======
Very queer/poly, very fluffy, very not cisgender story about falling in love and talking about feelings. Heavily influenced by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Her Xenogenisis series mostly, where aliens came to earth to make human hybrid babies because they wanted cancer, only without all the weird consent issues she loves.

This will be mostly me working my way through interesting ideas without much of anything in the way of story arcs or core conflicts other than what feels interesting within the fiction at the time. When doing tabletop RPG stuff I'm a very 'fly by the seat of your pants' GM so this is that blasted into writing.

Content warnings:
*death of a parent
*cancer
*mention of transphobic parents
*mention of "chasers" and trans fetishizing
*panic attacks
*autistic meltdown and sensory issues/overload
*discussion and practice of self governed mind alteration
*alcohol consumption
*Discussions of STDs and safe sex practices
I'll add more here as I see them or am notified I missed something. Any chapter bigger stuff comes up will also have notes at the beginning.

*I use "gender bender" loosely, less as in genre tropes of forced or accidental transformation. More in that there will be gender fuckery, but it will be done under conscious control of the character for their own ends (mostly comfort in fluid identity or messing with cis people).
*"Genderless Protagonist" should be nonbinary, but that's not an option?

This is my first real attempt at creative writing so it’s rough but it feels nice to put out there. Please feel free to toss constructive criticism my way as you think of things.

In a world shaped by divine remnants and ancient war, a disgraced Empress wakes from death—regressed to a time before her downfall. Once revered, Morgana was accused of adultery and executed by the very man she loved. Now, armed with memories of betrayal and ruin, she wants nothing more than to escape her fate and forge a different path—even if it means defying fate itself. She awakens with the Golden Runes—a mysterious power granted by the roaming gods known as the Eldars, whose silence is both a blessing and a curse.... more>>

Life beyond the palace is quieter, steadier, and for the first time—hers. She finds comfort in tending herbs, visiting markets, unexpected friendships and learning the patient craft of brewing potions. Drawn to the gentle rhythm of the Brewmaster’s path, she begins to find healing not through power or revenge, but through creation. Each tincture and elixir becomes a step toward reclaiming her sense of self. Yet even peace has its complications. The past lingers in whispers, and as her name begins to stir old memories and quiet rumors, the life she’s trying to build may not remain untouched for long.

Set in a richly layered world of crumbling empires, mythical ascension, and slow-burning revolution, this is a tale of quiet resistance, self-reinvention, and the burden of knowing what comes next. And in a world where peace is fragile and power divine, one woman’s second chance might be the key to unraveling it all.

What to Expect:

-A slow-burn, slice-of-life story with potion crafting, training, and travel.
-Gradual, meaningful character growth—not just in strength, but in mindset, healing, and perspective.
-A character-driven narrative with rich, relevant world-building woven into every chapter.
-A progression system tied to the divine aspects of the gods—known as Eldars—each representing a force of the world.
-Subtle mysteries, soft magic, and emotional beats that reward patience and immersion.

A cozy LitRPG adventure, with a cottage-core aesthetic. Riddles, puzzles, and magic galore!... more>>

I dropped into an alternate dimension and need your help to navigate this odd world. I am to be an apprentice to a Sorceress. To do that I have to learn how to keep house, grow herbs, craft potions, and finally, learn magic! I have to solve riddles and puzzles to complete Old Toad's Grimoire, a mystical tome that will help me learn spells. With the help of my two tutorial NPCs (they prefer 'sidekicks' or 'sage advisors'), I aim to be the most powerful Sorcerer in the land! But first, I have to learn how to properly mop the floors.

The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag.

Why are they screaming?

Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world…

Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest.
