The pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all Dream ever wanted. As he grew up though, his naivety vanished and he found that the world was nothing more than a prison that would allow neither of those things. However, after giving himself up to the endless abyss expecting to disappear, he found himself awoken in a new world! ... more>>

Magic, skills, science, technology, and the secrets of the universe within his reach.

Dream found everything he ever needed and wanted, and he would go on to unintentionally dominate the lands with his unprecedented ability to fuse the world of the arcane with the world of science.

This is my first work. Take that for what its worth.

Feng Qinghe, a renowned disciple of the prestigious Heavenly Peak Sect, is used to bearing his burdens alone and throwing himself into danger for others’ benefit. While exploring a hidden realm, his unique way of doing things garners the interest of Wei Xiang, a feared senior officer from the cultivation world’s judicial force, who starts to observe him from the shadows. But the inexplicably astute Feng Qinghe is not an easy person to deal with, while Wei Xiang is found intriguing by the disciple in turn.... more>>

After the two become lovers, they aid friends, take on new adventures, and help each other heal from old wounds, all the while growing ever closer to uncovering Feng Qinghe‘s unknown past and the significance of a heavenly soul.
____________

A glimpse into their day-to-day life–

Qinghe, when he is in mortal danger: Oh dear. *sighs* I hope I won’t lose my right arm this time or I can’t help Master with paperwork later.

Qinghe, when his friends are in the slightest trouble: *rushing onward with cold determination* Who has the time to worry about injuries when my friends need me!

Wei Xiang: *lifting him up by the waist* Not so fast, love. Your friends can handle themselves and they have their own powerful lovers to help. They can afford to spare mine when he’s recuperating.

Qinghe: *dangling limply in his hold and blinking entreatingly* But Xiaaang…

Wei Xiang softens and puts Qinghe down, then kisses him on the forehead.

Wei Xiang: How about this? If you agree to rest, I’ll let you have one session with me afterwards.

Qinghe: *perking up* Do you mean a sparring session? Or…

Wei Xiang: *charmed by his enthusiasm* Whichever my darling little lover wants.

Qinghe: *smiling hopefully* Both?

Wei Xiang: *chuckling* Then let’s spar after you get better and the winner this time gets to choose what we do in bed.

Qinghe thus focuses on recovering with single-minded concentration, and later, Wei Xiang happily sacrifices his body and skills to both their enjoyment.

On the other side–

Wei Xiang: *growling* Senior Brother, I warned you that the next time you leave such a big pile of work for me to finish, I’ll make you pay for it in the training arena. *drags him off to spar*

His Senior Brother: *leaving a trail of nail marks on the floor* Junior Brother, mercy! Nooo!!!

The Other Officers: *turning to Qinghe hopefully* Um…aren’t you going to do something about your lover?

Qinghe: Ah? Oh! *takes out a large banner and starts waving it enthusiastically* Xiang, you can do it! My lover is the most handsome! My Xiang is undefeatable!

Wei Xiang pauses terrorizing his senior brother in the guise of training and blows his beloved a kiss.

Everyone: ……

They should’ve known that someone their Senior Officer Wei chose wouldn’t be normal! <<less

I thought I knew what it meant to be human, until I crossed those boundaries.
I believed I knew my limits, until I expanded all I am.

My senses mapped over hers, and I learned how incredible her alien world was for us.
Her senses mapped over mine, and she learned how wondrous my alien world was for us.
Our worlds overlap. Our minds awaken and link together. Our hearts synchronize.
Our realities hold truth, in separation and in unity.
This is all because of what she did to me, and also what I decided for myself thereafter.

She and I are the most unusual pair we've ever known, a Human and an Altiri, each far apart, yet brought together by an incredible power. This is where my story begins. It's more than a crazy romance story; our intertwined lives is the embodiment of how I live, in this crazy world we call normal, with our secrets left untold.

This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. No life is perfect. No relationship is easy. Still, I would never trade it for anything. Join me, as I breathe life into these moments, memory by memory.

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)
I will add the dungeon core tag when I start posting Dungeon Integration.

From Scorpio With Love

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book Three of
the Cosmos Shared Universe. A place which
is not as desolate as it appears.

Wei is a dungeon core and finally getting a planet of his own. However, despite his best efforts, he can’t gain a form. The only thing he can do is protect the interests of the Dru’dru natives of the planet, a task that seems almost impossible with the recent development coming to light.
Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less

My name is Catherine Sierra, and a month ago I thought I was a human boy. Turns out I was neither, and I wasn't even born on Earth. Now I've been thrown into a galaxy that was a million times wider than I could have ever expected, fighting an enemy that nearly wiped out my entire species. The only people on my side are my parents, my ex-girlfriend, my best friend, and an alien scientist who doesn't like people all that much. So, in other words, everything's going totally peachy.... more>>

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

The penal labor colony called Solstice lies nearly 500 light years from Earth. For decades, the planet was used by the fascist Terran Accord as a dumping ground for prisoners, political and otherwise — that is, until the prisoners organized and won a hard-fought revolution against their corporate overlords and took the planet for themselves. The Accord, on the back foot in their war against the Affini, struck back from orbit, and fired a single shot that almost rendered the planet uninhabitable. For an aging revolutionary at the heart of it all, the arrival of the Affini means salvation for her people, but it also marks the beginning of a new fight for liberation. ... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> This story is set in the Human Domestication Guide collaborative universe.

More than 30 stone of muscles and bones, the best of goat, cat, and squirrel (do not underestimate them) merged with a stale soul using outlawed magic; appearing on a battlefield, with more strength and endurance than the centaurs. The next step for the Kwal armies. The signs were clear.... more>>

But the capitulation came before she was awaken. And everybody's first thought was 'how cute', by unanimous vote of either children, healers, clerics, or mages. It certainly wasn't because Kiara remembered being pushed in front of a subway train during rush hour and couldn't speak a word. Even with claws out and fangs bared, their scare would last only seconds. Otherwise cute.

Now, she had to find her way to fit into a human society with her unique body. And seize the chances it offers to her.

Rewriting it under "The Frost Maiden's Oath" :)

Humanity was close to conquering the Galaxy at the peak of its power. All the other species were either absorbed into the fold, becoming citizens of the Hegemony of Men or were pushed towards the edges of yet-to-be-explored parts of the Milky Way. But everything has its end... and the end for Humanity came way too suddenly. Nobody knows, not even today, what caused the collapse more than 5,000 years ago, but one thing is certain: No humans have ever been sighted again since then. The Galaxy was changed once more, giving birth to new empires, climbing up on the ruins, left behind their hated foes, the ones who previously conquered them.... more>>

Today, those who call themselves the descendants of Humanity, those who carry their genes, a result of their previous interbreeding of species, are ostracised, hunted, and persecuted by the rest of the Galaxy. Sylen belongs to such a branch of "humans," carrying genes from his ancestors and from another species. A mix. A hybrid. A mutant. She traveled with her grandfather, salvaging, searching for old tech from a bygone era, and trying to get by. They were just sailing back home after a successful find when another life-changing event happened right before them; The rediscovering of a living, breathing human out in the emptiness of space!

Maybe the answers to what happened back then are just around the corner, or maybe it should have been left unanswered all along. <<less

Lindír is one of the twin children of the Queen of Hvalheim, cursed to be born with the body of a dragon. For the first sixteen years of their life, they were locked away beneath the castle, allowed only brief forays into the surface world.

But it's not going to be easy; the world is dangerous for dragons, and an even greater danger may lie in the darkest parts of Lindír's damaged heart.... more>>

Liara T'soni did not believe in luck. After all that had happened, what she believed in was redundancy. With the Reapers on the way, she didn't put all her hope in her lover. Most of it? Yes. But not all.... more>>

Some plans, she told others about. Such as her preparation of knowledge repositories. Time capsules for the next cycle, intended to prepare future species for the Reapers. Others, she told no one about. Sponsoring the Andromeda initiative was one such effort, as it would ensure that some of their species would be far beyond the reach of the Reapers. She told no one, so that no one would ever know to follow them in the first place.

But...there were other projects, ones she didn't mention to anyone. Not out of security concerns, but because they were utterly absurd. Shots in the dark, mystical gobbly-gook, things she didn't expect to work but threw a few million meaningless credits at...just in case. So when the sacrificial guinea pig of one such experiment finds themself waking up in their younger body, years before the Reaper invasion? Well, that was one no one was expecting to work. Unfortunately, the person that went back wasn't the one that was meant to. Fortunately? That person was Oriana Lawson... <<less

Tamara Slaine: attorney, wife, Martian. She endures the crushing gravity of the ancestral homeworld and the gladhanding and bootlicking that comes of managing the money of the elite for the sake of her clients, whom she represents in the legalistic hell of the Accord's courts, and for her wife, Judy, who she privately keeps as a pet totally free of any responsibilities.... more>>

When the Affini come, Tam's world is utterly upended. Her struggle against the State, once all-but-impossible, is over. Now her only concern is assisting the Affini as they help her incarcerated clients adjust to a new reality, and adjusting herself to the new reality of her alien overlords also keeping humans as pets. She finds herself questioning what it means to be Tam, what it means to "own" her wife, and even what it means to be human.

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.
