Mirk has lost everything: his noble family, his home, and nearly his life. All he has left is his grandfather’s staff and the K’maneda, the strange band of foreign mercenaries who saved him. He decides to build a new life among them in their wandering City of Glass, dedicating himself to healing the outcast and forgotten men who did everything to protect him. Providence makes no mistakes. And to live is to serve.... more>>

Genesis is an expert at three things: binding magic, assassination, and cleaning potions. Everything else is a mystery to him, especially people. Which is a crucial shortcoming, considering his ambition is to launch an insurrection against the corrupt mages who have warped the K’maneda into a machine designed to grind up the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. He will never be free; his nature is destruction. Since he can’t escape it, he will use it to liberate those who aren’t bound to obey.

They’re an unexpected team: the unrelenting and inhumanly powerful Destroyer and the kindly healer with the right lineage and a knack for putting the right people in the right places. But will it be enough to ensure the revolution prevails? And is there more to their relationship beyond a mutually beneficial alliance?

Featuring: Slowest of slow-burns, grumpy x sunshine, size difference to the max, perpetual hurt/comfort, and a whole lotta bed sharing. HEA guaranteed...eventually. <<less

I have seen the end of the world.
Even if I am broken and covered in curses, I will change it.

In my high-school there are two major unspoken rules: ... more>>

the first unspoken rule is to never mess with Mr. James, one of the school math teachers. It is rumored that he used to be an underground boxer who simply got into teaching after getting tired of beating people. A jacked guy that is actually smart? No thank you, I'm not messing with that.

The second unspoken rule is that you never mess with the Grace family. On the third day of high-school I managed to break that rule.

You see, on the third day of high-school I was stopped by pretty bitch and her jock friends who were probably just looking to get off bullying someone less popular than them. As usual I didn't take any of that and lets just say I embarrassed them pretty good. unfortunately for me that bitch happened to be Melissa Grace, the niece of the principle and someone I shouldn't have messed with.
Since I'm on a scholarship I cant exactly fight back without the risk of being expelled so ever since then I have been getting bullied daily without being able to do anything but fighting back with words. That is until I got a bizarre chance to fight back. <<less

Rose Dominius is a normal girl(?) apart from the fact that she is very smart. Due to his good genetics and privileged upbringing, his first... more>> weapon was just that. Not even her mother was suspicious of the secrets she was hiding. Speaking of secrets, upon entering the prestigated and eccentric lotus academy she inherited not only Zoe Dominius' goal, but also her Soul Stone. Well, after all that I think it's time for her to accept fate and finally enter the war she ignored for 10 years. Of course, she's not a woman who decided to take a bus walking. <<less

Imagine a world where Words really do have power, and Curses are something to strive towards. As long as you work hard enough, anyone can become a superhuman monster. Assuming you’re willing to pay the price.... more>>

Warning: This story is actually pretty SFW in my opinion, but apparently things like violence and gore are NSFW? It really depends on the site. This one doesn't seem to be that strict about it. If you're expecting a lot of sex scenes and cursing, this story probably isn't for you. I know, the name of the story is The Cursed Words, but unless the word 'shit' is extremely offensive to you, I don't think it qualifies as cursing. However, there are a lot of mature themes. When it comes to the Genre, the story is pretty Tragic, but I wouldn't call it a 'Tragedy'. Anyway, I also had no idea what I was doing with the Tags.

I posted a lot more on AO3 since I don't really use Scribblehub: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51591409/chapters/130402264 <<less

Lilith Von Allistar has a singular goal she pursues with the fervor of a mad scientist. Immortality. She wants to see the end of the world as she knows it. See what the end of all humanity is like. She wants to see civilizations rise and fall with the times. ... more>>

Most of all she wants to see humans develop. Ever since she was a child she always wanted to know what it would be like at the end of the human race. Will they become deities? Creating their own universes and controlling the power of the sun with metal spheres like some of the history books attest they could.

Will humanity crash and burn before the finish line? If so how and why? Before everything is destroyed, Lilith wants to learn everything the world has to offer.

She wants to learn every skill, have every experience at least once and ideally interact with all the greatest figures of humanity. For that reason Lilith cannot die. She refuses to die.

Yet now she finds herself embroiled in a succession dispute between her siblings. Their fight over some gaudy chair is enough to endanger her life and that's too important to lose.

Yet Lilith finds herself in a pool of her own blood soon after the conflict starts. She was weak. Born with the curse of albinism Lilith can do nothing as she is murdered.

Lilith wasn't satisfied yet. She still needed to survive. She claws and scrapes at the floor leaving bloody hand-prints in her wake as she desperately tries to think of a solution. Any solution will do. She doesn't care what she has to become. She will see everything this world has to offer.

Which is when she's given a second chance. Upon her death she is contacted by Cognitionis a supposed sub-routine of some system. It notifies her and the rest of humanity that the isekAI project has finally begun to enter it's final stages.

Lilith is reborn as everything she wanted to be. Now she's strong, she's immortal and she's the progenitor of vampires. Lilith soon realizes she will need all the helpers she can get. She doesn't mind sharing immortality so long as she gets to see it all herself.

These new instincts though. Blood being the most delectable meal she ever ate and having the smell of a 5 star restaurant is fine by her. Why is her vampire side so arrogant and prideful though? What happened to never spending on vanity? Why is bowing her way out of a situation suddenly not an option? Lilith never cared about appearances or pride or 'the good of the race'. Why is she now forced to consider such things when they make staying out of trouble remarkably more difficult?

Even as a walking corpse Lilith can't just peacefully watch the world progress. The succession conflict is far from over, new forces are emerging and Lilith is apparently one of them. She'd do anything to survive yet her instincts tell her she should never bow to anyone, make a show of how powerful she is and spread her kind across the world like a plague.

She must now protect her immortal life, appease these new instincts and make sure she doesn't miss important events along humanity's journey. She doesn't want to be too distracted or this will have all been for naught. <<less

A beautiful queer romance featuring bisexual and non-binary lead characters. ... more>>

Welcome to the serial Lyra's Magnum Opus. The entirety will be uploaded here.

Summary:

Sana and Tetsu are musicians in Tokyo. One day, they meet over social media and their lives are changed forever. A love begins to form, and as they get closer, a secret is slowly being uncovered about Sana by Tetsu. It's a secret that Sana's band Lyra is desperate for no one to know. The secret is that Sana is very sick, and has been for a long time. When Tetsu finds out, he only loves him even more. When Sana's illness causes him to have a heart attack soon into their relationship, everyone's world is upended. He becomes gravely ill, and his long time doctor reveals to them all that his illness is and always was terminal. When Tetsu vows to take care of him no matter what, he shocks his family and friends. This is the story of that devotion between them. It is a story about family, friends, music, dance, food, tradition, and powerful love.

The story follows Lyra through the Japanese music industry. From their struggles as independent musicians in visual kei and admiring others who have "made it", to them "making it" as evolving jazz musicians and the problems and joys that go with it. As Sana gets steadily worse as time goes on, Tetsu's love for him only grows. The future is bright, but also scary. Other band members chime in with their own narratives, their stories richly told. The world of Lyra is vast, so much to tell. A large, incredible journey. The story of that journey, of loving Sana and supporting him, is Lyra's magnum opus: their greatest triumph as a band.

As the story goes on, LGBTQ issues are also explored. Tetsu is a traditional Japanese performer called an "onnagata". He struggles with stereotypes and his own journey as a non-binary person. There's Sana's own struggle with living as a stealth transgender man in an industry where's there's eyes and rumors everywhere. There's bisexual erasure, even by close friends and family. There's the problems and expectations with often conservative Japanese culture and LGBTQ issues.

Through it all, there's Sana's journey through the Japanese medical system. His treatment and medical issues are explored, as well as how the medical system treats Tetsu as his husband.

It's a long story, but if you stick with it you will love it. Will you join us?

Author's note:

Currently in the late 300's in chapters. Btw, if you like the manga/anime Nana this is for you. Same kind of maturity in writing, themes, etc. It's just also got LGBTQ characters. It also reminds me of the Japanese drama 1 Litre of Tears. There's definitely comedy as well, but it's going to make you cry. I've been writing LGBTQ stories for over 20 years. It gets good, promise.

Btw, I'm not sure this is "boys love". Hmm. It features a transgender male character who is pretty androgynous in gender identity. Then there's the other, who is AMAB and on a non-binary journey, but still prefers male pronouns at the moment. So, what is this? You decide.

Will upload one chapter per day unless people get impatient, because you know, I've got a backlog of over 300 chapters. It grows constantly. Will you ever get to what I'm currently writing? <<less

[I was reincarnated in a fantasy world as the manifestation of absolute void — the Black Knight, and my goal is to return the destitute, sickly, youngest-born princess, who is kind of a loser, to her throne because it beats doing nothing]
_________________________
War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of the nation beneath the glow of strange starlight. Emptiness fills the eyes of people everywhere as their faces become as hard as the loveless hearts hidden within them. Those who are not involved in the war effort can only do their best to survive on the fringes for the time being.... more>>

One of these people is the exiled, youngest princess of the nation, the ill Acacia Odofredus Krone, who lives forgotten in destitute squalor as an abject failure, being not even capable enough to become a low ranking adventurer. An equally lost soul, reborn from another world, suddenly finds himself reincarnated at her side as the powerful manifestation of a creature of old prophecy; der Schwarze Ritter — the Black Knight.

Together, faced with the pressures of the horrific war, dire poverty, Acacia’s fatal sickness, and the looming threat of her noble bloodline hanging heavy over them, the two of them are forced onto a journey to find a way to live together, fighting their way out from the lowest shadows of forgottenhood in order to reach the pinnacle of either of their dreams — a life that feels like anything more than total emptiness.

For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive.... more>>

While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish.

It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own.
