    Summary

    After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tessira and Astarion attempt normalcy. But can a once-renowned courtesan of Baldur’s Gate and a traumatised vampire spawn ever truly escape the demons of their past?

    When a new vampire seizes Szarr Palace, it brings something the couple only dared to hope for - a way for Astarion to walk in the sun.

    Using the skills she honed at Sharess’ Caress, Tessira makes a play for the artefact, stepping once more into the role of courtesan… until everything goes awry.

    Imprisoned far from Astarion, Tessira discovers she is pregnant with his child, and with it, the terrifying realisation of just how far Astarion would go to reclaim what is his. Because some devotions do not fade with distance. They sharpen.

    “I am no hero, Tessira. No angel sent to save you. I am a creature carved from shadows and sins – and yet, I would bare every inch of myself for you."

    Summary

    “A plug Bradley? You really are a slut,” Tank tutted.

    “Fuck you,” Bradley grit his teeth bowing his head feeling at how his rim caught on the plug as it was pulled out slowly. Before suddenly being pushed back in making him squeak.

    It never used to be this way. Once upon a time they were actually pleasant to one another.

    That time was over.

    Summary

    And one night, one sparkling enchanting fairytale of a night, they each got what they wanted.

    But not everything goes to plan.

    Summary

    There was something sacred about not naming it. About staying in the dark, beneath masks, with only sensation left between them.
    And she thought:
    If this is the only night…
    if I never know his name, never see his face…

    Summary

    Alphard Black had never believed in the necessity of soulmates. He was content to live with a world without color, without fate dictating who he should love or become.

    He couldn't miss something he had never experienced. He didn't need his soulmate or colors to begin living.

    But desire had never been a question of need, but of wanting.

    Summary

    It starts with a hidden hunt between Sett and Jhin that's more than just murderous intent. As each one seeks to know if the other is more than an enemy, both get swept up in an underground plot between Ionia and Noxus that also wraps others in its web, including Sylas, and Noxus brothers Darius and Draven. Dark romance and eldritch mystery.

    I want this story to be like those painting exercises with just one color - pain. Suffering has many purposes here - exciting, traumatic, loving, cathartic, self-destructive, healing - the undercurrent is always pain. In other words, whump in many forms will ensue - physical, psychological, magical, mundane, with comfort or without…. I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Long ago when European royals grew bored with palace balls they took a page from the peons and added some pageantry. Couture and canapé are just another Saturday night until you add a mask. But preparing for a ball is an event in itself, which is why queens invented handmaidens.

    In the glittering, vicious court of King Robert and Queen Cersei—the only two faces bare at their legendary masquerade—everyone is someone else behind silk and jewels. For Sansa Stark, nineteen and dreaming of true love, the mask is a chance to escape the girl who once threw wildflowers at the kingdom’s most notorious rake. For Ser Jaime Lannister, ten years her senior and already bored, it’s a game to stave off the endless tedium of privilege.

    They are enemies by name, houses divided by old thorns.

    This is a story of thorns and silk, of masks and truths, of a love affair forged in secrecy and nearly shattered by a bitter past. With a “Gossip Girl” voice whispering the sharpest scandals, the lavish aesthetics of “Bridgerton,” the doomed glamour of Marie Antoinette, and the raw youth of “Young Royals,” follow a cast of lovers and schemers through the dangerous hearts of those who rule them.
