Beneath a Crown of Starlight

Five years after the fall of Voldemort, wizarding Britain believes itself healed. The Dark Mark has faded, ancient houses lie fractured, and the Ministry of Magic preaches peace through compromise. Tradition is treated as a relic, power as a threat, and history as something best forgotten. Violet Cosmo remembers. At sixteen, she is the last living heir to the Most Ancient and Noble House of Cosmo—an unbroken lineage bound to forgotten stars and forbidden magic. Brilliant, ruthless, and unapologetically ambitious, Violet has no interest in the Ministry’s fragile order. Where others see peace, she sees weakness. Where others fear darkness, she sees a tool—one that, wielded correctly, could restore wizarding society to what it was always meant to be. Hidden within the heavily warded halls of Cosmo Manor, Violet prepares for a future the world refuses to imagine: one where power is reclaimed, traditions are reborn, and a new Dark Lady rises—not through madness or terror, but through precision, control, and inevitability. At her side stands Adelaide Rosier. Heiress to a disgraced pureblood house and daughter of a man who still clings to authority he does not deserve, Adelaide lives a life divided. Cold and calculating under her father’s watchful eye, she is something else entirely within Cosmo Manor’s walls—devoted, brilliant, and fiercely loyal to Violet alone. She harbors secrets of her own: a planned patricide, an unspoken love, and a destiny that binds her inexorably to Violet’s rise. As old families begin to stir, the Ministry grows uneasy, and ancient magic awakens beneath the stars, Violet and Adelaide find themselves standing at the threshold of a new era. One built not on fear, but on devotion. Not on chaos, but on design. And somewhere between ambition and affection, power and longing, two young witches move ever closer to a crown the world never saw coming. Because darkness does not die. It waits. And this time, it will rule in starlight.

Fate: I Just Want to Die and Sit on the Throne of Heroes

I crossed into the world of Type Moon and, for some reason, the Root itself recognized me. As long as I die an abnormal death, I can ascend to the Throne of Heroes and become its lord, an existence stronger and freer than even the Seven Grand Servants. So, in order to die, I started acting like a complete fool across the Nasuverse. I cursed Gilgamesh to his face in Uruk, challenged almighty Zeus in Greece, openly kidnapped Skadi in Northern Europe, proclaimed in Israel that Solomon was a demon god instead of a holy king, and even stood at Morgan’s side in Britain. Yet for some reason I am still alive. By 1994, Fuyuki City, history has given me a ridiculous list of titles: the third friend of the Most Ancient King, the first prime minister of Mesopotamia, the man favored by the Greek gods, the king of giants in Northern Europe, the incarnation of God who awakened Solomon’s humanity in Israel, the miracle worker supported by Prince Camelot. On top of the Fuyuki Bridge, a young yet world weary Lovi sits on the railing, staring at the city lights and sighing. “Tell me, what exactly went wrong? Or you could just kill me here and let me finally ascend to the Throne of Heroes. Please.” Kiritsugu Emiya lights a cigarette, glances at Artoria holding the Holy Spear, at the treasury of the King unfolding beside Gilgamesh, at the crimson spear tip reaching out from the distant Kingdom of Shadows. The cigarette in his hand trembles slightly.

(BL)Alpha Made

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)
