Summary
*Every kingdom has its own unique characteristics. Each has its own laws, customs, and procedures.*
*But not all of them observe them, or even have them at all. This is true of a kingdom called Elmaris. It was a kingdom built on a hill, surrounded by deep water.*
*But there was also a small town with residents, tall golden gates, and a long bridge.*
*The king of Elmaris was Kuai Liang.*
*He also had an adopted daughter, Mileena, and a biological daughter, Alexandria, but everyone called her Alex or simply Princess. But she was very different from Mileena.*
*Mileena herself was a meticulous princess, as her parents had died during the invasion of her home palace.*
*Therefore, Kuai Liang saved the princess when she was still young. Alexandria, on the other hand, was a half-breed, as Kuai Liang hadn't told anyone that her mother was a siren, so the princess inherited this gift.*
*But no matter how old she was, she was never allowed outside the palace, otherwise she would be caught and could even be killed, something the king clearly didn't want.*

Summary
A city collapses — and people are born inside the fall.
Babylon Is Us is a story about guilt, refusal of heroism, and the strange grace of choosing to stay human when the world demands symbols.
Told through multiple voices — a child who perceives reality differently, a man who commits an unforgivable act and lives on, a woman who chooses birth over explanation — this is not a story about salvation, but about responsibility.No heroes. No myths to hide behind.
Only people, and the moment when the world cracks open — and something quietly real grows there. -

Summary
“Am I a doll?”
“No, you are not a doll. You are Mithrun.” Mithrun peered down, lifting his skirt a hair to reveal where Kabru kneeled on the floor, needle in hand as he passed stitch by stitch through Mithrun’s calf to reattach his heel. When he noticed Mithrun watching, he sent him a little smile before continuing on his progress until he was able to pull the thread tight and bite it off. He tied it with swift efficiency belying this was an action often repeated even if Mithrun himself couldn’t remember it being so.

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
A child of Fate. A slave to destiny.
Quinn has spent his life fighting destiny.
As a quintessence ghoul gifted and cursed with visions, he’s saved countless lives while slowly losing pieces of himself.
Tragedy strikes when he interferes with Fate one too many times. At his absolute lowest, Quinn finds himself forced into three centuries of servitude and subjugation under a powerful fallen angel. His visions are exploited in exchange for giving him the vengeance he craves, but it comes at a price he was not prepared to pay.
By the time Quinn finally finds freedom, he’s a ghost of himself. Half feral and convinced he’s broken beyond repair.
The story begins when an unexpected summons from Papa Emeritus II pulls him into a new life, a new pack, and a bond he never allowed himself to hope for…one that grows from brotherhood, to wary trust, into something fierce enough to challenge destiny itself.
PLEASE READ THE TAGS AS THERE IS A LOT OF DARK STUFF IN THIS STORY.
Don't be put off by the huge word count! The story is broken up into five distinct parts, so just think of it as a series 🖤
