About the novel . . . (Spoiler alert)
Being a partner in genocide is unimaginable for a peaceful, inept shape shifter like Grainne.
But when her husband Slyxx holds her medieval homeland hostage for a seemingly worthless ransom she doesn’t have, the inconceivable happens, and Slyxx orders the destruction of Incorrigible. Despite growing despair, Grainne can’t let go of believing that survivors do exist, and it’s up to her to find them. When she detects an error in translation of a set of mysterious scrolls penned by a missing order of priestesses, she resolves to find the women she believes can lead her to survivors. She uses her wiles to escape captivity and thinks she’s on the right track when she finds an exiled colony of nomads and convinces them to settle in Incorrigible.
What she doesn’t realize is that she already knows the missing priestesses, and some of them are working to stop her from uncovering a secret alliance threatening her world. Even worse, one of Incorrigible’s new citizens wants what’s right under Grainne’s nose. Although quick-witted and more worldly for her travels, Grainne is about to learn just how naïve she really is when Slyxx resurfaces, along with two captives, and she discovers the stars aren’t what she thought they were . . . and neither is she.

The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic
The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin.

Trepidation: Act 1
10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.) ((I'll probably be reposting this with changes I've made to wording and grammar. This is flawed, but I'm still proud of it.))Complete

She is stuck in between, in the heart of a war attempting to broker peace for the orcs that saved her life while she fights to survive and understand the war inside her own heart and find where she belongs.

Veil of Control
Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
