Summary
Colin had thought once that sirens were made of lies, deception poured into supple flesh to tempt sailors to their deaths. But Penelope is not like that, is she? Perhaps she is.
But then he sees her fingers crawling over the lip of the rocks and he forgets all else.
She moves like the ocean. Her body undulates, swirls, never still. It had been maddening, sickening to watch the first time he saw her, but now he knows how the swirl feels when it is pressed against him and it only excites him to watch her, his heart racing and his skin warming even in the cold water.

Summary
Nicholas used to say he never wanted pups. And he meant it. Because how could someone like him, raised by sorrow and abandonment, ever be a parent? What if he left behind a grieving mate and a child who would never know him?
This fear has always been with him tucked behind his ribs, heavy in his chest. But fear has never meant weakness. It means he understands what love could cost. Still, he moves forward. He breathes through the ache and chooses to try anyway. Because things are different now.
He has Euijoo - his mate, his home - and has a pack who loves him, and who would love any pup that came into their lives.

Re: Tags
Apologies if the tags seem excessive; this is a very long work that covers a lot of ground. I promise there are no (knowingly made) tag falsifications. Future works in the series are planned to be much smaller to avoid this problem. New and old readers are also encouraged to get in touch with me if they have any questions or concerns about any tags/tropes/content.

Summary
Greg gave him a look. “Don’t ‘what’ me, you prick,” he huffed. “Your stupid jumper.”
Alex grinned and smoothed a hand down the front of his blood red jumper, which featured a cartoon tooth sat at a drum kit with the word FANGBANGER emblazoned underneath. “I quite like this one.”
Greg looked torn between amusement and disapproval, and settled for shaking his head. “Yeah, I imagine you do, what with your complete lack of self-preservation instinct,” he grumbled, the hint of a smile twitching at the corners of his mouth.
“If I had any self-preservation instinct, I probably wouldn’t be here,” Alex pointed out, still grinning.

Summary
Humans were quite existential.
Wan was often humbled by how mortal he was despite the power he carried as the Avatar. But it wasn't his life he was concerned about, it was the life of the spirit that lived within him he cared for.
The thought lingered a lot. What would happen when he died and they were split apart? Would Raava be alright? Would she... miss him?
He knew he'd miss her more than anything. If only he had the courage to tell her the depth of his feelings.

Summary
Miguel Ángel looked at him like he was stupid, one hand perched smartly on his hip, eyes glinting in the lamplight, he was a man who knew everything there was to know; and the rest of them were all just idiots.
Amado gaped at him for a few seconds. He’d been fucked up before, no doubt about it, but man. Not like this.
“You’re not dead,” Amado said, stupidly.
Miguel laughed a bit. “What, like you can only hallucinate dead people? That isn’t how it works.”
****
With the deadline of one month to get the Juárez Cartel back under control fast approaching, Amado gets a bit more than he bargained for in pursuit of temporarily enhancing his performance. The side effects of his decision fling him headfirst off the deep end, forcing him to confront his failing career and rapidly declining personal life. In the valley between life and death, Amado must decide whether or not he can live like this, or if he even wants to.

Summary
Part of this was written directly after reading Lassiter (2023). The majority was written and edited after reading The Beloved (2024). I was left confused about the dynamics in the future. All I want is an explanation for the strange behaviors of Beth, LW, the King, and the Brothers. Why is son and mother so estranged? Why did the King seem to mostly ignore his only son and accept this broken situation so easily? Why are the Brothers, life-long friends and family members themselves, so willing to accept such fractured family dynamics without advice or intervention? Why did we not see any strong emotional reactions to the return of The Blind King?
This is my response as I try to provide character-accurate possibilities and explanations. I wanted this posted before the release of Lover Forbidden (2025). [Post LF release: The only character accuracy I managed was with LW. Oops.]
Also, I just adore the idea of Rhampage and wanted an excuse to write about him before we are firmly introduced to his adult-self.
