In the depths of Atheria's Forest, Arbor - a lazy, fox-like humanoid - wants nothing more than peace. A quiet life collecting odd rocks and chasing pleasant dreams is all they've ever asked for. But fate rarely listens.
Their nights are plagued by twisted dreams of stars, tar, and snapping teeth. Their days are no better, spent training as a mage to join a Legion they never asked to be part of. Worse still, their memories are a haze, with no clear answer as to how they ended up here. Every day is a drag, but somewhere in the fog of their mind, a spark of hope remains - a hope to make sense of it all.
But unseen forces are moving in the shadows. Dark creatures stir, ancient plots unfold, and something hungry watches from the edges of their dreams. Arbor's world is changing, and whether they like it or not.

Trapped With Wings
[Complete - under editing] (A fan's side story of Upon Wings of Change) *I thank Crystal Scherer for the wonderful book that inspired this run off story that takes place in the same universe! I dedicate this story as a gift to her and all her readers!* Aspen wasn't the only one to be kidnapped and turned into a dragonet, but she WAS the only one who had a something to hide, outside of their human intelligence. Armed with nothing but the wings on her back and the claws on her feet, Aspen did her best just to survive her new environment. But just as she was starting to get used to her surroundings and her newly acquired skills, the rug is pulled out from underneath her once again. Now with the looming threat of aliens, aliens, and more aliens, Aspen has even more piled onto her already overflowing plate. Sneak peak: It wasn't fair. And knowing that unfairness was just part of life, didn't make me feel any better. Life had dealt us a hand of rotting lemons and all I wanted to do was throw them and make life take them back. But I couldn't. I was stuck with these rotting lemons and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of them. (Quick disclamer: Most characters within this story are my own. The universe is not mine. I might have slipped from cannon an intsy tiny bit. My story in no way rips off Crystal Scherer's original story of Upon Wings of Change. Only builds upon it. Please read the original before reading this side story or else it might not make a whole lot of sense. Also read the original because it's AMAZING.) (Going through editing! Chapters with a single star ☆ have been edited and revised. Chapters with two stars ☆☆ are completely new! Editing will start with the first chapter and end with the last.) Idea started June 16 2018 Started writing June 25th 2018 First chapter posted Nov. 29 2018 First Fanart given Jan. 20 2019 Last part posted March 15 2019Complete
The Monster's Stratagem (Lesbian Story)
Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself...

Torn
Book 1 of The Secrets of Spiritwood - Complete I was born and raised in Spiritwood with no intention to ever leave, until the choice is taken away from me when my family is put in danger. I return to my grandfather's cabin as the sun is setting only to discover my belongings have been packed. I'm forced to leave without the chance to say goodbye to the two people who mean the world to me. It's been nine years and once again the choice is taken from me. I have no option but to go back to Spiritwood after my grandfather passes but when I arrive, something isn't quite right. The busy hustle of the once quaint town is gone, the streets are eerily quiet and missing person flyers cover the windows of rundown businesses. My plan to deal with my grandfather's estate and skip town before anyone can see me turns to dust when I run into the very people I've vowed to never speak to again. In the end, all I know is that I'm left with so many questions. Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time? Will I be able to forgive them for all their secrets and lies? Will I finally allow myself to let go and fall in love? And why do I have this feeling that I may end up destroyed in the process? **T/W: Foul Language, Foul Attitudes, Violence and Steamy, Steamy Scenes.** Most Impressive Ranking: #1 - Menageatrois - June 3, 2024 #1 - MoonGoddess - October 22, 2021 #1 - Romance - April 12, 2022 #1 - Goddess - April 14, 2022 #1 - Werewolf - June 3, 2024 #2 - Mature - August 11, 2021 #3 - EroticaStories July 17, 2021 #3 - Night - April 14, 2022 #5 - Wolfpack January 19, 2022 #10 - Queen January 12, 2022 #75 - Life September 5, 2021Complete
The Bone War
A queer historical biopunk sci-fi set at the dawn of the Northern Crusades. A werewolf who survived the Ice Age. A knight trained to conquer. One carries the memory of extinction. The other, the fire of belief. Together, they'll uncover a war written in bone. ********* This is year 1200 AD. Snow hangs heavy over the Baltic frontier. The German crusaders have come--missionaries, merchants, and knights of the Cross--intent on converting the last forest tribes and seizing their land. Among them is Erhart von Rosen, a young knight bound by faith and silence. But when an expedition into the untamed north leaves him the sole survivor, he returns changed. Not with glory--but with questions. He speaks of a beast in the shape of a man. Of a green-eyed figure who spared him. Of an altar made of bone. In the fortress-city that will become Riga, Erhart's faith begins to fracture. The saints grow silent. His dreams bleed with frost and blood. And the forbidden texts of the old faith, he finds a name: Tarn--a memory made flesh, the last of a people bred to endure the Ice Age, their history buried by conquest and flame. Before the first drums of the Northern Crusades begin to sound, a new war awakens--one older than kingdoms, carved into the marrow of the earth. The secret Bone Crusade, never recorded in the annals of history. And as belief collides with memory, two paths entwine: One shaped by blood. One reshaped by choice.Complete

Foxtale
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera. Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty. Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn't ask for this, nor the trouble that followed. There's no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking. • Animalfolk leads in a world of men • Found family beneath the ruins of an empire • Reluctant Mentor and Reluctanter Apprentice • High Magic meets Low Fantasy • Character First Worldbuilding with vibe-based Storytelling Oh and uh, cover is temporary. Better than AI art, it's deranged, its Foxtale. ====================================================== Book is officially finished! Details of what's to come next attached at the end of chapter 48.
