Athena's Curse
In a kingdom where obedience is demanded and women are raised to serve, power belongs entirely to men-and punishment for disobedience isn't rare, it's expected. Here, silence is survival. Consent is irrelevant. And to step out of line is to risk everything. Athena Mae Kahn was raised to follow the rules, but she's always questioned them. Quietly. Carefully. With a fire she keeps buried beneath practiced smiles and polite nods. She dreams of change-of a world where women are free to think, speak, and live on their own terms. And when she's unexpectedly chosen by the crown prince to be his bride, she dares to hope that marriage might be her way in. Her chance to challenge the rot from within the palace walls. But Prince August did not choose Athena for her ideals. He chose her for her bloodline. Her beauty. Her silence. To him, she's a symbol-something to possess, shape, and control. Becoming queen will not grant Athena influence. It will trap her in a golden cage with a man determined to tighten the chains around every woman in the kingdom. Now, Athena must decide: will she become the docile wife he demands? Or will she risk everything to ignite the rebellion she's only ever dreamed of?

Tales of the Aether: A Steampunk Adventure
**In the colossal, clockwork city of Aethel, time is a weapon, and history is a lie.** High above the perpetually grinding Under-Aethel, **Flint Silverlockett**, a brilliant but naive Chronometry Apprentice, diligently maintains the fragile temporal integrity of his elite world. He believes the city's meticulous Regulators are heroes, safeguarding everyone from chaos with their powerful time-altering technology. Below, in the rust-choked, steam-filled depths, **Irene Oxide**, a fierce and resourceful mechanic, battles the insidious "Flicker-Sickness" that twists time for her people. She despises the Regulators, convinced their "fixes" are poisoning her world, and she's just found a mysterious "Broken Anchor" that might expose their deceptions. When a desperate temporal experiment throws them together, Flint and Irene find themselves unwillingly bound by a dangerous secret. He represents the ordered lie; she, the chaotic truth. As the Great Gear threatens to unravel Aethel's very existence, these two bitter rivals must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting timelines and deadly paradoxes. Can a Desynched mechanic and a Chronometry Apprentice find common ground-or something more-before their city's manipulated past consumes its future? **Discover a world where every tick of the clock is a choice, and the greatest danger isn't just time running out, but the truth finally breaking free.**
Destined Rivals, Fated Lovers
In the snowbound lands of Gusu, King Lan Wangji is feared for his icy silence and merciless justice. For him, rules are sacred-and dark magic is an unforgivable crime. Far away in the forgotten village of Yiling, Wei Ying lives a simple life-cheerful, chaotic, loud, dramatic, and way too charming for anyone's good.and also hiding a tiny, forbidden magical secret (okay, maybe not so tiny). He protects his people . To his small clan, he's not only a king-but a savior. When Gusu declares war on Yiling, the silent king and the theatrical troublemaker are forced to face each other. Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate? Fate has a wicked sense of humor. This is a BL (Boys' Love) fantasy filled with comedy, romance, mystery, overacting, and unapologetic flirtation. If you're ready for chaos, cuddles, and conflict-welcome aboard. The characters may resemble real people, but they are entirely fictionalized and do not reflect the real personalities or lives of any actors or individuals. Hate is not welcome here. Respect and kindness are always appreciated. Thank you for reading and supporting my very first story!Complete
