Anxious and apathetic, the godling Aquari locks himself away in a vault where he stays for an untold number of years, held captive by nothing but his own mind. Then, bit by bit, things happen to make Aquari break out of his self-made purgatory and learn about happiness and pain. This is an introspective story about depression and change with a Greek mythological-like setting including gods and marble temples. A short story that means a lot to me. Nothing graphic but includes themes of depression, family rejection and anxiety.

Sentenced to the sea for a crime he didn't commit... Wrongly convicted of killing his lover, Li is sent off to serve his sentence in the privateer fleet of Mahlon, where he finds himself somewhere between a sailor and a pirate. He supposes it is a better way to die than wasting away in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. If it isn't the sea or sailing necromancers that threaten his life, perhaps it is his assigned partner, an unfriendly man named Ardlac who seems to want nothing to do with a stranger sharing his space. Li doesn't know that his unfriendly exterior masks a wounded soul suffering from a loss Li can understand far too well. But that is only one of the many secrets lurking around him and one of the many threats to uncover. CONVICTED is a low-stakes story about healing, recovery, and comfort. Originally posted on Tapas, I am now cross-posting this story on Royal Road, Wattpad, and Neovel.
