Thrall of the Dark Wood
Young mother Ilse arrived in Forst village seven years ago with an infant in her arms and another little one on the way. Secretive about her previous life, most assumed Ilse to be an unwed harlot, driven from her home by her family’s shame. Ilse is especially tight-lipped about the most pressing question: who the father of her children is.
Ilse bore the burden of their rumors with ease, and for seven years lived in relative peace in a small house just outside of the Dark Wood – a forest that many believed was home to inhuman creatures. None but Ilse had ever dared to live that close, fearing that they would be lured into the Wood, never to return.
When Ilse and her children disappear, seemingly out of thin air, the village assumes the Dark Wood has claimed their lives. What they don’t know is that the father of Ilse’s children, who most assumed to be some nobody from Ilse’s home village, is actually much closer than they thought. He comes from the Dark Wood – and he wants his family back.

Not So Ordinary
This story revolves around the life of 4 different people:
Sara: a high schooler with a conservative personality who’s good at only one thing; studying, but she studies well only to maintain her reputation as “the genius one” with no aim in life. Till now when the SAT is just around the corner, she doesn’t know which path to take because nothing interests her.
Next comes the heartbreaker, Elijah: a college dropout, during his first year in college he changed his major 5 times and then finally left college; his father being a very laidback person wasn’t affected by his son’s antics. Now he’s 24 with a high school degree doing random jobs because he must support himself overall. His good looks get him all the girls, but he can’t stay with a girl longer than a month because after a month they start to get clingy, wanting attention whereas all he wants in a relationship is physical intimacy.
Then comes Charlotte: age 33, a doctor, she had spent all her 20s paying her student loans but is still in debt because of his father’s health condition. Because of this reason, all man who approaches her run away; no one wants a woman whose 70% pay is used to pay off her debt monthly. So, she’s called “The pitiful doctor/spinster” by her relatives.
And in the end, comes Mr. William: a schoolteacher, who had been teaching the same subject at the same school for the past 10 years. He’s a very intellectual person and could do much better with his life but one thing that he had never done is to take a risk, although his monotonous routine bores him still he keeps living the same repetitive life.
These 4 people who are living in different worlds have something in common, their lives are repetitive with no challenges_ in simple words they are ORDINARY.
These 4 Ordinary people don’t know what is waiting for them, entangled in a world of murder, crime, trafficking, mafias, politics, and everything bad; wait and see how their lives will get connected.
The Little Thief || MxM || Omegaverse
Maybe finding a true mate isn’t always love at first sight.
*****
An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can’t pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but maybe the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they’re not true mates.
And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over.
At least there’s a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he’d find, but he’s kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so even though this one isn’t his true mate, he decides to give him a chance.
But maybe it doesn’t always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it – if you give it an opportunity to grow.

I'll Burn With You
[ A VERY Slow-Burn, Coming-of-Age LGBT+ Historical Romance about the Messiness of Life, Finding Home, and Yourself]
When Benjamin Price applies for the Hutchinson Academic Scholarship, he doesn't expect anything from it, a hopeless attempt to better himself. His life is in his town of Durmont - quiet, little Durmont - whether he wants it or not. Despite his hopes of escaping, he doesn't believe his abusive father will let him.
When John "Jack" Byrd Jr. finally pushes his father's patience to the limit, he's tasked with picking the recipients of the academic scholarship; he does so with angry ambivalence for having his wings clipped. His home in the city of Allisport - metropolitan, ever-building Allisport - is too small. He wants to see the world, unable to let the suffocation of expectations take him.
Neither of them expected their decisions to make their world burn.

Linked By Ink
Riley:
When I was eighteen I made a huge mistake. Part of that error was a friendship tattoo that would link him and me together. That tattoo is a symbol of the worst wrong I made. Just simply looking at it is a reminder of what not to let ever happen again. I turned my pain into something positive. I went to college for art and created my own tattoo studio Linked By Ink. I'm now famous for friendship tattoos. I used my negative to build something positive from it. Now I have my own tv show. I travel across the world meeting people who want a friendship tattoo and hearing their stories. If I like their story and feel the relationship is positive I give them a tattoo.
Lucas:
When I was nineteen I made a huge mistake. The only part that wasn't a full failure was the time we spent together and the tattoo I got with her. The tattoo is a reminder of what I lost from my wrongs. My tattoo is a symbol of her and wanting to find her again. I want her back in my life. I've hired many private investigators and not one has found her. I turned the negative I did into something positive. I wrote all my songs about her. Every song was an award won, some Grammy's, and every award won was a new tattoo I got in honor of her. I traveled across the world meeting people whom my songs and story have inspired.
