You're Inconvenient

Micah Price has spent the past 18 years being inconvenient. At twenty-one, he signed a contract with the King family that promised him safety, education, and a future in exchange for one thing: three children for their heir, Dante King. Refusal was never an option. The contract was signed under threat of death, and everyone involved knew it. Now, nearly two decades later, Micah is thirty-nine years old and exhausted. He and Dante have two sons together, eighteen-year-old Gabriel, the future heir to the King empire, and eight-year-old Miles, who innocently believes his parents are already in love. The only problem is that the contract requires a third child, and Micah's body is beginning to fail him. After suffering two miscarriages in the past two years, doctors warn that another pregnancy could be dangerous. But old mafia contracts don't care about medical opinions (or human rights, apparently). Members of the King family are beginning to question why the final heir hasn't arrived, and whispers about broken agreements are growing louder. For years, Micah has convinced himself that Dante only tolerates him because of the contract. After all, Dante never chose him. He was assigned to him. Bound to him. Forced to build a life with him. What Micah doesn't know is that Dante has spent years quietly loving him. Dante knows how Micah takes his coffee. He knows which side of the bed Micah sleeps on after nightmares. He knows the difference between Micah's fake smile and his real one. Somewhere between raising children together, surviving family tragedies, celebrating birthdays, and spending eighteen years under the same roof, Dante stopped seeing Micah as an obligation and started seeing him as the center of his world. When Micah's latest miscarriage nearly kills him, Dante reaches his breaking point. For the first time, he openly defies his family's expectations, refusing to risk Micah's life for a contract signed by a dead man. As tensions rise within the mafia, Gabriel discovers the truth about his parents' arrangement and demands answers, while Miles continues to innocently push them together at every opportunity. Meanwhile, Micah struggles to believe that Dante's growing affection is genuine and not simply guilt or responsibility. With old enemies watching, family members demanding an heir, and a contract hanging over their heads, Micah and Dante must decide whether they're willing to risk everything for a chance at a life neither of them ever thought they deserved.

I can't move on

Twenty-one-year-old Ryder Callahan is a misunderstood high school dropout with a reputation for being a delinquent. Getting suspended countless times from high school and, in the end, just dropping out. The only things that seem to interest him are smoking and knitting, a hobby he picked up from his late grandmother. Despite his rough outer shell, Ryder is loyal to his family and helpful around the house (when he isn’t high), qualities his mother loves and that are the only reason his parents haven’t kicked him out yet. One day, Ryder finds himself in a situation where, while indulging in his usual routine of smoking and knitting in a secluded corner of a park near his house, he sees a brutal altercation between rival gangs that leaves him confused as fuck. Little does he know, his presence didn’t go unnoticed. Dominic Caruso, the notorious mafia boss known for his ruthless killings and fearsome reputation, catches wind of Ryder’s testimony about the crime. Initially angered by the potential threat to his whole way of life, Dom’s curiosity is piqued when he learns more about the young man. Despite the empire he has built himself into, Dom is intrigued by Ryder’s indifference to the danger he’s stumbled upon and his unconventional hobbies, and he can’t get enough. He wants him. He needs him. And he’s going to get him one way or another.

Blackthorn Under Hellfire

In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

Not Realize They're in a Bubble

At twenty-four, Candy is wealthy, infamous, and utterly unbearable. A spoiled brat with a sharp mouth and zero patience, he’s gone through bodyguards like it's water. Most of them last a few days at most, and the reason is simple: Candy is impossible to work for, at least that's the reason that makes it into the job description. Marcus Rowe is thirty-eight, exhausted, and painfully aware that he’s no one’s first choice anymore and probably has never been. Older, rough around the edges, and openly gay, he takes the job for one reason only: money. He lives with his sister and her young son, and he needs stability more than pride. He expects disrespect, long hours, and eventual failure. What he doesn’t expect is Candy himself. In public, Candy performs helplessness flawlessly. Around staff and security, he leans into a fragile, needy persona that makes him seem smaller, softer, almost powerless. But alone with Marcus, the act drops. Candy is sharper. Colder. Confident in a way that feels deliberate. The bratty behavior becomes something controlled, and the power dynamic quietly shifts into something Marcus was never expecting. As threats begin to surface and the real reason no one stays long starts to unravel, Marcus realizes that protecting Candy isn’t just about keeping him alive, it’s about surviving the strange, private world they’re building together. A world where appearances mean nothing, roles invert, and the outside world slowly fades away. Somewhere between duty and desire, control and vulnerability, they stop noticing when everything else disappears. This is Not Realize They're in a Bubble by your truly.

On the Thrill of the High Life

In a world where the social hierarchy between alphas and omegas (I'M SORRY I CRAVE THIS) still lingers beneath the surface of giant high rises and crazy lights, two unconventional omegas redefine what it means to live loud, love hard, and take up space. At 6'2" and built like a goddamn tank, Cairo is an omega who's a bit of a freak of nature. Quiet, disciplined, and intense, he’s content with blending into the background of office life—even if everyone notices him anyway. He doesn’t date, doesn’t party, and spends most of his time at home with his best friend and roommate, Luca, another omega who’s equally out-of-pocket in his own way: 5’11, tattooed, snarky, and raising a three-year-old son with the easy grace of someone who’s been through it all and lived to laugh. Luca bartends at a popular downtown spot called Lick, where he’s built a casual relationship with a frequent customer—Julian, a charming but low-key alpha with a bite behind his smile. One night, their flirtation explodes into something neither of them expected. Except Julian isn’t just any customer—he’s the top lieutenant of the city's most influential alpha-run security firm. Meanwhile, Cairo is thrown into a spiral when he accidentally impresses his aloof, too-rich-for-his-own-good alpha boss, Roman, during a project pitch. Roman has a temper, a past, and a strict policy against dating subordinates. But Cairo's quiet confidence and unpredictable charisma chip away at the polished mask Roman wears—and for the first time, Cairo feels like he’s not just being looked at, but seen. The catch? Roman and Julian hate each other. Their companies are rivals in every sense—corporate, personal, and political. And as feelings deepen between the two omegas and their alphas, all four are forced to confront what it means to want more than what society expects of them. Because the high life isn’t about money. It’s about risk. And love—especially forbidden love—is the biggest gamble of all. This is On the Thrill of the High Life by yours truly.

the universe owes her nothing

In the year 4367, space is no longer the final frontier—it’s a playground for the rich, a network of luxury stations, high-stakes casinos, and floating estates orbiting the dying planet below. Earth, overcrowded and crumbling under political chaos, is a prison for those who can’t afford to leave. The universe belongs to the powerful. Or so they think. Emerald Voss never asked for a legacy. She built her own fortune through a wildly successful startup, but her father’s name still looms over her—one of the wealthiest resort tycoons in the galaxy, a man who owns entire moons. She’s never had to fight for anything, never had to care about anything beyond the next exclusive party or million-credit business deal. But all of that changes when one reckless, sleep-deprived decision leads her to stumble—half-conscious and starving—into the office of Lumina Zevaris. Lumina is a Krexal, a hulking reptilian warrior-diplomat feared across the stars. As one of the galactic ambassadors, she holds the fragile peace between humanity and the ancient alien civilizations that barely tolerate them. Cold, calculating, and battle-scarred, Lumina has spent years ensuring that humans don’t push too far, don’t step on the wrong toes, don’t ignite a war they can’t win. But the war is already here. A shadow moves across the galaxy—something ancient, something powerful, something that sees humans and all their petty wealth as nothing more than fuel. The great space stations and their golden towers will burn. The rich will flee, but there will be nowhere left to run. And somehow, Emerald is at the center of it all. She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know how. But the universe—cold, uncaring, and infinite—has chosen her. And whether she likes it or not, she’s about to learn that some things are worth fighting for. That money can’t buy survival. And that in the end, the universe owes her nothing. This is the universe owes her nothing by yours truly. This is for an english project lmao.
