This story is my very first I finished so I hope everyone enjoys reading it. The first arc involves school but the second and third arc take our protag to some interesting places. The main character is also a loli for pretty much the whole story but as it isn't the focus I decided not to put it as a tag. I could also put the tragedy genre down for arc two and three but I'm not sure.

I have begun reuploading the story with a new name "Artifice: Tools of the Gods" on Royal Road and will be splitting the chapters split into smaller pieces along with more editing. Those that prefer shorter chapters should wait. <<less

My submissions for the 2020 Yuri Garden writing competitions. Met Her Match was written for the "9 Nights in the Garden of Lilies: A Yuri Garden Anthology" while The Dragon and Snake was written for "The Yuri Garden Writing Competition (2020)". Both protagonists are black women while one protagonist is fat.... more>>

Met Her Match (summary which I copied from the Yuri Garden Glossary)
Joy has it all: she’s beautiful, she’s successful, and she’s one half of the UK showbiz scene’s lesbian power couple. That’s why she’s Adaaku’s rival. At least, that’s what Adaaku tells herself. She swears it has nothing to do with being snubbed on Tinder all those years ago. When targeted bullying leaves Adaaku crying alone in a bathroom, however, it’s Joy who comes to save her.

The Dragon and The Snake
Candace has an agenda for entering the emperor's harem. And it's definitely not because of love. However, Lucy, the empress makes it difficult to focus on her agenda. Maybe her agenda is because of love after all. <<less

Few people are purely evil or good. Everyone has their own desires and their own principles guiding what they are prepared to do to achieve those desires. A duke who wants to expand the influence of his house, his wife who is fiercely loyal to her friends, and their child who just wants some comfortable clothes. The queen who wants what's best for the kingdom, the king who wants what's best for his family and a prince with an inferiority complex. Even if everyone acts in a way they deem 'correct', sometimes people can still get hurt.... more>>

What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you’re at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar.

But as... more>> if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Three short GL stories, originally written for and posted as part of “9 Nights in the Garden of Lilies: A Yuri Garden Anthology”, collected here for easy access.... more>>

As the “special author’s edition”, this copy features new author’s notes, the author’s preferred order, and a glossary containing extra lore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MUIRGEN

On their sixth anniversary, an explosion stole their lives. Tristan was still reeling from the loss of his wife when he was reborn as Muirgen, the plain daughter of minor nobility.

In a flashy fantasy land that his brother would have drooled over, what was waiting for him was not a life of magic or easy glory, but exploitation at the hands of a father who legally owned him.

Just when he had lost all hope, an unexpected second chance arrives through a political marriage to the dark elf queen.

"Muirgen" is an atypical gender bender about grief, agency, and the art of learning to love again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HEART IS A SEA

Mermaids are beautiful – everyone knows that. But at what point does admiring them become something more?

Skye has been wrestling with that question for almost the whole thirteen years of her life. Now, cast out by her friends under suspicion of being “a lesbo”, it seems like the only question that matters.

When an enthusiastic mermaid princess offers her a deal that might bring her closer to the answer, Skye agrees without sparing a thought for the consequences.

"The Heart is a Sea" is a romantic comedy about compulsory heterosexuality and mer-human culture clash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO BE A PRINCESS (THERE MUST FIRST BE PAIN)

Princesses don’t cry.

This is the one rule for royalty in Corde Femmes. Vervain has known since she was a child that her fate is to be kidnapped by the Demon Queen, like all princesses before her, and saved after a year of penance. It’s the only way to appease the goddess, Feuvert.

But when her summoned hero sneers at the task before her and refuses to follow tradition, Vervain fears that Feuvert’s wrath will destroy them all.

I wish I could forget that I ever realised how much better it would be if I were a woman. I wish I could go back to that blissful innocence before.... more>>

That night, she was bored and illegally downloaded and installed "Life is but a Rose", the most cheesy and terribly rated otome game of 2001. Just as promised, it was laughably bad. She heckled the game the entire night, finishing it at dawn. As she fell asleep she thought, "Did monkeys write this? How could they let the characters be so dumb, if it were me I wouldn't be that stupid..."... more>>

And then she woke up in the body of a child "Camilla Florentine." The dumbest character of them all: the villainess. Bad ends and death flags are all that await the arrogant and proud Daughter of the Duke. But only if she went according to the script! As long as she makes her own "Escape Route", surely nothing could go wrong...

"Huh? I activated a hidden route? Who cares about that! Love flags or whatever, I've got a great job lined up and can live how I want, screw the game's fate and capture targets! I'M FREEEEEEE!" Runs out the door.

Years later:

"Why did a Capture Target follow me to a completely different country??????"

Made in the style of a Japanese light novel, a oneshot (separated into parts) I made a few years ago, so it's definitely not perfect. There may also be things in there that can't be understood without being a weeb, so apologies if there's a problem with that, too.

|WATTPAD FEATURED| A rainy day encourages Teuila's father to take her out on the Oceania, but what will happen when their boat flips, and they're left stranded in the Atlantic Ocean?... more>>

***

Teuila just wanted a peaceful summer break, after her first year at College of Charleston. However, peace in her family never happens with her father's sailing blood. As an attempt to grow closer to his little girl, he takes her out on the family's Laser, the Oceania, on a rainy day that mimics a special one nineteen years earlier.

When the Oceania flips and leaves father and daughter stranded in the Atlantic Ocean, they must work together to return to shore, without the buff lifeguard girls running out to rescue them. Teuila has to see past her father's sailing personality and find the one she grew up with, before she and her parents ran aground in the Charleston Harbor.

With the help of the current, love, and just a little bit of imagination, Teuila and her dad's fight for survival becomes nothing more than a mere Disney Channel movie. Not only that, but Teuila learns a secret-the truth behind why she carries such an unusual name.

A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war.... more>>

The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something.

In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.
