In the bustling cityscape, where the world of finance collides with the lively energy of college life, an arranged marriage unites two souls from different worlds - the seasoned, workaholic CEO of the city's largest financial empire and the spirited, carefree college student.... more>>

At the helm of the city's financial juggernaut, the CEO is a man of discipline, dedication, and success. His life is meticulously planned, with every minute accounted for in the pursuit of professional triumphs. Little does he realize that his structured world is about to be disrupted by an unexpected force - his new wife.

On the flip side of the coin is the college student, a cheerful and spontaneous individual who thrives on the unpredictability of youth. Entrusted with the responsibility of adapting to the conventions of marital life, she endeavors to embody maturity and responsibility. It's a role she is not entirely accustomed to, but one she is determined to play.

He imparts lessons on structure, discipline, and the importance of perseverance, inadvertently becoming the mentor she never knew she needed.

Simultaneously, the wife, with her effervescent spirit, introduces a splash of spontaneity and joy into the CEO's regimented existence. Through her, he discovers the beauty of life beyond boardrooms and balance sheets, learning that happiness can be found in the simplest of moments.

Together, they navigate the complexities of their relationship, each leaving an indelible mark on the other's life. The story unfolds as a journey of self-discovery, love, and growth. Through trials and tribulations, laughter, and tears, this unlikely couple strives to bridge the gap between their worlds and find a harmonious balance.

As the pages turn, the tale of this arranged marriage transforms into a narrative of transformation, breaking stereotypes, and proving that love can indeed bloom in the most unexpected places. Will the workaholic CEO learn to appreciate the beauty of spontaneity, and will the carefree college student find satisfaction in structure? Join them on this rollercoaster ride of matrimony, where differences become the threads that weave their extraordinary happy-ever-after story. <<less

***The Gender Bending Has Nothing To Do With The Protagonist***... more>>

Samuel Roland Raith is a White Court Vampire living his life on the run but is otherwise completely normal. He likes to watch movies, read books, play video games, and feast on the emotion of lust from those around him. His entire race has been wiped out and hunted down by a group of megalomaniacs from the Red Court of Vampires called the Volturi. So, as far as he is aware, he is the last of his kind. He spends his time roaming the world, going through high school and college, again and again, to feed and avoid ever making meaningful connections.

White Court Vampires are unique and very different from their more popular Red Court brethren. Free from bloodlust and able to walk in the sunlight, they live their lives almost as if they were completely human. Their only true weakness is the opposite emotion they feed on, in Samuel's case, love. If he ever were to find love—true love especially—he would be in for a world of hurt. It's a good thing true love is so hard to find!

His newest adventure is at a high school in Forks Washington, and he fully expects it to go just as the last 40 years on the run has. Feed off the lust of teenagers, live quietly, and move on after college. No worries, right?

A/N: This is a gender-bent Alternate Universe version of the Twilight books & movies with a mix of the White Court Vampires, themes, and organizations based loosely on The Dresden Files books. Not all characters will be gender-swapped, but many will be.

The romance will be MC and Alice - If you are looking for that ahead of time.

~ Abracadabra ~

Aloha, and welcome to The Garden.
My name is Bagheera and I’m the narrator.

These stories are all “fictional”,
so there’s no need to go around
insisting that the people, places and events
described here are “real”
like the mythical Russian mystic ~ Anastasia;
even if you feel particularly moved by them.

Regardless of their purely coincidental
similarity to any real person or situation,
these stories have an explicit purpose,
which does not hinge upon whether or not
they can be verified by historical record.

The purpose of these stories is to illustrate
ways of living and being that differ greatly
from those to which humanity
~ in the so-called “developed”
and allegedly “civilized” world ~
has grown accustomed.

The heroes in these tales are simply
Men and Women who have discovered
~ and moved into alignment with ~
The Laws of Nature.

Through communion with this Cosmic Law,
and devoted Service to All Life,
they have brought peace
to their lives and to their world.

My intent in sharing these stories
is that they may inspire you
as they have inspired me:

“To Learn and Grow Stronger,
All Ways and Eternally.”

~ Blessings. ~ <<less

☆ Magic, vampires, necromancers, forests

☆ A bit of foraging, cottages and nature :)

This is a standalone story but is set in the same world as my manga "Israphaellia's Journey" (quite a few years old so the art style isn't as good as my current one) and "Israphaellia's Adventure" (my latest manga). <<less

This is my first story, I do have smaller drafts for other stories in my notes but this is the first one I've actively tried to make readable and post worthy. To clarify the main character is not trans and this is not a genderbender.
There will not be many dark moments, however there will undoubtably be a couple here and there.
As I'm new to this, I'd appreciate feedback and/or advice. I imagine it'll take a while for this story to finish but I'll try to have a chapter or two out a week. Thank you all.
