The Split Crow mercenary company has been reduced to shambles. After what seems like a routine survey commission into an abandoned mine claims the lives of all but four of the Split Crow's members, the survivors begin to suspect that something great and terrible is at work beneath the earth. Their investigations shall lead them across the world of Quethal and beyond. This is their story.
So this is a book based partly on a dungeons and dragons campaign I took part in a few years back, continued with collaboration from some of the people who took part in it. The dramatis personae in the beginning will be updated regularly as new characters are introduced. In case you were wondering, I played Foundry. (A disclaimer: I do not own DND or any of its elements. Although this is a fairly original story, some elements in it ARE from dungeons and dragons. I am not getting payed for writing this, so it would be great if no one filed any lawsuits against me or my friends).

The Other Side of the Lie (EDITING, ON HOLD)
What if humans lived alongside witches, vampires, fey, and werewolves? Yeah, they don't though. They're divided into Factiones (no, that isn't a typo, go away Grammarly) by a starburst mountain range that is actually new, relative to the rest of the geology. Then someone dies. Of course. Not original is it? I suppose there's a good reason it always starts with someone dying. Well, being murdered in this particular case. I know, also not very original. But please, bear with me. Basically, the people in power are insane and dangerous. (There are really too many clichés here, aren't there?) And our not-so-normal band of motley heroes have to stop these crazy people. I understand that this is more or less the same plot line as 17% (minimum) of all books on the planet, but seriously, if you want to have a 12-year-old (almost) burn down/melt half a castle, this is your book. Be patient though, because it might take you a bit to get there. Enjoy! 1st completed book!!!!!! (I haven't edited it yet though, so if it seems a little rough it's normal. I'm having it proof-read and edited, but it might take a while before the updated versions are available to be published here.)Complete

TW: this book will deal with triggering topics. If you are easily triggered this is not the story for you, thanks. (Book one in the Starlight series) ─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Danika Archeron was born in the shadows. Always looking over her shoulder when her family wasn't looking. She was their protector even if they didn't know it. She had been training as an assassin and warrior since she was eight years old, and yet her family had never suspected a thing. What will Danika do when she's spirited away to Prythian with her little sister, surrounded by the creatures she'd been training to kill for as long as she could remember? ─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── I cut him off my smile unfaltering, "Think before you speak, the last male who didn't lost more than just his tongue." I know both High Fae caught the wording of male, instead of man when their eyebrows rose a fraction of an inch. "Is that a threat?" Hissy asked. "No," I replied, "It's advice." ─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── (Also!! just an FYI Danika is largely inspired by Manon Blackbeak, so that's why I used some of her fanart and such. I also might include some of Manon's abilities like her nails, cause I feel like that would be fun. ) ─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── ACOTAR fanfic- OC x Rhysand This book will finish ACOTAR and the next book will be ACOMAF ─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── DISCLAIMER: All characters go to Sarah J.

Harpers Quest Prequel - A Forgotten Realms Story
** Updated 09/11/2019** **Story is Complete** This the Prequel to the Harper Quest stories. I've basically kept the same story just redone how it has been set out by making chapters shorter so it is easier and quicker to read. Several years ago I started to write a story set on the Forgotten Realms which turned into an epic about a group of Adventurers called Brithic's Band. This was the original concept story and was based on a campaign I was involved with at the time. I thought I share it here seeing the story in it's entirety is really to long to share on places like Twitter, Facebook and DeviantArt. This is Fanfiction and isn't fully original as it is set in Forgotten Realms, so I will give credit to where Credit is due. The cover art is mine. The Forgotten Realms is the property of Wizards of the Coast. This is pure fanfiction and no infringement of copyright is intended Drizzt Do'Urden is the property of R.A Salvatore .Complete
(FGoD) Recovering What Was Taken (Book 2) (Discountinued)
A soft whistle blew by crystal dawn, mismatched by the broken harmonies who sought and fought their way home..Carrying the biggest secrets and horrors the multiverse cannot comprehend.

Treacherous Deals and Sinister Forces toil, the dead of negative nights as the one who corrupted the soil lay half awake in their bodily state.

Corrupted and one forgotten and formed to be forced upon different Fates and Destinies, they finally find a way home...But the troubles toil and coil as the ones who hunt at the table during the night tail the sly and coy couple. Home at last, they're wings and identity unbound. But the soil of time remain rotten and cruel over the once bound ones, new eyes watch and old faces foil. ------------------------------ I do not own the Fgod multiverse, that belongs to Harrish6 rightfully! I only input my own Idea's and situations into the Fgod multiverse. I also do not own any of the character's used in this rewrite unless I say otherwise. All the original characters and their designs go to their respective owners, go pay the creators of these wonderful characters some much missed appreciation and love! Warnings for this book - * Violence * Suicide * Swearing * Ships * Trauma * Fluff * Self-Harm (Also sorry about the Cover, I was lazy and took down the better pictures because it would half spoil the character design which is again, undergoing changes.) Started....? Ended...? (Nah dude, This ain't ending till I say it's ending.)Complete
Shards: A Tale of the Chain of Acheron
After getting out of the world-hopping business, a bloody season fighting the Elves out east was just what the Chain had ordered. Guerilla warfare in the ancient forests wasn't exactly a soft job though, even for the last of the Helltroopers, and the mercenary rank and file were ready for a bit of rest in the seedier neighbourhoods of Blackbottom. A week of gambling dens and brothels would likely find most of them getting antsy enough to willingly march wherever the next Contract would take them. They didn't get a week before the next round of bloodshed. They didn't even get to sleep in. ~~~ This is a Fanfiction novella about the Chain of Acheron, based on the setting created by Matt Colville and the story of MCDM's Chain of Acheron twitch-streamed D&D game. It is an imagining of the events of Blackbottom parallel in time to the first two sessions of their campaign, and focuses on original characters and the actions of the rank and file members of the last of the Helltroopers.Complete

A Court Of Past And Present
|| Highest ranking: #9 in protection ⚔️ #1 in A Court Of Thorns and Roses🌹 #7 in Sarah J Maas 🧝🏼♀️ || "What?" Rhys asked, frowning at Mor. She shrugged, "by the looks of it, your going to be a father soon." Darkness exploded through the room. Cutting out my vision, it seeped through the windows, blocking out any visible light. Calloused hands pressed down against my shoulders, holding me in place. Soothing talons scraped down my mental barriers, trying to pry them open. I could feel his presence through the dark, feel the warmth of his body as he stood in front of me. The darkness subsided to uncover the violet stare of Rhysand eyes gazing down at me. Talons scraped at my mental walls once more before he spoke down our bond, Is this true? I looked to my mate, "Yes." He receded a few steps, stumbling over his words, "how?" "Well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much-" "HOW?" He snapped, cutting me off. Sighing, I relaxed my wings, exhausted from today's events, and let them slide to the floor. "A witch put a spell on me," I muttered, unable to make eye contact, "one which I think changed the year I was living in." *** Feyre is the Hight Lady of the Night Court. Living out her life, she thought it was going to be a prefect happily ever after with her only struggles being breaking the news to her mate about her pregnancy. Little did she know the darkness looming within the background, waiting to strike. When a witch appears on her door step, the last thing she would of expected was to be cursed to another year, before she ever existed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a seperate novella spinoff of the acotar series.

Guardians of the Light (Book 1: Rebirth)
Many centuries ago, an unspoken darkness swept across the land taking all that was light and pure in the world with it. Creatures of this darkness roamed free to spread the darkness wherever they went consuming any trace of light remaining. In order to stop The Darkness from controlling the world, a group of priests took the remaining pieces of light and placed them within the body of two chosen children. They became known as the Children of the Light. Their sacrifice was not in vain, leaving behind spoken words for the next generation of children born with the pure light energy within them. Over time an organisation built on these words was formed called The Guardians, who were tasked to seek out the next chosen children and protect them from The Darkness should it rise again. Centuries have come and gone as the battle between the light and the darkness still rages on, unaware of the human race that creatures live among them and that a battle between them and the guardians has gone on for many years. Present day we find ourselves in a small city named New Haeven that has become the centre of the secret world of light and dark.The current story follows a Guardian by the name of Ronin. Ronin saw the faces of the new Children of the Light and was tasked by the Elders to track them down and protect them at all costs.The children were both college students and were one male and one female whose names were James Hillman and Sara Danvers..When Ronin went to see he ran into a ghost from his past, Lillian. The story continues on with Ronin seeking answers from the Elders about how a Guardian could come back from the dead.Complete
Translucent Shadows
Once upon a time in a wonderous land called 'Elsinore', the few citizens left have just survived an massive attack by an evil necromancer that has been haunting them for decades. This assault was so destructive that the radiation has spread to a virus that destroys most living things. A small percentage were immune but only high powerful equals (and orcs) that knew some sort of extreme magic made it. Most are unaware that this event has happened even though it wiped out 98% of the world's population. The main character, Crow gets extremely lucky with power and turns into an crazy nutcase. This is his back up story and reasons why he turned out that way. This is a prequel to another story that will be out shortly after this one is completed. Keep in mind that I wrote some parts two years ago so this may be out of order. Also you can skip the first part, it is just character descriptions. I'll be editing the mistakes once it is completed Thank you and enjoy! (Also thank you so much for the 1000+ views! :D)Complete
