Vengeance
[complete; editing, ROUGH draft] "Say something in Spanish." I snorted, "Like what?" "I don't know... I just want to hear you speak it." Our gaze stayed on each other for more than it should've. But I couldn't look away. Her hair laid out behind her on the pillow, her hands under her cheek and her head nearly under my arm. I inhaled, "Puede que me esté enamorando de alguien que nunca me amará." She parted her lips and for a second I thought she understood me, my heart skipped a beat until she spoke, "And what does that mean?" "It means, this woman beside me asks too many questions," I lied. ***** Oakley Marrero has been nothing but a rebel since witnessing her parent's murder at the age of eight. Leaving everything behind ten years later, she settled down in New York City in hopes to track down the killers that have never been found. While on her mission, she had what she thought was a one-night stand with August Creed. But when she collides with him while just mere seconds away from catching her parents killer - getting away yet again - the two find out they have more in common than just sexual attraction. ***** -Does not portray IRL Mafia's- Start date: May 22nd, 2021 End date: Nov 18th, 2021 Status: Complete Achievements: 50k reads- July 22nd, 2021 2k votes- Aug 13th, 2021 100k reads- Sept 16th, 2021 3k votes- Sept 24, 2021 4K votes- Dec 10, 2021 150k reads- Dec 10, 2021 200k reads- Dec 18, 2021Zakończone
Under the Hard Blue Sky
The Hartkos has seen every city from Babylon to Egypt. She's defied kings. Led armies. Brokered treaties. Confronted gods. None of it prepared her for raising a child. Now living among the Ekweian nomads at the edge of the known world, the Hartkos once more felt trouble on the wind. Restless gods spoke quarrelsome words that many were all too eager to hear. Change was coming. Could she prepare her daughter to face it in time? Growing up with a legendary mother is hard. Glory, leadership, battle, Ameza couldn't care less, despite her mother's best efforts. Ameza craved only one thing: friends. That is, until the Hartkos' mysterious murder forces Ameza to rethink her future. But when friends become enemies and enemies are sometimes gods, where does one look for help? As powerful gods move mortals like pawns, Erinys, Goddess of Vengeance, is watching. And she does not like what she sees. With sacred laws breaking and secrets afoot, Erinys needs her own pawn to set things right. Who better than the guilt-stricken daughter of the murdered Hartkos to force those secrets to light? The stories of mother and daughter, gods and mortals, intertwine in this merging of myth and history to recount one of the greatest untold stories of history: the origin of the Amazons.Zakończone

Nietzsche (L Lawliet)
I'd like to say our story started when I was handed the Death Note by the golden, bejeweled Death God, but that's not the true beginning of my story if I'm being honest. No, my story started years in advance, before this murder book found its way to me. Technically, it started before I was born, really. You may be wondering, "how can your story start before you were born, Nietzsche?" Fate, dear witnesses. Fate. (I don't remember when I started this, but it's not finished, it will probably never be finished, I'm just publishing it out of boredom. Sorry.)Zakończone
