Once upon a time, a witch wished for the perfect daughter - one who was beautiful, cunning, wicked, a master of magic...... more>>

But she never said that she wanted her to be cis.

Humiliated to hear after 12 years that her preciously raised "son" is actually a girl, the witch comes up with the most genius solution: to lock her in a tower until she "admits" that she's really a boy.

But when did trying to imprison an omnipotent malevolent entity ever end well for anyone?

Originally written for "Sappho’s Spinning Wheel: A Yuri Garden Anthology", "Petrosinella, the Perfect Witch's Daughter" is a witchy retelling of Basile's bawdy original fairytale, and a rowdy love letter to all those deliciously wicked witch's daughters we were told to despise as children.

This short story/borderline novella was created as a restricted exercise that I forced upon myself a few years back:
1) Only gave myself 2 hours to write each day across 7 days; 14 hours total to write, proofread, and edit.
2) Challenging myself to create a story with characters whose names aren't given (this was inspired by Mamare Touno's Maoyuu Maou Yuusha and written before Goblin Slayer was first fan-translated into English).

Contains: Oppai Loli, Bunny Girls, Bad Writing <<less

Remember taking all those trips with your parents and every time you got going, someone inevitably asks the question "are we there yet"? Yeah, this is nothing like that. This short story has everything that nobody wants!... more>>

Gods? Greek, Norse, Eldritch, you bet!
Mythology? In moderate amounts.
Jokes? So many you'll start to wonder where the actual story is!
Things so obscure to the average person that you might need to grab an encyclopedia? What kind of story would this be without those!
Romance? No, we've got everything else though, including the kitchen sink.
Poop throwing? You bet we do!
A protagonist that uses their mind? Absolutely not! I mean, they aren't even a living being, technically, and they certainly aren't biological in origin.

While this story is tagged as a gender bender, the protagonist is non-binary/gender fluid. What this means is that the pronoun usage is irrelevant in terms of telling the actual story. The pronoun choices made are simply a reflection of the isolated main character's perception of self based on its own understanding of the world, just as the individual inside Plato's cave, would have no understanding of being male or female.
This short story was also inspired by the Chinese novel "Journey to the West" (also known by the titles "Monkey" and "The Monkey King") credited as being written by Wu Cheng'en. <<less

Vildra is a simple dragon. All she wants to do is to dig out a nice little den where she can sleep through the winters. A home fit for someone like herself!

The only things she won't ignore are those centipedes that always seem to find a way in. If only they weren't so cute!... more>>

A sci-fi space adventure involving mysteries, aliens, and explorers terraforming planets. ... more>>

Trillion wasn’t expecting to have her mind uploaded into a spaceship today. But it happened and now there’s no turning back for her and three others.
The four of them now travel through space, looking for new worlds to terraform - looking to build A New Eden.
Their hasty departure meant they weren’t prepared for what they encountered out in space. They discovered mysteries they needed to solve. They entered battles they didn’t have a hope of winning. And, they needed to find creative solutions to problems they didn’t know were possible.

Should I read this book?:
YES. If you like a good sci-fi space adventure that’s a mix of action/mystery/thriller/science. No ‘lit-RPG’ here.

Books this is similar to.
Children of Time by Adrien Tchaikovsky
We are Legion (Bobiverse) by Dennis E. Taylor
Give me some suggestions of RR books it’s similar to.

Is the book finished?
Book 1 is fully written, so I’m dripping it out on Royal Road. I’m currently working on Book 2. <<less

A handful of disclaimers and claims by the Author:

First, this is fan fiction, set in the “Amaranthine Saga” universe written by Forthright. The story and characters, on the other hand, are wholly my own (fault). I highly encourage you to be familiar with the stories from the “Amaranthine Saga” before reading this; the latter half of this story will make a whole lot more sense if you do.

Second, this is a relatively short and stand-alone story. The completed story should clock in around 10,000 words, so please do not expect a novel, let alone a series.

Third, while this is a romantic story, I’ve never been a fan of the usual romance “misunderstanding” tropes. Think of this as more of a romantic slice-of-life story than an action or traditional romance story.

Finally, thank you for reading. :) <<less

Steel yourself with my first chapter, first time writing so....

Warning!
- Bad grammar as English is not my first language.
- I write this for fun, don't expect a plot.
- The slice of life tag is there for a reason.
- For those of you who want an action fanfiction of LOTM then this isn't your story. Ps: there will be an action, but don't expect it to be good.
- If you haven't read the novel proceed with caution.
- I got this idea from another fanfic of LOTM, you can read it on MTL. Ps: again, proceed with caution.
- The cover isn't mine. I stea–borrow it from Pinterest, so if the creator wants to take it down message me.
- Since I'm a newbie writer, I can't capture the characters perfectly, Including my OC.
- I own NOTHiNG except my OC.

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

Tamara Slaine: attorney, wife, Martian. She endures the crushing gravity of the ancestral homeworld and the gladhanding and bootlicking that comes of managing the money of the elite for the sake of her clients, whom she represents in the legalistic hell of the Accord's courts, and for her wife, Judy, who she privately keeps as a pet totally free of any responsibilities.... more>>

When the Affini come, Tam's world is utterly upended. Her struggle against the State, once all-but-impossible, is over. Now her only concern is assisting the Affini as they help her incarcerated clients adjust to a new reality, and adjusting herself to the new reality of her alien overlords also keeping humans as pets. She finds herself questioning what it means to be Tam, what it means to "own" her wife, and even what it means to be human.
