Tioria, the most crime-ridden city on the planet Krygilis, has always been full of trouble for Wynette Brown to get into. Between late-night adventures at lesbian bars and her job as a Protectorate Escort Specialist, she knows the planet, its people and its sources of mischief too well.

But her latest assignment gets her in way over her head, even with her rookie colleague Laris, mechanical genius Plutonia, and flirty detective Kirin at her side. Spontaneous cases of amnesia have flooded the city, and when the clues aren't adding up, the team has to throw the rulebook out the window. Trusting a Tiorian cop like Kirin is the start of a wild ride in itself, but tracking down the cause of the missing memories will force Wynette to go far above and beyond what she ever dreamed of signing up for.

Until you Break Love by Persephonexoxoxo

Lily Winters never expected her quiet life to turn into a nightmare. As a librarian who spends her days lost in books and her nights caring for stray animals, she thought the most thrilling part of her life was the dark romance novels she secretly indulged in. That changes when she befriends the wealthy and elegant Isabelle Lancaster-completely unaware that this connection will put her in the sights of someone far more dangerous. Eden Lancaster has everything-power, money, and an unshakable will. But when she lays eyes on Lily for the first time, something snaps inside her. Lily is perfect, soft, and innocent-the ideal possession. From that moment on, Eden's life revolves around one goal: making Lily hers, no matter the cost. As Lily starts noticing strange occurrences-her usual café suddenly shutting down, her coworker mysteriously quitting, and an eerie feeling of being watched-she begins to suspect someone is controlling her life from the shadows. But the truth is far worse than she could have imagined. Eden is not just watching her. She is eliminating every obstacle in their way. And when Lily finally realizes how deep the obsession runs, it's already too late. She is trapped in a web of manipulation, desire, and dark secrets she cannot escape. Because Eden doesn't just want her. She owns her. And she will do whatever it takes to break her. ---

The Price For Vengeance (Arcane WLW) by SimpSister

Updates on Saturday's & Sunday's **This story includes** -WlW -Enemies to lovers -Slow Burn -Smut -Violence -Language **Story Summary: "The Price for Vengeance"** In the underbelly of Zaun, Ivy Kingsley has spent most of her life surviving the brutal realities of the city's ruthless streets. Orphaned as a child when an accident claimed her family, Ivy has lived with only one burning purpose: revenge. She's determined to bring down the powerful families and figures who destroyed her life, but her single-minded quest for vengeance comes at a cost. When a crime she didn't commit lands her in prison, her life takes an unexpected turn when Caitlyn Kiramman, the brilliant and idealistic enforcer from Piltover, arrives in Zaun. Caitlyn, driven by a personal mission to take down Jinx and Zauns violent gangs, recognizes something in Ivy-a fierce independence, an intelligence that could be useful, and a potential ally in the fight for justice. She's struck a deal: if Ivy helps her infiltrate Zaun's criminal underworld and gather crucial information, Caitlyn will use her position to free Ivy from prison and clear her name. The lines between right and wrong blur as Ivy faces a choice: take down her enemies from the inside, or tear apart the fragile alliance that might offer her a chance at freedom. As Ivy navigates this world, she finds herself walking a thin line between revenge and redemption, questioning her beliefs and her thirst for vengeance as she grows closer to Caitlyn, who represents everything Ivy once believed was her enemy. Together, they uncover dangerous secrets that could change both cities forever, but Ivy knows-betrayal could be lurking just around the corner. The question remains: can Ivy achieve her revenge without losing herself in the process? Or will the price of vengeance prove too high?

Lana has no idea how she tolerated the woman, but she's certain it was for a good reason. For instance, gaining access to the most exclusive events in the city. Thanks to each extravagant gala and lavish feast, Lana dissolves not only the facade of the wealthy, but that of Virre as well. Except she's not the only one fishing for secrets. With their enemies closing in and the world's magic running dry, the women must work together to reveal the truth before they, and all the water, burn for good. 🜄 INCLUDES ✓ Sapphic bodyguard-heiress romance ✓ Magical fight scenes ✓ Environmentalism and sociopolitical commentary ✓ Secret spy stuff ONC 2025 ENTRY Prompts: 5 (main), 13, 27, 31, 102, 124, 125, 130 Word Count: +39k Genres: High Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Romance ★ This story is only available on Wattpad by @laurendoubleu.

The Monster's Stratagem (Lesbian Story) by HeatherDarte

Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself...

The Crimson Oath by tani1602_

FBI Special Agent Taylor Alison Swift has spent the last seventeen years chasing shadows and unraveling the minds of criminals, but nothing has ever gotten under her skin like the "Black Devil" -a ruthless serial killer who has haunted the city for years, slipping through the cracks of every investigation. Taunting. Untraceable. Unstoppable. For the longest time, the "Black Devil" has been nothing more than a ghost - until now. A chilling shift in the game begins when the killer starts leaving personal messages at crime scenes. At first, they're cryptic taunts meant for the FBI. But soon, they take a darker turn - messages left just for Taylor. And just like that the hunter becomes the hunted. As the body count rises, so does Taylor's obsession. Every clue, every note, every murder feels like a twisted puzzle leading her not just to the killer - but straight into their trap. And as the chase intensifies, Taylor begins to wonder: is she tracking a monster... or is the monster tracking her? One thing is certain- the "Black Devil" won't stop until they have her full attention. And they do. The question is: Will Taylor catch the killer, or will she be their next masterpiece?

Apocalypse NEW VERSION by SpartanCatlord

Growing up in their sister's shadow wasn't easy; surviving after she left has been harder. In the nine years since their Kingdom was destroyed by the cruel Falcondar family, Kiridan has had two objectives: to stay hidden from the Falcondars, and to figure out why their sister never came back for them. They discover that she started an underground organization to overthrow the Falcondars...and then died three years ago while on a mission in the mountains. Determined to make something of their sister's efforts - and to be recognized as more than the less-talented sibling - Kiridan decides to break into the organization known as the Infernal Uprising, taking their rightful place among its leadership. But as the attack on the Falcondars draws nearer, they'll have to learn that leadership is more than barking orders, and that trust is difficult to earn. When the chaos spirals further than anyone expected, and new powers come into play from every direction, a lot of people may have to reevaluate what they stand for...whether they're an Infernal Uprising soldier, a traitor, or a Falcondar Princess herself. Sure, through the eyes of those in power, the world has always been in conflict. But for the next generation waiting to take over, the conflict is just beginning. And for the rest of the unsuspecting universe, it hasn't even begun. Which came first, the catastrophe or the change? And what's the difference in the first place? ******* ONGOING.
