Long before Jude was called Lord Pride, his family inherited an old lesson from the Prairie: the Horse runs from the burden, while the Ox carries it. Across three generations, a Farmer loses his Pride, a Shepherd sends his Pride, and finally a young Cowboy journeys east to find his own. That Cowboy enters an Empire built by conquest, slavery, rank, and the terrible will of men like Oswic the Great. There Jude becomes something the East does not quite know how to name-merchant, lord, liberator, conqueror, servant, beast-and begins gathering the unwanted people of the Land beneath his protection. Yet every victory raises the same question: whether a man can wield enormous power without becoming the kind of man who believes everything beneath that power belongs to him. Then he meets Gloria. A princess whose very name has become synonymous with the dignity of women who refuse to be possessed, Glory challenges Jude wherever his authority becomes too certain. He challenges the privilege that allows her own hands to remain clean. Together they cross a broken Land, confronting slavery, corruption, cowardice, marriage, loyalty, class, and the difference between protecting another person and claiming them. Their relationship becomes a demonstration before either of them fully understands what they are demonstrating: Pride learning to honor Glory without possessing her, and Glory learning to trust Pride without surrendering herself. Because this is not merely the story of Pride meeting Glory. It is the story of what happens when Pride earns Glory- and what happens when Glory becomes his Pride.

• • • · • -- ٠ ✤ ٠ -- • · Two omegas were never supposed to be enough for each other. At least,, that was what Por had been taught. Alphas protect ,, Omegas are protected. Mates are supposed to fit together in ways biology has already decided,, and somewhere between heats, scent blockers, suppressants and the expectations that come with being an omega,, Por learned to believe that love could still be incomplete. TeeTee? has never believed in any of that. To him, Por is simply Por ,, the person who steals his hoodies for his nest, curls into his side after bad days,, knows his scent better than anyone else and asks for sniff kisses like they are the most ordinary thing in the world. They have always been close. Well,, Too close, perhaps. But when familiar scents begin to mean more, when old fears turn into quiet longing and the line between comfort,, instinct and love starts to blur, both of them are forced to question everything they thought they knew about mates, biology and what it truly means to belong to someone. Because maybe home was never supposed to smell like an alpha ,, Maybe home had been beside them all along? · • -- ٠ ✤ ٠ -- • · • • •

I'm not entirely sure what this story will be about but it'll be a comfort story for people like me who are victims of sexual and physical abuse. it'll involve Angel Dust in the setting of Hazbin Hotel and seeking companionship with another trauma carrying soul. Warning, will contain themes of dealing with sexual and physical abuse, swearing, depression, possibly NSFW content (will update when finished or have decided) obviously in-taste as well not just random moments it'll be a natural approach, and other mature themes. I will work on it when I can and when I have the desire to do so. Apologies to anyone, if anyone, who is looking forward to this or who just wants more. I don't want to rush it as it's a serious topic. There will be jokes but not at the expense of the topic as it's something that should never be joked about. With work and my own mental health problems it'll get in the way of my work (this story) but I hope in time I'll have a finely crafted piece that will make people feel less alone with their trauma. Even if it just helps one person, that would be a victory in my opinion. Thank you all

Taehyung was supposed to be gathering firewood. Instead, he woke up in another century. One storm. One cave. One wrong step. And the world he knew was gone. The forest was unfamiliar. The villages looked ancient. Even the air felt wrong, like it didn't belong to him anymore. Then he met him. A sharp-tongued stranger with impossible eyes and a habit of disappearing whenever questions got too close. Jungkook was frustrating, secretive, and entirely too hard to ignore. And the longer Taehyung stayed, the harder it became to remember why he needed to leave. Because old kingdoms are built on secrets. And some names were never meant to be forgotten. Strange things begin to surface-records, whispers, pieces of a past no one should still remember. And Taehyung finds himself caught between two worlds: The one he came from. And the one that is starting to feel dangerously like home. But some stories are not meant to continue. And some people were never meant to meet at all. Yet every time Taehyung looks at Jungkook- leaving feels a little less possible.

It's supposed to be a normal year. Mid-10th grade. Same classrooms. Same friend group. Same unspoken rules. But when cracks start forming inside the friend group, everything unravels faster than anyone expected. Old arguments resurface. Sides are taken. Secrets slip out at the worst possible moments. Told through multiple perspectives, this story dives into the messy, complicated reality of teenage relationships: the jealousy you pretend you don't feel, the texts you rewrite ten times, the almost-confessions that live in your throat, and the fear that one wrong choice could cost you the people you love most. As 11th and 12th grade approache, the tension builds toward the one thing no one can avoid forever: the truth. And once it's said out loud, there's no going back.

Natsuki Subaru, still living in Japan, suddenly finds his mind flooded without warning by strange memories of himself in another world - the Royal Capital First Encounter Arc, the Mansion Arc, the Royal Selection Arc, the Sanctuary Arc, the Watergate City Arc... At the same time, characters from IF timelines he never knew existed have also been reborn: [IF Wrath] Emilia, who fell in love with the man who imprisoned her - after confessing to the "King of Purge" Subaru and being rejected, she convinced herself she had been abandoned, and shattered completely. [IF Pride] Reinhard, who had every person he swore to protect destroyed by the "Sin Archbishop" Subaru - and for the first time in his life, learned what it means to truly hate.

I wuv you!" At the story's end, Subaru declares with unshakeable confidence: "You may call me - the [Great Sage] Flügel."
