She was never meant to survive. The night her world burned, Layla ran; driven by her mother's final command echoing through blood and snow. She didn't understand what was happening... only that something was hunting them. Something that didn't belong. By the time the screams faded, everything she knew was gone. Alone, wounded, and too young to understand loss, Layla learns to survive in a world that shows no mercy. Hunger becomes her shadow. Pain becomes her teacher. And trust... something she buries deep beneath her claws. But the past doesn't stay buried. Because somewhere out there, the night she escaped did not end. Whispers linger. Tracks are followed. And though Layla does not yet understand it... something remembers her. As Layla grows, so does the world around her, and it is anything but peaceful. She finds herself caught in a brutal conflict between a powerful lion pride, the Sun Pride, and a ruthless hyena clan led by a massive, terrifying male who rules through fear and blood. Territories are breaking. Loyalties are shifting. And war is no longer a distant threat; it's everywhere. In the middle of it all stands Layla. An outsider. A survivor. A storm waiting to happen. Haunted by fragments of her past and driven by a quiet, burning rage, she must decide where she stands... in a world that is tearing itself apart. Because this time... running won't be enough.

Miraculous Ladybug AU: In a time of mermaids and pirates, Gabriel Agreste lives with his young son, Adrien, in a seaside mansion. After the death of his wife a few years earlier, he keeps a close eye on his son, never letting him go farther than the beach on his own. Even this strict rule may change, for mermaids have become more ruthless than ever before with their new ruler, Audrey Bourgeois. Sailors have disappeared from the nearby villages, drowned for sport. Not all mermaids agree with the violence. Nathalie is one of these mermaids, though she keeps her thoughts to herself. Last time someone vocally disagreed, she'd been banished and was presumed dead. Throughout history, the Agrestes have been known for being nearly impossible to entice. With her own personal history with Gabriel, Audrey is determined to change that and formulates her own plan: lure his young son into the sea. Unfortunately for Audrey, she's brought along the wrong mermaid. Main story is complete! Bonus chapters will be added as they are written. Cover art done by me
