Summary
A collection of scattered verses — about love, loss, longing, and all the quiet things that keep me awake at night. Each poem is a fragment, a heartbeat, a whisper I did not want to lose. Some are raw, some are soft, some may not make sense except to me, but together they are pieces of my heart, gathered here in one place.

Summary
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera.
Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty.
Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn’t ask for this, nor the trouble that followed.
There’s no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking.

And you’ll clasp those fingers around, tight.
Hold your glaze over my pitiful demise
As I squirm under the sole of your shoe
Like the insect I amUndeserving.

Summary
When her thirteen-year-old son announces he wants to learn how to play chess, successful graphic designer Agatha Harkness expects little more than after-school lessons and a new hobby to keep him busy. What she doesn’t expect is to cross paths with Rio Vidal, self-taught prodigy and future grandmaster, whose brilliance is matched only by her arrogance.
Drawn into Rio’s orbit, stubborn and haughty Agatha finds herself clashing with the other woman’s sharp wit and unshakable confidence. But as their worlds intertwine, spurred by the quiet intensity of the game, the lines between opposition and attraction begin to blur, both of them waiting for the inevitable checkmate.Or: the Chess AU nobody asked for but I wanted to write anyway.

Summary
Bruce found Jason the way you find a stray dog on the street—reluctant, knowing it’s probably a bad idea, but unable to walk away. Maybe it was pity. Maybe it was guilt.
Either way, he took him in.
But Jason, like any mutt, wasn’t a very good dog. He couldn’t sit still.
Couldn’t help but disobey. Couldn’t stop biting.

Summary
Regulus Black miał piętnaście lat, gdy po raz pierwszy jego imię zostało wyczytane podczas dożynek. Ma dwadzieścia pięć, gdy dzieje się to ponownie. Przez ten czas wiele się zmieniło, a jedną z tych zmian jest to, że teraz jest gotów zrobić wszystko, by wrócić do domu. Nic ani nikt go nie powstrzyma, nawet James Potter.
James Potter nie zamierza powstrzymywać Regulusa Blacka przed powrotem do domu. W rzeczywistości jego plany zakładają coś zupełnie przeciwnego. Ma swoje powody, ale podjął już decyzję, że pomoże Regulusowi wydostać się z areny, nawet wiedząc, że będzie to ostatnia rzecz, jaką kiedykolwiek zrobi.
Syriusz Black miał szesnaście lat, gdy zgłosił się na ochotnika, by zająć miejsce swojego młodszego brata na arenie. Mając dwadzieścia sześć lat, bez możliwości ponownego poświęcenia się, nie ma innego wyboru, jak tylko zostać mentorem dla swojego brata i najlepszego przyjaciela, wiedząc, że tylko jedno z nich może stamtąd wrócić.
Dwa wyczytane imiona, mentor na skraju załamania oraz więcej sekretów i żalu między nimi wszystkimi, niż potrafią udźwignąć. Żadne z nich nie jest przygotowane na to, co nastąpi, ani na to, jak daleko się posuną, by przez to przejść.

Summary
Netzknochen returns!
One year has passed since Ojo's defeat at the hands of a leather-clad, spider-themed hero, and her name has only gotten bigger around Lübeck.
Working her way through college with the help of her parents and the undying support of her best friend, Mandy, Ilse Schüler must find the correct balance between being a hero and being a person. She's not very good at it, until along comes a slithering second-skin of alien flesh, which binds itself to her in the night and makes her the best version of herself she could be. Gone are her brittle bones, gone is her filter; she is herself, loud and proud, except better.
Where is too far, though? When does pride become arrogance, and where does arrogance become megalomania?
Can Ilse get a hold of herself before she does something she'll regret? What happens when she tells her alien symbiote no? What do the people of her city, who respect her so, think of her after she goes on a tear of brutal violence in the night?
What does she do if she feels like she's wasted her second chance at life? What if she doesn't want it anymore? Can she leave the mask behind, and just die quietly, or is something always going to pull her back?Series

Summary
If one looked at the different stories of how the Black City became Golden again, they all contained different elements of the truth, for a given level of mythological belief. But no one would know better than the two people who were closest to the source as they dreamed in the fractured, shattered reflections of red lyrium.
“So we’re in deeper waters now, as it were, being physically present in the Fade?” she asked.
He nodded.
“Well,” she said, thoughtfully, “I think I understand why you were so worried now, about me dreaming. My clan would fish in the Free Marches sometimes, in little coracles on the Waking Sea. Sometimes a squall would come up before everyone could get back to shore. More than once someone was drowned because they tried to save someone else and got pulled down too.”
“Yes,” he affirmed. “Much like that. And the mad dreams of the Titans are much greater than a squall.”

Summary
After yet another meeting at the Golden Tower, where Jin Guangshan seems unable to breathe just by mentioning Wei Wuxian and repeats like a broken record that he wants both him and the Yin Tiger Seal, the situation explodes. Not content with that, he also demands that the few surviving Wen be handed over to the Jin “for judgment.”
Jiang Cheng has already tried to talk to Wei Wuxian. He came back more frustrated than ever, with zero results and a massive headache. So, for “one last diplomatic attempt,” Jin Guangshan decides to send Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue. Obviously not because he trusts them, or because he believes in peace at all: he just hopes that Wei Wuxian will make a mistake, even a tiny bit, so as to have the perfect pretext for an attack.
Lan Xichen leaves full of optimism, Nie Mingjue with a headache. At the Funeral Mountains they find no armies or living corpses, but elder Wen men tending the fields. The only thing they don't find... is Wei Wuxian. Instead, they discover that he is in Yiling every day, at the inn he opened with the few surviving Wen. And perhaps, between steaming soup and unexpected smiles, something could warm them much more than their stomachs.

Summary
The Hidden Moon pack was never meant to exist, bound by choice instead of blood.
In a world that divides by scent and species, their unity is an anomaly, something the empire cannot name, control, or destroy.At its heart stands Bang Chan, a vampire who believes peace can be rebuilt from ruin, and Hyunjin, the wolf soldier once trained to hunt him.
Between ruin and rebirth, a unique pack rises, love becomes rebellion, and together they fight for a world that no longer fears the dark.
Note: Be kind, it has been so long since I returned to writing. Thanks to Stray Kids who inspired me to write again.
This work has been inspired originally by Railway and Escape, but something wrong happened along the line and now, here we are. Don't ask me, I don't know either. -

Summary
Dennis had always been a crybaby. He was upset at the term at first, but it made sense when Momma and David called him that. He had always been David’s duckling, following him around the farm like David had made him himself, the surprise baby of the family.
But he was twenty-six, would be a full doctor soon, and he was still a crybaby. It was okay. It was also embarrassing, and his coworkers didn’t make fun of him for having a stupid pain response, but he was a crybaby. Okay, Trinity made fun of it, but she was basically his sister. She was supposed to make fun of it. Because that’s what siblings who didn’t think they were your daddy did. He made fun of her for pretending she hated them all, but then snuggled him on movie nights, and she made fun of him for crying when he got hurt.
Thing is though, as Dennis grew up, he learned that some people particularly… liked… when he was easy to make cry. He’s come to adore that just a little. He’s more of a slut than Trinity, and he liked when they could make him cry without too much pain, make fun of him for it… there was a lot he liked about being a crybaby, because it’s not really a bad thing.
