A decade ago, Nyx's life was shattered into pieces when her parents were consumed by their shadows-living reflections of despair that consume the souls they belong to. Now, as second-in-command of the strongest resistance force in the world, fighting to save the dwindling humanity, Nyx finds herself grappling with more than just the shadow apocalypse. A prophecy whispers her name as the one destined to end the curse, but at an eerie cost- that was not yet known to any. But of all the battles she has fought, none wound her deeper than the one in Aiden's heart. When the man she has come to love remains tethered to the ghost of his past, to the shadow of his lost childhood sweetheart-he does not see that some ghosts are better left undisturbed. Until the day fate makes its move. When the shadow of his beloved becomes a threat too great to ignore, when the choice is torn from her hands and placed upon the blade of her sword, Nyx will do what she has always done-what she was destined to do. But the world is cruel, and the gods are crueler. Because in the end, the greatest tragedy is not dying in darkness. It is becoming it. *** cover by @Lasophie79

She's endured them again and again, etched into her soul by the choices of others-and sometimes, by her own. But what she doesn't realize is that the pain she carries might lead to her greatest loss yet. *.☽ .* *.☽ .* *.☽ .* Nora Reyes, once a captive of HYDRA and now a newly recruited avenger, had worked with SHEILD for three years now. Her mornings were always a blue haze of revenge, and nights an agonizing memory of her loss - taking away her sleep with it too. Sleepless, restless, and relentless, her goal is singular: to destroy the place that made her life a living hell. Tony Stark, the man who no one really knows, hides his own ghosts beneath layers of wit and brilliance. But when the world quiets and the armor comes off, insomnia is his only companion. The genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist- these titles mean nothing when he lives in the shadow of his regrets, trapped in an endless loop of "what-ifs." Two fractured souls. Two lives defined by loss and desperation. When sleepless nights draw Nora and Tony together, their bond becomes a fragile sanctuary-a place where the walls they've built start to crumble. He sees her pain mirrored in his own; she sees the man behind the suit no one else bothers to understand. But every comfort comes with a price. And for two people who have lost so much, can they hold onto something good-or are they doomed to watch it slip away like everything else in their lives? Cover by @stxrrdrexm

❝𝙁𝙞𝙭 𝙞𝙩, 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚.❞ ❝𝙁𝙞𝙭 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩?❞ ❝𝙈𝙚.❞ *** 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘂 𝗚𝗼𝗷𝗼. The strongest. The invincible. The man who died fighting the king of curses. The world mourned him as a weapon more than a man, built him into a legend before burying him. But he still lives. Somewhere far away from the jujutsu society, in a place devoid of curses, hidden among trees and peace. He breathes. The world has a chance to reclaim its shield once more. He has seven weeks to heal his body and the fragments of his soul, and she is the only one who can possibly help him. His first heartbreak. His last memory of peace. The girl he once loved. The woman he now despised. 𝗔𝘀𝗮𝗵𝗶 𝗞𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗼. The runaway. The forgotten one. The girl who left the jujutsu world years ago- vanishing without a trace, leaving behind the boy she loved and the life she could not bear to face without a goodbye. Eight years and yet in a mockery of a fate, she still felt the threads of her soul snapping when he lingered between life and death and found her healing the man who protected the world she had ran away from. Only she can mend what is broken inside him. The boy she loved. The man who seemed to hate her. Seven weeks - that's all they have. Seven weeks for his soul to heal, for her heart to break all over again, and for fate to decide if love can survive the things it ruins. Cover by @stxrrdrexm
