When three teens pick up mysterious trinkets at a pirate festival, they're pulled into a storm-swept world of sea monsters, cursed relics, and ruthless captains who blur the line between hero and villain. Armed with a sword that crackles with lightning and a past they don't understand, Matthew, Viv, and Jess find themselves aboard a pirate ship with a crew of outlaws who might just be their only allies. But the deeper they sail into the Otherworld, the clearer it becomes: nothing here is what it seems. Not the relics. Not the legends. Not even the people they trust most. As betrayal looms, a portal home may lie within reach, if it doesn't destroy them first.

Freya belongs on the field. Nathaniel owns it. Kaiden changes it. They were never supposed to overlap. Now they can't stay apart. Between matches, late nights, and everything left unsaid, something shifts- in the way they look at each other, in the space they start to share, in the lines they promised not to cross. This isn't a love story that plays fair. It's about what happens when desire, loyalty, and timing collide- and no one walks away untouched.

Between football obsession, reckless attachment, and enough chemistry to violate several safety regulations, Eldermoor FC slowly turns into the world's most emotionally charged disaster zone.

Two women. One kid. A life they built together before either of them had the nerve to call it love. When Sirin is left pregnant and abandoned the night before her wedding, her best friend Nara does the one thing no one asked her to do. She gives up a once-in-a-lifetime scholarship abroad and stays. No explanation. No confession. Just presence, the only way she knows how to love. For eight years, they build a life together. Warm meals. Shared routines. A daughter who sees far more than she should. It isn't the life either of them planned. But it's the one that feels most like home. Then something shifts. As Sirin begins to explore a part of herself she never had space to examine, years of silence start pushing toward the surface. Both of them are afraid. Both of them are running out of room. Some feelings don't disappear just because you never name them. They just wait. GL romance · Slow burn · Found family · Two timelines

As a Wife, Madeleine is given everything she once dreamed of : security, status, a family, and a place in society. Yet beneath the blue dresses and polite smiles lies a terrifying truth. And one day, that truth comes for her children too. But beneath the silence of her household, secrets are growing. Her marriage is not what it seems. Her grief is not as quiet as Gilead wants it to be. A psychological story about faith, motherhood, privilege, guilt, and the price of looking away. Because sometimes the most dangerous people are not the ones who created the system... but the ones who believed in it. NOTE : - This is a fiction set in the universe of The Handmaid's Tale. - The cover was created by a graphic designer. I do not claim ownership of the artwork. - All writing, characters, plot developments, and original additions featured in this story were written by me. - English is not my native language, so you may encounter occasional mistakes. 🥇 1st on #hulu 🥇1st in #TheHandmaidsTale stories ! Amazing !! 🫶🏻🤍 Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy Madeleine's story. :) @GhoulNumberSix
