Usually so perceptive of those around her, she fails to notice how, she too, has caught his eye. Captain James Nicholls. In a small town square, he first sees her and is stricken to the core.
Will they find it within themselves to speak what their hearts demand of them? And if so, will their love stand the tests of family expectations and a world at war?

Summary
Their story became one of myth and folklore. The story of a love cursed out of jealousy by the Devil himself. Cursed to remain forever separated.
Through every age, through every period of history, Adam found her. Always wearing the face of a stranger, her soul remained familiar to him while her mind had forgotten him. Countless times they fell in love and countless times the curse would take her. Take her to be reborn again.
Now, in the 21st century, in the darkness of Detroit, Adam once again searches for her. Creating music to draw her out. His cursed, undead soul yearns for hers. But should he see her again, will he run to her or from her? For the curse always finds a way. It cannot be outrun or evaded.
Unless, of course, it can be broken. After so long, does he dare to hope for such a thing?
(Inspired by the piece "When She Will Recognize Him" by Koan)

Summary
A trade deal, a successful negotiation, that was what her father was known for. He dealt with alien communities that would help their galaxy. His agency, Olympus Outreach, handled such situations with ease. Yet it is this organisation, Tartarus Inc. that proves to be a thorn in their side. Or is it perhaps their leader, one Lord Loki, who drives a harder bargain that most?
That is, until he sees her and demands but one condition upon which to settle this agreement. She is to be his wife.
It is her mother, the head of Demeter AgriCorp, a galaxy-wide organisation, that throws a wrench into the plan. She demands that her daughter remain with her for half the year.
Being raised in the light and among nature, will she adapt to the shadows of her new home? Will she learn to see through the eyes of her heart and see the beauty offered by the dark?

Summary
Their story became part of folklore and fairytales. The story of a Princess cursed to take the form of a swan during the day, only to return to her natural form once the moon rose.
The stories were wrong in but two regards. She was no Princess. She bore no title. And it was no sorcerer who cursed her. But the father of the man she loved. She was a maid, a servant in the Palace in which he was Prince.
Blamed for seducing Asgard's second Prince, she was cursed. A curse only to be broken by the purest act of love. Their story would cement itself as one of history's greatest romances.
Calling upon his enemies and his brother to protect her, Loki fights every opportunity to be married off and for the chance to break the curse on the one he loves.

Summary
"So that is what you are," she whispered, voice soft with wonder.
He nodded, the shyness returning in a small smile.
"So beautiful," she murmured, canting her head to the side and smiling in return. Her keen eyes did not miss how the water rippled lightly as he moved to stay upright, the moonlight catching on the gray scales, turning them silver.
Beautiful? A word used to describe his voice, but never his kind.

Summary
Her form said she was severely delusional and bordering on schizophrenic. What was written on there, was in fact, a lie.
Locked away from the world, she is trapped with those whose minds are afflicted. Prevented from contact with anyone, she has never felt more alone, or more determined to escape. Gradually she loses count of the days and she fears for her mind. Until she meets him. The hospital Librarian. She quickly learns that there is more to him than meets the eye.
With his magic restrained, Loki finds himself near powerless in the face of humanity's darker side. The books give him a measure of peace, a peace that is shattered when she walks into his life.
Together, they form a plan of escape from their tormentors. But should they break free, will the world simply leave them be? Or will they be hunted until they have nowhere left to run?
