No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone.

Affection And Envision ( The 'Deceptive' Playboy )

One Soul, Two Bodies (Soukoku Oneshots)
"You used Corruption, believing in me? How beautiful.""Yeah, I did. I believed in your disgusting vitality and craftiness.""That was a somewhat violent way of waking Snow White.""You're the one who hid an antidote in your mouth, knowing I'd punch you."•A collection of (almost) all of the Soukoku (Dazai × Chuuya) oneshots I have written. The length of these oneshots will not be consistent.I don't beta read most of these so please forgive any errors I make.Occasionally, a oneshot may contain NSFW content. However, for the most part, these are SFW (especially the first 100 oneshots), although there may be some suggestive/R-15 content that possibly toes the line. There will of course be swears, too. These are of course not spoiler-free, either, so be warned. There also may be self harm/suicide attempts/death; Dazai is his own warning.I also believe in the unpopular headcanon that is top!Chuuya, so Chuuya will more often be the initiator/dom in the oneshots than Dazai.I will gladly take fic requests or prompts as well.

To Make a Kinder Children's Tale
Esme had one big fear in life: being captured as a thief by the city's guardsmen and being executed for her crimes, and that so heavily weighed on her mind that she increased her risks by being distracted in the middle of a heist. That's when she runs into Althalos Fourthborn: Inner Circle Guardsman, one of the many princes of the realm, an Aelif (Dark Elf, local dialect)...and her betrothed by treaty. (That was something her almost human mind could not handle.)So she calls off the heist, gets demoted into a far more risky job, learns the true bitter depth of what this treaty's bond is like, and lands safely by her prince's side....sort of. There were people who still wanted to end her life, even if she was in what most people would call a Happily Ever After. That and her prince had his own living fears that were gnawing at any chance they had. That and she might just lose her mind from everyday boredom. But the one she couldn't wrap her all-too human mind around was that she would one day grow wings and fly away from her almost Happily Ever After to live in a hive with ancestors more alien than a hottie with pointed ears and abandonment issues.~~~~Yes, there are adult themes in this book, and difficult subjects, but nothing is excessive, as this is probably my simplest story.So, trigger warnings:A history of assault. Occasional vulgar language. References to partial cannibaliam. Extremely mild, light, and rare sex scenes. At least one elitist mentality.~~~~Ages of MC/ML:Esme: Apparent age of 24, roughly 20 years lived (mostly human).Althalos: Apparent age of 30, roughly 65 years lived (Elves mature slower).
