Pirates
My current last couple is from my current work.
Faith McKenna and Casey Williams.
Faith is a pirate; she was raised on a pirate ship by her father, Paddy Bloodbeard, and his crew. All her life, she has been considered their most precious treasure and heavily protected. Until she is captured by her father’s rival, James Lord known as Dark Lord. He is nasty and mean and brutal. She eventually escapes his ship and lands on a navy ship, which is where Casey comes in.
Casey is a naval Captain who hates pirates. He has been hunting Lord and Bloodbeard for most of his career. When his ship rescues Faith, he doesn’t know who she is. He will eventually find out and his reaction isn’t to throw her in prison and let her hang.
But this segment occurs before he finds out, so it’s okay.

Clean
The following couple are from my novel, Storyteller, which is an intricate story- sort of. But it is also my second cleanest story. People who know me should be either laughing or protesting their disbelief.
Whatever.
Leslie and Orlando are normal, modern day humans. For the most part.
They’re both dead.
Leslie Dana Richardson was an author who re-wrote old tales, such as Oberon and Titania, and Puck. When she was younger, she wrote fanfiction, which started her on her career. I pretended that she wrote fanfiction for my story The Draca Chronicles, only the original version that will never see the light of day again. She also has this ability as a Storyteller to change author-created Realities. So her fanfiction changed the timeline of the Dracas’ story. But something went wrong and has to be fixed. So the inhabitants of Arcadia (Titania, Oberon, Puck, etc) bring her to their Reality to fix it. They bring her to a different Reality by killing her- and her unborn child.
Orlando is left behind in this Reality and grieves for his wife and child, deeply. He goes through several periods of mourning and grieving. Leslie experiences much of the same thing and finds herself unable to concentrate- even when Puck brings her to the Magic Realm to meet Chloe and her entourage.
Around Christmas, (when their child would have been born) Leslie makes a wish for Orlando to be with her. There’s a car crash and he dies. Puck brings him to Leslie.
That’s where this segment begins. Leslie and Orlando’s reunion after seven months of believing they would never see each other again.
Absolute Power
Garnet and David are interesting, mostly because of the situation that I put them in.
Garnet is the most powerful mage in Legion, which is a continent of thieves, crooks, murderers- if it’s a crime, they’ve done it. It was a dumping ground for the other countries, Marclay and Tigra. Garnet is related to the royal family- her uncle is the king in a country of cutthroats- which comes down to he is a murderer. Garnet hasn’t lived in the country very long; at ten, the rest of her family died in a plague and she was sent to Tigra was mage training. She returned when she was twenty- under duress- and has lived there for two and a half years.. She isn’t happy about her situation at all, because she is mainly used as a pawn of her uncle’s and because she is feared because of her magic.
David was a prince of Tigra and had magic- he went to the Mage University on his own credits and was doing his internship as a private tutor when Garnet showed up and he became her tutor. Eventually, they fell in love and David gave up his title to be with her. He was still at the University, now paying off his debt, when she returned to Legion, so it’s been a while since they’ve seen each other.
David arrives in Legion during negotiations between Marclay and Legion and Garnet decides that she is done and wants out. To to this, she screws over both her uncle and the Blade, a resistance group that she was a part of. So now she and David are on the run and in the morning, she plans to turn herself in and neither of them know if she is going to live.
Very tragic.

Today’s post features Chloe and Lucifer, who are from my masterpiece, The Draca Chronicles. I don’t think this piece is anywhere in the story itself, but it is a very personal moment between the two.
Chloe is the leading lady of the Draca family, Heir to the family and the Draca Territory. She just fought a war against one of her exes (that is a separate story all by itself that takes me like ten minutes to explain), and spent most of her life caring for her younger sister and cousins. Chloe has undergone so many trials it is a wonder that she hasn’t cracked and just given up on love.
Her match to Lucifer was originally arranged by her mother, shortly before her mother’s death (Chloe and her mother don’t get along at all, so this could potentially have been a big issue). Chloe honored the arrangement and Lucifer stayed with her until the end of the war. In the process, he courted her and they fell in love.
The two of them are amazing and extraordinarily gorgeous. Chloe has red wine hair and emerald green eyes, and she’s short. On the other hand, Lucifer has long, dark hair that he keeps pulled back in a ponytail and tall; when he and Chloe stand next to each other, she comes up to his chest. Actually, if anyone owns The Book of Angels by Ruth Thompson, L.A. Williams, and Renae Taylor, Gabriel with green eyes is a pretty good description of Lucifer.

An Intimate Darkness
I’ve decided to share my good mood with everyone by posting small segments of my stories. The parts that I’m posting are under a folder called Love Songs; they are comprised of the most intimate moments between my leading couples. The first one, going up today is between Marcus and Liana.
Liana is the third child and the second daughter of the elf king, Elrir; her father is a nasty, sadistic, son-of-a-bitch who has forced her to take the place of queen– in every way. She is an assassin known as Whisper and one of the best. Paranoid, skittish and unsure of herself, Liana is probably one of my more broken characters.
Marcus is the human king and his marriage to Liana is a symbol of peace between elves and men– ironically, the marriage was arranged to protect men from elves, not the other way around. He is caring and very protective of Liana and has been in love with her for years, even before their marriage.
In this scene, Liana has just had an abortion- she forced herself to miscarry by taking certain herbs. This is the third baby she is forced to miscarry because she and Marcus are not married yet.
