Sometimes you have to see past the colour of someone's eyes.... to see the colour of their purpose.
In a world.... (sorry, I had to) where people are judged by the colour of their eyes, and ranked according to skill in combat, where the Queen is evil and the peasants are docile, one girl struggles with hopelessness, pent up rage, and her own emotions, while she lies her way through the days. Trying to act as people expect, she defies her own nature to maintain her image. But will she loose herself in the process....?
A hopeless princess.
An untrustworthy ally.
An unknown rebel.
And yes, a boy.
<sorry for the dramatics, I find it hard to summarize this story..... mostly because it's almost all still in my head.... somewhere.... I try to update every week, but I am making this up as I go along, so if I'm not feeling particularly creative, or have too much homework there will be a lull in the epic mess. Please comment and vote-tell me what you think about FIOM, or leave suggestions for the story. Thank you ssoooooooooooooo much to anyone-and everyone- who is reading this, enjoy!!>

The Queen and the Quisling
CHRONICLES OF CROWN AND CASUALTY BOOK 1- The princess is her parent's pride and joy. This quality will forever be reflected in her name, which can literally be translated to "King's Victory". Unfortunately, the "Victory" referred to in her name has always winded down to her compliance to everyone's wishes but her own, and, of course, her beauty; seen by everyone as one of the princess' dominant traits. She is the spitting image of her beloved mother, with her long, caramel colored hair that cascades in soft ringlets down to the small of her back and her blue eyes that remind everyone who looks into them of the beautiful ocean her palace sits near, who's frothy waves lap at the warm, golden sand. Yes, the princess is always told her eyes were a blessing given to her by the gods, but she knows that whenever her father looks into them, all he'll see is the woman he once loved who was taken from him too soon, and not, in fact, his beautiful daughter that was so lovingly left behind for him. She knows that because of his grief, she will forever be trapped inside the luxurious walls of the palace she grew up in. So no, she doesn't see her eyes as a blessing. In fact, she sees them as a curse, and she's accepted her fate, never once imagining that it could change. Little did she know, fate is only a suggestion.Complete

The Burden We Share
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Romance Her hair was as light as daylight, and her eyes burned like the sun itself. Liora stood frozen, heart hammering as the woman descended from her throne-each step elegant yet commanding. The closer she came, the heavier the air felt, until Elunara stood directly before her, gaze sharp and unrelenting. Liora tried to look away. She failed. Elunara tilted her chin upward, forcing their eyes to meet. "So... you're the one I'm meant to marry?" she asked, her voice smooth like honey laced with venom. Her eyes roamed over Liora's face, slow and deliberate. Liora knew she should answer. Knew silence might be taken as disrespect. But this woman-goddess-like in beauty, terrifying in presence-had stolen the words right from her throat. Elunara smirked, leaning in close enough that Liora could feel the warmth of her breath. She traced a finger along Liora's bottom lip, eyes flicking down with unsettling intent. "I don't bite, darling," she whispered huskily. A pause. "Well... not yet." ⸻ ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes mature themes such as explicit sexual content (smut), strong language, violence, discussions of incest, and instances of homophobia.

The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.

I'm sorry, but I'm only one of thousands of victims of the blatant and egregious plagiarism and copyright infringement made by the repulsive website I found my content on.*** For millennia, a magical barrier around the Sand Sea prevented an endless force of darkness from drowning the world. As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.Complete

Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you.
