It is the eve of the Great Depression. The Tremblay twins arrive in New York for a holiday, but instead of seaside fun on Coney Island, they learn one of them is destined to marry the Angel of Death ... or his mortal representative.
The Graces are a lineage of cursed men who commit murder to sustain the good fortune of their family, but the last two men of the bloodline will do anything to break the cruel spell, even if they hurt loved ones to succeed. When a pair of girls with a prophecy of salvation cross their paths more than once, they form an alliance to destroy the witch who torments both families.

Love Me Not (ONC 2025)
By a chance encounter, Lucien meets his true love, his fated. In his world, vampires and humans reside together mostly without conflict. There is a mutual understanding. Vampires need blood and humans supply it willingly in trade. Throw into the mix, Jocelyn, a sweet-smelling girl with a personality and attitude that blazes just as red as her hair. Jocelyn is visiting from a land unsettled, as of yet, by vampires where humans are still the hunters. She has only ever known disdain for Lucien's kind. Can Lucien change Jocelyn's mind before time runs out? Excerpt..... I stood up, leaned across the table, on my palms, smiled cooly, and said, "I'm not allowed to call you dinner." Her eyes widened, and she dropped her glass. The glass clanked against her dinner plate and crumbled. She immediately looked down at it and frantically started picking up the pieces. "Leave it for a servant," I sniped at her. Reginald, our head waiter, promptly appeared at her side and started picking up shards. Our servants were specially trained on how to clean up messes without having bloody accidents. She looked up at me with a renewed sense of hostility. "I will do it myself!" Reginald didn't move. He is trained to insist. "Please, Miss?" he asked quietly. He took hold of the piece of glass in her hand and pulled. She squeaked in pain and held her hand up in front of her face. It was in plain view so that everyone could see. Her finger had been sliced open. The sweet smell got so strong that it was almost irresistible. Prompt number: 11. Vampires are bound by an ancient destiny: their soulmate is always human, and this bond is governed by three rules. The smell of their soulmate's blood is irresistible, its taste is sweeter than anything else, and if the love is unrequited, it can be fatal. Fearing this inevitable bond, most vampires try to avoid it. But what happens when one of them discovers that their soulmate is a human who not only rejects them but loathes them?Concluida
Viper (Novella)
Once, Anselm ruled with ice in his veins and a love for blood on his hands. He was untouchable, untamed, angry--a man who had no remorse, no love, just indifference. A man whose love was as suffocating as his wrath. Ghislaine learned that the hard way. But time has a cruel way of unraveling the truth, and the sins of the past never stay buried. Two years into their arranged marriage, with their twin daughters caught between them, Anselm stands before her--no longer the cold untouchable man she once knew, but one who pleads for her forgiveness, for a love he shattered. Yet forgiveness is not easily given and reason aren't either. Not when wounds still bleed. Not when the ghost of his father's sins still whisper in the dark. The past isn't done with them. And some monsters must be slain before they can find their way back to each other. Even if it means drowning in blood first. "You before anyone, viper." He said, stalking toward me, blood staining his skin. "You will always tell me when someone hurts you. No more hiding. Don't make me go insane like this again."Concluida

Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids.

Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.
