    Summary

    Just a backwoods country girl, living in her hunting cabin. That’s all Adam knew you as and it was never his intention to get to know you any better. You were just another cast-off of humanity, so saving you shouldn’t have happened. It was probably your time to die, and now? Now he’d have to pay the fucking price.

    After one fateful day of wandering the woods in a rare, quiet contemplation, Adam finds himself accidentally saving a young woman by pure happenstance. When that happens, he becomes an unwitting guardian angel.

    Summary

    You're an average young woman, just trying to live your life. After almost meeting your untimely demise one night, you're saved by a foul-mouthed divine being who claims to be your Guardian Angel, AND the first man.

    That's nice and all... Until you realize that this asshole doesn't. Stop. Talking. And he's a dick. And he thinks he can do whatever he wants.

    OR; Adam is your Guardian Angel who swoops in to save you when you need it, and also pesters you whenever he feels like it. This arrangement is fun for neither of you.

    May just end up being a two-shot. TBD, will depend on comment activity!

    Summary

    Sanctimonious is not a word you know just yet.

    If you had known it, at this point in time— freshly seven-years-old and mucked up with the rest of the filth in Wool's— you would've told Tom Riddle what he was straight to his little pudgy face. Or, you would try. Back then, you were more curious than mean and softer than wet paper.

    If Riddle heard it, he would've left you crumpled up to dry on the lavatory floor.

    Maybe he still would.

    Summary

    In the kingdom of Elfhame, where shadows whisper secrets and power is a deadly game, Lilia has always stood out for one thing: she is human. Raised among the Folk, she learned early that strength is not just a matter of swords and poison, but also of will and words. She seeks neither glory nor revenge, but just a place where she can exist without having to fight for every breath.

    Beside her is Jude, her dearest friend, who always seems one step ahead in understanding the ruthless rules of the fairy court. But Jude has her secrets, like the way his gaze lingers too long on Nicasia, the proud princess of the sea.

    And then there is Cardan, a prince with an indolent air and a poisonous smile. He is everything Lilia despises: effortlessly cruel, frivolous by nature, and, above all, a problem she does not want to face. And yet, by a twist of fate, their paths continue to intertwine.

    Lilia knows that challenging the faeries is dangerous. But challenging Cardan? That could be an even bigger mistake.

    *This story is inspired by and based on the book The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
