"If she became queen, she would be the end of us all."
A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin.
The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin.
Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone.
The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear.
The fall of Vequera.

The Purple Eyed Girl
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

The Shield of the Dragon Queen: The Tale of Velleanna Targaryen
{Book 1} The winds of war howled through the scorched skies of Westeros, carrying the scent of fire and blood. Among the Targaryens, a name whispered through history was not only Rhaenyra's, but that of her younger sister-Velleanna Targaryen. Born in the shadow of a realm divided, Velleanna was not raised to be a queen, but a warrior. While Rhaenyra played the game of thrones, Velleanna sharpened her blade, vowing to be the shield that stood between her sister and the darkness that sought to consume her. From the moment she could walk, Velleanna was drawn to steel and flame, trained by the finest warrior Ser Athony Mormont the Kingsquard. She grew into a fierce protector, a rider of dragons, and a woman forged in loyalty. Through years of war, betrayal, and shifting allegiances, she stood unwavering at her sister's side, her sword a promise of devotion. As the realm spiraled into chaos, with House Targaryen tearing itself apart, Velleanna would be more than a mere footnote in history. She would be the tempest, the firestorm, the sister who chose not the throne, but the woman who rightfully claimed it. And when the dragons screamed and the world burned, she would be there, standing at Rhaenyra's side, ready to carve their fate into the very bones of Westeros. {Velleanna Targaryen x Charlie Hunnam} (SPOILERS ABOUT HOUSE OF THE DRAGON READ AT YOUR OWN RISK !!) ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀɪɴꜱ: ꜱᴍᴜᴛ, ᴛʀɪɢɢᴇʀɪɴɢ ꜱᴄᴇɴᴇꜱ, ᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ,ᴀɢᴇ ɢᴀᴘ.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀɪꜱᴋComplete
Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer
I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they gave me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin took my husband's bed. I obeyed even when I carried his child. Then he burned me alive. I woke up months before the pyre. I found myself back with the same husband and the same traitors, but I remember every detail of what they did to me. This time, I am not the victim. I am the architect of their downfall. Caelan Vorenthal is my husband's greatest rival. He is a shadow in a court of vipers and the only man who saw the truth when everyone else stayed silent. Now he is offering protection. An alliance. A connection that feels less like safety and more like a threat to the walls I have built. Can I trust the one man who could destroy everything? Or is he the weapon I never knew I needed? I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns. ____________________________________________ The Details - A second chance fueled by the memory of fire - The silent marriage and the loud betrayal - The rival ally who should not be trusted - A heroine reborn to take back her agency - Tense attraction that feels like a risk - Slow burn romance and high-stakes secrets - Spicy scenes and intense emotional payoffs - A fight for survival and the ultimate revengeComplete
An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.

𝑨 𝑫𝑶𝑶𝑴𝑬𝑫 𝑩𝑳𝑶𝑶𝑫𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬~ Jacaerys Velaryon, Daeron Targaryen, Cregan Stark
Targaryens are known to have queer costumes, an unusual tradition in which the brother and sister wed each other in order to secure the line of succession as pure as possible. Well, it is not always the Targaryens that have such habits, who says that they are the only ones to marry within the family? Not when there indeed exists love, as clear as the reflection in the surface of the sea, as consuming as the glorious fire that burns every piece of life ahead of it. The word "love" can have many different meanings and from various aspects, love can be dangerous, powerful and sensational, a concept of purity that was left in this world just for one reason... to bring people close, to make life good in all its worst. In 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 case it was everything and nothing... because Jacaerys Velaryon would sooner sacrifice himself than see his little sister suffering, he would put the realm to torch just for 𝘩𝘦𝘳... 𝘩𝘪𝘴 Vellena... #2-in #creganstark (05.07.2025) #1-in #jacaerysvelaryon (19.05.2026) HOTD FANFIC ( mostly book vers) JACAERYS VELARYON X FEM OC!

Dragon Blood
"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat.
