At the Bottom of the Stairwell
Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.
Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.
Also some Doms really hate being told no.

Soul Tied
I'm Xirasti a pure demon that lives in hell. When I was a child on accident I found an angel trapped in the bottom of a cavern. From the first moment I saw him he was mystical and enchanting. As I grew older he became beautiful and had me enraptured. Then I set him free. Things did not go as expected.
What I do know is:
I almost died for him.
I burned for him.
I bled for him.
I sacrificed for him.
I deceived for him.
I stole for him.
I longed for him.
Then once he is free I do them all over again and again. Because Sam, I'd follow him anywhere. What better reason is there to sacrifice yourself for someone other than love?

Deus Ex Machinarium
Brandt Zerster, an aberrant, worked long and hard to distance himself from his past of a vagabond and an adventurer. Fate was to find a way to pull him back, when it gave him a stack of ancient prints amd insisted that he ought to find someone who can translate them. In spite of the looming threat of the inquisition of the Church.
It took over fifteen centuries for the world to recover from the cataclysm caused by the extinction of an ancient race known only as the Precursors. Since then kings and emperors have risen and fallen, but the Church of Vhirs remained a stalwart guardian of the legacy of the ancients. In this uniquely crafted realm the hoomin spread wide and far, skillful tehei construct machinery of steam and gear, and elusive tanai tirelessly push the boundaries of knowledge. It is where, when musketeers and pirates clash, arcane powers get invoked amidst the gunfire.
Aramoth is a uniquely crafted reality where supernatural elements of fantasy meet the constraints of physics and is best described as hard science fantasy.
