Summary
House Targaryen hails from greatness, hails from an empire of oil and steel. This illicit and private family lives and dines in luxury. They are swathed in gold and every spotlight in New York.
Rhaenyra wasn’t supposed to inherit anything. Not Dragonstone, not the estates, and not the very Targaryen name. Yet, she is crowned heir over the scarlet birthing bed of her mother. Enemies will spring out from the weeds, both new and old in a world built for betrayal.
Her new title will divide the House, friends, family, and her own morality. The friend she loved would betray her, the father she needed would abandon her, and the uncle she shouldn’t desire would become her greatest shame.

Summary
Senior year—a time to focus on grades, plan for college, maybe party…and keep your little siblings from burning your school down too. Athena had never expected to start her last year at Olympia High with seven young gods she used to only see at home. Ares had never expected to start his junior year in his big sister’s shadow either. Unfortunately, neither can go against their father’s plans. So, they just have to accept that for the next school year, they are going to be seeing each other. A. Lot. Well, at least it is not all bad. The war siblings can probably stomach this, but it also might be a good thing that they literally cannot kill each other.

The First Defiance Series: Daughter of the Divine by Rlewis93
Fandoms: The Bible (TV 2013)
26 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The First Defiance: Daughter of the Divine follows Zorina Ashbourne, a fiercely independent young woman whose blood carries a dangerous truth the ruling Council has spent generations trying to erase. Descended from both Lilith’s primal fire and Eve’s living soil, Zorina awakens an ancestral power that should not exist, much less coexist, and becomes an immediate threat to a world built on control, hierarchy, and carefully edited history. As rivals hunt her, the Council closes ranks, and an enemy obsessed with stealing her magic steps out of the shadows, Zorina refuses to be shaped into a weapon or a martyr. Guided by ancestral echoes, bound to ravens and a summoned beast, and grounded in a private garden that answers only to her, she fights not to save the world, but to claim herself, proving that balance is not obedience. Survival can be its own form of rebellion.

Summary
A silly lil fluffy fic I wrote about domestic Wolfstar.
It's simple, every day nonsense
I modernised it a little (I gave them mobile phones, for ease of communication)
Content warning: it's a little suggestive in places. More intmacy than just fluff. Nothing explicit, just me experimenting with what I wanna write.
As always, not in any way associated with JKR

Summary
More than a century after his death, Erik still roams the halls of Opera Garnier, now as an actual ghost. That is until a mysterious voice pulls him out of limbo. Once again a young man in flesh and blood, he is intent on finding Christine and winning her heart but it seems like it might be easier said than done as the modern world proves to be full of unexpected obstacles. Thankfully, he's not alone in his endeavor. Helping him there is a familiar-looking guard and a rather resourceful singer who turns out to be the great-great-granddaughter of someone he used to know.
This is a story of love and friendship, and of how one little mistake can determine the course of your entire life, including life after death.

Summary
Thero, a naiad like any other, but with a wild and aggressive nature, free as the wind. Her name doesn't mean "wild beast" for nothing. She sees herself as an independent woman, she doesn't need a man or children. She can't imagine herself caring for a child... But that changes when the queen (or rather, her messenger) decides that she should be the wet nurse to her newborn son: Ares.
Enter this love song! Not romantic or lascivious. But a maternal love, even if it lacks a blood bond.
It's also a song about the childhood of the god of war, since even he was once a child. -
