Nicholas Fraye is a broken man trying to pick up the pieces of his life after everything fell apart years ago. Everything happened during what came to be known as The Cataclysm. Fate dealt him...fuck. Dealt ME a shitty hand. What I had to do in order to stop it still haunts me to this day, along with something...more. Damn it, I don't want to get into this now. I need a damn drink...
-----... more>>

Author Description: This story is about Nicholas Fraye, otherwise known as Osran...though you wouldn’t want to say that to his face, and how he is coming to the end of a very long journey. He is a man whose psyche has slightly broken from what happened to him and his family. With his son in a coma and his wife lost to death, he attempts to repair what was lost and taken from him. It is a mix of first person/third person when the perspective is on him, and third person for every other perspective.

This is romance with obsession. Though the romance may take a bit. Focusing more on the drama and action to start. There is going to be slight harem (atm, three love interests...technically). If that isn't your thing, that's alright. Just know what you're getting into. It won't be a long story like my others...or at least that's the plan. I will update as I can, as I have other stories I'm writing as well, but am releasing a few of these chapters first. Thank you for your understanding.

This is set in an alternate Earth with a slightly altered history. Horizon is what you know as New York City, but from its landscape to the boroughs, everything is different. Beyond the veil of mortal perception lays the truth to reality. The Faelands.

I use several creatures from mythology with some of my own twists on them. There is also a few fourth wall breaks due to Nick knowing about this world due to his power and connection with reality. Though this is not Deadpool level. It's just being aware of other worlds.
-----
CHAPTER SIZE: I usually try to make shorter chapters in my previous stories (Love & Obsession and Cyber Heart), but in this I try for slightly longer chapters. About 3000-4500 words. Sometimes more, sometimes maybe a little less. Buckle in. Longest chapter so far is, I think, 5000 or so words.

TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide is talked about and shown a bit in this story due to what Nick has gone through and his own attempts to take his life. Be warned and be careful. Just remember, you're loved even if you don't know it or believe it. Even if I don't know you, I'm glad you're still around. <3

EXTRA: This story was partially inspired by a few songs. “Runnin” by Adam Lambert, “King” by Lauren Aquilina, and “Hard to Kill” by Beth Crowley. I recommend listening to them as you read the story. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Thank you for taking the time to read. ^_^ <<less

Nothing compares to a leisurely nighttime stroll, surrounded by a peaceful ambiance. It's around half past seven in the evening when I, Reza Arkan, found myself venturing out under the cloak of darkness. My destination? The forest that embraced the edges of my hometown. I knew some people might have strange notions about a first-year high school student wandering into the woods at night, but I promised myself that my intentions are entirely innocent.... more>>

Meanwhile, my name is Hana Binatha, a high school girl who recently relocated to this unfamiliar town. Little did I anticipate that this move would set in motion a series of events that would reshape my life. It all began on that remarkable night when I crossed paths with a boy, perched amidst the majestic allure of a dark forest, his gaze transfixed on a city adorned with a myriad of sparkling city lights.

My existence is on the verge of transformation, but what lay ahead? How would this encounter color the canvas of my future?

This is the story of two individuals who share a deep passion for fireworks and navigate the ups and downs of their everyday lives. As their destinies intertwine in unexpected ways. <<less

By inviting you here, they cursed everyone.

Ranma, having lost the Phoenix Pill and being all but trapped in his feminine form, leaves the Tendo Dojo in search of a "normal" life. With the Full Body Cat's Tongue rendering them unable to take a hit and putting martial arts largely out of her life, Ranma needs a new career path, too. After spending a few months homeless in Tokyo, Ranma ends up getting a job in a bar run by a found family consisting of the owner and four hard-luck girls that work there and now live as sisters. At the Phoenix, Ranma finds a place where she can be accepted and "normal," learns to deal with the trauma she's experienced and... more>> finds acceptance with her new family. As she does so, she also learns to live as a young woman, discovering a new talent and potential career as a singer.

Vincent and Gwenevere are two people born in the world of Altha. A land of sword and magic. A place of wonder. Only, when they were children, that wonder was lost. Ripped from each other's lives, they were forced into the cruel reality of the world. Or rather, that of the Vossen Empire.... more>>

Gwenevere "Gwen" Vossen-Stone, Second Imperial Princess of the Vossen Empire could not be seen playing with Vincent Redwood, a common child born to a simple soldier. For two years, they played while his father guarded the Palace. Their relationship hidden until one unlucky day. The Imperial Princess of the Empire playing with a commoner? That couldn't happen.

Torn from each other, their lives diverged into different paths. Only reuniting 12 years later in what could only be described as fate. However, while Gwen never forgot her precious friend, Vincent was not what he was before. Gwen vowed to become stronger in order to never have anything taken from her again and to protect her friend once she reunited with him. That day was today.
-----

Come along for the story of the Princess, nicknamed "Prince" for her more masculine and tomboyish nature, and the Mage, often attributed to a doll for his more feminine and androgynous appearance making him quite pretty and beautiful. They are complete opposites in appearance, but their hearts are twinned together in fate. They just don't know it yet.

This, like Fae King's Desperation (another of my stories), is planned to not be as long as Cyber Heart or Love & Obsession, but we'll see how it goes. The romance between the two main characters doesn't happen in the first several chapters. It builds up as they discover that their feelings are more than just friendship. Once they realize it, the romance will go quicker.

There are power struggles and conflict between Gwen and the other Nobles and Royalty, but most are handled quickly due to Gwen's preparation in the last twelve years. If you're not a fan of conflicts being resolved relatively easily, then this story isn't for you. It will focus mainly on the slice of life aspects of the main characters and eventual romance, with a dash of rebellion on the side.

I hope you enjoy and thank you for coming along for the ride! <3 ^_^ I will update chapters as I am able, as I'm working on three stories simultaneously. This, Fae King's Desperation, and Regressor's Lover.

TRIGGER WARNING: There are talks and descriptions of abuse in this story. Bordering on the sexual. While the overall vibe I try and give this story is mostly fluff, tread carefully. This is a mature story.

SMUT INFO: This story will not be like my others. There will be love scenes in future chapters, but they will be more on the fluffy side rather than the hardcore descriptions I've given before. So, I'm unsure if this should be labeled as smut or not. For now, it's not, but once those chapters are released, if you want me to add the genre because you think it is considered smut, I will. <<less

"My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life."... more>>

Hector shrugged. “Did you have another destination in mind?”

“Not a city?” I suggested without much hope.

I scowled up at the massive redwoods like they had personally offended me. “Cities don’t deserve trees.”
