A Sinner Story

A Detty December Love Story

A Detty December Love Story is a tale of love, longing, and emotional complexity that explores the raw vulnerability of two people caught in the fleeting magic of a Lagos holiday romance, torn between the reality of what’s to come and the depth of what they share. Ezinne, a fiercely independent woman who’s spent her life avoiding love and emotional entanglements. Her carefully constructed world is upended when she meets Chike, an irresistible Nigerian-Juju boy (IJGB) on vacation in Lagos for the festive season. What starts as an impulsive one-night stand sparks a whirlwind romance that forces Ezinne to confront feelings she’s spent years suppressing. In the vibrant chaos of Lagos’ festive season, Ezinne and Chike’s paths continue to cross at brunches, beach parties, and concerts, each encounter deepening their connection. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, Ezinne is determined not to let her emotions get involved, knowing that Chike will soon leave for his life abroad. As much as she tries to push him away, Chike’s charm and sincerity wear down her defenses, making her question if this is something more than just a holiday fling. Chike, however, isn’t content with just being another chapter in her life. He’s falling for her, and he’s not ready to let go. As the days grow closer to his departure, Ezinne’s resolve begins to falter, but fear of heartache holds her back. With every kiss, every shared moment, and every tender word, their connection grows harder to ignore, leaving her torn between the certainty of their inevitable goodbye and the longing for something deeper that neither of them expected. Ezinne tries to convince herself that this is just a fleeting romance, a beautiful but transient chapter in her life. But Chike’s confession of love, followed by a final kiss before he leaves, changes everything. Can their love survive the distance? Or will the weight of goodbye leave their hearts shattered? In the end, the story asks: Does love have to end when the season does?

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

The world of sinners

In a modern world divided into two opposing continents, society is strictly compartmentalized. On one of the continents, underdeveloped and often despised, live the Sinners, beings endowed with powers born from their faults and weaknesses. Everyone carries the burden of their sin, materialized by unique abilities but often perceived as dangerous or unpredictable. On the other side, on a prosperous and technologically advanced continent, live the Saints, those who possess gifts derived from their virtues and purity. They too have powers, but they are highly revered and live in wealth and admiration. The story follows Élise, a young girl with an improbable destiny: born with the essence of both worlds, she is both sinner and saint. Endowed with powers from both continents, she is rejected by the Saints, who consider her impure, and feared by the Sinners, who see in her a dangerous anomaly. Lost between these two identities, Élise will be pushed on a quest to discover the truth behind the separation of the two continents and the origin of her powers. As she ventures further and further into these two worlds, Élise discovers secrets buried for centuries, revealing that the line between sin and virtue is much finer than we think. The powers she carries within her could either unite the two continents or destroy them. But to achieve this, she will first have to fully accept who she is, even if it means questioning everything she has been taught about good and evil. --- This synopsis introduces the conflict between the two continents, Élise's dilemma between her two identities, and a quest for the reconciliation of the two worlds.
