Summary
Four years after Team Rocket's fall, the war is just beginning for those left behind.
Aria, a 20-year-old ex-grunt, is released from a detention center with nothing but a government-issued ID that marks her as a permanent outcast. Her only partner is an equally broken Ekans, and her only goal is to forge a new life in a world that wants her to fail.
She soon finds herself in a reluctant alliance with Kira, another ex-con who is timid, traumatized, and everything Aria is not. Together, the two "Scarlet Letters" must navigate a Kanto that hates and fears them, where every battle is a desperate fight for survival.
This is a gritty, tactical, slow-burn journey. It's a deep dive into the mind of a trainer, focusing on the in-depth strategies, creative "synthesized moves," and the moment-to-moment decisions needed to overcome impossible odds. It's a story about managing not just battles, but stamina, resources, and a fragile new friendship in a world that offers no second chances.
I do not own any rights to the pokemon IP. All of that is owned by the pokemon company itself.

Summary
under the hum of fluorescent lights and the stench of disinfectant, fighters are built like weapons, but broken just as fast.
katsuki bakugou's been clawing his way up the circuit for years: a jiu-jitsu bruiser with a record full of blood and a reputation that proceeds him. eijirou kirishima is the boxer who never quits, the one who grins through broken ribs and continues to charge. once, bakugou beat him clean. then, they trained, burnt out and bled together, until eijirou left for thailand, and then everything went radio silent.
now, they are back together, in the same mma gym, twelve weeks out from fight night.
same old camp. same old coaches. different fighters.
the air between them crackles - all sweat, noise and unfinished history. every spar turns personal, every glance lingers a second too long. between bruises and banter, rivalry starts to simmer into something else, something neither of them can afford when the cage door closes.
because in the end, their sport eats softness alive.
but they have both been starving for something real."deadly as the viper, peering from it's coil..." - 'jawbreaker', judas priest.

Summary
As he sat with Jet in the back of the covered wagon, blankets and coats over both their shoulders, the beauty and awe of the pauper prince before him, only one thought came to mind. I’d wait for years if I had to.
Not for the sun to rise, but for the sun to fall. The night had always, always belonged to Jet, and would belong to him forevermore.

The solution came in the form of Pious Pavel: drug dealer, bad boy, and the most dangerously magnetic person Henry had ever known.

Summary
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.
But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets that machines aren’t supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now he’s tangled in something bigger. He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
Updates every Friday with smaller bonus chapters now and then mid-week!

Summary
A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.
This work delves deeply into the world of Avatar, staying true to much of the source inspiration while taking liberties so as to age it up and break down so many of those amazing themes and questions brought up in the show. Specific focus on trauma, guilt, and PTSD; on the moral gray area that war creates and the inevitability of having to do the hard thing over the right thing. Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.
Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks).
Rated M (read tags). Ignore AO3—work first published in August 2022.

Summary
In this dystopian America, a girl with mysterious ties to a technology megacorp stalks the city at night. The whispers of patrons at the bars tell of rumors. Some wonder if it's the same girl from a local eccentric metal band, but some tell a darker tale. Stories of a white-haired and scarred fiend, seen close to where vicious cannibalistic murders took place. The more religious spin tales of a modern Lilith, a she-devil, sent to dine on mortal flesh.
She doesn't really care about what people think, she's just looking forward to her next meal.
Distracted by the city life she may be, but the past always catches up. Revenge is a lost passion soon to be regained.Series

Summary
Something different! A police procedural/mystery set in Northumberland, England. This isn't based on any pre-existing IP but is vaguely inspired by the British Crime show, Vera. I've always wanted to write my own cop or crime story, hope you all like this one.

Summary
Obsession is a psychological horror story that explores the fine line between devotion and madness. When Pino, a once-loyal puppet, uncovers his father’s hidden research on resurrection, he becomes fixated on bringing back his lost brother, Carlo. What begins as grief-driven determination soon spirals into something darker—an all-consuming obsession that distorts reality and fractures his relationships.
When did things get so out of hand? Was it his father’s obsession? Or is it his own?
As Pino grows more erratic, those who once called him a friend struggle with their own fears, caught between distrust and guilt. Meanwhile, the bystander effect takes hold, as those around him hesitate—too afraid, too uncertain, or too complicit to intervene. But as paranoia sets in and the walls close around them, one thing becomes clear: no one is safe from the consequences of unchecked obsessions.
