Four years after Elijah was sealed away, the world hasn't healed. Governments have begun experimenting with ancient artifacts, turning civilians into weapons and preparing for a war they believe they can control. They're wrong. When an assassination attempt targets his family, Elijah stops holding back. What begins as retaliation becomes something far bigger. Nations fall. Institutions collapse. Heroes become soldiers. The war ends quickly. Too quickly. Because when the dust settles, the world is finally peaceful...under one ruler. Beyond Genesis isn't about a hero losing control. It's about what happens when absolute power actually works. ♥️ I highly advise you to read the other arcs for beyond genesis before reading this please and thank you. sincerely author

New Orleans, Louisiana. September, 2002 The Beauregard Institute has a student debt problem. To address it, a handful of broke, supernaturally gifted students take on freelance monster-hunting assignments for the Arcane Debt Reduction Initiative (ADRI), for short. It's a high-stakes work-study program where the "tuition" is paid in blood. For every supernatural threat neutralized across Louisiana bayou, the school chips away at the student's mounting loans. Take these three college students, for example: Frazier Doucette, an artsy seventeen-year-old shapeshifter with a long rap sheet. Remy Salazar, a twenty-year-old necromancer who finds the living more exhausting than the dead. Cairo Beauvais, a compassionate nineteen-year-old witch who masks a dangerous strength. Frazier's first official night shift was supposed to be a "milk run": assist the Williams twins with a routine gun shipment. The pay was decent, and the target was supposedly small-time. That is until a horde of anomalies ambushes the drop-off. While Frazier narrowly escapes the carnage, the shadows of the bayou follow him back to campus. The Institute's hallowed halls, once smelling of old paper and floor wax, now reek of copper and ozone. A series of impossible murders begins to plague the faculty, scrawled in the very ichor Frazier saw at the docks. Cairo, Remy, and Frazier make demands to their handler, Rourke Salvatore, only for him to hand them their paychecks and benching them in their boarding house. Now, don't get them wrong; the trio wants to forget the night ever happened. But with the monsters still hot on their tail, "getting even" is the only way to ensure they live long enough to graduate.

Dylan has always been into women. That part of himself has never been a question. Then one night he gets dragged out to a gay club and gets tangled up with the one person he definitely shouldn't want-his best friend's younger brother. Richie is cocky, persistent, and impossible to ignore. Dylan tells himself it was just alcohol, bad timing, and one mistake. That explanation gets harder to believe the more he wants it to happen again. A mature contemporary romance about denial, attraction, and a trans man questioning more than he bargained for. Tropes / themes: -Best friend's younger brother 👀 -Forbidden attraction 🔥 -Identity questioning 🌀 -Bad decisions 😈
