For centuries, Vivienne has been a reaper against her will. Her touch is lethal, and her home a lonely fortress hidden deep within the woods. She has spent an eternity begging for an end to her immortality, desperate to find an exit from the guilt of her own obsidian hands.
Then comes Mortimer.
Charming and unaffected by her curse, he is the anomaly she never saw coming. As the ice around Vivienne's heart begins to melt, she finally finds a reason to stop seeking death. She thinks she has found an exception to her curse.
But Mortimer isn't the hero of a romantic tale. Behind his vast midnight eyes lies a truth older than time itself.
Vivienne wanted to die. Mortimer wants her to live forever.
In this game of Life and Death, there is no balance. There is only obsession.

Memento Mori [ONC 2026]
Sage Volkov has been alive for thousands of years. Everyone they've loved has died- at their own hands, for any living human they touch crumbles into dust. They're unable to get close to anyone and they've lost their will to live. Death--or Lola, as she prefers to be called--has observed Sage from afar for millennia, and has grown quite attached to them. She resolves to do anything she can to make Sage happy and keep them at her side, even as Fate tries to keep them apart. Lola and Sage strike a deal: if she can't change Sage's mind by the end of the year, then she'll finally end their life. [OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SUBMISSION-BASED OFF PROMPT #114]Complete

Blessed & Accursed - ONC 2026
Once, the Sorceresses of House Ifan were legendary for their service to the Sanctified Kingdom of Alkith. Invading Empires, malicious Demons and wicked wielders of the arcane were all foiled by their wisdom and the power of their magic. A curse placed upon their bloodline brought an end to those days, the final spiteful act of one of the last foes they defeated ensuring all who followed after would be beset by eternal dire luck. Centuries have passed since that day, and the passage of time, the arrival of new heroes to the Kingdom, and the march of technology has only cemented the decline of House Ifan's legacy. Lady Morgan has known this story all her life. Abysmal fortune is as natural to her as breathing. Leading a (relatively) quiet life as a breaker of less persistent curses and all-around aid in sorcerous matters, she has long since accepted that her idle explorations of her family's curse are unlikely to truly bear any fruit. But when the curse inexplicably begins to worsen, she is left with no choice but to deepen her investigation, even if it requires her to trust in a mysterious, impossibly kind stranger, and unveil secrets that some may have preferred to remain buried forever. Content Warnings: Light violence, references to depression, references to past religious and cultural discrimination, references to past child neglect.Complete
