Kasi Williams, a young black woman from Detroit, has always found solace in the quiet strength of her independence. After the tragic loss of her parents in a devastating car accident when she was just a child, she and her older brother Jason clung to each other, building a life from the fragments of their shattered world. But when Jason is killed in a police shooting ruled an "accident," Kasi's heart is left in ruins. Seeking escape from the pain, she leaves everything behind and retreats to a serene, distant village in China, where the rolling hills and tranquil rivers offer a fragile promise of peace. There, she meets Tang Wei Long (唐伟龙), a man whose name echoes wealth and prosperity, but whose life is shrouded in the cold isolation of his family's industrial empire. The Tangs, owners of a vast network of electronics factories in the bustling industrial hub of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, are known for their power and influence. Yet, Wei Long is drawn to Kasi not for her knowledge of his wealth, but for her authenticity-a rare gem in a world of superficial admiration. When Wei Long first hears Kasi singing to a group of children, her voice carried a haunting beauty that stirs something deep within him. Will Wei Long's relentless pursuit of Kasi's heart be enough to mend the fractures of her past? Or will the weight of their differences keep them forever apart? Dive into this emotionally charged journey and discover if love can bloom where the world least expects it.

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟐 "Where are we? I thought we escaped." Ezra stood still, scanning the empty campus. Lockers shut tight. Windows dark. The air unmoving. No one else was here. Just us. "I don't know. You tell me," he said with a shrug, annoyance pulling at his voice. I jerked my head at him. "Excuse me?" "What do you want me to say? That we're trapped here because you thought you had all the answers?" He glared at me. "Oh, fuck you." He scoffed, "You and I both know you don't mean that." His gaze drifted down both hallways. Something was off. Unnatural. A shadow of understanding crossed his face. "I don't think we escaped," he said quietly. "We broke their damn law." My chest tightened. Silence pressed in, heavy and exact. Tears slipped down before I could stop them. "I want to go home," I whispered, but the word felt hollow, wrong. He looked at me like he was searching for something already gone. "We are home." And that was the worst part.. 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 | They 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐃 and escaped the island. Or.. so they thought. But 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 was never the end. It was the doorway. Bound by stolen 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 and a 𝐥𝐚𝐰 older than memory, Indigo and Ezra wake in a reality stitched together by something that 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 to let them go.

cover by @JaelynnMoore 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing

"I'll leave you alone." His words filled the tormenting silence, "After tonight you won't have to see me again, only in class and that's it." My heart ached at his words, why? This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.

☆ 𝗔 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗦: what if the child was a teenager/YA throughout the show duration and not at season 5? After her mother's death, 17 y/o Deena Salée discovers a letter hidden under her bed that wasn't there before. Inside is an old photo of her mother in college with a man, revealed as her biological father- -the notorious hybrid Klaus Mikaelson. Her father's true nature, including her own and her family's is lightly explained but isn't of importance. Not when there's clear and bolded instructions to return to New Orleans in search of protection against a Great Danger. An unknown danger that might've killed her mother. Set on finding her family and any living relatives, Deena travels all the way from Le Havre, France to New Orleans, Louisiana with little knowledge of the supernatural world. A world kept hidden from her since birth. It's quickly discovered that not only is her family the original product of vampires, but some secrets lie within her blood where danger is found, making her the only of her kind- -a tribrid. All while figuring out herself, making a life here in New Orleans with grief fresh on her heart, and getting to know the image of her father and his family people feared- -she now has to defend herself against a coven of witches seeking sacrifice upon a prophecy their ancestors created, a pack of wolves who'll never accept her, vampires who despise her, and humans who are just a reminder of who she'll never be.
