Many have forgotten about the technology of the past. Computers and energy fueled by electricity. But that's what they wanted. That's what they decided 200 years ago.

Sage Doweger, or Red as they call her on the streets, has been getting mysterious messages. Notes telling her to watch the shadows. Could it be related to the missing girl who was supposedly taken by a mechanical monstrosity?And what does it all mean when these notes lead back to Lucian Bradshaw, a nobleman with a hidden secret.

Mud and Gold [Arthur Morgan] [RDR2]
➵ ❝Y'know... I ain't a good man.❞ ❝You're good to me, and that's enough.❞ ➵ Arthur Morgan had heard many tales about grand treasures hidden all over the Heartlands, yet he wasn't one to believe in mere rumors as such, most claimed by drunken lowlifes spending their miserable lives in rundown saloons. Until the day the Van der Linde gang saves a farm girl from Colm O'Driscoll's boys, and something more; with a legitimate treasure map in the girl's possession, the chance to earn a great amount of gold arises, and is far too tempting for Dutch van der Linde to turn down. Arthur takes it upon himself to find this secret stash of gold - and it's during this treasure hunt where the outlaw finds out more than he'd bargained for; the gold is not the only secret that has remained hidden for far too long. ➵ Arthur Morgan x Fem!reader ➵ Warning: this story contains foul language, violence, gore and death. ➵ Credits: RDR2/Arthur Morgan belongs to Rockstar Games, I only own my writing. ➵ Cover edited by @catharsxs ➵ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED RDR2, BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN THIS STORY !!Complete

Tempris
[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.Complete

Elyra: Legend Reborn
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.
