Myths have existed for as long as humanity has, to describe that which we could not understand, but almost all of these are told from the human (or some other outsider's) point of view. What if we looked at what the gods were doing, and only caught glimpses of what was happening below, in the world?... more>>

Here we have the tale of the gods, not of Earth, but of a new world, and how they find their own purpose, in the Game of the World.

This story is rather lighthearted, mostly me figuring out how to write characters, so there will be little worldbuilding, because, well... The gods will be doing that. ~æ

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less

#Murim #Romance #Action
On a fateful day, a boy and a girl cross-path in the depth of the forest. Lost and in need of shelter, the boy let her live with him in a wooden house built beside an ancient tree.... more>>

Years of harmony passed by and their bonds grew stronger than ever, regarding the other as their own family, perhaps, even closer than that. But everything, no matter good or bad, must come to an end.

On one evening, the teenage boy shared a startling discovery.
“Your brother… I found him”

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, her eyes quivered as the memories she had long suppressed and locked away began to haunt her once again.

The desire to send justice to the murderer of her father and mother. The one that cruelly killed them with the knife in his hand on the cold windy night. The one that chased her away tirelessly to the faraway land.

Her loving brother...

And on that evening, the two had a long and heavy discussion. The boy urged her to seek and exact her revenge.
“Then, how about you?”
“Sorry… but I can’t go with you,” he replied with a bittersweet smile.

In the end, the girl yielded and made up her mind to confront her brother. However, unbeknownst to her, something happened when the dawn finally arrived.

The boy… he was found missing.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a single clue to his whereabouts. The hint pointed directly at her brother.

And so she goes. As she cast one last glance at the ancient tree behind her, a flood of memories from her time with the boy overwhelmed her.
And yet, it only reaffirmed her conviction once again and powered herself to face the unknown future in front of her, leaving everything that she cherished before behind.

"Revolution is the people's will for a better tomorrow."... more>>

When the Animus crawled out from underneath Earth's crust, brave souls were granted godlike powers to fight them. Custodians: idols, soldiers, heroes, legends. Revered by the masses, shunned by the few, and conscripted to be the defenders of humanity against the Animus in an endless conflict. A life of misery, despair, loneliness, and heartache; such is the inexorable fate of a Custodian.

Elysia Hayes tries not to be discontent with her lot in life, but that's difficult when she's still reeling from the Animus Invasion that saw fit to ruin her. Now six months later, her family is shattered, her best friend won't give her the time of the day, and every day is a struggle to survive. The mundanity of her life is a disease. However, salvation comes in the form of a rogue Custodian skulking in an alleyway while carrying a missile launcher. What starts off as a desire to help someone quickly spirals out of control, and Elysia finds herself plunged into a completely different world. A decades-old conspiracy, grudges that run deep, and visitors from beyond the stars make the Animus the least of her worries.

Elysia thought that being a Custodian meant basking in the public's adoration and vanquishing evil, but she soon learns that evil comes in all different shapes and sizes. And sometimes, in order to cleanse the world, you have to get your hands dirty. Elysia wanted to be a hero, but first and foremost, she wanted to save people. Those two wishes aren't able to coexist.

What can a hero do in a world designed to breed evil? <<less
