[WATTY'S SHORTLIST 2021 & 2022] "I love every part of you. Not because of who you were before, but because of who you are now, in spite of all the bullshit this universe has sent your way." Jasmine Ali is broken. After watching her best friend die, she walks through life with a strained smile and heavy heart, trying her best to seem like everything is okay. All that matters is getting through her daily routine. But when Jace Wilson appears with a limp and a frown, her mask begins to slip. And Jasmine begins to learn that nothing is ever truly broken.

Orphic (adj.) mysterious and entrancing; beyond ordinary understanding.

They say 'Opposites Attract,' but what happens when those opposites carry shadows from their past that threaten to tear them apart? Eran, the carefree, golden-hearted soul who is the kind of guy who believed love could fix anything. He wasn't just a happy-go-lucky soul; he was a dreamer, a romantic at heart. The best friend to everyone suffers heavily for the demise of his close peer still feels that love was magic-something worth chasing no matter the risk. Then there's Rose-enigmatic, guarded, and as alluring as the words she weaves in her secret world of online storytelling. Known by many but understood by none, she shields herself from the world, a sin she committed years ago which continues to haunt her. Her dark, mysterious past lies in stark contrast to the woman she portrays today-one who barely lets anyone in. But what happens when their worlds collide? When Eran's carefree charm meets Rose's enigmatic walls? Will she dare to fall in love, something which she dreads? In a twisted dance of fate, their paths will cross, igniting something neither of them expected. A battle of hearts, where one is locked in the past, and the other hides in the shadows. Love may not be part of the plan-but sometimes, fate doesn't give you a choice. Will they tear each other apart, or can opposites really attract?

In a world of monsters, is it possible to find the beauty in each other? Ice melts... Power ignites... Bonds forge... Just in time to clash with the impending storm on its way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I think you have lost your mind," Soren suddenly muttered. Then it happened: Annika grinned. A glowing warmth lit inside, heating her cold interior. There was something extraordinary about the simplicity put into a grin. The anguish lessoned, and suddenly anything was possible. Surely the sky could fall if Annika could smile? "What makes you say that?" She asked as she continued her movements. The grin acted as a soothing balm on her aching heart. Annika might've been crazy to become so easily uplifted by an everyday facial expression, but crazy seemed like a much better term to be than slave. "Only a lunatic would approach me in my slumber." His eyes remained shut, and he didn't object to her petting, so Annika didn't stop. "Well... you wouldn't know if you were asleep?" "Mmm," the sound vibrated like a guttural hum, "I awoke the second you entered." "Did you?" Annika asked as she turned her head to study his face, but this time, his eyes were open, revealing those beautiful pits of colorless depths. --------------------------------------------------------------- (WARNING: MATURE CONTENT OF ALL KINDS *EMPHASIS ON THE ALL PART*) Highest Rank: 48 (thanks to you beautiful creatures)
