The Mook Maker
There are many possible fates that can await those whisked away from our world to another.
Some became heroes or villains, given the right power to forge their own destinies as they wished.
Others, the powerless, became victims, doomed to perish, at the mercy of the cruel world filled with mystical powers they are unprepared for. A lone man who woke up alone under the alien sky was neither of those.
He didn't get to choose what he was going to become - a disaster, an unwilling source of intelligent, yet violent monsters, rapidly rising in numbers. Stranded in a foreign land, without even knowing the language, forever locked in the unending cycle of violence he neither wishes for nor can escape from. His creations may be the only company he would ever find.
The man wasn’t powerless.
But was he really that much better off? It just took one wrong power.
Latch On Me
"...Plato spoke of the original humans as creatures with two heads, two pairs of hands and feet. Monstrous creatures, correct? Monstrous enough to make the God of Gods tremble in fear. He couldn’t have that, so Zeus with a single thunderbolt split them in two, forcing them to spend a lifetime searching for their other half. Let’s say I found mine in Phillip. Phillip was me, and I was Phillip..."
Sweet Silence
Sage is a villain. Not by choice. It just sort of turned out that way, but hey, he's not complaining. Being bad is pretty cool, actually. And while by most people's standards his superpower is pretty lame - muting sound, of all things - he's found it pretty useful when robbing the rich.
Most heroes ignore him. Except one. Lich, the necromancer. Sage didn't know how talking to the dead was considered heroic, but whatever. That's not the problem. The problem is that Lich apparently has a homing beacon locked on Sage specifically, and he keeps getting in Sage's way, despite most heroes not bothering to deal with the small-time villain committing petty theft.
It was annoying, but fine. Sage wasn't all that active in the villainy community anymore anyway. He had just turned thirty, and quite frankly, he was done with this shit. But still, he wanted to go out with a bang, so he planned his final heist: robbing the most powerful man in the city, the governor.
Except, when Sage broke into the governor's house all he found was the governor - dead as a doornail. What's worse is that for the first time in Sage's life, he was no longer invisible. He was found standing over the body, murder weapon in hand.
Now, the entire city of Fairview wants Sage dead, and the only person on earth who can clear his name is his very own necromancer nemesis. For how much they fight, Lich is surprisingly on board with helping Sage...
And so, the two embark on a quest to discover the real killer and clear Sage's name, but the trail leads them to discover some of Fairview's most well-kept and dangerous secrets...

Leading Lines
Marc's life can be described as anything but easy. Growing up in an orphanage ever since he was a baby, the young man witnessed many of his friends coming and going as new families were opening up their arms for them. Always left behind, he grew up to be somehow distant yet full of life, always looking forward for the light to shine. . . And that light was named Chris.
At the Bottom of the Stairwell
Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.
Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.
Also some Doms really hate being told no.

In the Arms of an Assassin
When Patricia Doyle goes to perform emergency surgery off-hospital, the last thing she expects is to find herself married to a world-renowned assassin by the end of the working day.
****
Patricia Doyle is obsessed with doing good. She's determined to prove to herself and the world that even the smallest good deeds make a difference, and it is her biggest motivation to become a surgeon. So when she's called to the scene of an accident to perform emergency procedure, she doesn't question it. But as soon as she hops in the ambulance, she begins to realize something is very off about the drop-dead gorgeous paramedic accompanying her. Except now it's too late.
As far as the FBI is concerned, the assassin known as Drake 'Manhunter' Sullivan is one of the deadliest hitmen to ever grace the Top Ten Wanted list. Known for his ungodly stealth, his astronomical rates, and his terrifying kill count, Drake has a reputation to uphold. But when things go wrong in a job, and a target who is needed to spill valuable information gets injured, Drake has no choice but to find a good doctor to keep him alive long enough to extract the information. Except the doctor he picks up from the hospital turns out to be the wrong one, and now he has no choice but to dispose of Patricia Doyle once the job is done.
Either that, or he can marry her. After all, the Sullivans don't touch family.
