“I'm not going. I do have a choice babe, you see I know that you’re desperate to collect souls for your mission and whatnot, but I’m fighting for my life here.”
Arsinoe was beyond shocked. Refusing a chance for glory in Valhalla was another matter altogether, but now for the love of Odin did he know that she was missing her horn!
"Look, you're beautiful babe, but it's just not going to work. At least not until I get my body back." Hale shrugged, carefully observing the woman before him, looking for signs that she was angry, or impatient or even amused, but she gave nothing away.
"You cannot leave.” Her voice reverberated in command again.
Hot, Hale thought, letting his imaginations run wild. Hmm, that voice in bed..., whispering in his ear, telling him exactly what he wanted to hear. He broke out from his reverie when he felt her grasp—firm and restrained—on his wrist.
"Hey." He tried to pull back without success. Damn, the woman was strong. “I am not dead. If you would let me get back to my body I'll be perfectly fine." He tugged again.
"Now that," she said in an unhurried voice, the sound filling the air around him, entering his ear in a gentle caress, "is something I can't allow. Stop fighting destiny Hale Caradoc.”
*********************
As an Incubus, Hale Caradoc has had centuries to make a name for himself as one to 'make love not war'. But with growing unrest in the underworld, Hale is forced to take a stand and leave the luxury of his extravagant life for the battle of Nark.
Arsinoe Rowan Asger has spent millennia collecting warriors for Valhalla, her sole purpose was to serve as the most devout Valkyrie. But when her new ward tries to run off on her watch, it is more than just a question of duty. This time, pride is on the line and something far greater...

You're Like Heaven to Touch
"You don't really like to open up, do you?" The words startle me, seemingly jagged and impure in contrast to the light and beautiful atmosphere we were in. "I didn't say that." Asher snorted, "You didn't have to." I was quiet for a moment, looking out to the beach and resting my cheek on my knee. "It- It's not that I don't like to," I struggled to find the words good enough to explain. "I just think, maybe, I don't know how to anymore." Asher stares at me for a moment, eyes filled with an emotion that I can't put my finger on. I turn to face him properly, almost gasping when he appears much closer than I remembered. Before I can turn the moment into a joke, he speaks. "Well, if you ever want to learn again, I'll always be right here, Willa. I'm always right here." * Willa Montgomery didn't expect to be uprooted for her last summer before college, but two weeks in, here she is: Santa Monica, California. Willa hasn't had the best life as of recent, and with the impending damage of her parents messy divorce getting harder and harder to avoid, her mom decides the best place for her to be is anywhere but home. Enter Sylvia Edwards, Willa's mother's best friend since middle school, and Willa's godmother. Sylvia is more than glad to host Willa for the entire summer, opening up her beautiful home to her immediately. And with that beautiful home comes the beautiful Asher Edwards, and a whole bunch of memories Willa wasn't even aware she had. Living in a house with Asher, the sweetest yet most persistent guy to exist is both heartwarming and dangerous all at once, because soon enough, the barriers Willa spent years building around her fragile heart are coming down- and fast. Willa had never realized how frozen she was until Asher started to melt her ice. With eyes like oceans, a smile like honey and a touch like heaven. cover by @stylesoftimothee

He's grieving too, but somehow he still believes there's good left in the universe... and maybe in her. When a new branch of HYDRA surfaces - one that knows her name and everything she's tried to bury - Athena's forced to face the past she's been running from. She's not the same broken girl they made her. She's sharper now, stronger. But the thing about shadows is they never die easily - and when HYDRA sets its sights on New Asgard, Athena finds herself caught between the world of gods and the ghosts of her old life. And maybe she'll finally realize she doesn't have to be a weapon to be powerful.

He stayed silent, but out of the corner of my eye, I could see him staring at me. "Right before he died he told me that he loved me. But I couldn't say it back." I added. "Why not?" He questioned. "Because I fell in love with someone else." "Oh? And who might that be?" I pulled my knees up to my chest and placed my head on them. "As cliche and taboo as it seems I fell in love with an angel. He broke through the wall I've been building up for years just by being the only one to listen and understand. Does he feel the same way? Probably not, but it doesn't stop me from loving him." "Maybe he does feel the same way, you just never looked close enough," he replied. It has been 500 years since this war had started. Both angels and demons have lost many soldiers during this time, but Lucifer and God are still determined to win their prize. The Human Realm. Raven is your top demon warrior who does whatever she can to serve her lord. What will happen when an enemy angel comes into her life and turns everything upside down?

Realm of the Rogues
"What are you?" He asks me, breaking the silence. I am quite shocked by this question. Mostly because I don't even know how to answer it. "Werewolf. I think... And you are a vampire," I state. He nods. "You don't smell like a werewolf." He lifts his hand to my neck, moving my hair aside, and looks at the bite mark on my shoulder. "And you don't taste like one." I breathe superficially, scared of what he might do next. "I would be lying if I said I didn't want to taste you again." He says, leaving his mouth slightly open. I just stare at him with wide scared eyes. He looks up from my wound and wink at me, causing him to smile a bit and show a fang. I blink a couple of times and swallow, trying to water my throat. He sees me struggling. "Need some extra saliva?" He almost laughs at me...

W O L F S P I D E R | Clint Barton
Idea for series of the Avengers from @AaliyahCohen-Stark and @mikammadi. These stories will be the OG 6 Avengers from the movies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inessa Katya Alekseyeva's life has been defined by control. Taken into the Red Room as a child, she was shaped into the perfect weapon-deadly, disciplined, unbreakable. When Hydra experiments awakened powers within her, she became even more dangerous, a shadow moving between two worlds. But when SHIELD offered her a chance at redemption, Inessa seized it, finding purpose beyond the blood on her hands. Partnered with Clint Barton, and reunited with her childhood sister, Natasha Romanoff, she steps into a new role: one of the founding Avengers. Through battles that test the limits of her strength and loyalty, Inessa discovers something she never expected-feelings for Clint. Yet it isn't until the devastation of New York, when she believes she's lost him, that the truth of her heart finally strikes. Spanning from the shadows of her Red Room past to the world-altering events of Endgame, Inessa's journey is one of power, sacrifice, and love she never thought she deserved.![THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395219197-256-k400203.jpg)
THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?
