A prophecy. A kingdom doused in darkness. A missing heir.
  
  Maya has had enough of acting slave towards King Zafar. Her hands red and raw from the scrubbing, she refused to accept that her life was aiming towards nothing except fulfilling the selfish and pathetic desires of a man who claimed the kingdom. The emblem emblazoned on the palm of her hand only reduced her to possession and property and she despised it.  
  
  But something has come up. A new-found prophecy. Has the oracle finally revealed something that could shed light on the castle that's been destined to a fate of rot and demonic prevalence? The discovery of an heir - an heir that's supposed to be diminished with the bright embers that executed his siblings and parents - leaves the castle in a riot. Can the kingdom finally surface from the dark abyss it has drowned it. Can Maya finally roam free in a province her ancestors once inhabited with good spirit? Or will King Zafar's demons catch up to bury the prophecy and assassinate any hope for the Kingdom's survival?

300 years ago, a bloody war was ravaging the continent. People were divided between the two houses of Gratia and Verita, who fought each other for resources, land and glory. Built upon the rubble of those days, the kingdom of Gratia stands tall. It is ruled by young king Aetrian, whose house prides itself in the construction of an ever-lasting barrier to keep house Verita and its followers away from their thriving civilization. But Aetrian, who was raised to uphold the current order, desires to be more than a fair-haired puppet dressed in jewels; the scholarly king harbors dreams of a united empire. * On the other side of the continent, a pitch-black rift gapes in the barren earth - named The Deep due to its unexplored depths. The cliffs of this supernatural valley mark the exile where the descendants of house Verita battle with never-ending threats, starvation and despair. Banished with no hope of salvation, they have had no choice for the last 300 years but to take a stand against the creatures rising from the Deep. Born as the sole successor of house Verita, Elanthin was raised to be queen of the exiles, expectant of a short and bloody life. Once a beacon of unwavering strength, her authority is starting to crumble as settlements fall prey to the dark creatures rising in growing numbers. The darkness encroaches on the Plains, feeding greedily on rogues, soldiers and farmers alike - until Elanthin is left with no choice but to offer her crown to the one enemy her ancestors had never bowed to.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

Two Moons by arlekretsch
6 parts Ongoing Mature
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.
