some poems I wrote when I was in love... some were written when I started falling out of love...

He's got a bad reputation. She's tasked with fixing it. Mia Carmallo has a lot to prove. It wasn't good enough to be hired by one of LA's top celebrity PR agencies directly out of college; she needs to be the best in the business. Unfortunately for her, she's been handed the least desirable portfolio of clients - the influencers. Enter Brett Archer: heartthrob, TikToker, and the bane of Mia's existence. He's built his brand on just being the hot and mysterious boy next door - that is, until he's arrested. Mia jumps to redesign his image, viewing it as a glistening opportunity to show her expertise. Except Brett isn't going to make things easy for her. Between his frequent scandals, her conflicting emotions, and Brett's charm, Mia might be in over her head. But she's determined to show her worth. No matter what it costs her.

There were two different yet similar thoughts running through the minds of the teenagers. It is quite disheartening, however, to hear them. Afterall, mistakes do happen under the influence of alcohol and the darkness of the night. In Atria's head, innocence and blossoming of a crush newly formed was all she could think of. 'Oh my god, I just kissed Caleb Ledger!' While in the head of the teenage boy who sported a shit-eating grin as his mother scolded him relentlessly, was a thought that fueled what would come next in our story. 'Holy shit, I just kissed Cassidy Brown.'

Love. Hate. The two will not be separated. The Darkrealm has claimed its queen and so has Dain, but that doesn't mean we like each other. We are bound closer than many other fae are ever shackled with. Our days are filled with fighting - others as much as each other - and our nights with passion and love. And amid Feyrith's insistence we placate the other courts with my loyalty, the Shaden demand Dain and I...date. Ugh. Apparently, it's not good enough to be in love. Now we have to fall in like as well. Our friends have placed yet another bond on us in the form of geas that we'll work on it. They control us. He controls me. I am getting some measure of control over him now. But no amount of external control can stop truths coming to light, stop the darkness from extinguishing all that's good in our lives. When a member of the Shaden and Dain's gaol gets taken from us, the prisoner fights for its freedom and I might be the only one who can him. I'm nothing. A bastard no one trusts or likes or wants. But I will have to accept my heritage and my destiny if I want to keep the fae I might be starting to like.

In the heart of a secluded forest, secrets run deeper than the darkest shadows. For over three years, they've been inseparable. He charms everyone with his infectious grin, but she knows a different side of him-deep, mysterious, and unpredictable. Their life together has been filled with shared secrets. The black bag in the car's trunk carries a secret, and an inexplicable scent in the forest floor hints at something more. What happened the night before has set them on this path, and as darkness deepens, so does the web of mysteries surrounding them. In this hauntingly suspenseful tale, they discover that some secrets are meant to stay buried and that choices made under the cover of darkness have far-reaching consequences. Unleash the suspense and brace yourself for the secrets they're about to uncover. Are you ready?

"Falling in love with you was so easy, so effortless. I didn't even realise it until I was completely submerged and drowning and found a bottomless sea with no anchor to hold onto." "I don't think I'm ready." • • • • #38 in like # very short chapters

*now complete* Bad fae. As though there's such a thing as a good fae. Since the fae were exiled from their Otherworld to the human world, Aegrath has been a continent under precarious truce. Hatred runs deep for the atrocities committed in the war following the Return. So, what did this hybrid bastard princess decide to do? Yeah, steal from the arrogant arseholes. My escape nearly ends in an execution when a dark fae assassin decides to save my life. Now that life belongs to Dain of the Voidsworn under magical geas. The fae responsible for killing the only people I had ever loved. He owns me. He controls me. He hates me. He craves me. But no less than I hate and crave him in return, as obsession flares between us. He would destroy the whole world for me, as long as we don't destroy each other first. Is this merely Fate's cruel idea of a joke or is there some other reason the Goddess has forced the two of us together? As my connection to my darkling fae side grows stronger, truths come to light that have the very real power to topple the fragile peace holding Aegrath from the brink of another war. And Dain and I have no choice but to stand against them all together. For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black. These are not the fairies of your childhood. They are dark and dirty, and sooner kill you as love you. They might even kill you because they fell in love with you. They do nothing unless it suits them, and they will steal your heart.

Acacia is one of many average girls in her town. Unlike the many others, she is destined for greatness or for peril (as are most main characters). In her town there stands an onyx statue of a maiden. The statue has a tale that has been spun around her many times over. What stayed true to every retelling was that her true soulmate would be able to bring her back to life. Whoever the soulmate to the Onyx Maiden was, would merely have to hold her marble hand and she would return to breathe oxygen once more like all others. On a day of celebration, Acacia was pushed into holding the marble hand and brought the statue to life. After the initial shock of the stories being true, people began to treat the maiden like royalty. Until the newness of her magical presence wears off, then they begin to look to Acacia. Why was she the maiden's soulmate? What was so great about Acacia? As Acacia is forced to spend her time with the maiden, she learns that their stories of her aren't so true. As the maiden is forced to spend her time with Acacia, she learns that there is more to Acacia than even Acacia realizes.

Cover by: @Caitlyn-Blayne "After the great war, King Archeron, who was not yet a king, was the obvious choice to be the monarch of Avenlea. He possessed all the qualities a king should have-courage, intelligence, boldness, strength, and empathy-but most of all, the gods had given him a quality of his own, something he could pass on to his children. They gave him fire. Fire that could bring down nations." Jasmine has been told stories of Avenlea since she was a child, but it isn't until she meets a handsome stranger who claims to be Avenlean that she starts considering that the myths could be true.

In a land long since abandoned by the Fae. Their powers are just a whisper of a rumour. Theia hunts. The third assassin to be trained by Atel, the first to live through the training. Having no memory of her life before the age of 12, killing is all she has known. The trackers embedded in all the assassins arms prevent them from escape, so she earns until she can repay Atel and be free. Being the prized possession of Atel causes her to be hated by the rest. Jealousy is a powerful emotion. Lethal among assassins. On a mission, she meets someone who seems to know of her past. But can she trust him? //WARNING// ~i will try my best to put trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter that requires, but this is an 18+ read~ - Possible future of smut ;) -Atels punishments are harsh - Explicit language
