Dream of a place that has almost everything someone would want in it. There is no poverty, pollution, or anything that seems to do harm to the world. Everyone seems happy, content, and follows a life of comfort and joy. Love and hope are almost tangible things, and anyone can feel it while in that place. Birds sing, and the animals there mingle and live in harmony with the humans. The shining sun is a stable object in the sky.
Now, with all of that in mind, flip that image upside down. The aforementioned poverty and pollution come back in full force. The tangible love and hope sours and shrivels into something darker. Car alarms and screams are a part of this place's background noise. Smog clouds cover the previously blue sky.
These two places seem worlds away from each other, but they are only separated by a wall that seems to split the world in half. The wall, giving the impression that it rises up into the heavens and goes beyond even that, is the clean side's salvation.
At the same time, it is the darker side's bane. Many live on either side of the wall, but the darker side's people are dying due to the pollution that the clean side has trapped them in. The clean side, Sanctum, lets its people live a happy life, while the children of the darker side, the Rot, were doomed from birth to short lives until sickness or confinement claimed them.
The wall Aegis has stood for two hundred and ninety-eight years, taken care of by the Sentinels of Sanctum. Guarded by their elite, Sanctum's citizens hardly ever thought about the Rot's blight. After all, their king would always take care of them.
Something out of sight is out of mind, but this blight's salvation is about to be in full view.

Shadows of Elysium: The Laughing King
Once upon a time there was a world, much like our own. This world is gone. The machinations and wars of man saw to every manner of apocalypse. What was left is a world as nightmarish as it is fantastical. Gunslingers and swordsmen ply the same trade. Science, chemistry and magic are indistinguishable from one another. The monsters prey on all, but the true villains will always be human. Humans who have walled other humans in to the most violent part of The Husken Earth, The Wastelands. The Immortal Red Eyed Man sits atop this wall and uses his airships to drop experimental drugs into The Wasteland. Both mutants and parasites live under the shadow of the Abominations birthed. Monsters and men fear their brothers and sisters who fall prey to the allure of Elysium. It's hard to tell what is more addictive, the magical drug itself or the power it promises. {End Blurb} [Lore] Only one wall was ever built to protect the non-cannibalistic mutants of the Grey Coast and the inhabitants of Valoria from the true Wastelands; it has fallen. The remaining warriors built a great defense to fill the gap in the frontline wall. This outpost was overrun and the warriors that defended it became too few. They did the best they could and many died in the battles to keep the True Wastelands at bay. Survivers became little more than wanderers, sell swords and try hard defenders of the inhabited wastes. This is the tale of one such wanderer and his mission to unite the Wastelands against the abominations created from Elysium. This is the tale of The Wandering King and his sadistic counterpart.Completa

And when the bond starts to drive him mad, he'll tear kingdoms apart to find the omega who was never supposed to matter... But may have been his mate all along.

Blood and Thunder
You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister.

Somber as Rain
For the lost souls who wander through storms, searching for shelter in the dark- may you find your anchor, and remember that even the rain knows your name. The Heir Ryker was born into the prestigious and secretive Blackmoor family-an old Salem bloodline steeped in occult history, whispers of witchcraft, and generational power. From the outside, the Blackmoors are respected, elite; inside, they are a legacy of betrayal, manipulation, and sacrifice. Ryker was groomed for inheritance, but something inside him rebelled early-a heart too soft, too questioning. He ran. Left behind the rituals, the cold halls, the high expectations, and the blood-stained history. He drifted for years, severing ties, burning bridges, never staying long-until he found the quiet coastal town that felt like a breath, not a prison. He didn't expect to stay. He never expected her. The Dragonfly Skye grew up in a run-down house with paper-thin walls and no money to repair them. Her parents were kind but tired souls, working hard and never quite catching up. Her older brother was her light-funny, protective, her anchor. Then they were both gone. Her mother from sickness, her father from drinking while driving, and two years later, her brother vanished without a trace on a stormy night. Since then, she's been searching for meaning, for answers, for any sign that the world still has magic-real or imagined. She believes in ghosts because she needs to. Her grief has made her reckless, but her spirit refuses to dim.
His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?Completa
Love Is An Oath of Violence {JoongDunk}
Joong doesn't believe in love. He believes in loyalty. In violence. In silence. For years, he's built his empire with blood and broken bones - to keep his little brother, Phuwin, untouched by the world that ruined him. There's only one rule in his life: No one touches Phuwin. Not his enemies. Not strangers. Not even his best friend. Pond knows that rule better than anyone. And yet he looks. Just enough to piss Joong off. Just enough to remind him how thin the line between friendship and war can get. And Dunk? He was never meant to be part of this story. The boy behind the counter, smiling like nothing hurts. The man who built a restaurant Joong visits only with strangers. Dunk waits. Watches. Loves him in secret. And Joong- Joong looks right through him. Because Dunk is background noise. And Joong doesn't love. He uses. He leaves. He destroys. But love doesn't need permission. It festers in silence. It grows in the dark corners of late nights and long stares. It bleeds when Joong walks in with someone else and Dunk has to serve them like nothing inside him is breaking. And when violence comes closer- when Pond crosses a line that should never be crossed, when Dunk becomes a weapon instead of a man- Joong will learn what happens when something he never claimed is ripped away. Because this isn't a love story. It's a slow descent. A dangerous want. A promise of ruin. ⸻ A real dark romance - where loyalty is a knife, love is a trap, and one look can cost everything. (‼️Main Focus: JoongDunk‼️)Completa
Renegade
They took her sight, her throne, and her trust. But when the storms rise, so does she. Now Eira must choose. Between running and love, between the crown and the one man she cannot lose. They say the island remembers. Its six points rise like blades from the sea, carved not by time but by will-old will, war-forged and sealed with blood. Once, long ago, there was peace. But peace is a fragile lie, and power has a taste too rich for those born too close to thrones. And so the old king fell. A new line rose, crowned not by right, but by betrayal. And from that line came a bride. Untitled, unwilling, and dangerous without knowing it. Her name was Eira. She was never meant to refuse. She was never meant to survive. Blinded by treachery, betrayed by blood, she was given as bait to lure a boy who would be king. But she was paired with another. Chosen. The island woke. And in the dark, where eyes fail and truth sharpens, Eira rose. Not with sight, but with vision. And the island was watching. And love was by her side. This is the story of the girl who failed every test. Until the one that mattered. And of the man who loved her not for her power, but for her resistance to it. Before Eira, there was only fear. After her, nothing would be the same. Note: This is a work of fiction and should not be read as a reflection of the author's personal life, experiences, or relationships.
