Summary
“I don’t believe in reincarnation,” Rebecca says. Her ovaries say otherwise.
In which:
A hot, brooding serpent demigoddess bites first, asks questions never.
Rebecca's uterus becomes ground zero for a mystical baby the universe forgot to warn her about.
Ancient magic and modern Bangkok collide in a tropical fever dream of fate, sex, and drama wrapped in divinity.
Soulmates are real, the jungle is sentient, and Sarocha's fang marks are not just kink trophies.
Rebecca thought she was just digging for artifacts in Thailand.
Now she’s mated, magical, and a catalyst for cosmic rebirth.
There is no chill. Only yearning.

Summary
What Remains is a dark, dreamy exploration of memory, magic, and the things we can’t quite forget—even when we try.
Hermione Granger oversees the Archive: a vast, living vault of magical memory buried deep beneath the Ministry. Memories are going missing. People are unraveling. And the magic holding everything together is beginning to... shift. The Ministry wants answers, and they’ve brought in an outside consultant to help her find them—Draco Malfoy. Reformed. Brilliant. Still impossible.
What starts as a tense partnership quickly becomes something far stranger. And the deeper they go into the Archive’s secrets, the more it seems to be watching them, shaping itself around their history, their regrets, and something else neither of them can name.
The war is over, but the scars are deep. Magic has grown colder, quieter, and more dangerous.
If you’re drawn to stories that blur the line between romance and haunting, between past and present—if you like sentient structures, a powerful Hermione, a morally gray Draco who never really stopped burning, and magic that feels like myth—this one’s for you.
And fair warning: the Archive always takes something in return.Series

Summary
"Chiron only trains heroes." He repeats the same words from that day. "It’s not something you choose, like tanning hides or making pots.”
"And you are one?"
The question stung. Mydeimos’ jaw tightened. "It was foretold."
“Right. Foretold,” Phainon scoffed, as if it were a minor detail. “Well, no one’s foretold anything about me, so I guess I have to make my own way.”One trained by fate, the other chasing it. The gods, of course, remain entertained.
Chiron watches them both, and wonders how many ways a heart could break.Or; Mydeimos and Phainon grow up together in the forest, undergoing a decade of training to become heroes.

Summary
“How does the story end?” he asks her over drinks one night.
They’re sitting at the bar, and there’s a glass of something strong in her hand.
Amariah doesn’t answer at first.
She just watches the way the sea creeps up the sand—rough, then gentle—white foam trailing back into the dark.
She watches it go.Watches it leave.
“The same way it begins,” she whispers at last, her voice hollowed, cracked at the edges.
After all, all love stories are ghost stories if you wait long enough.
(Or: the story of grief, a love-struck musician, a clever healer, a ghost town, motherhood, music, small-town superstitions, and love that refuses to stay buried.)

Summary
Strondheim University is the first of its kind, offering classes in witchcraft and alchemy alongside more mundane subjects. Drysia Sitova is glad to have a scholarship somewhere that her not-quite-human qualities won't draw attention, but she's more worried about not flunking out of English than her own magical potential. When her boyfriend develops a mysterious illness that leaves human doctors stumped she is forced to look for help from witches, magical creatures, and her fellow metahumans.
It soon becomes clear that not only are there monsters at Strondheim University, but if she's going to save both her scholarship and her love life she's going to have to figure out which ones she can trust.

Fifteen was always the age you figured things would start kicking up. And they did. Just not how you thought, like.. at all.
You’ve been obsessed with the Ninjago franchise since childhood. Meditation? Not so much. And yet, the night of your birthday, you mix the two by fluke and wind up transported straight into the world of your dreams. Or, uh… Some alternate version of it, I guess.

Summary
At the very cusp of a much-longed-for shift in their friendship, Hermione Granger vanished. Draco Malfoy, ever-devoted and painstakingly adept at dismantling mysteries, would spend the next seven years and a day seeking for his disappeared witch.
And then Hermione—ever-contrary, hauntingly remote, aggravatingly withholding, in possession of disquieting power—ends his hellbent search by storming his study and demanding that he give her access to Malfoy family lore.
Draco untangling the mystery of Hermione’s disappearance and just-as-maddening return plunges him into a quest that breaks realms, magical jurisdictions, standing warrants, sacred bargains, ancient truces, the demands of space and time—and, rather importantly, his already tenuous grasp on his restraint regarding his long-lost, brilliant, terrifying, distressingly brown-eyed witch. But, then again, Draco prides himself on being highly adaptable.
If he could not make Hermione stay put, then he would make her keep him.

Summary
The lull of the sea underneath her is comforting — she's always found it comforting. So it doesn't occur to her until she's stretching awake and reaching for the water at her bedside that she didn't go to sleep on her ship last night.
No, she remembers being on land.
But… where?
Where was that bed with the blue sheets and the hazy view out the window and —
