Summary
My upcoming slow-burner debut!
Book 1 of the Temptress series.
A paranormal urban fantasy with an eventual romance plot🦌🪽🏔️💠
----
The mountains have always whispered of the Goddesses and their onyx Guardians, but not all folktales speak to guide.After surviving the disaster that devastated her town, Dahlia moves to her grandmother’s rural home, haunted by the memory of dark wings burning through flames. She tells herself it was shock, grief, anything but real.
But the eyes of the mountains know her name…
Feathers fall where none should. Whispers serenade her, and something, someone, watches, his presence as unsettling as it is magnetic.
As Dahlia’s reality begins to unravel, she finds herself drawn to the very myth she should fear most. Because the closer she gets to the truth that should have stayed buried in the dirt, the harder it is to tell whether she’s being hunted… or guarded.

The Wolf In The Big City by Bookish_Wander21

Summary
In the gritty, snow-choked streets of 1935 New York, a hard-boiled private investigator—known as Grimm Wolf—keeps to himself, scraping by on odd jobs and cheap whiskey. Once a decorated veteran, Wolf now avoids both trouble and his own kind: the “fables,” supernatural beings hiding among humans. He prefers the company of ordinary people, even if they rarely return the sentiment.
But trouble finds him anyway. After a run-in with corrupt cops and a failed gig chasing a runaway cat, Wolf’s routine is shattered by a surprise visit from Prince Charming, the impossibly handsome and powerful CEO of Fairyland. The prince reeks of money, entitlement, and secrets—and he’s not alone. He’s looking for his missing secretary, who turns out to be none other than Miss Red Riding Hood.
Will Wolf uncover the truth? Will he finally be forgiving? Only time will tell.- Language:

Summary
This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.

Some of the characters are @HermesSerpents OCs in their fic “Claws and Calls,” and as per the note left at the end of Chapter 40:
“Feel free to remix this idea into your own fic, make it into a podfic, make a video, make fanart, or whatever you want for this fic. This applies to all the ocs within and all the plots. I write what I want to see more of in the world. I'd love to be tagged or notified of it!

Summary
After her mother's death, a grieving young woman leaves the noise of the city behind for the remote village of Inverie — a place her mother never spoke of, and one that can only be reached by sea.
Inverie is beautiful. Untouched. Quiet.
Too quiet.
Her grandmother welcomes her with strange rules — don’t clean the house at night, leave offerings on the mantle and never follow the wind when it begins to spin.
But something is already watching.
A white stag appears at the edge of the moor; silent and waiting.
Objects begin to vanish from the house and in the distance, something screams — something the deer do not fear.
As Samhainn approaches, the veil between worlds thins, and the old stories her grandmother once told begin to feel less like folklore… and more like warning.
Because the fae are not kind.
They remember bloodlines.
And hers was never meant to return.

Summary
Percy was almost done checking everyone in for the ghost tour, when a tall, blond man wearing a crop top stepped up towards him. He had a commanding presence and the sort of features you would see on a statue, and Percy just knew this was who Annabeth and Nico had been talking about earlier.
“Apollo Olympia,” the man said, a slight accent coming out. His eyes fluttered down to look at Percy’s lips. “Nice fangs,” the man smiled, flashing his own set of fangs that were, somehow, even longer than Percy’s.
Percy wondered what kind of SFX shop the man got them from.
--
Or Percy is a dhampir, just trying to get by as a waiter and tour guide in Salem, MA, when a strange tourist named Apollo shows up in his life, and suddenly Witch City is once again the center of hysteria and murder.

Summary
What if Mulder returned to England after "The Erlenmeyer Flask"? And someone decided this was the perfect time to start stalking Scully?
OR
“They’re goddamn right you should’ve told me!” His voice thundered off eighteenth-century oak beams. “You could be dead, right now!”
She made a noise like he’d slapped her. Had he really just repeated their first fight? Yes. Of course. Because Fox Mulder was a sap and a fuckup and he’d left her all alone out there, and now- “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell like that. I’m just…”
“I didn’t think you’d care.” Her voice was the size of a lethal injection needle. It threaded neatly under his skin and into his veins and sent breathless death straight into his heart.
“What?” he rasped.
“You’d moved on. Or, away. You’d moved away. You have another life at Oxford, now, Mulder. Other goals. Other priorities. I should handle these things on my own. I need to handle these things on my own.”
“...Is this why you won’t answer my emails? Is this why you screen all your calls?” -
