She's So Fire In That Dress

Serena_Walken
As Jinx gives into a painful fate of her mind being split in moments of time so that there can be a vaccine for shimmer, Ekko and Vi can't accept it, but before they hand her back to the mage, Heimerdinger comes shouting it isn't too late. Ready to take any chance, Ekko listens as his professor makes a terrible deal to be completed in six months. Vi swears she will lock up Jinx and visit each split everyday, that Piltover will get the vaccine out quicker than anything else. Sevika swears with Heimerdinger that there was a better way for Zaun, but it would make Ekko live out his worst nightmares: Employ an enchanted Jinx under the impression Ekko was working with Silco while fooling a trusting Powder into believing she was stuck in an alternate universe. Book 1 of 2 in a series. This has Time bomb, but not a happy ending for it until book 2. (I divided up the books because one is very Arcane centered while book 2 brings in magic, ruined kind, universal travel, etc.) *Yes, it does take place a few months after season 2.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)
