Den De'narian is a Bounty Hunter. It's his job to take down lowlifes-everyone from petty criminals to men like Eilon Mi'antiae, a rogue prince of the most powerful race in Kracia. 

Unfortunately for the Court, Den isn't good at following orders-and Eilon isn't good at dying.

Now on the run from his family, Eilon and Den team up to beat the demons of their pasts. 

The problem with that is the ending... there doesn't seem to be one.

And forever is a gods-awful long time... especially for two men to whom Life has never been kind.

When Den is hired to find and kill Cal, no one expects them to become friends, least of all them.
But there are forces at work that are greater than either know, and their journey through the ages leaves ash and dust in its wake-both in the realms they've left behind, and in their own souls.
Though neither has any particular desire to live, they're unable to die-and the problem with forever is that time keeps moving forward, even when you want it to stop.

A collection of novellas revolving around Eilon Pasquale Mi'antiae "Cal" (Nightmare Kingdom) and Raiden De'narian "Den" (Kingdom Come). If you do not wish to be spoiled for those series, it is suggested you avoid these stories as they delve heavily in to the backgrounds and personalities of these two characters. 

Co-written by the Amazing, Awesome, Talented, and all round wonderful Eon Ice! (@Literacy101) xD Everything in this books IS canon as opposed to the works shared on our joint account @Nenduli, so yes, Den and Cal really ARE friends. You are welcome xDAll Rights Reserved

Season of the Wild Hunt(Book 1 of The Seventh Gate series) by PiperMcDermot

Mongrel, half-breed, dirty grub. Nyani's been called all these things, and she's about to earn a few more epithets. Banshee, spy, and liar, for a start. Her people stand on the brink of extinction. Her father and her lover are dead at the hands of her enemy - and her mother has lied to her all her life. If she wants her revenge, she will have to change the course of history. Ancient history. To do that, her only choice is to cross the mysterious Way Stones. Forced to unite with a self-exiled warchief in her quest against a mad druid and their common enemy, ties she has yet to discover bind the young widow to them both. As she is caught up in a web of secrets and betrayal, fueled by ambition and jealousy, she is torn between her desire for revenge and her need to belong somewhere - even this world. But Nyani's choices threaten to destroy the people she loves, including the one she comes to love most of all. For there are other forces to contend with. Forces that come from far beyond the Seventh Gate. And a mysterious foreign trader knows far more about those than he's telling. Then again, nobody is telling anyone the truth. *** Inspired by the great love stories and tragedies nestled in the pre-historic roots of Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology, the series follows a relationship across the course of a lifetime, set against a backdrop of worlds at war within themselves, and with each other.

Serpent in Shackles by peachtwist3

Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.

Sun's Shadow (Dusk Series - Book 3.5 Standalone - MxM) by AmeliaCrossGE

Obsession is the height of passion, but what does one do when they find themselves enthralled with their enemy. Talamayas Sol loses his mother when he stumbles upon a mage in the deserts of his territory, and he is plunged into a despair he's never known. Stricken with grief, he imprisons the murderer and wipes out every last mage of the Song-a human supremacist mage family that had murdered his kind for nothing more than the joy of their extinction. Through his pain, Talamayas finds himself leaning on the man in his dungeons, be it only to torture him for the relief it grants. It was anger at first, but as he learns more about the circumstances of his mother's death and the terrors that fill Wren Song's nightmares, he is inescapably tethered to the man in his dungeons. Why can't he just kill Wren Song and move on with his life? What keeps him close to the mage and anxious when he leaves his side? Is there more to it than obsession and a need to crush the enemy of his past? If there is, what does that mean for him and his people? Take a step back to the start and follow Talamayas Sol and Wren song through their struggle in the deserts of the east. Learn just where their animosity began and how working together changes and shapes the hearts and minds of men grown in a time when violence was the only way forward. (This book is Standalone, but does reference events of the Dusk Trilogy) (Starts at the beginning of Dusk Trilogy, and Ends after it's completion)

Cinders [Completed] by AHobbitPun

I'm standing in the gateway to the larger ballroom, almost too far away for my weak eyes to see the three figures that glide onto the stage. The King and Queen walk side by side until they come to their thrones, the Prince walking about five feet behind and moving towards the smaller throne to the King's left. The King and Queen sit down on their thrones in unison. The Prince doesn't. Even I can see the way his shoulders are bristling, a sort of confused wonder dawning on his face. And I would swear he is looking directly at me. //// Lee Collins wants to help her sister, Lucy. She has a vision of a future away from their dad, where Lucy could be healthy and they would have some chance of happiness. When Lee's only friend helps her sneak into the royal ball on the minuscule chance that an attending doctor would be willing to help, Lee ends up fleeing the party early, chased by none other than her mate. Lee finds herself locked in from all sides, desperate to escape the suffocating implications of a mate but frantic to fight for a future for her sister that she still believes possible. Working in the Royal Palace to save escape money is a terrible idea when you have a controlling father, but it's an even worse idea when the mate that you're avoiding is the Prince. //Marked Mature just in case for violence. general trigger warning.

Love or Revenge by DustinManga

(My First Published Story) Enjoy! Eighteen year old Kyle Mason has been a Bounty-Hunter ever since he was fourteen years of age. Reasons were; when Kyle was nine years old his parents were killed by two men. It triggered him to the extent to get his Revenge.

Eventually, Kyle was able to crossroads with Carlee. Kyle seemed to notice that Carlee was a very different person, in many ways and situations. That dragged him into having more personal feelings than revenge for the beautiful mademoiselle. Sad thing is though, when revenge is on the line, and a silver dagger is on track; will Kyle be able to change himself for Ms. Parker, or will his affections be meaningless toward being able to propel the dagger into Carlee's sweet and tender heart. After all, Carlee seems to fit as Kyle's Soul-Mate of Revenge.

Luminaria by Wrifeima

L U M I N A R I A In desires we chase, what stakes shall we embrace? Pinaniniwalaan na ng karamihan na sa gitna ng kasiyahan ay may kaakibat na kalungkutan. Kasunod ng halakhak ay daloy ng kalungkutan, at sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon, hiniling ko na sana hanggang doon na lamang iyon. A price of happiness that pays the condition of sadness Until the very last drop of second I have... I wished to feel the condition of remorse. Yet, I never had the chance to feel anything. Dahil ang kapalit ng kasiyahan ay ang aking kamatayan. I thought my life ends there... but that is how it actually started. Never been in my wildest dreams to die on the day I was born, and worst, to open my eyes where everything is unknown. The place I found myself in, the people surrounding me, and even myself-or the body I have, to be exact. I died as an ordinary, untamed, reckless and free teenage city girl, thinking it'll be that way until my very last breath. However, I was wrong, because I came back to life as a princess with cold chains on my body. Isang prinsesang pinagkaitan ng kalayaan at nakakulong sa rehas ng nakaraan. She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.

Them (K/DA x Male Reader) by WoffleStomp

-You are Y/N L/N, some people call you a psychopath, some people call you their savior, while others may just call you a profitable business partner. You may have no powers, that you know of, but you wouldn't need them anyway. You were discharged from the Noxian army and forced into taking the blame for a war crime you didn't commit. You are capable, you are unstable, and the Ionian prison can only hold you for so long. You are too crafty for your own good, you could kill and strategize before others could walk. You and your cellmate make a plan to break out, and when you do, you are greeted by an old friend waiting for you at the end. You go straight into illegality, developing a name for yourself; "The Black Death". All of your "business" dealings lead you to the K/DA, you do everything in your power to be loved by them and protect them, and I mean everything, even if it involves stabbing your friends in the back, even if it involves acts of violence, even if it involves manipulation... [SO FAR, EXPANDED AND ENHANCED HAS NOT BEEN STARTED, AND THERES NO PLAN TO START IT AS OF 7/3/24(US), SORRY.] -WARNING: This is one of my earlier works, there is going to be plot holes, pacing problems, and the love comes horribly fast because I didn't understand it at the time. There will be psychological abuse, dark undertones, dark overtones, drinking, perhaps drug use, blood, gore, violence, perhaps excessive violence, and probably sexual content. Also, this will be one of the darkest, PTSD-ridden Y/N's I write yet, that's the plan. It's cringey...

"No Life 'Til Leather" by NUmaker

Sometimes shit happens. Hey, it's not always your day, it's alright. One moment you're riding high, soaring above these mud-riddled plains with the king of mercs by your side, another, you're running far away from the crater he blew himself up in. You've really outdone yourself this time. W's dead, there's angel blood on your fingers and something itches to grow out of your skull. To pierce those gray curls of yours and bask in the twin moon's soft gaze. Something brewing deep within, eager to dim that halo forever and shatter your wings. A piece of you that's always been there, always hiding and growling, waiting for its moment to shine. So, hit the lights, Andy. Give it some stage time. Let yourself live a little. Throw out that Lateran jacket, put on some leather. Grow a pair of horns, befriend a fiend. Forget Laterano, forget Lungmen. Kazdel is your new home. And your new home's where you rightfully belong, you little rascal. Hellooooo people !! Here we are, a SPIN-OFF story of my "Curly Head" series, in which Andy actually went on that one job he previously ditched and got himself into quite a predicament. In this one, I'll turn the angst-meter down, I promise. W and Andy, happy times. :D This is, of course, perfectly fine as a standalone work, I think, but if you're new and wanna brush up on the lore then you can do just that! Series starts with "Goodbye Curly Head", rest is pretty straightforward. Summed up: thirteen year old boy from Laterano ships himself off to fight in the Kazdel Civil War for peacekeeping reasons, situation turns to shit at the end of his tour, forced to stay in Kazdel and make money as a merc, meets up the first W's crew at the age of sixteen, circus-slapstick follows. Ps: I'm not giving up on "Almost Green", only taking a small break and also delivering some much needed fluff-ish stuff. Tell me you thoughts in the comments, I tend to reply to every single one of them and love reading through them all! Have fun!
