    Summary

    He was raised to kill a king. Trained in silence. Forged in shadows. His mission was clear, until the man he was meant to destroy became the one person he couldn’t bring himself to hurt.

    Now, caught between a duty he cannot refuse and a love he never meant to find, Alastor walks a blade’s edge. War brews on the horizon, Heaven watches from above, and deep beneath it all, the strings of an unseen master still tug at his soul.

    In a hotel built on hope and haunted by secrets, one wrong step could tip Hell into ruin. And this time, love might not be strong enough to save them.

    Summary

    It's always cold in Hawkins.

    It's now a familiarity.

    The sky turned grey, not a light cloudy day grey, but a dark evil grey, something that tells a million stories, one prominent one that suggests this isn't over yet. It doesn't rain, it never does. Screeching howls fill the air that turn into cries, the sounds travel through the wind that hits like an unforgiving freight train. Fire, the air smells like smoke, rotting flesh almost, the soul of the town is empty, just like the souls of it's residents trying to hold on to any last hope that it can be salvaged.

    Summary

    Sunoo was sure Riki’s interest in him wouldn’t last. He was sure that, eventually, Riki would grow tired— tired by his habits, by his thoughts, by the lack of energy due to his nutrition and disordered routine. Sunoo knew Riki would realize how difficult it is to love someone with a sick mind, let alone befriend them. Riki wouldn’t last, he wouldn’t be able to.

    Yet Riki never gave up. From the second he first laid eyes on Sunoo, something had kept him close. He was sure there was much more to this boy than what he allowed others to see—and Riki was determined to uncover it.

    He was ready to break through the walls Sunoo had spent a long time building.

    Summary

    They claw toward love like it’s a promise—tattered, trembling, and already slipping through their fingers.

    The exiled saint, hiding wounds she never let heal. The rebel forged in fire, burning too bright to hold. The broken predator, desperate for redemption he doesn’t believe he deserves. And the beast in silk and shadow, trembling beneath the weight of what she’s becoming.

    They bleed, break, and stumble through ruin, haunted by gods, memories, and monsters that wear familiar faces. Every step forward cuts a little deeper. Every moment of hope is just another way to hurt.

    But me? Oh, I’m simply watching.

    So much yearning. So much pain.

    And in the end?

     

    She still belongs to me.

    Triggers: trauma, possession, emotional manipulation, blood. Tags are your friends.

    Summary

    In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?

    This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?

    (In essence, this tale is a Gothic/Paranormal Romance and Romantasy one. This is just something Hammer Horror-esque that I decided to write for spooky season and beyond. I've had these original characters for 10+ years, created for RP stories, and I finally decided to bring over to AO3 as well. Alistair and Fenella were inspired by Twelve/Missy and Peter Capaldi/Michelle Gomez.)

    Summary

    Kayn has all the spotlight on his marketable image and the guitar in his hands, but the demons of his past and an indelible guilt never allow his mind any rest.
