Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Life is difficult. That's no secret. It's something that Marlowe learned at a young age. At 17 years old, she is an accomplished student and one of the underworld's most feared assassins. Though, it's not as nice as it seems. She is desperate for a way out. And eventually she finds one through the Italian Mafia. Is it the most conventional? No. But is it better than her current situation? Also most likely no. But seeing as it make her life something more than just killing, she jumps at the first chance she gets. Marlowe quickly learns that secrets in mafia families run deeper than she will ever realize. And perhaps she discovers a little more than she was expecting.

Note: See the last Chapter posted; you'll find the other chapters there. They call her the Untouchable Bird, a nickname whispered behind her back by the people she adored the most- her brother's best friends. To her, it's both flattering and infuriating. Why go to such lengths to keep her off-limits? She's just a normal girl-or at least, that's what they think. From the outside, her life looks innocent enough: the perfect little sister, quietly admiring her brother's best friends from afar. But beneath her calm exterior is a mind sharper than they realize, quietly unraveling the secrets and unspoken rules that bind them. When an unexpected event shatters their carefully maintained dynamic, she finds herself drawn closer to the five boys who've protected her from everyone... including themselves. But the closer they get, the more she begins to wonder: who's really protecting whom? Five best friends. One girl who's not as innocent as she seems. And a game of secrets that no one sees coming.

Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed. Their parents cherished them. Their brothers protected them. But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "What should I ache for?

Vivian Sorrengail was forged for war - sharpened by cruelty, tempered in blood. Her destiny was written in the clash of swords and the blood that stains her hands, a legacy of obedience wrapped in violence. But prophecy doesn't bow to kings, and fate doesn't care for loyalty. When ancient powers stir and enemies bleed from the shadows, Vivian will have to decide what kind of monster they turned her into - and whether she'll burn their kingdom down before it can bury her first. ⸻ "You are a weapon, a servant of Navarre." "I am whoever I choose to be. A monster or savior. A damn reckoning. You're going to regret ever crossing me."

They taught her to be a lady. Her father taught her to kill. At Ashford, a mystery knight emerges-brutal, relentless, unknown. Aerion Brightflame craves what he cannot name. A lady's defiance. A warrior's violence. Valarr Targaryen offers devotion to a woman hiding a blade behind her smile. When the truth bleeds through, the game changes. Some crowns are given. Some are taken. Hers will be earned in blood and steel.

Carys Lupin has always been different. Different from her brother, sorted into another house as if the castle itself sensed the fault lines early. Different from what her parents hoped for, drawn instead to friends they warned her against and rooms she was never meant to enter. She grew up poor in the hills of Wales, learning early how to make hunger quiet and ambition loud, how to want more without ever being taught how to ask for it. She dreams of greatness, a restless, dangerous sort of wanting. The kind that asks her, again and again, what she is willing to become to survive. In a world obsessed with purity and legacy, Carys exists in the spaces between. Watching. Learning. Choosing. And monsters, she is beginning to understand, are not always the ones with fangs.

For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent-her best friend and childhood neighbor-is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful-and devastating-emotions are those that defy any formula.
