After 14 hours of sleep and a war with my own nervous system, I still don’t feel 100% - but at least I’ve got enough energy (and spite) to finally share my submission for the Gothic Erotica challenge 
          	
          	The Serpent Throne: 
          	Featuring Mikki (my unhinged MC), Sebastian, Ominis, my OC Kain and a throne that doesn’t ask permission - The Serpent Throne is about legacy, worship, and what happens when desire becomes prophecy.
          	
          	Originally this story had a darker tone -
          	but somewhere along the way, I realized Gothic doesn’t have to mean grim. It doesn’t have to be about ruin. It can be about becoming. About choosing fate. About being touched like something sacred.
          	
          	That said - this one definitely leans more into 
          	smut than my usual Storys.
          	You’ve been warned. (Or maybe enticed.)
          	
          	Read with your instincts - and decide for yourself what’s sacred and what’s sinful.
          	
          	Also: If you haven’t yet, please check out @JJCrno’s haunting take on the theme - I will let her story crawl under my skin now too. ♥️
          	
          	Thank you for being here.
          	Close your doors, light a candle, and leave your shame at the threshold.

          Hey — just a heads-up that I won’t be able to post the one-shot commission today like I planned
          Today really ate me alive and I’m not feeling 100%. 
          I’ll upload it first thing tomorrow (around noon my time). Right before reading  @JJCRNO's story for it, which you should check out too!
          
          Thanks for understanding

Something wickedly beautiful is coming...
          A writing challenge... 
          with shadows, desire, and power.
          
          Me and the ridiculouly talented @JJCrno are starting a mini writing-challange as a one-shot scenario outside of our main-storys.
          
          The idea is simple:
          We all write a short scenario or scene using the same theme, but from the perspective of our own characters.
          
          Theme: Gothic romance.
          Think candlelight, forbidden longing, or aching devotion
          
          Release date: Friday, june 6th.
          
          Interpret the story to write however you wish or join us when we post them to read to your heart's content.
          
          You can @ us, if you want to to participate or chat more. 
          
          Lets see how deep the dark goes.

A little balm before the storm.
          New one-shot is live!
          
          Domestic magic.
          
          Just the two of them.
          A quiet evening. Warm light. Soft laughter.
          No spells. No shadows. Just love — the kind that settles into corners and folds laundry with a wand.
          
          If my last one broke you — this is my olive branch.
          Snuggle in, take a breath, and enjoy them simply being okay.
          
          Read this one wrapped in a blanket. You deserve it.
          
          Before the next heartbreak (or chaos) arrives,
          enjoy the peace while it lasts. ♡

My darkest one-shot so far is now live.
          
          I don’t even know what to say, except this:
          It’s not violent. Not dramatic. But it hurts.
          
          It’s about love that wanted to save.
          About a boy who meant well.
          And what happens when “just one more time” becomes too many.
          
          Sebastian casts the spell.
          Again.
          And again.
          Until there’s nothing left of her…
          and barely anything left of him.
          
          This one left something hollow in me.
          Read when you’re ready.
          And leave a comment if it stayed with you. ♡

A very special chapter is online now - read my new one-shot, requested by my dear collegue.
          
          Dive into a Seb x Ominis Story about surpressed feelings that boil over after years of silent yearning. ♡
          
          Author’s Note:
          This piece was inspired by “Trip” by Jhené Aiko—a song that aches with longing, emotional spirals, and the kind of intimacy that feels like escape and confession all at once. I tried to capture that feeling here: the slow descent, the addictive connection, the confusion between want and regret. It’s not a love story—it’s a trip.
          One you don’t come back from the same.

It’s here. 
          
          The first one-shot in my Hogwarts Legacy collection is now live.
          
          “You Already Ruined Me”
          Sebastian x MC |  + ❤️
          Slow burn. First kiss. First time. One quiet corridor, one moment too much—and everything changes.
          
          It’s soft. It’s tense. It’s long overdue.
          And it might ruin you a little, too.
          
          If it made your chest ache or your breath catch, I’d love to know. Your reactions are what keep me writing.

❗️Update Announcement❗️
          
          Hi everyone, just a little heads-up: 
          I’ll be uploading Chapter 49 shortly, but after that, the main story will be taking a short break.
          
          There’s a lot going on behind the scenes and in my private life right now, and I want to give Chapter 50 the time and attention it deserves — it’s a special turning point in the story, and I want it to feel right when it finally arrives.
          
          In the meantime, I won’t leave you hanging completely! I’ve written quite a few one-shots set in this world  — and I’ll be uploading them regularly (maybe even a few at once) as a little thank you for your patience and .
          
          Please note ✍️:
          
          Most of these one-shots were written before I started Born Under a Shadowless Moon, so the main character isn’t always named Michellé Beaumont. Instead, you’ll often see her referred to as MC — which could easily be short for Michellé + a second name, if you want to.
          
          While these stories share the same magical world, most of them are not directly related to the main plot. If a one-shot is canon or connected to the story, I’ll make sure to mention it.
          
          Your reactions, votes, or messages have meant so much, and I’m really grateful to have you here with me. The story isn’t over — it’s just taking a deep breath before the next storm.
          
          Thank you for staying.
