[ COMPLETE ] A man does a comedy stand-up routine in the hopes of saving his new career before it fails, while an important woman in his life watches expectantly from the audience.

No one would believe me. There was no evidence; not a trace of anything to be found: the boat, the people, the tickets. No one I cared about made it out alive. I don't know where they are, but I do know they are dead. The police are no help; some of them think I may have killed my own cousin. I was certainly framed for it. My job now? Try and convince everyone I was innocent while the master of shadows continued to haunt every essence of my being. What happened to be one night of bliss turned into a nightmare I couldn't wake up from or escape. The individual I was dealing with was intelligent, manipulative, a schemer, and wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Only one person would be able to help me escape this black hole. After all, she survived one too.

Matchmaking Madness - Volume 1 In the treacherous world of the Inner Court, even marriage can become a battlefield. When the Emperor decrees that the brilliant yet dangerously independent daughter of General Lakan must be formally acknowledged as a princess, a carefully calculated chain of events is set into motion. What begins as a political arrangement soon becomes a subtle contest of strategy, influence, and quiet rebellion. Caught between imperial command and his own guarded paternal instincts, Lakan is forced into a game he did not choose - one where every move could determine his daughter's future. Meanwhile, the Moon Prince stands at the centre of the court's attention, admired for his elegance yet underestimated in ways that may prove perilous for everyone involved. As factions stir behind painted screens and unseen hands guide the board, one truth becomes increasingly clear: In the palace, even love can be weaponised. And some matches are arranged not to unite... but to control. Disclaimer This is a fan-created work inspired by the world and characters of The Apothecary Diaries.

On the very eve of the Prequel trilogy (Episode I), amidst Darth Plagueis' most audacious experiment, the chaotic power of the Great Force intervenes. The soul of Darth Revan, legendary Master of both the Light and Dark sides, is violently ripped from death and transplanted into the body of a test subject. Reborn into a galaxy he barely recognizes, Revan must immediately confront the bitter truth: his ancient enemies, the Jedi and the Sith, have become mere shadows of their former selves. The Jedi are complacent, blind to the darkness gathering under their noses, and the Sith, fewer, yet more insidious, are on the verge of claiming ultimate power. What side will this resurrected legend take in the brewing conflict? Will he pledge his immense power to the flawed idealism of the Jedi or the cynical machinations of the Sith? Or will Darth Revan forge a terrifying new path, seizing the destiny of the galaxy for himself and proving that some legends never fade? PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/Bluuuxx

Every smile conceals treachery. In a world where trust is a luxury and survival is a gamble, will our reluctant hero bend the Game to his will, or be crushed beneath its merciless weight? Soon, the board is set, the pieces moving... and the Game begins. PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/Bluuuxx

Versailles, 1756. At the court of King Louis XV, the Chevalier Charles d'Éon de Beaumont's name is on everyone's lips. A mysterious androgynous figure, as handsome as he is intelligent, he arouses fascination and envy. For his part, Alexandre is 21 years old. He's been his squire for three years, mourning an impossible love for his master, to whom he is utterly loyal. He sometimes finds himself hoping for more, as he sees their relationship deepen, but fears that one day he'll be passed over for someone more interesting. Sent to St. Petersburg on an espionage mission, the two men cross paths with Gaïa Vassilievna Parchoukova, a young woman as dangerous as she is intriguing, who could well be their undoing. When reality calls their hearts to order, the masks fall off, and when they return to Versailles, nothing may ever be the same again. Written by Lucile Guyot, based on an original idea by Stephan Boschat. Translated by Alexandra Maldwyn-Davies.

And consumed by loss, rage, and despair, victims become the monsters they once despised. In a world where every choice is a gamble, whose side will Lekh pick? And what price will he pay to see his chosen side win?
