Catalena Baratheon has always known the truth. She is the only trueborn child of King Robert Baratheon - the only child with his blood, his fire, and his claim. The others may carry the royal name, but their bloodline is a lie, born from her mother's indiscretions and hidden behind golden smiles. Now, as the royal family travels north to Winterfell to visit Robert's oldest friend, Eddard Stark, Catalena's future becomes impossible to ignore. The realm knows who the true heir is. The great houses know it too - and many are already standing behind her. With the Iron Throne waiting in her future, Catalena is given a choice most women in Westeros never receive: the right to choose her own husband. But every smile hides a scheme, every offer carries a price, and even her own mother is suddenly desperate to stay in her good graces. Catalena was born a princess. Now she must learn how to become a queen.

Lena never planned on standing out. At seventeen, she's the new girl at McKinley High-feisty, outgoing, and impossible to ignore. With a voice that can turn heads and dance moves that demand attention, Lena walks into her first day ready to survive a new school, not become the center of it. Then she meets Finn Hudson and Noah "Puck" Puckerman. From the start, both boys feel drawn to her. Finn sees the sweet, talented girl behind the attitude, while Puck is pulled in by her fire, confidence, and the way she refuses to back down from anyone. Before Lena even realizes it, they're both watching out for her, stepping in when things get rough, and making it clear she isn't alone anymore. But feelings grow fast, and neither Finn nor Puck wants to lose her-or each other-over it. Instead of fighting, they make a choice. Protect Lena. Support her. And let whatever happens between the three of them happen on its own. New school. New friends. New drama. And for Lena, McKinley High is about to become a whole lot more complicated.

Lena Komori has always lived in Yui's shadow. As Yui's stepsister, Lena is used to being treated like she is less important, less special, and never quite good enough. Yui may believe she is better than Lena, but when they are sent to live with the mysterious Sakamaki brothers, everything begins to change. Lena is nothing like the quiet, obedient girl they expected. She is outgoing, fiery, stubborn, and not afraid to speak her mind-even when surrounded by dangerous vampires. Instead of breaking under the pressure, Lena pushes back. And one by one, the brothers begin to notice there is something different about her. Something strong. Something tempting. Something worth protecting. While Yui grows jealous of the attention Lena receives, Lena finds herself caught in a house full of secrets, blood, danger, and desire. The Sakamaki brothers may be cruel to others, but with Lena, they show something unexpected: respect. In a world where blood means everything, Lena will have to discover who she really is-and why the vampires around her are drawn to her in ways none of them can explain.

My name is Hayden Mathews, and Greenwood Asylum is my first job fresh out of college. Most people would run the second they heard the word *slashers*. They would picture blood, screams, locked doors, and monsters wearing human faces. They would hear that the asylum houses some of the most dangerous killers alive and decide no paycheck is worth it. But I am not most people. Greenwood Asylum was supposed to break me. The doctors warned me. The guards watched me like I was already dead. The slashers smiled like they had found their next favorite toy. What none of them realized is that I do not scare easy. Actually, I do not scare at all. The slashers may rule the halls of Greenwood, but they have never met anyone like me. And by the time they figure that out, it might already be too late. I can also make it darker, more creepy, or more Wattpad-style dramatic.

My name is Katalina. A year ago, right after graduating high school, I started working at the local police station. Most of my days are spent working alongside Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh, two men who have become more like family than coworkers. Life in our small town seems normal-until strange reports begin coming in. People are becoming violent, hospitals are filling up, and rumors about the dead walking are spreading faster than anyone can control. Then everything changes during what should have been a normal police chase. Instead of Rick being shot, I'm the one who takes the bullet. While I lie unconscious in the hospital, the world begins falling apart around us. Rick and Shane refuse to leave me behind, managing to get me out of the hospital before it becomes overrun. This story begins one month before the outbreak and follows Katalina, Rick, and Shane as they witness the first signs of the end of the world. Together, they'll have to fight through the chaos, protect the people they love, and find a way to survive as the story moves into the pilot episode of The Walking Dead. The dead are rising. The world is ending. And this time, Rick Grimes won't be facing it alone. Hey everyone, I will be posting a few of the stories I first wrote when I started writing. Just a heads-up: they are cringy, messy, full of holes, and not always consistent. I already know that, but I'm going to post them anyway because they were the start of my writing journey. Please keep that in mind when you read them. They may not be perfect, but they are where I started. Hope y'all enjoy them anyway. lol <3

My name is Primarina, but everyone calls me Prim. I had been wandering through the abandoned streets when I came across a hospital. Hoping to find medicine, food, or anything else useful, I decided to search inside. The dead parted for me as I walked, silently moving out of my way like they knew better than to touch me. I expected empty rooms, forgotten supplies, and more walkers. Instead, I found Rick Grimes wandering through the hospital in nothing but a gown. He was weak, confused, and completely unprepared for the nightmare waiting outside. I should have helped him find his family and continued on my own, but there was something about Rick that made walking away impossible. The longer we traveled together, the harder it became to ignore the connection growing between us. Rick wanted answers about the world he had awakened in, but most of all, he wanted to understand me-the mysterious woman who could walk among the dead without fear and command them without saying a word. In a world overrun by death, Rick Grimes may be the one person who makes me feel alive.

My name is Honey, and I'm the princess of the Sinners Saints Motorcycle Club. My father is the club president, which means I grew up surrounded by roaring engines, leather cuts, loaded guns, and men who would burn the world down to protect me. Most people think being the president's daughter makes me spoiled or weak. They're wrong. I was out picking up supplies for dinner when I got the call that changed everything. People were attacking each other. The dead were getting back up. The city was falling apart, and my father ordered me to get home before the roads became impossible to travel. But getting back to the clubhouse is only the beginning. With the world overrun by walkers, the Sinners Saints must become more than an MC. They must become survivors, protectors, and warriors. Our clubhouse becomes a fortress, our motorcycles become lifelines, and anyone who threatens our family will learn exactly how dangerous the club's princess can be. My name might be Honey, but there's nothing sweet about what I'll do to protect the people I love.

My name is Raven. I'm nineteen years old, and magic has always been a normal part of my life. One night, I was sitting at home watching Game of Thrones while casually playing with my powers. The longer I watched, the angrier I became. The Starks were betrayed. Their family was torn apart. Innocent people suffered while the cruel fought over an ugly metal chair. "Goodness, the Mother really screwed them all over," I muttered, shaking my head. I should have kept my mouth shut. One flash of magic later, I was no longer sitting safely in my living room. I was standing in the cold forests of the North, surrounded by danger, secrets, and people who believed magic had disappeared from the world. Now, armed with powers Westeros has never seen, I have the chance to change everything. I will protect the innocent. I will punish those who threaten my new family. And anyone foolish enough to come after the wolves will learn that the Starks are no longer alone. Because this time, the North has a new protector. And I am the True Wolf.

My name is Terra, and I come from a long line of powerful witches. The kind who can level an entire town without breaking a sweat. One night, I was sitting at home watching Game of Thrones, growing more irritated with every betrayal, pointless death, and terrible decision. The Starks were being torn apart, innocent people were suffering, and far too many monsters were getting away with everything. By the time another one of my favorites was betrayed, I had officially had enough. A slow smirk spread across my face as magic sparked from my fingertips. "I'm going to have fun with this." One flash of blue light later, I found myself standing in the forests of the North armed with unlimited magic, knowledge of the future, and absolutely no intention of letting the original story play out. The Starks will survive. The villains will fall. The dead may rise, but they will quickly learn that winter is no longer the most dangerous power in Westeros. Canon is about to change. And I plan to enjoy every second of it.

My name is Mazy Grimes, and I'm seven months pregnant. Before the world fell apart, all I had to worry about was preparing for my baby. My dad, Rick Grimes, and Shane Walsh never missed a single doctor's appointment, determined to be there for me every step of the way. Then one party changed everything. The dead started walking, the world collapsed overnight, and survival became the only thing that mattered. After escaping the chaos, we found a small group of survivors camped at an old quarry. That's where I met Daryl Dixon. Most people only saw a rough, quiet redneck with a crossbow. I saw the man beneath the reputation. From the moment we met, Daryl became fiercely protective of me and my unborn child, standing between us and every danger the new world had to offer. As the apocalypse grows darker, supplies run low, and impossible choices threaten to tear the group apart, we'll discover that family isn't always the one you're born into. Sometimes... It's the one you fight to protect. In a world overrun by the dead, hope is rare. But love? Love might just be worth surviving for.
