DIANA'S high heels clicked down Madison Avenue, shopping bags in hand and a compelled human holding the rest behind her. She knew it was slightly unethical, but she really couldn't care less because he was giving her extra hands.

She had descended from her place on Olympus two days before to get away from the Gods that were hounding her. Since her ascension, and simultaneously her separation, Ares and Hecate had introduced her to one to many people. Unfortunately, she had way to many family members and it was weird to think about.

So, she fled to get away from the hectic environment. Now she was in a new hectic environment and it was wonderful.

She always did like New York, with the bustling people and the racing cars creating a wind to brush through her hair. Every other problem seemed to fade away when she was there.

However, she tended to go to New York with Nik. It was odd not having him there. She quickly dismissed the thought as she continued to roam the Upper East Side, buying a few new items before leading her shadow to her hotel. By the time they arrived, the sun was setting and the city lights were becoming more prominent.

Diana felt slightly more guilty as he carefully dropped her purchases in her suite, seeing him slightly out of breath. She sighed and spoke, "Thank you for your help. You're very kind."

Tipping him a $100, she sent him on his way and looked at the bags around her in contemplation. She made a quick decision to change into a black dress and new heels.

The hybrid made her way down to the hotel bar and immediately ordered herself a martini. Diana glanced around at the bar, taking in the dark atmosphere created by the low lighting. She was pretty sure she could slide into one of the booths with another person and feed from them without anyone noticing. Thinking about it made her throat burn with the thirst for blood and she sighed.

On Olympus there were no humans— obviously— so she practically lived on ambrosia which dulled the burn to next to nothing. But now that she was back, she was ravenous.

Before she could pull the next person she saw over, a man slid into the chair beside her, giving her a wide smirk. Diana instantly rolled her eyes, already catching a whiff of his intentions, "Not interested."

His smirk widened into a stupid grin and his eyes lit with excitement. He seemed to take it as a challenge as his hand slid to her thigh, "Come on sweetheart. I'm sure you and me can get to know one another."

"You and I," she corrected, with boredom, "You barely know second-grade English what makes you think you can 'get to know me'. Now leave before I crack your skull on this countertop."

She turned and gave him a deadpan glare, flashing her bloodred eyes that sent his heart racing— and not with lust. His hand was gone in an instant, and as he hurried away from her, he sent her terrified glances.

"You always did know how to scare them," a voice said from behind her.

The eloquent calm settled over her and Diana tried and failed to stop the smile tugging at her lips. She glanced over and smiled wider, "Elijah."

"Ana. Do you mind if I sit, or are you going to crack my skull on the countertop?"

"Seat's all yours."

He unbuttoned his jacket and removed it. Diana's gaze followed his movements as he draped it over the back of the chair and sat down.

"What a surprise. Holiday?" she questioned, angling her body toward him as she sipped from her martini.

Elijah smiled to himself, "I guess you could call it that. You know how my siblings are."

"Oh, yes I do," she chuckled.

"Then you see why I'm here," he replied.

Diana nodded as the bartender came over. Elijah ordered whiskey and as he walked off, Elijah questioned, "May I ask, what you're doing here?"

"Olympus got a bit overwhelming," Diana shrugged simply, "Needed some time apart from the Gods to... recuperate."

"I'm sure it's not all that bad," Elijah mused, thanking the bartender as he gripped the whiskey glass.

"It's not. I've just got too much family. The more I think about it, the more I'm grossed out. I've got more siblings than I can count and my aunt/best friend can also be classed as my stepmother with the amount of kids my Dad has with her."

Elijah merely chuckled to himself.

"It's not funny," she objected, though she was laughing herself.

"I apologise. What hardship you have, sitting in a palace every day," teased the Original.

Diana couldn't help but smile, "I'll have you know, it's not all that it's cracked up to be. I have duties."

"Duties?" he mused.

"Yes. As the Goddess of Manipulation, I'm required to be at royal trials. And they happen pretty often. You would think being a God you'd have everything but... it's not the case," she shook her head, sipping.

"What do you do at these trials?"

"I encase criminals in magic and force them into admitting every bad thing they've ever done. Even things that have nothing to do with the trial," Diana replied, her voice dropping, "The Gods are serial adulterers."

"I'm not that surprised. We've all heard the tales. Zeus, the King of the Gods. Master cheater."

"Shhh," Diana said quietly, dropping her voice to a whisper, "Hera listens to everything mortals say."

"I guess we're safe then," he smirked.

"I guess so," Diana copied the smirk as her eyes roamed his person. He'd cropped his hair again since the last time she'd seen him and as always his crisp suit was immaculate, "How have you been Elijah?"

"Surviving. Just."

"You Mikaelsons..." Diana shook her head, "Always fighting something."

Elijah raised his brows in acknowledgement, "We have a lot of enemies."

"Believe me, I know," Diana laughed, "Is that why you got away?"

"Yes. Niklaus has seemed to get himself in a bit of trouble and as usual, I'm on my way to save him. Rebekah has disregarded him and is perusing the Caribbean. I have been here for the last two weeks and I just happened to have seen you as I passed. Lucky me."

Diana turned, lips parted in a wide smile, "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were flirting, Mr Mikaelson."

"You don't. I was."

"Forward," she smirked, "Must be a first. I very much like it."

"I've always been forward. Just never with you."

"Because of Klaus?" Diana asked, tilting her head. He didn't let it go unnoticed that she called him Klaus, which she never used to do.

"Yes. He's a rather jealous man."

"Nothing to be jealous of now," Diana replied, finishing off her martini.

"I'm not sure he'd appreciate me flirting with his wife," Elijah stated bashfully, seemingly remembering what he was doing and who he was with.

"Ex-wife, he's lost the privilege," Diana shifted more to face him and he glanced at her, "When have you ever cared about what Klaus would or would not appreciate?"

"He's my brother."

Diana hummed, gathering her phone and standing, "The noble Elijah. How strong of a heart you must have to not be swayed by a woman trying to seduce you."

She turned and he stood, grabbing her arm and pulling her into his chest, "Seduce me?" Diana merely hummed, "I don't believe such a thing is needed."

"Ooh? Secret crush?" her eyes twinkled with a mixture of amusement and lust.

Elijah shrugged, "Not that secret. Your brother seemed to pick up on it quite quickly."

"Oh yes," Diana recalled the dinner party they'd attended with Damon, "Damon's always been good at that. Protect me from the boys and all that nonsense. But I can take care of myself. And guess what? I'm nobody but yours to admire."

Elijah's lips twitched into a smile and her eyes were drawn to them. As he leaned down she pulled back, "Eager are we?"

"With you? Yes."

As he leaned in again, she let their lips meet. Elijah's hand dropped from her wrist to pull her closer by the waist as his lips explored hers. There was no turning back now, she was fully in the depths of bad decisions, but Gods did it feel good.

She had that weakness in the knees that made her feel like jelly and the blood rushing through her veins was like fire.

Diana pulled away quickly as she remembered where they were. Elijah's face clouded and she witnessed his guard returning. Diana smiled at him before tugging him toward the elevator.

His confusion was evident as they stepped inside. Diana pressed the button for her floor and turned back to him as the doors closed. Gripping him by the back of the neck, she pulled him down to meet her again as they met in a bruising kiss.

Elijah's hands immediately gripped her waist tightly, to the point where pain mixed with the desire pooling in her stomach. As the fingers of her other hand fisted his shirt, he seemed to be spurred on, walking backwards and pressing her against the side of the elevator.

Diana released a small whimper into his mouth and Elijah practically fed on it like it was blood. The small reminder of it caused his lips to travel, breaking from her own and pressing against her jaw feverishly.

The Goddess' head immediately tilted to accommodate him and he continued his way down the column of her throat. As he sucked on the junction between her jaw and neck, she let out a small moan.

Elijah's head lifted and he shot her a smug smirk. Diana flushed, "Shut up and kiss me."

The elevator dinged and Diana led the way toward her suite. Quickly opening the door, the two stumbled in as they kissed. Once the door was closed, Diana pressed the Original against it, shoving his suit jacket from his shoulders and tossing it away.

Elijah couldn't help but let his face flush as she unbuttoned his shirt and removed that too. His gaze wandered to the open room behind her and he pulled her into his grasp, picking her up. Diana yelped in surprise but it was quickly smothered by his hungry lips.

Dropping her on the bed, Elijah couldn't help but stare. Diana assessed the heaviness in his gaze as it roamed her body before his hands reached out to bunch her dress upward, "Let's get this off shall we?"

Diana allowed him to remove her dress, tossing it somewhere in the room. She wasn't wearing a bra and his fingers brushed over her hardened nipples.

She shuddered under his touch and he smirked, "So responsive." He knelt at her feet and slowly pulled off her heels before he kissed his way along her leg and to the tops of her thighs.

The woman let her head fall back as his fingers brushed her clit; a feather-light teasing that had her sighing in contentment regardless. Elijah's eyes met hers as his fingers found the lace of her underwear.

Diana nodded and he rid her of the garment instantly, his lustful eyes boring holes into her body, "You're so wet for me, darling," he spoke before burying his head between her legs and devouring her like a man starved. She let out a wanton moan and it spurred him on.

She could feel herself sinking further and further into the pleasure as her senses came alive. Her enhanced hearing picked up on the obscene sounds of Elijah's movements and her sight seemed to blur and cause her to see stars. Everything was shocking to the touch as she fisted the bedsheets beneath her and she could taste the whiskey Elijah had upon her lips.

Diana let out another moan as Elijah's large fingers slipped inside, curling in the most perfect way. The pressure was becoming intense and just before it snapped, he pulled away.

Her breathing was laboured as she rose to her elbows and looked down at him, "Stop teasing me."

"I find your squirming amusing," he responded as a smirk crossed his lips.

"Elijah," the Goddess frowned, throwing her head back in frustration. She didn't get a chance to say anything more before he was on her.

As it was the first time, Elijah pulled away just before she could reach the heights of her pleasure. By the third time, she was thoroughly on the edge.

"Stop it," she whined.

"How could I ever deny you when you ask me so eloquently?" Elijah asked, raising an eyebrow in expectancy.

"Please let me come, 'Lijah," she practically begged.

"Was that so hard?"

Diana was tempted to say yes but then he'd probably prolong it even more. So she kept her mouth shut as Elijah reattached his lips to her clit and sucked deeply. Her back arched as a moan slipped from her lips.

As the edge neared, she was glad that he had kept her on that precipice for so long because, as she tumbled into the depths of pleasure, everything felt so much better.

"Fuck, Elijah," she muttered incoherently between her loud moans. Elijah's eyes flicked up to watch as she came apart and he could've sworn he got harder, if that was even possible.

When she came down from the high, her body still trembled with the aftershocks of her orgasm.

Elijah hadn't removed himself from between her legs, and his fingers were circling her clit gently causing her to jolt from the overstimulation as he pressed kisses along the top of her thighs.

Diana felt the brush of his fangs and whimpered, wanting to feel them sink into her skin.

Elijah's head lifted and stood from his place kneeling on the ground. Diana watched in anticipation as he unbuckled his belt quickly and shoved his trousers and boxers down his muscular thighs.

A smirk worked its way onto her lips as she realised how hard he was. His tip was red and already leaking pre-cum, causing her smirk to widen. She pulled him back to her and wrapped a hand around his cock, her thumb ghosting over the head and smearing the arousal.

Elijah's head dropped forward and a low groan left his lips that caused a tremble to run down her spine. As Diana's hand moved he grunted, becoming putty in her soft hands.

He was trying extremely hard not to cum right there and it was paining him to put in so much effort.

Elijah quickly pulled her hand off of him and spoke lowly, "If you keep doing that, I'm not going to last."

"I don't want you to," Diana replied, kneeling on the bed to wrap her arms around his neck.

"Fuck me," he muttered.

"I'm trying to."

He chuckled and they shared a smile before Diana pressed her lips to his. If Elijah didn't know that everything about their situation was wrong, he would've assumed she was in love with him. The way her lips moulded against his own and her tongue teased his own gently. Her fingers had curled into the hairs at the base of his neck and tugged gently causing a ripple of pleasure to go through his body.

Elijah pushed her backwards and she laid back on the bed, without breaking the kiss. Hooking her leg around his waist, Diana urged him closer.

As he slipped inside her, the two let out simultaneous groans against each other's lips. Elijah parted from her to bury his head in the crook of her neck and take in the scent of her blood to keep himself grounded as he slammed into her. In hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea as he turned feral, pounding into her with an almost animalistic need.

Diana was left gasping as her brain malfunctioned and she saw stars. Elijah's lips attached to her neck before he muttered against her skin, "You're taking me so well darling. You like taking my cock don't you?"

"Fuck, yes, Elijah. Oh fuck!" Diana moaned as her nails clawed at his broad shoulders and raked down his back. The sting of it caused his breathing to stutter and it was gone just as quickly as it came as the skin healed.

Elijah shifted, rolling onto his back and causing her to straddle him. He wanted to see her above him like the Goddess she was.

Diana felt him sink deeper with the new angle and shuddered, "Fuck, that's so good."

"Keep your hips moving, darling," Elijah said, his hands gripping her hips tightly, that she was pretty sure they'd bruise if she was human. As his hands guided her up and down his cock, he groaned, "Just like that. Good girl."

She clenched around him at that and he chuckled, lifting one hand to pinch her nipples. He enjoyed the strangled moan she let out as he continued to speak, "You like when I call you that? My good girl."

"Fuck," she whimpered as her legs shook.

His own hips thrusted up to meet her and she cried out as her orgasm continued to build. She was on the verge of falling again and Elijah could tell by the way she was clenching around him like he was her lifeline.

"That's it, darling. Cum for me," he encouraged, feeling his own climax coming. Sitting up, he sucked at the point between her neck and shoulder and she cried out as his fangs pierced her skin.

The pain and pleasure blurred together and Diana felt as though she had died and gone to the Elysian Fields. Her body trembled in his hold as the orgasm strongly washed over her.

Diana grabbed Elijah's wrist in her haze, sinking her own fangs into it and drawing blood into her mouth. The taste was immaculate, sweet and tangy and perfectly Elijah.

The Original's movements stilled beneath her and she felt warmth spread through her as he shot hot cum deep inside her. The feeling made her body twitch with the aftershocks of her own orgasm and she released his wrist, collapsing against his chest.

The two breathed heavily together as the high faded. Elijah looked down at her and smiled, pushing away the damp strands of hair from her face.

"You're so beautiful," he said pressing a kiss to her lips.

Diana merely hummed, her body exhausted from their activities. He chuckled, lifting her off of him and resting her gently in the bed. His eyes drifted down and he felt desire sweep back into him as he saw his cum dripping out and smearing her thighs.

With apt focus, he gathered it on his fingers and pushed it back inside, flicking her clit whilst doing so.

Diana whimpered, "Elijah..."

"Shh, darling. Just don't want it to go to waste," he muttered, kissing her forehead and walking into the bathroom.

When he came back he had a warm wet cloth in his hand. He wiped away the remnants of blood from her neck before cleaning between her thighs.

Afterwards, he came back and found her, eyes closed and breathing slowing. He shifted the sheets and slipped her beneath them before joining her.

Diana immediately curled into his side and wrapped her leg around his possessively as she rested her head on his chest.

Elijah wrapped his arms around her and stroked her bare back softly. He heard the distant pinging of his phone but disregarded it as Diana lifted her head tiredly and smiled at him.

"What?" he questioned.

"Nothing," she replied before kissing him again and returning her head to the same spot.

[thelikesoffinn]

You play visual novel! Can you give me recommendation? I just started playing them and I'm looking for good once

Haha, yeah I do. Occasionally, at least.

I really enjoy the "Our Life" games by GBPatch Games - they're probably my all time favourite. Trouble Comes Twice by Foxglove Games, something I played recently, was also really fun.

If you can get your hands on it really dirt cheap, maybe check out Bustafellows. It's not that good, but the art is great and it does have its moments!

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is also amazing, if you're into a little law and order gedohns.

If you like Scifi, maybe check out Andromeda Six by Wanderlust Games - also a game I hold really dear - or Infinite Stars.

If you're into vampires, I'd 100% recommend both Vampire The Masquerate - Courteries of New York and Vampire the Masquerade - Shadows of New York. Thinking about it, I should probably replay those...

Fantasy-wise I really enjoyed When The Night Comes by Lunaris Games.

Scarlet Hollow and Slay The Princess by Black Tabby Games are really neat if you're into horror. And Touchstarved by Red Spring Studios is still a Demo for now, but it's already super neat! Oh and XOXO Blood Droplets by GB Patch Games is also fun to play if you like whacky, horror-leaning stuff!

And I guess that's all I have so far! Sorry it's not more, I'm sure you've heard of most of those already. I'm super picky with my visual novels so I don't play a whole lot of them, haha.

[nalyra-dreaming]

Is there any sort of supporting vampire index? I read the first five books back in high school and have been slowly making my way through the entire series (currently mid merrick) this year. But recently it feels like every other day someone brings up an important character from the later books that already appeared, or was implied in the show.

Nonny, you're in luck :)

Anne herself provides us with one in "Prince Lestat" and in "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis" :) Obviously the short descriptions refer to the book versions. I would take note of Sevraine (who is Gabrielle's implied girlfriend later on!), Seth and especially Fareed, and definitely Rhoshamandes and Amel here. Gregory, too. And Viktor (whose summary does not contain the reveal btw) and Rose. These at the very least :) - let me know if you want to know more details!

I'll paste the character list from PLatRoA here! SPOILERS though - so under the cut!

Characters and Places in the Vampire Chronicles

Akasha—Queen of ancient Egypt six thousand years ago, and the first vampire ever created, through a merger with the spirit Amel. The story is told in The Vampire Lestat and in The Queen of the Damned.

Allesandra—A Merovingian princess, daughter of King Dagobert I, brought into the Blood in the seventh century by Rhoshamandes. First introduced in The Vampire Lestat as a mad nameless vampire living with the Children of Satan under Les Innocents Cemetery in Paris. She also appears in The Vampire Armand in the Renaissance where she is named, and later in Prince Lestat and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis.

Amel—A spirit who created the first vampire six thousand years ago by merging with the body of the Egyptian Queen Akasha. The story is told in The Vampire Lestat and in The Queen of the Damned. Prince Lestat and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis continue the story of Amel.

Antoine—A French musician exiled from Paris to Louisiana and brought into the Blood by Lestat around the middle of the nineteenth century. Referred to as “the musician” in Interview with the Vampire. Later appears in Prince Lestat and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis. A talented violinist and pianist and composer.

Arion—A black vampire of ancient times introduced in Blackwood Farm. At least two thousand years old, perhaps older. Possibly from India.

Arjun—A prince of the Chola dynasty in India, brought into the Blood by Pandora around 1300. Appears in Blood and Gold and also in Pandora.

Armand—One of the pillars of the Vampire Chronicles. Armand is a Russian from Kiev, sold into slavery as a boy, and made a vampire in Renaissance Venice by the Vampire Marius. He is introduced in Interview with the Vampire, and appears in numerous novels in the Vampire Chronicles, telling his own story in The Vampire Armand. The founder of the coven at Trinity Gate in New York. Armand maintains a house in Paris in Saint-Germain-des- Prés, which functions as the Paris Court for Prince Lestat.

Avicus—An Egyptian vampire who first appears in Marius’s memoir, Blood and Gold. Appears again in Prince Lestat.

Benedict—A Christian monk of the seventh century in France, brought into the Blood by Rhoshamandes. Benedict is the vampire from whom the alchemist Magnus stole the Blood, a theft described in The Vampire Lestat. Appears in Prince Lestat and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis as Rhoshamandes’s companion and lover.

Non-Exhaustive List of Soulmate Fics: Klaroline Pt 2

Okay, I'm bored so I'm compiling my favorite soulmate fics. Here's the Klaroline edition:

All I Need by emeraldvixen

Summary:

In which I vaguely follow TVD canon and write the soulmate/werewolf mating AU which absolutely no one asked for. OR The one in which Klaus finds his soulmate, gets bitten, hides his mating mark from her and waits for the day she'll let him give her one back. Fluffy, mildly angsty slow burn with possible super hot hybrid smut in later chapters. *Nominated for a KC Award in the Best Smut Multi-Chapter category*

With Roses in my Hands by emeraldvixen

Summary:

Soulmate AU inspired by a Tumblr post, in which anything you paint on your skin appears on your soulmates skin too. I believe the original poster is let-gavin-free. Winner of the 2020 KC Award in the Best AU supernatural one-shot category.

Entanglement by sunshineandfangs (Avana)

Summary:

Soulmates were a complicated phenomenon that no one quite understood, as neither science nor magic nor ambitious combinations of the two could definitively explain how the connection worked. But for the most part, people were happy to have soulmates: platonic, romantic, multiple, or otherwise. Then there were the exceptions... Unfortunately, Caroline Forbes had one Niklaus Mikaelson as her soulmate, and no amount of advanced warning could really prepare her. Unfortunately for Niklaus Mikaelson, no one saw fit to warn him of the force of nature that was his soulmate.

Jar of Hearts by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

In a society where vampire allegiance is worn openly on their skin, Caroline Forbes is anomaly. She woke from transition marked by a single triangle. For six decades, she's hidden the truth of her allegiance, refusing to abandon what family she has left. Klaus Mikaelson's sudden appearance in Chicago bodes well for no one. For Klaus has spent five hundred years burying the truth of his curse, given as bloody vengeance for the death of Katerina. Klaus has a soulmate.

A Thousand Years and then Some by slstmaraudersjple

Summary:

"C'mon love, what's a little murder between soulmates?" Klaus discovers his soulmate as he kills her. Unbeknownst to him, she dies with vampire blood in her system and returns as a vampire. Unfortunately for him, she leaves Mystic Falls and spends the next couple centuries running from him. Never let it be said that they weren't stubborn. One-shot. Or, in which the Caroline and Klaus discover that they are soulmates when Klaus kills her, and a displeased newly born baby vampire spends the next couple centuries running from him and his family while living in denial. But the Mikaelsons play the long game, and they play for keeps… and that includes Caroline. Klaroline featuring the Mikaelson siblings (no Freya).

No Rest for the Wicked by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

When Bonnie goes missing, Caroline returns to New York City in the hope that she can find her before their past catches up. But New York's supernatural underbelly is ruled by the unforgiving Mikaelson Syndicate. With nightmares awaiting around every corner, complications arise when a simple one night stand changes everything.

Burn For Me by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

Ambassador Caroline Forbes is returning home to take up the mantle as Princess and to marry her betrothed, Tyler Lockwood. But a rest stop quickly becomes a problem, as she finds herself dealing with not only dragon claiming magic, but the dragon.

Standing Outside of Heaven by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

When Caroline Forbes is sixteen, she's cursed by a demon. Forced to flee from her coven, she learns that not all curses are what they appear, and that demons can take many forms. Including the shape of her soul mate.

I have a Story Stuck in my Head!

Hybrids Mafia Princess Series

I want to know if anyone thinks of something similar because this one has been running through my head for months. You know the story you tell in your head to fall asleep to? This has been mine for a while.

Mafia!Bucky Barnes and his girl have been together for years now and have a daughter, she has been the light of her fathers life since the day she was born, spoiled rotten.

As she got older though they grew apart, Bucky having no clue what to do with a teenage daughter, he still adores her of course, but she feels as if he has forgotten about her for years…

Cue Klaus Mikaelson!

Y/n meets Klaus at some party her father is forced to bring his wife and daughter to, schmoozing with all of the political idiots New York has to offer and Klaus (who has only recently broken his curse mind you) realizes that Y/n is his wolfs mate, one he has craved since the day he first killed and turned into a werewolf over 1000 years ago.

Klaus introduces himself, getting his girl a drink and flirting, barely noticing all of the looks he receives from the men around the room who all know better than to get that close to James Barnes daughter. They end up in a corner talking about anything and everything, both of them loving how honest they are able to be with each other for what feels like the first time ever, until of course one of her fathers men shows up. She quickly tells Steve to fuck off before pulling Klaus outside, insisting he leaves, giving him time to get away from her father and though Klaus doesn’t care about the man, he sees her fear and he does as she asks.

Later that night, after her mother scolded her all the way home for leaving her security (something that she’s sure was really her fathers issue but he had forced her mother to bring it up, making her feel like her father was avoiding her again) she hears a knock on her window and opens it to find her sexy Hybrid waiting for her to invite him in. They spend the whole night talking and Klaus tells her everything, knowing that his mate would be the one person that wouldn’t judge him or leave him. Y/n also told Klaus about her life, about who her father is and how she feels unloved by him and trapped in this house, and Klaus swears to save her, promises to give her a life away from her fathers business and cruelty (not that Klaus’ cruelty is any better but at least he won’t ever let her wonder whether he loves her or not, she will always know and that is a comfort to her in every way she needed).

One of Bucky’s men sees Klaus sneaking out her window before dawn and informs his boss, running a background check on the man and finding 5 different identities, this convinces Bucky that the man was sent by one of his enemies to hurt him by getting to his daughter. Bucky berates her for being so stupid to fall for this and though she knows the truth she can’t tell him about Klaus, she swore she would tell no one and she won’t break her promise. Bucky breaks Y/n’s heart, believing her so dumb and naive but she allows him to think this of her, already believing her father hates her anyway, which is why she does not hesitate to run away with Klaus later that night.

Bucky searches for her for months, his heart broken at the idea that his daughter thought she was unloved by him. He needed her to know that it wasn’t true and he was just an idiot who didn’t know how to care for a teenage girl. Eventually he finds a man who had been dealing with Klaus lately, clearly not knowing that he was a vampire and ending up injured beside Steve with the rest of his men all slaughtered.

It’s then that Y/n shows up, more beautiful than Bucky had ever seen her, screaming at the creature and demanding he explain why he believed he had the right to harm her family, shocking Bucky and Steve both at how terrified this man was of her. They quickly realized however that it wasn’t really Y/n that he was afraid of as Klaus shows up…

Honestly I have many different endings to that story at this point but it’s been rotting my brain for a while now so I thought ‘maybe someone else will like it too’ and here we are🤣

Crystal's 2024 Favorites

This year was full of awesome new young adult books and as usual it was difficult to figure out which ones would make my list of favorites. There were about ten that stood out, but these are the final four that really made a lasting impression and I would highly recommend.

The Quince Project by Jessica Parra [Our Group Discussion] Wednesday Books

Castillo Torres, Student Body Association event chair and serial planner, could use a fairy godmother. After a disastrous mishap at her sister’s quinceañera, all of Cas’s plans are crumbling. So when a local lifestyle-guru-slash-party-planner opens up applications for the internship of her dreams, Cas sees it as the perfect opportunity to learn every trick in the book so that things never go wrong again.

The only catch is that she needs more party planning experience before she can apply. When she books a quinceañera for a teen Disneyland vlogger, Cas thinks her plan is taking off…until she discovers that the party is just a publicity stunt and she begins catching feelings for the chambelán. As her agenda begins to go off-script, Cas finds that real life may be more complicated than a fairy tale.

But maybe Happily Ever Afters aren’t just for the movies. Can Cas go from planner to participant in her own life? Or will this would-be princess turn into a pumpkin at the end of the ball?

Dragonfruit by Makiia Lucier [Crystal's Review] Clarion Books

In the old tales, it is written that the egg of a seadragon, dragonfruit, holds within it the power to undo a person’s greatest sorrow. But as with all things that offer hope when hope had gone, the tale came with a warning.

Every wish demands a price.

Hanalei of Tamarind is the cherished daughter of an old island family. But when her father steals a seadragon egg meant for an ailing princess, she is forced into a life of exile. In the years that follow, Hanalei finds solace in studying the majestic seadragons that roam the Nominomi Sea. Until, one day, an encounter with a female dragon offers her what she desires most. A chance to return home, and to right a terrible wrong.

Samahtitamahenele, Sam, is the last remaining prince of Tamarind. But he can never inherit the throne, for Tamarind is a matriarchal society. With his mother ill and his grandmother nearing the end of her reign. Sam is left with two choices: to marry, or to find a cure for the sickness that has plagued his mother for ten long years. When a childhood companion returns from exile, she brings with her something he has not felt in a very long time-hope.

But Hanalei and Sam are not the only ones searching for the dragonfruit. And as they battle enemies both near and far, there is another danger they cannot escape…that of the dragonfruit itself.

A Tempest of Tea (Blood and Tea #1) by Hafsah Faizal Farrar, Straus and Giroux

On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by dark, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it—and she can’t do the job alone.

Calling on some of the city’s most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the dark and glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it.

From the New York Times–bestselling author of We Hunt the Flame comes the first book in a hotly-anticipated fantasy duology teeming with romance, revenge, and an orphan girl willing to do whatever it takes to save her self-made kingdom. Dark, action-packed, and swoonworthy, this is Hafsah Faizal better than ever.

A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur [Crystal's Review] Feiwel & Friends

Hope is dangerous. Love is deadly.

1506, Joseon. The people suffer under the cruel reign of the tyrant King Yeonsan, powerless to stop him from commandeering their land for his recreational use, banning and burning books, and kidnapping and horrifically abusing women and girls as his personal playthings.

Seventeen-year-old Iseul has lived a sheltered, privileged life despite the kingdom’s turmoil. When her older sister, Suyeon, becomes the king’s latest prey, Iseul leaves the relative safety of her village, traveling through forbidden territory to reach the capital in hopes of stealing her sister back. But she soon discovers the king’s power is absolute, and to challenge his rule is to court certain death.

Prince Daehyun has lived his whole life in the terrifying shadow of his despicable half-brother, the king. Forced to watch King Yeonsan flaunt his predation through executions and rampant abuse of the common folk, Daehyun aches to find a way to dethrone his half-brother once and for all. When staging a coup, failure is fatal, and he’ll need help to pull it off—but there’s no way to know who he can trust.

When Iseul’s and Daehyun’s fates collide, their contempt for each other is transcended only by their mutual hate for the king. Armed with Iseul’s family connections and Daehyun’s royal access, they reluctantly join forces to launch the riskiest gamble the kingdom has ever seen:

Save her sister. Free the people. Destroy a tyrant.

Greetings! Welcome to my 2024 reading wrap up! Or my awards ceremony for books (and bookish media) I enjoyed the most. Looking back to my introduction to this post last year, I wrote that I'd try to write better reviews. I didn't do that. And I'd try to better remember what I read. I didn't to that either. Hmmm ... New year, new luck or something. Nevertheless, thank you to everyone who took time to look at my posts and read some of them! May the good books find you!

The one goal I accomplished 2024 was to read less (reading is fun but I have other things that need doing unfortunately), though it was not necessarily out of my own free will. I was just tired (work was annoying). I read a total of 64 books, including two graphic novels (not counting any manga), four non-fiction books and three audiobooks. 13 were borrowed from the library and 18 were sequels or spin-offs. I only DNFed one book and disliked two more (as if not to say, I hated them with a passion~).

The only pieces related to literature I hated more were two plays I saw: adaptions of Oscar Wildes's The Importance of Being Earnest and Eugène Ionesco's The Bald Soprano. I like both pieces but the adaptions had atrocious endings (The Importance of Being Earnest suddenly had vampires out of nowhere and The Bald Soprano had its final scene edited to 20 minutes of telling us how important love is ...) I didn't think I could walk out of a theatre that appalled and filled with hatred.

Worst Books:

Heir to Thorn and Flame (Ben Alderson)

Saint Sorrow Sinner (Freydís Moon)

Favorite Character: Patrick Collins (A Ferry of Bones & Gold/Soulbound series) (let's be honest, it's the same type every year)

Favorite Covers (or maybe: just give me a pretty illustration):

Memorable Quote: "If it can learn to talk, then it can learn to be good." (The Prince of Nowhere)

Highest Emotional Investment (aka The cutest shit and please please please don't break my heart Award): Prince of Fortune

The Wildest:

A Ferry of Bones and Gold

Running Close to the Wind

That's it! While 2024 was not my best year, in terms of books I'm still content. I'm pretty good at picking the ones I will enjoy, so I usually have fun reading and what else would I want? I will continue to read in 2025 (not sure in which form I will share here yet), and I will continue to write! None of the aspec books really captured what I wanted to read, so I guess I have to start writing that myself. :'D Here's to hoping that you find the books you want and the books you need this year. Happy 2025!
