Simon Blackburn and The Chosens

Aster_Nax
​Was the darkness that gave you birth meant to destroy the world... or to save it? ​Within the silent walls of an orphanage, Simon spent his days hoping for one thing: a family to call his own. But instead of a welcoming home, he received a letter—an invitation to Willowgate Academy, claiming he had been chosen by the Gods themselves. ​As he steps into a world of magic, Simon is forced to confront a terrifying truth about his past. The blood coursing through his veins isn't ordinary; he is the descendant of the infamous "Blackburn," a name that once brought the world to its knees in terror. ​Surrounded by hostility, fearful whispers, and glares of hatred within the ancient halls of the academy, Simon must now define his own destiny. Will he embrace his heritage as the heir to the world’s most feared bloodline and become its destroyer? Or will he emerge from the shadows as a savior seeking the light? ​The truth might kill you. But your choice will keep you alive. This is an original fantasy story inspired by magical academy stories, but it is not related to any existing franchise.

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! 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.
