    Summary

    Sim Settlements 2, despite certain technical frustrations, contains many fascinating characters. Some of them are apparently designed to drive me, personally, insane. I've heard this trope described as "science bimbo," which doesn't sound very nice to me, but apparently it inflames my passions and causes me to write fiction. Life is a journey of self-discovery, I guess.

    Summary

    What happens when Heaven and Hell are forced to play by the same rules?
    Lucifer Morningstar makes a dangerous bet with Sera: twelve chosen souls will live as powerless humans in Los Angeles for an entire year. Crammed together in a crumbling brick apartment, they must survive the pain and euphoria of the relentless temptations of Earth without committing a single deadly sin.
    One impulsive slip, one lustful kiss, one burst of wrath, and the bet is over.
    With prideful professors, flirtatious artists, grumpy baristas, and perfectly poised good–Samaritans, the real question isn’t who will sin… but how long they can resist.
    Let the countdown begin.

    Summary

    This is the story of a young Ampharos-human (Gijinka) called Farrah Spears.

    Instead of a simple life as a farm laborer, she chose to take on tournament fighting, thanks to her gift of Ice Manipulation.

    Will she be able to defy all expectations and manage to win a tournament? Or is she cursed to keep trying and failing?

    And what will she find on the way?

    At long last! I managed to formulate the beginning of a competent rewrite of this little Universe! Originally thought as a bit of a story filled with smut, I decided to streamline it and see it to reach the end. I have lots of ideas in my active mind.

    May 2nd, 2026 UPDATE: Episode 32 posted! Still trying my best to stick to my bi-weekly update schedule :).

    Summary

    Kesten Garess was once a noble son of Brevoy — now he is a man without a house. In the Stolen Lands, he clings to duty as Warden and reluctant protector of a baroness whose fire is as dangerous as it is mesmerizing.

    Haunted by her fragile ties to her noble family, she hides secrets beneath silk gloves and prayers whispered to the flames. She is an oracle of fire, a young scion of House Orlovsky trying to build a kingdom from nothing but ashes and uncertain alliances.

    Yet the same fire that promises rebirth could devour them both. Kesten must decide whether to temper her flames with steel or surrender to a blaze that might consume the last pieces of himself he still calls his own.

    At the same time, a relationship (slowly) develops between Teras, an oracle servant of Pharasma whose memories are vague, and Tristian.

    Just as the new kingdom searches for its identity, so do the characters, amid curses, monsters, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

    Summary

    Your heart cleaves open. Your body can't move, not while he's using his Evol, but you just know it would have been if given the chance. The only thing you can do is look, eyes wide in disbelief, as the Colonel plunges cold, nebulous eyes into yours. You know those eyes, even if you've never seen them so cunning. You know them in a million different ways: crinkling around the corners as you poke his waist, wide in worry right after you fall, fragmented behind a glass door as you scream, flashing before your eyes before you sleep while hot tears stream down your cheeks.

    Caleb's eyes.

    Caleb, who is standing right in front of you, taking you to an interrogation room.

    Alive.

    Alive.

    Summary

    Settling into the new Kira Task Force headquarters after Light's time in captivity, L makes the decision to be chained to Light and with him 24/7. This decision was, on the surface, meant to create pressure for his prime suspect and to disallow Kira committing more murders under his watch. However, Light is no longer sure exactly why he insisted that he be put into captivity, and he does not quite seem like he remembers or possesses the power to commit murder from a remote location.

    As the two of them coexist with forced proximity at all hours of the day, questions of dignity, personal space, and the nature of their relationship arise, all while Light deals with the fact that his father seems to give his ongoing consent to this situation.

    [An alternate universe exploring the unsettling details of the 'chained together' situation, culminating in some release of sexual tension with a lot of emotional and character exploration along the way.]

    Summary

    For Rhys Week 2026! Day 6: Daddy

    Feyre plans a game night—and not only does Mor ditch, but Mor's cousin from Illyria shows up unannounced. Rhys is just like Feyre remembers: incredibly hot, out of her league, and still has that flirty look in his eye.

    She's only had two one-night stands in her life. Both were disastrous. But he doesn't need to know that.

    ⟢✧⟣

    “Tattooed daddy?” he snorts. "Who taught you guys that?" 

    "Oh please," she huffs, standing a little taller. “Like I needed to be taught." Just as the words leave her mouth, her eye snags on the whorls of ink on his arms and neck. They snap up faster than natural. 

    Holding her eye, he brings his glass to his mouth. He sips, slow. Amused. Her stubbornness clamps down, refusing to break eye contact first, even as her skin starts to burn—

    Finally, he lowers the glass and brushes a thumb across his lower lip. “Is that what you call your one-night stands?”

    Summary

    Biography of two siblings.
    A marriage of havoc and harmony.

     

    After a calculated closure, Lowen wakes up in an unadorned and rustic room, trapped in a four-month-old body. As he loathes fate's irony, the interference of the nearly three-year-old Seraphine gives him the intellectual match he craves.

    What happens when an experienced, high-functioning mind unites with a raw and innocent genius? 
    Will they self-preserve? Or will their curse of competence morph them into fertiliser for the new world-unifying era?

    This is a story that explores the cost of improving civilisation through a tragic sibling bond struggling to protect its integrity and find its humanity.

    Happy birthday
