A Trains On The Brain series story.... more>>

In the mid 2000s, twelve year old Robin lives in the commuter-belt village of Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire with his eight year old friend, Timothy. The two friends have a big-brother and little-brother dynamic between them, with Robin being more mature and sensible while Timothy is more innocent and playful. Although Robin's old adversaries no longer bother him, he's still traumatized by the events of the past and he can't get over how miserable he used to feel.
The biggest fear Robin has is losing his friend, who means the world to him now. He becomes jealous of how Timothy starts to play with Jake more than him. Then, when Timothy expresses interest in taking the stabilizers off his bike after his ninth birthday, Robin resists. He doesn't want Timothy to change, he's happy with his friend exactly as he is.
Finally, Robin starts to understand himself more as he visits the psychologist over the months. Being autistic doesn't mean he's a bad person, it just means that he's different. However, he needs to embrace the changes that occur in his life, especially when it involves other people. He agrees to help Timothy to ride his bike without his training wheels, and the two friends can then embrace more adventures than they could before. This includes a surprise joint-family holiday to Paris on the train! <<less

When those from beyond the stars came, the six Houses stood against them, saving the world from invaders intent on destroying it. Generations later, those same Houses form the bedrock of Lutov, a seemingly perfect society where all are provided for. Here, war is a myth and death, a choice. Yet here, no one questions their devotion to their chosen House.... more>>

Zaeden will soon join a House, a choice he’s dreaded since childhood. All he’s ever wanted is to live outside of the Houses' control, to find freedom. Unfortunately, he's caught the attention of the legendary Lokke Vitras, the protector and shield of the homeland, and that man is determined to decide his future. Zaeden will serve as his replacement, becoming the Lokke Vitras in his own time, whether he likes it or not.

As he goes through his training, Zaeden faces many trials and moral dilemmas, but the one that most challenges him is a question he’s asked his whole life. How can he find freedom when the world insists on defining who he is?

This story is for people who like snarky, clever protagonists with a dash of recklessness and extreme loyalty to those they love. It is for lovers of the self-critical, the idealistic, and what happens when such people are trapped in their own worst nightmare. Lastly, it is for those who enjoy reading about glittering societies that are not at all what they seem.

As with everything I write, The Art of Becoming is a slow-burn fiction with a heavy focus on characterization. There will be sexual content, but I am not graphic with that, and most of the scenes depicted serve to move the plot or character development along in one way or another. Also, Zaeden is pansexual, polyamorous, and most importantly, extremely social, so yes, there will be a romantic subplot. It is not, however, the main focus of the story.

The Art of Becoming takes place several centuries after one of my other fictions: Planetfall. Reading that story isn't necessary, and there will only be slight spoilers about the overall ending of that book in this one. I consider Planetfall to be the prequel for The Art of Becoming.

For the weekend of its release, I'll be uploading several chapters, but after that weekend, I will update with one chapter a day Monday-Friday at 1 pm PST. <<less

Covert feralist Vanessa White hates life after the Affini have arrived. She hates how demeaning and patronizing they are, how they only take each other seriously, how she'll never be responsible for anything, and how, if she reveals her dissatisfaction with life, she'll be domesticated. So, she makes a plan.

Somehow, she manages to eke out a small win against the Affini: She takes control of her life.

This is what happens when an HFY lover writes Human Domestication Guide fiction. Overall, this is going to be a little bit different from most of the other stories there; it's not cuddly happiness, and it's not kinky identity death smut. I did do my homework though; this fanfic is completely consistent with the wiki. <<less

This is my first story. It's a slow-paced, (not-so-light-hearted) slice-of-life story set in an alternate world, with a futuristic setting. It has a dash of science-fiction, fantasy, paranormal, LGBT themes and--maybe--some horror aspects, as well. Instead of romance, the story centres around a little boy and his new (non-human) friends.... more>>

Since the chapters are pretty long, they're cut in small portions and each part is published as I write.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE:
1) This story contains LGBT themes, the extent of which is yet to be decided.
2) This story might contain themes some may find uncomfortable to read through or even triggering.
3) This story won't not be written like most novel & chapters' length might differ greatly from one another.
4) Contains homophobia, strong language, bullying, threats, deaths and violence <<less

Book 1 - JiangXi (complete)

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.
