And here we are. ___ I do not write in first person because I find it cringy! There will be no 'I smile at him---' or 'He takes your hand---' here. Every story is third person omnipresent. ___ In this book: - Join Sherlock on cases - Visit his parents in the countryside - Go on dates - Cook together - Look after some animals - Comfort him - Have HIM comfort YOU - Enjoy some dominant Sherl - And some sub Sherl - A bit of both - 🎀 Don't be afraid to make a request! I'm an AO3 veteran, so I've seen it all 😉🤣 ___ - Female reader - Set around season one, in most of these Y/N is renting the spare room in 221B after John moved out with a random girlfriend that I made up and never mention - No death, drugs, smoking, gore, blood, mental illness etc. - I'll label chapters that are properly explicit 🤎 No trigger warnings apply; just feel good vibes 🤎 See table of contents (first chapter) for one-shot plot summaries.

In our world, something is always wrong. I hate the idea that the moment a girl becomes legal, she has to get married. And unfortunately, I was no exception. At seventeen, I still had dreams. Big dreams. The most important one was becoming a ballerina. Dancing was my escape. I loved the rhythm, the feeling of freedom, the way the world disappeared whenever I stepped onto the stage. Ballet made me feel safe. But all of it vanished the moment my father arranged my marriage to one of his men - Ethan. My father is a Mafia boss. And Ethan is a Don. Everything changed on my eighteenth birthday.

She was never meant to be her. Sent away to Italy as an infant, Camillah Rustirico grew up believing she was the rightful heiress-unaware that her identity was built on a lie. A carefully crafted deception. A dangerous game of revenge. Bound by a marriage arranged since childhood, she is destined to become part of the powerful Leonardo family. But fate has its own cruel design. Akiro Leonardo-the man she is meant to marry-is also the one who will uncover the truth... and destroy everything she thought she knew. As secrets unravel and past sins come to light, love becomes a battlefield. Because in a story built on lies... someone is bound to fall.

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

Surviving monsters was easy. Nobles? Not so much. I registered. I came of age. I nearly blew up a temple and survived more assassination attempts than anyone should before breakfast. Now it's time to track down whoever keeps trying to kill me. After fighting tooth and nail to avoid the capital, I'm heading there voluntarily-because apparently the First Temple's archives might hold answers about the people hunting my friends and me. The plan was simple: slip into Ceapstow, research quietly, slip back out. Easy-peasy. ...Not even close. My friends and I officially formed our party, Forest's Will, and while we've got a decade of training, we're still new to the adventuring scene. At least the road trip to the capital cured me of some of my naïveté about my own species-just in time for the real challenge: surviving Cyning's royal capital, Ceapstow. Between maintaining my status as an adventurer, settling into my unexpectedly public role as a divine healer (which is not as glamorous as everyone makes it sound), navigating high society, and dodging yet more attempts on our lives, I started wondering if I should simply give up and go back to living in the forest. From forest girl to ballroom belle, the transition is... less than graceful. The temptation to play the highborn lady the Temple always wanted me to become is strong. Maybe I could enjoy it-just a little-before plotting my escape. *A reminder that wild animals are not pets.

Leona Davis stopped being a child the day her father was led away in handcuffs. Seven years later, she's twenty-five and carrying the weight of a family that refuses to stand on its own. In the fixer-upper 2-bedroom house located at 656 Twiddle Lane, Bend Grove, Leona is the provider, the protector, and the only barrier between her siblings and the street. With her mother lost to spiraling habits and her stepfather adding more burden than support, Leona has sacrificed her education and her heart to keep Cory, Lexi, and Ollie safe. She's become the mother they weren't supposed to need, and the sister they can't afford to lose. As the pressure of the world closes in and her siblings begin to see the world in a different light, Leona is forced to confront the reality she's been outrunning: even the strongest tether frays under pressure. And when it snaps, the Davis family may lose the only person holding them together.

She was nineteen when the world ended. She was eighty when she finally laid it down. Between those years lived a life no one could erase. In 1829, Sarah Wright was sentenced at Newgate Prison and transported to New South Wales aboard the Lord Sidmouth. Shackled, pregnant, and alone, she enters a world designed to break her. But Sarah does not break. She survives the voyage. She survives the men who would use her. She survives the loss of a child, the lash, the hunger, the grief. She survives love twice. And she builds a family that will carry her name long after she is gone. Beyond the Chains is the sweeping, intimate story of a real woman who refused to be defined by the punishment forced upon her. Through heartbreak, resilience, and fierce devotion to her children, Sarah Wright becomes more than a convict - she becomes a matriarch, a pioneer, and the quiet heart of a legacy. She was my ancestor. Her life was hard. Her life was extraordinary. And now, her story is finally told.
