I'm a casual writer. ✧ Posting Speed: Varies. I can post once a day or multiple times. Depending on my work schedule. ✧ Experience Level: 20+ Welcome to my Grove. Enter willingly. Nothing here is taken. I am 25+, female, and a devoted reader of romance in all its forms. Desire is the foundation of my stories. Longing, tension, slow corruption, devotion earned through fire. Romance is never an afterthought here. It is the spell that binds everything together. All of my plots includes romance(not the sole focus), and where romance blooms, intimacy follows.I enjoy smut as much as anyone else who strays this far into the woods, but I have no interest in empty encounters. I want chemistry that crackles, words that linger, and characters who feel drawn together long before they ever touch. Dark, and twisted paths are welcome. Tragedy sharpens the blade. Loss, obsession, temptation, and ruin give stories weight. If it aches, if it threatens to break us, then the Grove is listening. I write MXF and play female characters. I’m here to build a world with you, to let the plot coil slowly, and to allow desire to grow like roots beneath the soil. Patient. Inevitable. If you seek atmosphere, desire, hunger, and romance that feels dangerous because it matters… Step closer, and offer yourself to the Temptress of the Grove[/COLOR] [/QUOTE] [hr] [CENTER][COLOR=#6f8f7b]❦ ❦ ❦[/COLOR][/CENTER] [hr] [CENTER][B][COLOR=#4f7c5c]LIKES & DISLIKES[/COLOR][/B][/CENTER] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8trB8R2.png[/img][/center] [QUOTE] [COLOR=#2f4f3e][B][COLOR=#6b8e23]🌿 Likes[/COLOR][/B][/COLOR] [LIST] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] MxFxM/Reverse Harem[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] Villain gets the girl [/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e]Enemies to lovers/Frenemies to lovers[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e]Fake Dating[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] Human x Supernatural/Monster romance[/COLOR] [/LIST] [COLOR=#2f4f3e][B][COLOR=#8b5e3c]🍂 Dislikes[/COLOR][/B][/COLOR] [LIST] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] Sci-Fi (I struggle to connect with it, though I do enjoy Aliens)[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] Smut without story[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#2f4f3e] Anthros as romantic/sexual partners(I don't mind ears, tails, horns, and shapeshifters)[/COLOR] [*] [/LIST] [/QUOTE] [hr] [CENTER][COLOR=#6f8f7b]❦ ❦ ❦[/COLOR][/CENTER] [hr] [CENTER][B][COLOR=#4f7c5c]STORY SEEDS[/COLOR][/B][/CENTER] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8trB8R2.png[/img][/center] [QUOTE] [COLOR=#2f4f3e][COLOR=#7b9e6b]🌙The Grove whispers for what it desires most:[/COLOR] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#2f4f3e][center][b] The Grove hungers for balance, for heat and devotion. It does not ask for simple pairings or ordinary love, but for connections that balance and intertwine. There, a woman may find herself cherished by two devoted hearts, one steady as roots, the other fierce as flame.​ The Grove knows that passion is most potent when shared, when loyalty and longing circle together, and when three willing hearts surrender to a single, irresistible pull.

Each is protected by a sacred artifact known as a Runebound Ring, and by the rare mage sworn to guard it, the Keeper. Her duty is simple in theory: protect the relic, maintain its power, and ensure the fortress never falls. To the crown she is an asset to be managed. To the court she is a curiosity to be watched. To enemies she is an obscure to be moved. To two very different men, she is impossible to ignore. When Kingdoms across Mordoth begin to mysteriously fail, panic spreads through the realm. Rings lose power, runes fall silent, and fortresses crumble from within. Following the trail carefully laid for her, the throne discovers its most important Keeper has left her post without authorization. Fearing sabotage or treachery, they dispatch their best to bring her back. The Shield - Captain of the Guard . Honorable, steady, unwavering discipline. His orders are clear: find the Keeper and return her safely to Vanshaven. The Blade - The Royal Enforcer. Known for his ruthless efficiency and colder reputation. His instructions are simpler, and far less gentle: ensure the ring does not fall into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. On the road, alliances shift and secrets unravel. Danger presses close. And the tension between Keeper, Shield, and Blade ignites into something fierce, heated, and gloriously reckless, as she discovers that power is not the only force capable of bringing a kingdom to its knees. War is rising. Betrayal waits in every shadow. And the bond growing between the three of them may be the only thing strong enough to save Mordoth… or burn it all to the ground.[/hider] [hider=The Third Roommate] [COLOR=#2f4f3e]After a messy breakup leaves her scrambling for a new place to live, she answer’s an ad for a gorgeous downtown apartment that sounds almost too good to be true. [i]It is[/i] Because it comes with two very attractive complications. The apartment belongs to two best friends since college, that have lived together for the past two years.

The consequences are not.[/color][/hider] [center][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8trB8R2.png[/IMG][/CENTER] [COLOR=#9c7a4f]🍄 Plot ideas:[/COLOR] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#2f4f3e]✦ [hider=The Art of Control - Slice of Life] He's a global rockstar, accustomed to being wanted. Desire trails him like an expectation, effortless and unquestioned. Drugs, bodies, temptation. It's all background noise until a private party on tour slips out of control. The fallout never reaches the public. But it's severe enough that his manager hires [B]her[/B]. A crisis cleaner brought in to contain the damage and keep him functional. Controlled. Unimpressed. Entirely immune to his charm. She doesn't want him. She doesn't need him. And she treats his magnetism like a liability instead of a gift. What begins as professional oversight turns into a slow, intoxicating power game. He's used to being desired. She's used to being obeyed. Every interaction tightens the tension, restraint brushing too close to intimacy, authority blurring into possession. And when control starts to feel like desire, both of them are forced to confront the same dangerous question: Who's really in control, and what happens when she decides she doesn't want to let go? [/hider] ✦ [hider=Heart of Flames - High Fantasy] Once, he was the Knight Commander of the Crimson Knights, fearless and unyielding, a living banner beneath which hope rallied. Now he was a broken man, his command ruined and his faith in himself fractured by a tragedy he could neither outrun nor forget. Though his skill with a blade remained lethal, guilt, drink, and recklessness had tarnished his leadership and driven him inward, leaving only a shadow of the man his soldiers once followed without question. She was always at his side. His First Captain. They grew up together, trained together, and swore their oaths beneath the same crimson banners. She followed him into the order without hesitation, admiring his strength, his conviction, and the man he was. Perhaps she loved him. Perhaps she still does. While he unraveled, she stayed, holding the Crimson Knights together through sheer will and loyalty. The realm is no longer safe. A corrupt King rules through fear, guided by a powerful sorceress whose influence spreads death and terror across the land. Villages burn, refugees flood the roads, and hope grows thin. As the Knight Commander retreats into his despair, the First Captain takes on the burden of leadership in all but name, protecting the people they both swore to defend and keeping the Knights and Kingdom from collapse. The Knights need their Commander. The realm needs him even more. Yet the greatest battle is not against the King or his sorceress, but against the ruin within his own soul. The question remains whether the Knight Commander can rise from the ashes of his failure, reclaim his blade and his purpose, and lead the Crimson Knights once more, or whether loyalty, love, and survival will force a reckoning neither of them is prepared to face.[/hider] ✦ [hider=War Bound and Wounded - High Fantasy/Monster Romance] She is one of the best healers in her kingdom, renowned for her ability to mend even the gravest wounds. But when her kingdom falls into conflict, she is captured along with other humans by a conquering orc army. Marked for execution, she expects death, but the Orc War Chief has other plans.

Her powers are different from their Shaman's magic Thrown into a tense, dangerous world, she must navigate captivity, the harsh rules of the Orc army, and the unpredictable War Chief whose motives are as dangerous as his strength. Survival may depend on her wits….. and maybe something more unexpected. [/hider] ✦ [hider=The Fox Spirit's Bride - High Fantasy/Supernatural] When she becomes lost among shifting paths and whispering trees, a beautiful stranger appears golden eyed, soft voiced, and far too calm for someone wandering the woods at night. He offers her guidance, safe passage, and protection from the spirits that stalk humans after dark. For a price. A simple contract, he says. A harmless binding, he insists. Just a small promise in exchange for his help. The contract was a marriage bond, cleverly worded in ancient fox magic. Her "guide" is no human at all, but a six-tailed kitsune who needs a bride to complete a powerful ritual, one that will earn him his seventh tail. Now she is tied to him by magic, bound to his den and his world of illusion. He is cunning, possessive, and far too pleased with himself… but also deeply invested in keeping her alive and close. She must navigate fox politics, jealous spirits, and a husband who lies beautifully and who refuses to release her until the ritual is complete. He says it's just business. She says it's manipulation. But the more time she spends with him, the more she starts to see glimmers of something beneath his tricks. And the more he fears that when she learns the full truth… she'll run. And this time, he won't let her go.[/hider] ✦ [hider="Warden's Claim: The Last Seer - Urban Fantasy/ Sex focused plot] This plot involves heavy world building, please see my separate thread for it [/hider] ✦ [hider=Last Call for Mercy - Dark Romance] [COLOR=#2f4f3e][center]Late-night shifts, cheap tips, and neon lights.

But after witnessing a murder inside the club after hours, her ordinary life collapses. The bar is not what she believed. The man who owns it is not who he pretends to be. And the violence hiding behind polished smiles is far closer than she ever imagined. The first rule of bartending is simple: don’t listen. By breaking that rule, she’s pulled into the city’s underworld and becomes the focus of a dangerous man’s attention. His mercy feels like a cage, and the more she tries to keep her distance, the deeper his obsession and control slip into every corner of her world. You don’t escape men like him. In his world, mercy always comes with a price. And she is about to learn the cost.
