    Summary

    "Spring turned over into summer, and then summer into fall. By winter, the Freedom Fighters had grown by seventy-six members in a span of 8 months. This included the seven who were lost to battles, but in the mercenary world, that was an astonishingly wonderful number. So wonderful in fact, that it began to turn some heads. According to a letter sent via courier from up high, in much more ostentatious and prolix wording than this, it was a marvel, in fact, that a group of lowly commoners and peasants were outdoing some of the Earth Kingdom’s best royal armies."

    Summary

    The highway burns. The city breathes neon and smoke.

    You were supposed to move the ware, get paid, and disappear. Instead, a Maelstrom ambush and a chrome-armed stranger drag you into a job that burns hotter than anything you signed up for.

    In Night City, survival is a simple math: scars pay the price, and trust writes your death warrant.

    Summary

    Something different! A police procedural/mystery set in Northumberland, England. This isn't based on any pre-existing IP but is vaguely inspired by the British Crime show, Vera. I've always wanted to write my own cop or crime story, hope you all like this one.

    When a double shooting by Northumberland Police in an isolated warehouse on a Winter Night creates more questions than it answers, Detective Inspector Lena Vaughan and her partner DS Marcus Reid are determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means tearing their own department apart.

    Summary

    Obsession is a psychological horror story that explores the fine line between devotion and madness. When Pino, a once-loyal puppet, uncovers his father’s hidden research on resurrection, he becomes fixated on bringing back his lost brother, Carlo. What begins as grief-driven determination soon spirals into something darker—an all-consuming obsession that distorts reality and fractures his relationships.

    When did things get so out of hand? Was it his father’s obsession? Or is it his own?

    As Pino grows more erratic, those who once called him a friend struggle with their own fears, caught between distrust and guilt. Meanwhile, the bystander effect takes hold, as those around him hesitate—too afraid, too uncertain, or too complicit to intervene. But as paranoia sets in and the walls close around them, one thing becomes clear: no one is safe from the consequences of unchecked obsessions.

    Summary

    💌 Up the flight of stairs mottled in fairy dust and glitter, on the nights I'm unable to sleep, I see it in the dark: two milky blue eyeballs, watching me.

    Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some have blood-battered teeth. Others, eyes dulled by malevolence. Some look like Sylveon.

    Sometimes monsters keep you locked up in the basement for their own selfish desires.

    Summary

    “Caitlyn!”

    Caitlyn froze halfway across the porch. She whirled around, eyes frantically scanning the darkness at the sudden, desperate shout.

    The Ford pickup had made it about a quarter of a mile down the winding dirt road, still idling with its red taillights lit up. The driver’s side door had been flung wide open.

    Vi was running back to Caitlyn in a dead sprint.

    Caitlyn’s blood began pounding in her ears once her heart kickstarted back to life. She raced off the porch, charging over the loose gravel of the driveway, dirt kicking up around her heels when she hit the main road.

    The cheerleader kept going, legs churning, lungs burning, heart nearly ready to burst. She barely had time to brace herself for impact, mouth open as she panted from the exertion.

    Vi collided with her. The force of it knocked the remaining air out of Caitlyn.

     

    OR

    Grease meets Arcane. Vi is the leader of her loyal high school gang, The Slicks. Jinx and her pals are the Blue Crew. Caitlyn is the new girl in town, just trying to find her place.

    Summary

    Ten years ago, the Reapers were vanquished, the galaxy saved. Statues were raised. Obituaries written. Shepard, having died in the last moments of the war, became a hero, a legend, enshrined in memory.

    Only Shepard wasn’t dead. He was hidden. Locked away for all that time.

    And now, Shepard has returned, having been freed from his frozen prison.

    His pursuit for answers will lead him across a changed galaxy. He knows this wasn’t an accident. Someone had a reason to put him under for those ten years, and they had the power to make the galaxy believe he was never coming back. He will stop at nothing to find the truth and take down those that wronged him and destroy the lies they’ve built. Only then will his vengeance be complete. The galaxy will soon learn how dangerous a dead man can be.

    And when the last name is crossed off, he will look to the stars again. Toward the one face that’s haunted his every waking thought and pulled him forward all this time.

    A voice. A memory. His lost love.

    Tali'Zorah.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.

    So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.

    But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets—for a moment—that machines aren’t supposed to feel.

    He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.

    Now he’s tangled in something bigger. Secrets, loyalties, and everything Dean thought he understood about free will and humanity.

    He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
