A lonely immortal seeks Death, but she won't make release easy for him. The Fates have other plans.
...
For hundreds of years, Larkin has lived a miserable life of isolation. Immortality has been nothing but a curse and the only remedy is the one who cursed him in the first place. He's searched the globe, but has only found whispers and rumors. Just when he's given up, she walks casually back into his life and it takes everything in him not to lash out. He needs her to remove the curse, and she won't do that if he unleashes his rage upon her.
They were once lovers, then they were enemies, now Larkin doesn't know what they are to each other. He only knows she has the answer to the riddle of his extended torment.
ONC 2026
prompt #114: An immortal being, worn down by centuries and cursed so that anyone they touch dies, starts searching for a way to finally end their endless life. But Death, who has grown possessive and infatuated with them, refuses to let them go.

Not So Perfect
"She wanted to die, and I didn't see it." All this time I'd spent with her. I knew she was hurting, but I didn't see how much. How deep the darkness went. She's dying right now. And it's my fault. ****** After a public breakdown and a year-long battle with writer's block and depression, bestselling author Aelin Graves has run out of words-and out of excuses. Her publisher gives her one last chance: finish her next book in four months, or lose her career for good. Desperate to find the spark she once had, Aelin starts spending her days in a quiet coffee shop, hoping inspiration might find her again. Instead, she meets Sebby Hawk - the guarded owner who seems just as determined to outrun his past as she is. He built his coffee shops to escape the life expected of him. She came looking for a story. Neither of them planned on becoming part of one. But when you're already falling apart, love can feel just as terrifying as losing everything. Content Warning: This story contains sexual themes, strong langage and mental health struggles, like depression and suicidal thoughts and actions. This is a romance with HEA, but there will be a ton of hurt beforehand. Reader discretion is advised.
Slice of (magic) Life
Axle has known magic his whole life. Not the kind of magic from stage acts and swindlers on the streets, the kind that was used in secret, under the cover of lies and facades. Magic that, when found out by regular non-magic civilians, will be mercilessly sought out and destroyed if they weren't able to use it for themselves. This was his father's warning. But even when kept a secret, danger lurks ever so closely and Axle had to find a way to stop it all on his own... Or did he? Elaine knew she wasn't the only one. She had this feeling that there were others in her high school that did what she could do: real magic. Just when she was mustering up the courage to ask someone else that she thought was like her, danger strikes her school. A danger that she felt was related to her magic. She knew she had to do something about it. Should she deal with the threat alone like she usually faced everything else in her life? Or will she finally confront her suspicions about a certain boy from her school that she was sure had magic like her? ------------------------------------------------------- Huuuge thank you to the user @rainhither for creating this beautiful cover. You're the best!! This is an original story by me. The characters from this work are part of a different, but same universe, original novel I am currently writing. However, the main story of this universe will not be published here (at least that's my decision for now.) since I plan to publish/self-publish that work. Thanks for reading all the way to the end and I hope you like it!Complete
Destroy Me, Darling - ONC 2026
Cassandra Shaw, the heir to the renowned Shaw estate, has finally become eligible for marriage, allowing her to take over her father's clan. The monster-hunting clan is in distress due to his recent demise, and they need a brave and determined leader who'll take over. Unfortunately, she keeps refusing the advances of every single suitor, waiting for her true love. As time goes by, she starts believing she'll never find him, and eventually, she starts giving up, ready for any prospects that will enable her to preserve the future of her clan. Then, she remembers a prophecy in her dreams - a prophecy that might just help her solve everything - and two men, different as night and day, come to her like they were ordered. Hyacinth and Edmund Lawrence. Two brothers with a growing distance between them. A brooding rebel and a natural socialite. Both speak to a side of her she's connected to deeply. Both fascinate her from the day she meets them. Both seem destined to be the love of her life. Yet one will save her, and one will ruin her. The question remains: Which is which? *** 45. "Kings have honor, soldiers are brave, poets have heart, and all I have is rage!" (Sound by Naethan Apollo) 46. "We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you." (A slightly modified quote from "Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid) 115. A prophecy claims you will love two people. One destined to save your life and the other destined to destroy it. The trouble is, you have no idea which is which.
