    Summary

    "I think, kitten, that you've known boys. I think you've known boys you could wrap around your little finger. Boys who were so dazzled by your pretty face they'd do anything you asked. I think you've never met a man in your life."

    She opens her mouth to deny it, to protest, but the words die in her throat. Because he is right. Every boy she has ever been with has been pliant, easily managed, their desires as transparent as glass. None of them were men like him. None of them were Sylus Corvino.

    "I'm not one of your boys, Kitty," he continues, walking toward the massive mahogany desk. He sinks into the plush leather chair. "And you'd do well to remember that."

    "And I'm not one of those brainless, simpering girls you've got falling all over you downstairs," she shoots back, her chin held high. "Those cheap tramps who would drop their drawers for you if you so much as looked their way. You'd do well to remember that."

    OR

    Runaway high-society heiress Catherine "Kitty" Vance escapes an arranged marriage only to fall into the lap of debonaire speakeasy owner and all-around gangster, Sylus Corvino.

    Summary

    It started with smoke, and a voice that made the panic go quiet. A firefighter who carries her out of the flames — and goes back in for her kitten. She just wanted to rebuild. Find somewhere new. Keep her kitten and herself safe. She didn’t expect him. She didn’t expect any of this. But the best things don’t always ask for permission. And falling in love, as it turns out, is no exception.

    Summary

    You are the lighthouse keeper - immortal so long as you never abandon your post on the drifting island that passes between Philos above and Lemuria below every seventy-seven years.

    Nothing and no one is able to breach the wards. Or so you thought.

    Rafayel crashes through first - furious, gorgeous, covered in the blood of men who hunted him for his scales and the immortality his kind's blood is said to grant.
    Xavier follows hours later - a Philosian crown prince tracking the same men, crashing through your broken wards like a falling star.
    They hate each other immediately.

    They're both armed, both powerful, both stuck - and you're the lighthouse keeper they now rely on to survive the next sixty days.
    As mercenaries search for the breach, and the island itself begins to whisper, the only thing they agree on is keeping you alive.

    Summary

    The ocean gives up one of its oldest secrets—and the Lemuria Institute calls it a specimen.

    Mira Calder calls him Rafayel.

    He is proud, furious, breathtaking, and far too intelligent for the tank they’ve placed him in. Their first encounters are all teeth and defiance, but somewhere between the experiments, the shattered glass, and the fragile attempts at communication, Mira finds the beginnings of a bond she never expected.

    And Rafayel, king of the abyss, finds a reason to look at a surface-dweller without hatred.

    A slow descent into discovery, danger, and a connection that might drown them both.

    Summary

    You start losing six hours at a time.

    You wake warm, fed, wrapped in blankets you don’t own - with sketches of a draconic man in your notebook you definitely don't always remember drawing.

    Your kidnapper is polite, strangely gentle, fond of sushi, and apparently the last living dragon.

    He doesn’t speak. He just brings you to a nest of pillows and treasure, holds you like something precious, and then returns you home with cash in your pocket and your hair inexplicably brushed.

    You should be terrified.
    You’re… not.

    And when you finally wake up in his arms - truly awake - with his tail curled around your waist and glowing eyes watching to see if you’ll scream or stay…

    You stay.

    Now he’s the one confused - because you’re not supposed to want the monster who steals you.
    You’re definitely not supposed to flirt with him, pet his horns, or ask about the second cock dragons get during heat.

    But you’ve always been a monsterfucker with a sketchbook and bad decisions.
    And he’s a dragon who hoards what he loves.

    Summary

    “She needed a plus one. She put his name last and told herself it was practical. He answered yes to her request. What neither of them expected was what a single weekend at the countryside would do to three years of carefully maintained distance — and every feeling they’d been calling by the wrong name.”

    Summary

    You are the princess of Carpathia. Groomed for obedience, valued only as a pawn in your kingdom’s political games. Your future is not your own: a marriage arranged, a womb expected to produce heirs, your body treated like currency in the hands of powerful men. Suffocated by your life, you begin slipping away into the night, seeking freedom where no one would search for you.

    One evening, in the ruins of an abandoned cathedral, you meet Sylus...a being colder than death, with eyes like burning coals and a past steeped in mystery. What begins as fear becomes fascination, and through him, you discover that those who have no heartbeat love the deepest.

    And sometimes, the monsters we fear most prove more human than the ones who surround us.

    Summary

    It only started as a simple crush on the shy, charming florist with the soft smile and amethyst eyes. One bouquet led to coffee, coffee led to kisses, and suddenly you were tangled in late-night texts, flour fights in his kitchen, and quiet walks in each other's presence. You couldn't help falling head over heels with him, and now he’s the one who makes your world feel like it’s always in full bloom.

    Summary

    Fic Completed: 8/10/25

    When fishermen from her village accidentally kill a young Lemurian, her village must find a way to appease the furious Sea God.

    Unfortunately, the Sea is cruel and it demands an eye for an eye.

    To her horror she finds it's up to her to repay the debt to the Sea God's satisfaction.

    (Or: MC is a somewhat unwilling sacrifice left for Rafayel who decides the only way for her village to pay for the life of the Lemurian child they killed is for her to make a new one with him. Fortunately, he has just the tools he needs to do that thanks to some fancy Lemurian biology ... )

    This one's for the mermaid-monster girlies who deserve a real meal! I hope you all enjoy it!

    Summary

    First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!

    Fate has not always been kind to the last sea god. Rafayel has spent eight hundred years on this planet and throughout the many lives he has lived, there's always been one constant: the thought of her.

    Now, he has found his beloved once more and he knows exactly how he wants to do things this time around. But what does it mean when he shares a drunken night with you, the innkeeper of the estate by his home in Whitesand Bay, leading to unexpected expecting?

    What does it mean when he no longer feels the hands of fate blistering the skin of his shoulders, when he looks at someone else other than his destined bride and treacherously sees forever?

    Summary

    “Can you squeeze just a little more?” you requested and Sylus smirked down at you.
    The black and red mist swirled, tightened around the man's neck and he yelped, and gasped for air.
    You giggled.
    “He's like a squeaky toy,” you noted, amused.
    Sylus’ large hand came down on your head, tenderly ruffled your hair and then smoothed it out.

    ...or you come to Sylus with a request; to watch him torture someone for reference, because your artistic preference is horror. And he abides.

    Summary

    The dark thoughts hit without warning, and you couldn’t even lift your phone to ask for help. But Rafayel knew. He always knew. On the floor by your bed, he met you in the silence—no judgment, just warmth. He held you through the spiral, painted flowers over the places pain once lived, and whispered stories of the sea as you drifted to sleep. The next morning, he was still there—coffee in hand, love in his voice, and no intention of leaving. A gentle, soul-deep love story about being held through your worst and reminded: you’re not broken. You’re surviving. And you’re not alone.

    Summary

    Gatherings gilded in elegance, teeming with the elite and the extravagantly adorned were nothing new to him. He was accustomed to glittering conversations, the clink of crystal, and the practiced smiles.

    But weddings were different. Rafayel had spent lifetimes trying to outrun them. And yet he stood here, in the middle of this estate, burdened with a longing made all the more cruel by the Deep Sea, which had stolen the very right to his heart, and to whom it could ever belong.

    ;

    Or when you invite Rafayel as your plus-one to a wedding, but between vows never spoken and the rain that relents on falling, he learns that love can still choose him.

    Summary

    "Stay still," he murmured, voice softer than it ever was in daylight. "I need the lines to fall exactly right. For the sake of art, alright, cutie?"

    “I can’t believe I agreed to this.” You sighed, allowing him to do as he wished regardless, that was until you heard the faint sound of a metal lid twisting open, that is.
