Apart from You
Charlie Saxe's entire world has been turned upside down. The return of the rightful heir to the throne has thrown everything into disarray, including Charlie's relationships with the people around her. The palace is divided, some standing with the old king, while others fall in line with the crown prince. Charlie is expected to be a part of the latter group, and her hesitation to do so could end up resulting in the death or imprisonment of the people she cares about. Kav Kavanaugh is forced on the run. Again. Only this time, he needs to fight for Charlie instead of with her. He refuses to give up on everything they'd shared and is unwilling to leave her behind, even if that might be the safest option left available to him. Ace has plans of his own, plans that have been years in the making. Determined to win, he holds fast to his newly taken power and all the things that come with it. Including Charlie. He wants to rekindle what they once had, even if that means burning everything else to the ground. Torn between her newfound love for Kav, and the old loyalty she once felt for her childhood friend, Charlie is forced to make a decision. Stay and fight for what she believes is right, or find a way to escape back to Kav's universe before it's too late?
Across from You
Charlie Saxe grew up in the seedy underbelly of Umbra before she was adopted and allowed to live in the palace. Since then, she has been training for years to be able to infiltrate an Equivalent high school, a task she needs to succeed at in order to make her adoptive father proud. Everyone in her world knows about the existence of the parallel universe Equivalent, but only trained soldiers are allowed to go there. After all her hard work, she refuses to let anything get in her way, including the inappropriate crush she happens to have on her target, Kav Kavanaugh. However, when the only thing she can do to keep him safe is illegally sneak him in to her world, Charlie is forced to put her personal needs aside. Counterpart is run by a monarchy, and she and Kav must help her King uncover a mole within the palace before Kav can return home. As the two of them grow closer, Charlie makes contact with the boy she left behind in Umbra, and discovers a conspiracy theory against the king that could change everything she thought she knew and believed in.

The Devils of Vitality always hit their mark. Rabbit Trace is a musical prodigy with a secret. Ever since an event that took place a year ago, he gets terrible stage fright before every performance. With a famous mother who's dedicated her entire life to her craft, and the weight of her expectations heavy on his shoulders, Rabbit is only one panic attack away from crumbling. He knows it'll be easier to escape if he stops running from the memory of that night, but he's stubborn and doesn't want to remember something so horrible his mind thought fit to erase it for him. Monotony has helped him make it through, and he's settled into a dull routine that keeps his mind occupied, the worst of the attacks limited to just before performances. That is until one of the infamous Devils of Vitality suddenly takes notice and decides to invade his life, whether he reciprocates or not. Baikal Void has many titles. Each of them comes with a responsibility attached to it. Future Dominus, head of the Vitality Brumal Mafia, is just one of them. He's always known he'd one day have to take the crown, he just never realized it'd be so soon. With his father dying and the inevitable changing of power looming, Baikal struggles to keep his deranged nature under control as he grapples with the upcoming loss. Then one night he's dragged to a recital for his university and sees him for the first time. After one glance he knows he's found his saving grace in Rabbit, the reserved musician who looks like he's battling demons of his own. Just like that, he's got a new title to add to the list. He's going to be the owner of one little ethereal bunny. Rabbit doesn't understand Baikal's sudden and intense interest, or why the Brumal Prince has gone out of his way to collect enough dirt on his mom to force his hand. Blackmailed into a relationship of sorts, Rabbit fights against Baikal's constant advances and his own tumultuous feelings. Everything Baikal inflicts on him is wrong and twisted, and yet the longer he's made to endure, the more codependent Rabbit finds himself becoming. Baikal promises freedom from the predetermined fate he's always been a slave to, but only if he gives himself over to him completely. And if he doesn't do so willingly? A devil is always prepared to take what they want, and Baikal Void is no exception.
