Peter finally received a day off from the studio. He was filming everyday and most times it went later than expected. It didn't bother you as much as it did him. You lived together so you saw each other more than if you had still lived separate but it just made you feel bad when he was so tired but was still expected to give his all.
On his day off he wanted to take it easy. Naturally, you agreed. You spent the morning together in the pool. He would hold you close and kiss your shoulder. You would backstroke into the side wall where he would hold you still and give you a kiss.
After swimming, you'd lay on the couch while he answered some fan mail. He had boxes filled with letters and pictures to sign. One would think it was a chore but not Peter, he enjoyed it whenever he could, but it had been a while since he had the opportunity. You started drifting off to sleep when you heard chuckling. Naturally, you thought he was laughing at you. So you groaned, squinting your eyes to look over at the snickering man who shook his head and kept writing away, in his own little world.
"Nice boyfriend." You joked while rolling over to face away from him.
"Oh darling I wasn't laughing at you, it's this letter, this man has a great sense of humor." he continued to chuckle. He sealed the envelope and put it in a separate pile. He walked over to the back of the couch and leaned over.
He stroked your cheek with his fingers while your eyes started to close.
"Wanna go upstairs and take a nap with me?" He asked quietly, you nodded, yawning while standing up. You followed him up the stairs slowly until you made it into your bedroom.

You laid down on your side of the bed and curled up to your pillow. Peter got in after you and wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you close.
"What I'd give to get more of these days more often." he hummed into your ear. You rolled over to face him and looked into his eyes.
You smiled while playing with his short brown hair, "I know the movie will end up being fantastic, just like always."
"I hope so." he started to close his eyes, you scooted closer and laid your head against his chest, hearing his heart beat next to your ear. It was your favorite lullaby.
Even while he was sleeping, he still had his protective embrace over you. He never wanted anything bad to happen to you. It caused him a great deal of anxiety when he was away filming for many hours at a time, and would often call you during any break he had, just to make sure you were okay.
You peppered kisses all down his neck and jawline. Pulling away to look at his face. He was still asleep but must've been dreaming, his face was distorted into one that nearly broke your heart. His lip was pouty, his eyebrows pressed together, a single tear falling.
"Peter, darling." You kissed the crook of his neck and you started to shake him. Nothing.
"Peter." you shook him again. Nothing.
"Baby, are you okay?" You shook him a little harder, then finally he woke up, his eyes wide and his face filled with relief.
"Peter, were you having a nightmare?" He sat up and nodded.
"What was it about?" You cradled him, he leaned his head on your shoulder.
"I thought I was losing you but I couldn't be there because of work." you wiped the few stray tears from his cheeks.
"Oh darling, you won't lose me, not in a million years, honest. I'm right here." you pressed a kiss to the top of his forehead. He laid in your arms for a little while longer before pulling away to face you.
"Thank you."

Dark Street
Life comes at you fast, and Julian Marco’s life is one flat tire away from being the worst kind of country song. But the blues may soon feel like an afterthought, once Julian wakes up in a hellish shadow dimension, with no idea how he got there or why. Forced to fight for his very survival may cost him his remaining sanity. Well, that or the fresh pair of fangs and burning lust for blood. Little does Julian realize what happens in the darkness could have drastic consequences for the rest of earth. And discoveries await that may just contain some dark secret from humanity’s ancient past. Note: This is a story I wrote years ago. It isn't complete, but I had a lot of fun with it. Since my primary focus is on Evil Eye: Hexcaller, chapters will be slow to update. I'm going to shoot for once a week, but we shall see! I hope you enjoy it!

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Avian | Krieg der Welten (German!!!)
Die Welt wartete voller Spannung auf den Release des ersten großen VR Games, OMEGA, so auch der MC, der jedoch zur Zeit des Release gerade an seiner Abschlussarbeit sitzt und damit den ersten Morgen in OMEGA verpasst. Am zweiten Morgen des Spiels jedoch, fliegt Mirado jedoch in den Himmel um sich den Sonnenaufgang als erstes anzusehen, als ein mächtiges Beben alle Spieler der Welt erschütterte und für ihn Spiel zur Realität wurde. Nicht mehr in der Lage die Welt zu verlassen, kämpft er von da an um seinen Platz in einer Welt aus Spielern und den natürlichen Einwohnern, sowie zahlreichen Monster und Götter. Als Auserwählter eines Gottes und Abseits aller Regeln und somitt auch abseits der Bestimmungen als auch des Schutzes den Regeln bieten, ist jeder Tag für Mirado ein Kampf ums überleben und sogleich ein Tag an dem er etwas neues über seine neue Welt lernt. Begleitet Mirado auf seiner Reise durch die Welt, wie er neue Freunde und Feinde findet, Uralte Gegner erweckt und die ältesten Götter konfrontiert um seine neue Welt zu beschützen. [hr] Ich habe bisher VIELE Storys darüber gelesen wie Chars zu Götter wurden, gegen Götter gekämpft haben und selbige am Ende (oder auch nach kurzer Zeit) zum Frühstück verspeisten. Diesmal wollte ich jedoch mal einen anderen Weg ausprobieren. Mein Weg führt nicht gegen die Götter und das Universum, sondern MIT den Göttern und der Welt. Wenn ihr also Fragen, Anmerkungen oder Kritik habt dann schreibt doch bitte einen Kommentar, eine Bewertung oder eine PM :) Ich lese sie alle!!!
