    Summary

    Lumine is alone. Her parents were dead, Aether was missing, and so she was alone. Pretty simple.

    Or, that was the case, until Childe came crashing into her life. Literally.

    Only problem? He has no memory.

    Now, she has to try and get him home all while unraveling the mystery of a brother who she thought long dead.

    Surely that can’t be too hard.

    Summary

    Christ, the Tsaritsa would have his head if something as dumb as burnt cookies was the downfall of her entire crime syndicate. And Childe likes his head exactly where it is thank you very much. Cursing, Childe whips around, piping bag in one hand and half decorated cupcake in another, when he makes three startling realizations.

    One. The cookies are not done baking and there's still 13 minutes left on the timer.

    Two. The smoke was coming from behind him and not beside him where the oven is.

    And three. There’s a strange girl standing in the middle of his kitchen.

    Ajax Caeli, cute pâtissier by day, crime lord by night, and his terrible, very bad, no good introduction to demon summoning.

    (Thankfully this demon is cute. And thankfully she likes his cupcakes, otherwise he might be pushing daisies by now. On an unrelated note, does anyone happen to know the marriage laws for a human and a demon?)

    Summary

    Cottagecore vampire romance.

    Lumine is an orphan who knows nothing of herself. On her 18th birthday, she is sent to an arranged marriage, and finds out that her husband is a vampire. Without the means to escape, she reluctantly stays, and learns more about her husband through the other inhabitants of the manor.

    As she gets used to being a vampire’s wife, the truth of their shared past is revealed, and horrors set into motion in the dark upends them both.

    Tender and dark, this story explores trauma, grief, loss, and the way people do their best to care for each other despite circumstances.

    The story narrative, plot, and themes are heavily influenced by post-modernism and psychological constructivism, and is experimental in certain parts.

    Basically a food blog. It is not advised to read this while hungry.
