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.

Madeleine Winthrop was raised to be the perfect daughter. Born into a wealthy and deeply religious family, she spent her life following the rules, until one mistake changed everything. Pregnant out of wedlock and abandoned by those she loved most, Madeleine is forced to build a new life for herself and her young daughter. Between long workdays, whispered rumors, and the struggle of single motherhood, survival becomes her only goal. Then she meets Nathaniel Harrington. He is respected, influential and devoted. That man seems to offer everything she has lost. But as America begins to change and a new order rises from the ashes of the old world, Madeleine finds herself standing closer and closer to the people shaping that future. A future called Gilead. As a Wife, she 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
