Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

On a storm-lashed night in 1805, an orphaned infant is brought to De Montfort Duchy and claimed as one of its own. Raised among four brothers in one of England’s most powerful noble houses, Sophia de Montfort grows from cherished child into a young woman of rare beauty, wit, and quiet strength. By the time she reaches society, she is everything the marriage market desires—graceful, spirited, and the daughter of a great estate. Suitors circle. Alliances are whispered. Futures are negotiated in drawing rooms and candlelit corridors. Sophia, believing in love, sets her heart where it chooses—unaware of the deeper currents moving beneath the surface. For Laurence, the Duke of De Montfort and her not-by-blood brother, devotion has always been simple: protect her, provide for her, ensure her happiness. Yet as she steps into womanhood and toward marriage, that devotion becomes far more dangerous—and far more difficult to contain. While Sophia navigates the trials of love, reputation, expectation, and betrayal, she remains unaware that the fiercest heart in the room beats not among her suitors… but beside her. A sweeping Regency drama of desire, loyalty, and forbidden longing, this is the story of a woman every man wants—and the one man who must never claim her.

The world ended not with a bang, but with a scream. Years after the outbreak turned cities into graveyards and people into shrieking monsters, survival is a daily negotiation with death. Dylan Pierce doesn’t do hope—he does silence, steel, and the next supply run. But when he’s saved by a strange woman from the ocean, everything changes. In a world where trust is fragile and time is running out, what’s more dangerous: the monsters outside, or the truth within? (also available on Wattpad & Scribble Hub)

Hide-and-seek was always Hashida Kiyonari's favorite childhood game. But even as an adult, he never really stopped playing it—only now, he was hiding much bigger secrets. Kiyonari, also known as Soo Kihyun, had just been appointed secretary to the chairman's grandson, executive director Je Soo-hyun—the company's most admired yet most feared boss. Soo-hyun was renowned not only for his striking beauty as on omega but also for his sharp, uncompromising leadership. To Kiyonari, however, his new boss seemed to harbor nothing but disdain. Errand after errand piled on his shoulders, and the work grew increasingly demanding. Yet none of that compared to the weight of the truth he carried: Kiyonari was an alpha living under the disguise of a beta, a secret he couldn't afford to let anyone—colleagues, or even family—discover. Except to his childhood best friend, who had known since before. But one slip was all it took. In a moment of carelessness, his body betrayed him as he fell into a sudden rut. The reaction it triggered in Soo-hyun was the very scenario both of them had worked hard to avoid—sending the omega into heat. And yet, what followed was not hatred, no regrets. But something far more big for Soo-hyun.

Mario De Cruze is the "Ghost King" of Chicago, a ruthless billionaire and mafia boss driven by a singular childhood trauma: the massacre of his orphanage at the hands of the Red Blood (the Sanchez family). Unknown to Mario, he is actually Pablo Sanchez, the lost second son of the very monsters he seeks to destroy—sold into trafficking by the De Silva family to secure their own power. His cold world is disrupted by Desderia Davids, a brilliant, struggling law student working three jobs to survive. Desderia is fueled by her own quest for justice for her murdered best friend, Alice, unaware that Alice was a spy caught in the crossfire of Mario’s war. When Mario and Desderia collide, an intense, forbidden romance blooms. As they peel back the layers of a 20-year-old conspiracy, the truth emerges: Mario is a Sanchez, and his biological brother, Martin, was the one who ordered the orphanage fire. The tragedy culminates in a brutal siege at a limestone quarry. Realizing that their five-year-old daughter, Sabrina, will never be safe as long as the Sanchez legacy exists, Mario and Desderia make the ultimate sacrifice. They trigger a massive explosion, burying themselves and the core of the Sanchez leadership under a million tons of rock to ensure their daughter’s escape. Mario’s sister, Secilia, flees into the night with the young Sabrina, disappearing into the shadows of Europe. Eighteen years after the fire and stone of the limestone quarry claimed her childhood, Sabrina De Cruze daughter of Mario De Cruze and Desderia David's, returns to the rain-slicked streets of Chicago. She is no longer the "Scholar" her mother, Desderia, tried to protect; she is a phantom forged in exile. Under the alias Sasha De Clare, she secures a high-level position at Sterling & Vane, the elite law firm that serves as the legal backbone for the New Red Blood Syndicate.

In the heart of Stillwood Hollow, the ley lines are no longer humming; they are hemorrhaging. A "thinning of the veils" has allowed a mundane reality to infect the magical realm, spreading like a gangrenous rot that turns lush forests into petrified husks. This is not a mere change in the seasons-it is a systematic unraveling of the cosmic tapestry. Enter Morwen Stonemoss. A Satyr of "morbid elegance," she is the sole Sentinel of her kind, a "Lament-Keeper" uniquely attuned to the earth's spasm of agony. But Morwen carries a secret darker than the blight itself. Deep within her resides the Bacchic Ravager, a primal entity of anti-creation and ultimate chaos that whispers of a "delicious surrender". The Ravager doesn't want to save the world; it wants to shatter it, promising that true freedom only exists in the "infinite freedom of the void". Morwen is not alone in this waking nightmare. She is tethered to a fractured fellowship. Together, they must hunt the source of the breaches-a cult devoted to a being of anti-creation, whose rituals are "perverse blood-keys" used to dissolve innocent souls into raw, corrupted energy. As the blight rises and the sky itself begins to fray, Morwen must decide: Will she heal the world's wounds, or will she become the predator she was meant to be, setting her friends free through a "final, exquisite act of annihilation"? Step into the laboratory of the unmaking. The ritual has already begun.

Anatomy of Silence A Literary Novel There are people who live at the edges of their own lives—not because they choose to, but because the world does not always make room. Andini Lestari has mastered the art of restraint. Hope, to her, is a fragile architecture—one that stretches the distance between desire and disappointment. Silence has always been her safest refuge. Fani Pratiwi knows what it means to be quietly overlooked. Moving through the world in a body others perceive as inconvenience, she has learned to make herself smaller, softer, easier to ignore. Their paths cross in the unremarkable hours of campus life—in the hush of late afternoon rain, in shared glances across lecture halls, in conversations that feel heavier than they appear. What begins as cautious proximity slowly deepens into something neither of them knows how to name. There are no promises between them. No dramatic declarations. Only the quiet recognition of being seen. But when the fragile sanctuary they build together begins to fracture under the weight of indifference and institutional hypocrisy, silence itself becomes a choice—one that demands a cost. Anatomy of Silence is not a story about grand revolutions. It is about the invisible battles fought in ordinary rooms. About the quiet courage required to remain present in a world that insists on invisibility. Because for some, survival is not loud. It is deliberate. And it is brave.

I watched as Dad looked at me with some kind of angered expression, as usual he believes her.  " Fiona, how many times do i have to tell you to have some respect for my wife? Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother. Why do you always side with her? Can't you see the way she's treating me"?  "Enough Fiona"!!! "You promised mom that you'd always love me and take care of me, but I'm a slave in my own father's house"!! "Hey, don't try to manipulate my husband, what you did was wrong and you expect me not to caution you? Go to your room" I just watched as Dad expression fell, she was manipulating him and turning him against his own daughter.  "You heard her Fiona, go to your room".

Adrian Vale was supposed to have it all—a billion-dollar empire, a bride who loved him, and a legacy carved in his name. He was kind, trusting, and believed loyalty meant something. Until he was betrayed and lost everything on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of his life. Adrian stood at the altar and watched his fiancée walk into his brother’s arms, the same brother who stole his birthright in front of everyone, and from that day on, the gentle heir died. What emerged was a man forged in ice and fury. Years later, Adrian rebuilt himself into something far more powerful than what was stolen from him. He became the predator in every boardroom, the nightmare his enemies whispered about, and the man who trusted no one and needed nothing. His life was perfectly controlled, he was cold, calculating, and completely alone, with no weakness, or love, and he stop giving people second chances. Then Elena Marlowe walked into his world. She had warm eyes that saw past his walls, a genuine smile that made him feel almost human again, and an innocence that didn’t belong anywhere near a man like him. She didn’t run when he pushed her away. She didn’t break when he was cruel. What Adrian doesn’t know? Elena was sent to destroy him. Planted by his enemies to become his weakness, to slip past every defense he’d built, to make him feel again—so they could rip it all away. And what Elena doesn’t know? She’s the weapon. And she has no idea she’s being used. When the man who vowed never to love again meets the woman designed to break him, the line between revenge and redemption begins to blur. He starts feeling things he swore he’d buried forever. She starts seeing the wounded man beneath the monster. But when the truth comes out—when Adrian discovers the one person who made him believe in love again was sent to ruin him—will he become the villain everyone feared? Or will she be the only one who can save them both? In a world built on betrayal, can two broken people find something worth fighting for?

Lin Yushu never had to try very hard at anything. Not because life was easy. But because she was just — built that way. Sharp mind. Warm heart. The kind of person who figures things out before most people have finished asking the question. Languages. Blueprints. People. She reads all of them the same way — naturally, almost without trying. At seventeen she walks into a military world with nothing but herself. That turns out to be enough. What she finds there isn't simple or straightforward. It never is when you are someone like her. There are people who underestimate her. People who don't. A career that grows the way she does — steadily, quietly, on no one's terms but her own. Moments that test her in ways she didn't expect. Relationships that matter more than she anticipated. Loss too. That comes as well. And then — somewhere between one chapter of her life and the next — a man from a completely different world who doesn't quite fit any category she had prepared for. His Regiment, Her Journey is about one woman's life. The remarkable parts and the ordinary ones. About purpose found in unexpected corners. About love that arrives without announcing itself. About what it looks like when someone refuses to be anything other than exactly who they are — for four hundred chapters, through everything life puts in front of them. She didn't set out to leave a mark. But then — she never really had to try.

Though she doesn’t know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry. But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed. With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time… no one will touch the boy without facing her. After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived… than the Scarlet Witch herself? Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
