    Summary

    Working as a maid for three of the most terrifying, gorgeous, high-powered women on the planet wasn’t exactly on my bingo card. Yet here I am—dusting priceless furniture and trying not to cry in a walk-in pantry while being judged by women who could either step on me or own my soul. Or both. At the same time.

    Every day is chaos. I cook. I clean. I garden. I get stabbed. I get kidnapped. I recover. Then I get dragged into more problems that definitely weren’t in my job description. It’s like the universe went, "Hey, what if we dropped one underqualified, overstimulated gal into a murder mansion and hit record?"

    They say I'm the head maid now. Which is weird, because I’m pretty sure I'm the only maid here. But somehow, I’m keeping up—through all the flirting, near-death experiences, existential crises, and more emotional whiplash than any one person should legally be allowed to endure.

    Oh yeah... and *ahem* It’s "romantic" comedy meets psychological thriller with a splash of emotional damage.

    And maybe… maybe I’m not just surviving anymore.

    Maybe this mansion is starting to feel like home... HAH! Yeah, right.

    Summary

    Lila’s had a terrible night, a few too many drinks… and accidentally calls her brother-in-law in the middle of the night. Five could probably ignore it, but he doesn’t. Or: how one late-night phone call sets off a chain of events that had been left unresolved for far too long.

    Summary

    Sunny comes into her second season of Love Island with a plan: keep it light, keep it simple, don't lose your head—or your heart—too fast.

    Hamish was never supposed to be a part of it.

    But between bad timing, worse decisions, and a connection neither of them can quite shake, they keep ending up in the same place—just never at the right time.

    Until they run out of ways to avoid it.

    Because in the end, the name of the game isn’t winning: it’s choosing who’s worth the risk of falling.

    Summary

    Ministry Directive 32
    To ensure moving past any and all lingering Blood-purity views, all Pureblood wizards and witches are henceforth forbidden from marrying other Purebloods.
    Unmarried Purebloods who have aided, abetted and otherwise were tied to the Death Eater movement, are furthermore obliged to, without exception (unless it involves Directive 24), marry a Muggleborn. They have one year to find adequate spouses. Non-compliance with Directive 32 will result in a fine of 150.000 Galleons and 5 years’ incarceration in Azkaban.
    ***
    “I understand.” Lucius Malfoy folded his hands on his cane and sat straighter. “As you may have noticed, Directive 32 has some of my former associates in a bit of a tizzy.”
    Hermione snorted before she could help herself. Lucius blinked at her as if she had spat on the floor. “Apologies, please continue,” she said.
    “Ah, well… I have come to you with an opportunity. As I have been told, you receive dozens of proposals a day. In person as well as in the form of letters. Were you to agree to my proposition, that would all go away.”
    “And what exactly are you asking of me, Mister Malfoy?”
    “In short, to marry my son and thus keeping him out of Azkaban.”

    Summary

    Everything about this assignment was terrible. A few minutes later a sharp knock sounded at the door. Scola froze instantly, his heart pounding in his chest, instinct took over, his hand near his weapon, a silent approach, and a quick glance through the peephole.

    And then his entire brain stopped functioning. He stood paralyzed at the opened door way.

    Summary

    Alaric Snow has spent years perfecting the art of invisibility. Disgraced by scandal, armed with an inconvenient intellect, and hiding truths that could ruin him, he prefers books to ballrooms and honesty to society's many comfortable lies. He is perfectly content to remain in the shadows until the day his conscience compels him to intervene on behalf of a young woman being forced into an unwanted encounter. Unfortunately, the woman turns out to be a princess. What follows is a series of increasingly questionable decisions: rescuing said princess, accidentally infiltrating a royal residence, befriending the Prince Regent of the Realm, and developing deeply inconvenient feelings for him. For a man who prefers the shadows, Alaric has an extraordinary talent for finding trouble.

    Or:

    A Regency AU in which two traumatized men with entirely too much integrity attempt to navigate society, court politics, family expectations, and love while communicating with a level of honesty that alarms everyone around them.

    Summary

    What if Hermione became bad, and Draco became good?

    What if Hermione became a vigilante, while Draco became the Auror tasked with bringing her in?

    Harry dies in the final battle, and the Ministry works overtime to convince the public that Voldemort is truly gone. Hermione and Ron are the only ones who know the truth—that Harry is dead, and they missed a Horcrux. Left to lead what remains of the Order, Hermione and Ron watch wealthy and well-connected Death Eaters walk free with little more than a slap on the wrist. Hermione takes that personally—and our moral queen decides to start hunting them down herself.

    Hermione becomes a wanted criminal, searching for the last Horcrux and uncovering Death Eater plots the Ministry would rather ignore, and Draco is tasked with finding her and bringing her in.

    This is a painful slow burn, and the plot gets DARK.

    Thanks for coming along for the ride and gosh darn do I love writing enemies to lovers. The sass. The yearrrrninnnnnnggggg 🤌🤌🤌🤌

    Summary

    “Come on,” Will says. “We can walk and talk. How did the praetor know you were with me? Telepathy isn’t a part of Hades’ — or Pluto’s — skill set right? Does it have something to do with her godly ancestor?”

    “Reyna’s mother is Bellona,” Nico says, shaking out his hands in a failed attempt to get feeling back into them. “She has no real Greek equivalent. Maybe Enyo, but even then, not really. She’s a goddess of war and conquest.”

    “That doesn’t really answer my question, though,” Will points out.

    “It answered one of them,” Nico huffs. “I was getting to it. But you’re right. No telepathy. For that you’d have to look at Athena, Hera or Hypnos. Or Koios, but he’s a titan. No, essentially I can sense souls in the Overworld, but not where they are. So I just tugged at hers a little. Hazel might be able to do it, too.”

    “Fascinating,” Will says. “Hazel is your sister, right?”

    Nico nods. “She’s one of the Seven. And dating the other praetor of Camp Jupiter.”

    “You’ll have plenty of time to tell me about it. You’re stuck here for three days after all,” Will says, holding the door to the infirmary open for him. “Welcome to my domain, Death Prince.”

    *

    Three days in the infirmary.

    Summary

    You never thought there was anything strange about the way you saw people.

    Then Satoru Gojo asked you a question no one else ever had:

    "Tell me, what exactly do you think you're looking at?"

    One impossible observation leads to another, drawing you into a hidden history buried beneath modern jujutsu society—a history of forgotten techniques, erased records, and a secret connected to Ryomen Sukuna himself.

    Unfortunately, discovering the truth is much easier than surviving it.

    Summary

    The Grand Welcoming Ball at the Red Keep is meant to be a celebration of a new alliance, not a desperate escape from a binding royal decree. Cornered by court propriety and facing mounting pressure to seal his betrothal to your sweet younger sister Jena, Prince Baelor Targaryen turns his attention to the last person he should: you, her sharp-witted, fiercely protective chaperone.

    What begins as a harmless verbal sparring match to save your anxious sister from public embarrassment quickly spirals into something far more complicated as a traditional progressive dance, whispered gossip, and secret corridor meetings blur the line between performance and reality. While the court sees a flawless prince executing his duty beneath tournament banners, Baelor is left struggling to hide a secret he has carried since the moment you arrived in the capital. Because pretending to court your sister to appease the realm is easy.

    Pretending he has not been hopelessly, possessively drawn to you from the very beginning is another matter entirely.

    Summary

    Princess Anil Aramya is sunshine at home and steel in court — and absolutely no one's business but her own when it comes to the parts of herself she keeps hidden. Lady Pin doesn't let anyone close enough to matter. Then a royal gala, a goat-theft anecdote, and one almost-stumble on a terrace change all of that, whether either of them is ready for it or not.
