❛❛ Aemond yearned for her, that much she knew. It was a pity duty held a crown over her head, for Hira would have gladly fallen into his desire. ❜❜-Hira, known to the Seven Kingdoms as Daemon's bastard daughter. In Leng, a Princess, a daughter of the God-Empress. To avoid the war brewing in Leng, she is sent to her father for safekeeping. Her Valyrian roots deem her too Targaryen, whilst her Lengii appearance make her a foreigner in Westeros. Never has she once fit in and perhaps that is why the silver haired Prince Aemond keeps a close, interested eye. Loyal to no one but herself, Hira soon realises that she has traded one war for another. Except in this one, history will know her name.-House of the Dragon | Aemond Targaryen…

"Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song"-"Obviously," She started. There was a nervous shake in her voice that made me tilt my head in her hands. "Obviously you don't understand the agreement." She repeated after quickly composing herself. I rolled my eyes, but let her continue."Where you go, I go. Where I go, you go." She told me sternly. Her thumbs grazed my cheeks and heat rose on my skin where she touched. I couldn't tell if this was just Sophia being caring or if she was maybe feeling more. My brain told me that this was all a friendly gesture, but my body and it's stupid hormones were telling me that it was something more. And your brain can never really overcome true instincts. I moved closer towards her, shrinking the already limited space between us. This time it was Sophia's turn to blush which only made my smile grow larger. All I could think about was her lips meeting mine.(a new and improved skmw xx)…

The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past!Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love.No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles!-Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

Though you are welcome to read it, I personally think the rewritten version is better!]]]Kathena Koda knows one thing for sure: she's kind of odd. Sure, her partner, which happens to be a spider, is the only thing that she can call family, and yes, her body does carry poison, but it's not like she knows anything about her clan in the first place. Without memory of who she was before the Hidden Leaf, Kathena is determined to find her village, her mother, and more importantly - herself. With the aid of the voice in her head that leads to something bigger and her talking companion, she might be able to accomplish her goals, but nothing is ever easy, and life sure as hell ain't fair.…

A much-hated man is found dead, his face twisted into a rictus of horror. Young Inspector Visser can't stand the sight of blood or death, so this case was destined to be a struggle, even before a storm hits.The death occurred in an isolated boarding house on Pluvierstraat, The Hague. Fighting nausea as he examines the body, Visser grudgingly concludes that the death is murder by poison. Which of the motley group of suspects is the killer? The blind woman? The practical jokester? The Italian ex-convict? The English bookie? The scarred railroad engineer? Or could it be the pretty piano teacher?Visser orders them all to stay inside the house as he completes his time-consuming police work. The confinement becomes real when a storm strikes, cutting electricity and telephone. Clues mount and tensions rise, and the murderer among them could kill again. The more clues Visser unravels, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim.---- I tried to channel Agatha Christie a bit. Okay, more than a bit. This story was longlisted in the 2020 "Open Novella Contest," and won 2nd place in the 2022 Punk Rock Awards, Mystery & Suspense category. Comments welcome!…
