Summary
Autumn, 1878
When Alina Florence goes off to Ireland from England to see her cousin in hopes to travel the world with her family, a storm rushes in, taking her under the depths of the sea, completely unknown if she'll survive.
Rescued by a creature of the North Atlantic, Dorian Ayres, he gives Alina a place to stay within an undersea manor that he calls home-- Cerulean Hall.
Cerulean Hall is a ghastly sight to behold, rapidly decaying at every step Alina takes. There's a chill coming from the east wing of the manor, and tempting whispers from the west wing-- both locked with mystery as Dorian keeps the keys tightly within his claws. As one door opens for Alina, another closes with the intent on forcing Alina out.
As more secrets unravel with each discovery in the undersea manor and the other inhabitants that reside there, Alina has to make a choice:
Break the curse, or become a new part of it....
Alina will go on a journey of love and survival as she tries to find the witch and break the binding contract and the curse set upon Dorian before his fate is permanently sealed.

Summary
A poem on blood. Make it weirdly vague tho.
It isn’t on the physical characteristics of blood, though that is briefly described. It is more of the concept and connotation of blood, both as something that emerges from pain and something that exists trying not to hurt people.
TBH it’s really vague so take it as you like.

Summary
Edwin Payne and Simon Mould had not been friends, nor had they been partners. If asked, neither knew what to call their relationship. All that mattered, was that they were there for each other, for a short time.
All that mattered, was that it was there, it was poisoned, and they both ended up dead because of it.

Summary
As is implied by my name, I love reading and writing poetry. It's my therapy and it really helps me sort out my emotions. So, I figured maybe if I share some of my poems, it could maybe help other people too. Just know, most of my poems are sad and can be kinda dark....sorry if that isnt your thing. But if it is, feel free to read what my brain is like! Also, if the dark isn't your thing, I do have a few happy poems. It isn't a lot but I have some inspired by things like my best friend and my crush. :)
My plan is to write some of my poems into here whenever I feel like it, but I will try to add some sort of structure lol.
enjoy and plz plz plzzz give me any and all pointers! thxx -

Summary
Professional mixed martial artist Roronoa Zoro has eaten the same thing every single day since moving into his own apartment, until he comes home to find fresh cookies outside of his door.
Three days later, it’s banana pudding. After a whole month of mysterious, but much appreciated baked goods, Zoro decides he needs to get to the (unexpectedly handsome) bottom of this.
________________Resting his hand against the mirror and looking into his own eyes like they were some else’s, Zoro crooned, “So, how did you get these brownies white? Instead,” he stumbled, “Of their normal brown?” It came out awkward and uncertain rather than the suave that he had been hoping for.

Summary
“Fuck,” he gasps, low and desperate. “Jack, we’re—”
“—on the roof,” Jack finishes for him, his other hand slipping up behind Robby’s head, knitting into his hair, gripping tight to keep him in place. “Nobody can see us here, can they? They know to leave us alone when we come up together.”
It’s true, it has been for years, and he can feel Robby’s acknowledgment and acceptance of this as he practically melts forward into him.

Summary
A poem musing on Tintin with the framing of a broken dish against the backdrop of his lifetime of trauma, and is also a general vent on how it doesn't matter how big or small your trauma is and what you think you've been able to handle before because 'this is normal for me', it still affects you and is often a sign that you need to get it attended to rather than waiting until full blown crisis mode for help.

“Come on Vander! I’m sure it’s not far from here.”
“You said that half an hour ago Felicia!” Huffed the older of the two while hoisting himself over a stack of vents to join the other atop the warehouse roof.
“Ok yeah, but now I know we’re close. Can’t you smell the river?”
She crouched down and reached her hands out to help her friend up.
“Wow…” Felicia whistled in wide-eyed amazement. “Now I understand why they call it Topside. Just look at those columns!”
