    A romantic story with a Shakespearean twist. Prince Hendrick of Ancient Silesia falls in love with Princess Odessa of the Fae Forest close to his palace. But when the king and queen gently disapprove of their love and affections for each other, they then elope in tragedy, their spirits turning into flower fairies, fluttering in the air. (WARNING: This story ties in with "My Happy Flower Fairy", and some parts of "My Beautiful Melody".)

    Just a bunch of fictional diary entries I came up with because i was bored lol ! Very Victorian-style prose and vocabulary A/N: This piece is stylistically inspired by older literary English rather than written as a strict historical or linguistic recreation of any one period. It's a creative exercise focused on voice and mood, not accuracy. Cover: Pinterest

    Two people fall in love, someone dies, and a child survives who will one day shape English literature. *** In Tudor London, a forbidden love ends in tragedy, but it also brings into the world John Florio, future author of Queen Anna's World of Words and one of the greatest translators of the Renaissance. His father, Michel' Angelo, moves among the most powerful noblemen and women of the era. Yet as passion turns perilous and secrets take root, the black hellebore blooms as a warning that love can be as dangerous as poison. **Edits ongoing as part of the "It's Raining, Let's Kiss" short story anthology.

Their love story was short-lived but beautiful, tugging at the hearts of billions. It's no surprise that in this day and age, these stories aren't uncommon. After all, there is so much enmity in the world. Jake Sim grew up loathing the Hongs his entire life. According to his parents, they were nothing but cheating scumbags, but was that really true? The feud had been going on for decades, and nobody even knew what it was about anymore. When he starts talking to Alexis, he falls in love, but there was one problem: she was a Hong. Falling for her was the best decision he had ever made, but at what cost? They'd never be allowed to be together. However, no matter what happens, there will always be a Juliet without her Romeo.

    "There you go again. Letting your head get the better of you." Becca's eyes shot to his. "You can't hold back like that, not if you want it to feel real." Her cheeks felt like they were on fire. Yes, she'd stopped. She knew. But he spoke like it was so simple, like she was just some amateur afraid of the stage. He had no clue what this felt like, that it wasn't the scene that made her chest tight. It was looking at him. She put a full foot of distance between them. "I know how to act, Boris!" He stood there, unmoved. "Then show me." Her nails dug into her palms. No. She wasn't going to let him break her. She pulled her shoulders back, took a breath, and planted her feet. "Fine," she bit out. "This time...I'll finish it." β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’β­’ When Becca Morgan walked through the doors of her old high school, she never expected to get pulled back into the world of theater. She also didn't expect Boris an intense and incredibly talented 18-year-old senior who gets under her skin. A single rehearsal is all it takes for things to get complicated, blurring the lines between the roles they're playing and the people they're becoming. 🎭 𝕀𝕀 π•šπ•₯ π•™π•šπ•ž 𝕀'π•ž π••π•£π•’π•¨π•Ÿ π•₯𝕠...𝕠𝕣 π•₯𝕙𝕖 π•˜π•šπ•£π• 𝕀 𝕦𝕀𝕖𝕕 π•₯𝕠 𝕓𝕖, π•žπ•šπ•£π•£π• π•£π•–π•• π•šπ•Ÿ π•™π•šπ•ž?

    Meet 17-year-old cynical billionaire heir, Angelo. Haunted by the shadows of his past, Angelo thought he had a general idea what to expect from life - brief bouts of entertainment and nothing more. That is, until fate paired him up with the fiery 'bitch', Aimee, and scorches him with a community far more dangerous than he realizes. A few months later, the world he had grown accustomed to burned up. Whether he liked it or not, sparks were bound to fly... ...and not necessarily the romantic ones. cover by Sinfully_sweet_ No Way Home

    A fantastical short story about a hierarchical system of birds known as the "Corvids". Our tale picks up at a time of power changing feathers and the process of their coronation. Hand drawn and colourised it is a work meant to be enjoyed as pictographic just as much as those old fairytale stories were created. A tale written in poetic rythmic syntax, attempting to be akin to the tomes of "Beowolf". It is the first in the line of animorphic tales that I plan on creating that I will bear a high degree of focus on the illustration side.

    "Love is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken." - Shakespeare, Sonnet 116 Jade Ward stopped believing in love three years ago. Now she's a Psychology major with a simple philosophy: expect nothing, observe everything, never be surprised. Liam Callen is the exception she didn't plan for. He's an English Literature major who actually believes in soulmates, in the whole concept being part pf the 1% is possible. She thinks soulmates are a statistical impossibility dressed up in pretty language. When they're forced to partner on a semester-long project dissecting romantic tropes, Jade assumes it'll be easy, she'll provide the data, he'll provide the poetry, and they'll never speak again. But their professor wants more than a paper. He wants them to watch real couples, real moments, real evidence. And somewhere between dining hall observations and texts about love at first sight, the line between research and something else starts to blur. By the end of the semester, they have to answer one question: do the stories we tell about love reflect reality, or distort it? They just didn't expect to become part of the stories told.
