《Coffeeshop × Malum》IV. Strawberry Cheesecake
Advertisement
Even the baristas ended up catching on after a while on Michael's little scheme.
"And the same for you, crazy hair boy?" The girl asked before Michael even said a word. He bit his lip and nodded, running his fingers through his unkempt galaxy do.
"Okay. We need two Strawberry Cheesecake's!" The cashier directed towards her coworker.
The brunette beauty just shook his head as they went to make their orders.
"Why do you always copy me?" He spoke up after a moment, curiously.
Michael looked over and retorted, "How do you know you aren't reading my mind and copying me."
He scrunches up his nose in confusion and begins, "What? That doesn't even make sense-" before Michael cuts him off with a shrug.
"You're hot and have a good taste in drinks." He blurts out.
He blushes more furiously than Michael ever saw previously. Honestly, that should have been him considering what he just did.
Regardless, the boy didn't say anything for a moment in shock before he mumbled out, "You don't even know my name."
"Well then, what's your name? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."
He hesitated but eventually said. "It's Calum."
"Calum... that's nice, it fits you."
Calum snorted. "Well thanks, I guess. What's yours?" Michael was about to reply, but he continued, "No wait. Let me guess. Your name's Calum too?"
It took Michael a second to understand his joke, but when he did he replied back with equal sarcasm. "How'd you know!?" He gasped.
Calum just shook his head again. "Really though?"
"Okay, you're right. I'm not honored enough to be a Calum. My name's Michael. Or crazy hair boy apparently to everyone else." He grinned and held out a hand for Calum to shake.

Calum offered his hand in return. Michael definitely didn't take note of how firm and calloused, yet still soft, it was.
"Well, they're not wrong. But I think it looks cool." He replied, smiling and scanning his eyes over his colorful locks.
"Thank you. It's not as cool as it was a couple of weeks ago though. It's fading, I need to dye it again soon. Guess I should have started bothering you earlier, you could have seen it in it's prime."
Calum laughed a bit, "It still looks nice. Are you dyeing it that way again?"
"I don't know yet. Just like your drinks, I usually get something different each time. Trying to do them all." He smirked.

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence

Sacrifice
For generations, the coastal kingdom of Phimild has been plagued with waters infested with sirens. The viscious aquatic demigods armed with a song to bewitch the mind and strength to sink ships have a taste for human flesh and a tendency to fiercely protect their territory.

When a young woman finds herself shackled and out to sea, bound for a watery grave and a gruesome demise at the hands of demons said to prefer their meals with their hearts still beating, she is suddenly faced with the brutal reality of a barbaric tradition and the horrible truth of the sirens of the deep who rule the waters around her former home. But tensions are brewing on the shores and beneath the waves, and her sacrifice may just turn the tide and threaten to reignite the war that bled the waters red generations before.
