer to the other version of my story; This version is a dialogue version) "The Creator" tells the story of Ethan-a boy who seems ordinary, but hides the most extraordinary secret. Long before his birth, he was the Prime Nexus, the very being who created the Omniverse itself. But refusing the chains of godhood, Ethan sealed away his true self, choosing instead to live as a normal human in the nation of Cognara. Now, after years of pretending to be powerless, Ethan's carefully built façade begins to crack. Mysterious enemies emerge, ancient prophecies stir, the Star Six, and his own abilities break through in moments he doesn't want to explain. As he juggles school, friendships, and the desire for a peaceful life and becoming a hero, all while keeping one secret: he is not just a hero, not just a god, but the very Creator himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it," - Octavia E. Butler ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
