She knows when someone is hiding something by how they blink. She can tell when someone is in pain just by the way they shift their weight. She sees everything. Except herself. She has no idea how she comes off-only that people either avoid her or try to crack her like a code. She doesn't trust either. Which is why, when someone in the Borderlands-maybe Chishiya-approaches her without flinching or prying, and just sits near her, she doesn't understand it. Doesn't understand the slow, creeping heat in her chest. Doesn't understand the way her eyes linger. Or why her pulse suddenly exists. It's the beginning of something unfamiliar. Something dangerous. Only-there's something much more dangerous coming for her. Something that can only be named as the King of Diamonds.

She plays defense, whilst he takes control of the board. That's how it's always been. But this time, the rules are wrong. Karina doesn't know why Thomas looks at her like they have already lost. The pieces don't move the way they should. Because on this board, checkmate is not where the game ends. There is a cure, but it only comes from pain. [pre-maze phase: ongoing] ThomasxOC

Shizuka Yaeko never had anyone to rely on, yet she liked it that way. Her independence always led to her choosing solitude over connection, finding solace in dance. It was her way of escaping the world. Chishiya Shuntaro understood what it felt to be alone, though he felt indifferent to it. Instead of accepting it or sulking over it, he studied it in hopes of understanding human emotions better. Both had missing pieces of their hearts. When their paths cross once again in the Borderlands, something shifts. Drawn by fate, they uncover new truths not only about the world around them, but about themselves. started: 4/10/25 ended:

HIRAI AKIRA moved from osaka to shibuya to start a new life, she was a rebel child and stayed that way even in adulthood. ARISU RYOHEI a boy who only stayed at home and played video games under the constant pressure of his brother and father. Where will fate take these two?

For every person that has ever existed, a string has been spun to represent their life and destiny. The Fates own these strings and are in control of every person's life. When they're born, how long they live, what they go through, when they die. It's all up to the fates. Every aspect of a person's life is fated, everything they do controlled. People are like puppets. Things that the gods use when needed and throw away when they aren't anymore. And there's no escaping fate... right? {PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS} {PERCY JACKSON X MALE!OC} {ANNABETH CHASE X GF!OC} {THE LIGHTNING THIEF - THE LAST OLYMPIAN} {BOOK ONE IN THE STRINGS SAGA}

The Safe Haven, a refuge built from the ashes of a shattered world, stood as a testament to the heroes who had rebuilt it-Thomas, Minho, and their companions. Their children grew up hearing tales of their parents' bravery, but there was one story that was never told, one name that was never spoken: Selene. She had led the Gladers before any of them, yet her existence had been erased from history, her story buried deep in forgotten journals. As the children of the heroes of this world stumble upon fragments of her past, they unknowingly set the stage for a journey that would unearth long-buried secrets and force them to question everything they thought they knew.
