In a dystopian future, magic runs wild while technology rules the world. After the second war with the Cretarians, the race of people who could wield magic and powerful abilities, humans have retreated into Bound societies where they hide from the Cretarians. The humans have found a way to protect themselves from the power of the Cretarians and have put huge numbers of people in cities with the Boundary around them, to protect them. Within these Bound cities, Academies have been placed to train the youngest soldiers to be able to defeat the Cretarian threat once and for all.
Thackeray Swann, one of the brightest minds of his age, has been chosen to go beyond the Boundary to study the Cretarian world but what he gets is anything less than what he expected. Suddenly when his world is turned upside down, he is thrust into the ongoing battle between Light and Dark, a war that has been raging for centuries. Everything he has known has changed and with it his view on this Bound world. Maybe there is a chance for redemption when he meets Kida, the deadly but beautiful princess of the Cretarians who shows him the truth of the world and with it, the power of the Light. But the light is dying and only this rebellious soldier can save it.

Star Kissed
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.Complete

Just shy of her twenty-first birthday, the once crazy college student leads a group of rebels through dangerous territory in an effort to escape to safer ground, only to face mountains of hardship in between. As the rebellion turns to full civil war, Rem tries her best to hold onto the last possession of her past life that she has, while juggling the relationships she builds on her journey. War changes every participant, and that's no exception for the Rebel princess.Complete

Clackers
There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.Complete

But one night, one night he saw her...and that is how their story has begun. What will Dream of the Endless and sassy Witch discover on a journey through fears and nightmares?

Notes from author: Paring: Morpheus x f!reader, Sandman x f!reader Genre: Horror/fantasy with elements of slow-burn romance Outside of characters from Sandman you will find here John Constantine and tiny sprinkles of Supernatural. What can I say, I am a huge fan since 2005. Originally published on Tumblr under the same title. My Tumblr account @elena-mayfair I do not own the characters appearing in this story. The story title is a wordplay on the song The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace by The Amazing Devil. A few title chapters are also either inspired by or a wordplay on the titles of their songs.Complete

I want to publish them all at once) - Cover edited by me - Hello everyone, my name is Morgan. I've loved writing since I was a teenager. I'm almost 30 now and my dream is to become a published author. In the meantime, I let my imagination run wild to create new fiction based on series, video games or films I watch. I was watching the Sandman series for the second time until recently, and here we are! I hope you like it as I do. I welcome all constructive feedback!Complete
