Every soul bound by love must pay its price - some with memories, others with their lives.
THE GREEN THREAD
"We were never meant to last. We were meant to burn. And call it love."
Between dream and reality lies a fragile thread - green, alive, and unbreakable - binding two souls fated to meet yet destined to fracture.
Lyra Elor has always lived between worlds - too soft for reality, too real for her dreams. Every time she closes her eyes, she sees him: Aren Larsen, a man both impossibly near and heartbreakingly unreachable. In those dreams, their hands are tied by a thread that tightens with every stolen heartbeat, every whispered word, every touch that burns like fire.
But love in this realm isn't gentle. It's costly. Every time Aren reaches for her, Lyra loses a piece of herself - a memory, a heartbeat, a fragment of life - yet neither of them can let go.
As the green thread pulses through them, reality begins to blur. Dreams bleed into waking life, shadows twist into desire, and the line between obsession and salvation grows thinner. With Eira, her steadfast friend; Finn, the fool hiding dangerous wisdom; and Aren, the man who would tear worlds apart just to keep her near, Lyra must uncover the secret behind the thread - and the price of a love that defies time itself.
Because some loves aren't meant to save you. They're meant to unmake you - softly, completely... and forever ♡
I wanted to write about the world we touch when we close our eyes - where love isn't real, but it still hurts like it is...

The Weaver's Source
Lyra has been waiting for her Weaver to find her for years, unable to leave the safety of her home and only connected to him through passionate dreams - remembering nothing about him apart from his wild, sensual song. When the lone Weaver Grigore finally sweeps into her life, she finds herself instantly drawn to him, instantly recognising him as the man she had dreamt of for years. However, Lyra quickly runs into problems. Not only does he fail to recognise her but he's nothing like she imagined; cold, stubborn and determined to keep himself away from her. Rejected but determined to keep him safe as her magic whispers of his death, she follows him through danger and blood as he stalks his own hunt, desperate to shake the hooks that keeps pulling him back to her. First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.

In the enchanting world of Lyra Shadowdusk, nothing came easily. Life had taught her valuable lessons, and she had learned them the hard way. Concealing her true identity from her closest friends was a necessity, a secret burden she carried in the depths of her being. Each day, she wore a mask of normalcy, carefully guarding the truth that lay dormant within her. But the battle within her heart was the true test. Lyra's emotions waged a relentless war, their intensity echoing through the very fibers of her being. She yearned for connection, for the solace of companionship. Yet, the weight of her hidden identity, like an anchor, held her back. Every step forward was a delicate dance between longing and restraint, leaving her heart tangled in a web of conflicting desires. And so, with a heavy heart, Lyra chose to depart. She ventured into the great unknown, seeking respite from the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to consume her. Years passed, the hands of time unforgiving in their steady march. And yet, even in the midst of her journey, she discovered that escaping the clutches of the past was an illusion, a fleeting hope born from desperate yearning. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the darkest corners of her soul. One could not simply run from their past; it clung to them, like a haunting melody that refused to fade away. The scars of yesterday remained etched upon her spirit, demanding acknowledgment and resolution. Lyra had no choice but to face her history, to confront the shadows that whispered hauntingly in her wake. And thus, the hardest chapter of her life unfolded before her. It required courage beyond measure, a tenacity to unearth buried secrets and confront the demons that had long held sway over her existence.Complete
Wake: Whispers from the Underland
After a devastating breakup, Lyra finds herself lost, both emotionally and physically, wandering through a dark and mysterious realm known as the Underland. In this haunting place where shadows stretch endlessly and time slips away, Lyra is consumed by her grief and confusion, unable to find her way back to the world she once knew. In the depths of the Underland, Lyra meets Damien, a seemingly perfect guide who promises to heal her broken heart. With his gentle words and comforting presence, Damien convinces Lira that he can help her move on from her past and restore her peace. But as Lyra's trust in him grows and love starts to blossom, so does her unease. Something about Damien doesn't feel right. His kindness seems too perfect, his offers of solace too convenient, and soon she begins to suspect that the Underland-and Damien himself-are not what they appear to be. As Lyra delves deeper into the twisted and deceptive landscape of the Underland, she learns the terrifying truth: the realm thrives on the souls of those who are lost and broken, offering false healing in exchange for their soul. To escape before the Underland consumes her soul, Lyra must confront her deepest pain, face the emotional scars she's been running from, and discover the strength to heal from within. But Damien, now revealed to be a sinister force in the Underland, will stop at nothing to keep her trapped in his false embrace. In a race against time, Lyra must break free from Damien's manipulative grip and find a way to reclaim her heart before it's too late. The only question that remains: can she heal in time to save herself, or will the Underland claim her soul forever?Complete!["𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/394887789-256-k403548.jpg)
"𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]
Lyra Ainsley is just a regular college student or at least, that's what she thought. Since she was ten years old, she's been having the same strange dreams over and over again. In them, she sees two people: one is a king, and the other is a warrior. But it's always the king who stands out. She dreams of dancing with him, talking with him, feeling completely safe by his side. For years, Lyra convinced herself it was all just her imagination. That is, until she started college and saw him. The king from her dreams. He was real. His name? Adrian Caellum Virell. A fellow student at her university. From that moment, her world turned upside down. She realized those dreams weren't just dreams. They were memories. Pieces of something real. Something from the past. But then... there's the warrior. The one she barely remembers. His face never appeared clearly, and his presence in her dreams was always quick, like a whisper. Unlike the king, she doesn't feel the need to search for him. Maybe because he's still a stranger in her mind. Will she ever meet the warrior in real life? Or will she let him go, and stay with the king who feels so familiar? Why is she even having these dreams in the first place? Is it truly her past she's remembering or something her heart made up to fill a void? And if it is her past... what really happened back then? What's the reason she's seeing it all now? She doesn't know yet. But soon, she will.Complete
Prescient
When dreams stop being dreams, things get confusing. Anna is back - back in a place she once thought was just a product of her imagination. The silvery locks, bluish-grey eyes, and the pointed ears prove that much. Her dreams were memories. The same memories that led up to her death... well, her first death, before she slipped through a crack in the Halls of Mandos. Ash, blood, and fire haunt her, the sounds of a dying, burning city echoing in her head whenever she tries to rest. Coming back from death is never easy. Death leaves scars on one's very soul, but who better to heal those wounds than the company of her kin? There's only one problem. Returning to her kin in Arda means facing the elf she sacrificed her life for. The one whose heart she broke all those years ago. But she doesn't have an option to stay away. Every day the call of the sea grows stronger for him, and it's not his time just yet. He is their emissary, and it's time they finally gave something back. Even if that something happens to be the love he's convinced he lost years ago.

LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.

A bone from a bird's wing
"...You are the Archon of This World. You are a living sign that Bizanth is a country chosen by God. Now, in the time of war, it is especially important to remind people of the blessing from above..." War, heresy, and one drunk too stubborn to die. The Empire of Bizanth is falling apart - caught between bloodthirsty priests, internal contradictions, and a never-ending war with the Arya, a bunch of mountain savages nobody can seem to beat. After the death of the Red Emperor, his iron-fisted reign gives way to uneasy politics and whispered betrayals. The new Empress wants peace. Maybe. To broker a truce, they send Lyn: Archon of This World, washed-up preacher, former brothel accountant, and possibly the worst diplomat alive. But not everyone wants the war to end. And Lyn - drunk, depressed, and haunted by secrets even he doesn't fully understand - might be walking straight into a trap. Is he a joke, a scapegoat... or something far more dangerous? *** The author had no intention of offending any existing religions or cultures. Bizanth can, with some effort, be loosely associated with Byzantium around the 6th-7th centuries, and Arya (with even more difficulty) with one of the pre-Islamic Iranian peoples, but for the most part, their culture and beliefs are fictional. This text has little to do with history; it contains elements of postmodernism and irony. And while I try not to take it brutally serious, it is a rather heavy work. Its central themes are the vicious cycle of violence, psychological trauma, and a sense of alienation. Oh, and humanism :) Feel free to point out any errors, typos, or stylistic flaws. Also, English is not my first language. (But the slang and overly modern expressions in Lyn's POV are intentional).Complete
