City of Roses is a serialized epic firmly set in Portland, Oregon—a wicked concoction of urban pastoral and incantatory fantastic, where sinister high-rise riverfront condos... more>> are fought by a sprawling tea-house constructed from scrap lumber and old windows, and ancient sea-gods retire to close-in Southeast apartments with lovely views. It's the story of Jo Maguire, a highly strung, underemployed telemarketer, and what happens when she meets Ysabel, a princess of unspecified pedigree. Jo rather unexpectedly becomes Ysabel's guardian and caretaker, and now must make a place for herself among Ysabel's decidedly unusual family and friends—which involves rather more sword-play than most of us are used to. <<less

|21X WATTPAD FEATURED · 2X SPOLIGHT STORY · SHORTLISTED FOR THE SEASONAL CONTESTS!| Mateo Brook, a young Pinta Park Ranger, must learn the legend of the Green Guardian to save the Paperblank Forest from a ruthless basilisk. What starts as an enjoyable mission soon becomes a matter of life or death.... more>>

***

The fae are an ancient race in Pinta Country, but no fairy is as old as the Green Guardian. Sixty years ago, she trapped a little boy in time. Now she begs for the Pebble Masters to rescue them.

Eleven-year-old Evie Amanda Madison and twenty-one-year-old Mateo Brook are part of a specialized camp aimed at training aspiring Pinta Park Rangers. Evie, who has a dream to be just like her hero, Ranger Anthony, is unaware of the danger she is about to walk into.

There is a basilisk loose in the Paperblank Forest. It's a creature of old magic that dates as far back as the Green Guardian herself.

Together with a talking Red-Crowned Crane, John, and Pinta's young king, Benjamin, Evie and Mateo must find a way to free the time travelers if there is any hope to defeat the monster. Little do they know that this is all part of a prophecy-a prophecy held dearly to the people of Paperblank Village.

Sixty years ago, history changed forever. A dark shadow is looming over Pinta Country, but Evie and Mateo are the only ones who can reverse the past. <<less

I died, I suppose. And now, I am in hell, living a second life as one of the demons.... more>>

Or that is what it seems has happened, anyway. The dark elves are a subterranean race, who have a dark ritual in which one of their children have their soul spliced and merged together in a Frankenstein manner with the powerful earth-elemental spirits known as gnomes. I was one such child, and I was born in this life retaining the memories of both my previous lives.

And now I must survive in this hell in which my entire society expects me, a normal teen boy in my previous life and a lowly gnome wandering the Agarath in my other, to be some form of slaughtering warrior for their dark and war-crazed society.

In this hopeless situation, the only ray of light that shines is the promise. There are others like me. I am not the only one who retained memories of my previous life on Earth, and I must find them so I can escape this dark fate.

This is a parallel series to my Key to the Void series. You do not need to read Key to the Void to follow this series, but they do take place in the same world and at the same time period, and reading both series will help the reader have a more complete understanding of the bigger picture behind the scenes that is unfolding between the two stories.

TL;DR The central plot of either series can be easily enjoyed alone, but those who want to dig deep into the lore should absolutely read both. <<less

Chara, once a beloved child, adored by many… miserably dies! Except, rather than finding peace in the afterlife, she reincarnates as a spirit in a world known as La Vermeen.... more>>

There, she encounters a myriad of strange and interesting spirits, from mischievous wind spirits to calculating math spirits, including a domineering curiosity essence spirit, who offers to teach her—with no ulterior motives whatsoever.

Through her instruction, Chara gleans insights into the nature of mana and magic, enabling her to grasp the power of bond, the cornerstone for all advancement.

By the way, apparently, Curiosity is a very experienced teacher with many past students. So… why are they glaring at us from outside the building? <<less

In ancient folklore and tales, they said the fae were beings of purist magic and foulest trickery, creatures who would mislead travelers into deadly bogs or steal children in the dead of night from their once safe beds. ... more>>

Arisia died. Just like that. Trampled under the ruins of a blazing fire when she rescued a child. ... more>>

But perhaps of that one good deed, Arisia reincarnated.

The world she was in was a weird one. Here, women were the ruling class, the Alphas; and men were the lowest, the Omegas.

It was weird. Super weird. Now, she had turned into an Alpha. And maybe because she was once a human, though aroused by Omega pheromones, Arisia is not driven by the desire to breed with Omegas at all.

And this interesting bit became something so many omegas began to obsess with. <<less

Fae of Yore, Cybernetics and Corporate States, and now Vampires and Werewolves. ... more>>

Miles Lykaon was born the heir to the multi-million Fae gold Lykaon Enterprises, a prince to a metaphorical kingdom. But when tragedy struck, and his parents disappeared, he was the left alone to fend off the vultures. A tall order for a young child.

Years later and branded 'incompetent' by a ruthless trade agreement signed under the reality-altering World Court, everything seemed dire and hopeless.

All he had left was grit, wealth, and a magical martial artist butler on his side.

That is, until they appeared. Two monstrous Fae – a Vampire and a Werewolf – altering his destiny forever, in just two bites.

Now, a Vaewolf amidst Fae, Fae-humans and Corporate Overlords, Miles is about to discover worlds he hadn't even known existed.

Note: The story may start off a bit slow, focusing more on establishing the lore and the world at first, rather than the LitRPG itself.

Initially inspired by a glitch in Skyrim, later expanded by mythology, fairy tales, Fae of legend, and of course, the Worlds of Darkness, and Cyberpunk.

I hope you enjoy what you find here. :) <<less

"The only hope eh?" muttered a woman with short white hair, as she sat leaning against a wall painted with blood.
The lance sticking through her stood tall and proud. It irritated her.

She looked at her broken arm and then at the piles of corpses of short green creatures with pointy ears and noses.

She chuckled at the irony. She was told she was the only hope and yet here she was, dying to a mere thousand goblins.

Her ears perked as she heard footsteps. Through the musty tunnel across her came a hooded man.
He was tall, and had a long beard, the only part of his face she could see.
He had bandages wrapped around his hands and was covered in piles of cloth armor.
He had a large bow in his hand, but he didn't have an arrow in sight.

She once again chuckled at the appearance of the strange man as her painful grunts grew quieter and quieter and to silence.

He climbed the steps of the Demon Queen Castle alone. Both of his sides felt unusually empty. How did it get to this? What did he do wrong? Was it just because he's in debt? Why, oh, why did he borrow that money? Even if it was her dream, he should have just refused, even if it broke her heart. Even if she hates him from then on, he should have refused.... more>>

Ah, right, he has to focus. The top of these stairs does not look attractive to him now. His friends had come here first, and without telling him, they had left him alone.

They left a simple letter: "Wait for us."

And then, three months passed. He should have gone after them immediately. Why did he wait three months, and why didn't they come back? Did the demon queen kill them? What even is that question? If those petrified statues decorating both sides are to be believed, they're dead already. 

A single thought pops up in his mind: "Now then, how did it get this bad?"

Trying out a few changes. I think 6~8k per chapters might be too much. So expect a 3 chapter a week

The cover and illustrations for the character sheets are AI generated, and will be replaced as soon as I have the time for drawing again.

I think I should clarify a few things, since i got a feedback from someone. This story will not contain NTR.

What to expect in smut:
... I don't know actually. I have written several maledom and femdom scenes for this already. And but mostly its just vanilla. You can see the character sheet and their respective fetishes to know what to expect. Oh but there are a few snuff scenes, but its mostly not fetishized(?), there's also a few noncon but that's not what the corruption tag is for. I swear. <<less

When Temate and Toni first met it was a chance encounter. Brought together by happenstance and circumstance they went on what was supposed to be a one night camping trip.

Separated from friends and family, no way to get home and with gifts of fairies. Will the two strangers will either rise and fight together, or struggle and die alone?... more>>

There IS sections of smut/erotica occasionally these will be given their own "chapters" and marked with a <3 heart. They can be skipped, though if you don't mind erotica or smut, or if you enjoy it, there will be further insights into the characters in those sections. Erotica isn't *just* about getting off for me, it also lets me poke at deeper, rawer parts of people. The kinds of things that even the more impulsive people tend to control and hide.
Oh also CW for potentially upsetting kinks at the start of each erotic chapter. Also potentially for normal chapters if I remember/think to.

For the most part though I aim to create a fantasy isekai story which twists what we know enough to be unique, without making it unidentifiable. All the classic stuff is there but with twists, it'll be a blast! Sometimes literally ;)

Chapters are not, and will not likely ever, be uniform or consistent in size. I mostly just write as I can and end the chapter when it feels right. Some will be short, some will be long, some will be in between.

I exist on a series of hyperfixations and hyperfocuses. Right now that is this, I hope to continue to do this to complete the story in my head but who knows when my attention will drift. I promise I will always come back to this but there may be times when I don't post for weeks. Right now I just write when I get home and will post as mentioned above.

Any questions feel free to reach out, feel free to shit on my writing or compliment it, but say something if it engages you!

Post your suggestions, idea's, theories. I love seeing that type of stuff and may feel compelled to tease you about your idea if you're right (or if you're wrong, it's just fun to theory craft).

Spring is in the air! The flowers are in bloom, the chill is receding, and renewal is all around us. Why not take a break from cleaning out those dusty rafters and curl up with nine brand new stories from some of your favorite queerlit authors? ... more>>

Every writer has an idea which has languished in a corner of their mind or in their drafts folder, sometimes for years on end. An idea that's just too good to completely discard, but which you don't know how to start or finish writing. Well, as it turns out, this year we had the perfect chance to do it! Several trans writers stepped up to the challenge, delved deep into their trove of unfinished products, and are now presenting you the results.

A collection comprising several tens of thousand of words' worth of trans-themed stories from trans writers. These writers have given it their all, opening up the windows of their mind to let the inspiration in and battling against monsters shaped like a (writer's) block, and we're very proud of the results!
