"You hate me, remember?" "I don't hate you, Rosalia. Hate's too easy." "Then what is this?" "This... is me losing control." Rosalia Carson built walls out of words, chasing truth like it was her only lifeline. Cray Smith built walls out of steel, a man feared for all the right reasons - and for every wrong one. She exposes secrets. He buries them. They were never meant to collide. But the more he pushes her away, the closer she gets. Every clash sparks fire, every secret pulls them deeper, until hate tastes a little too much like desire. Enemies can't stay enemies forever. Not when the slow burn turns into an inferno. And in the end, both of them learn the cruelest truth of all - happiness is only ever ephemeral.

In a world that measures worth in gold, Lily Chen's life bloomed in the cracks of the ordinary. Through forgotten homework, unpaid bills, silent marital battles, and small, stubborn joys, she learned a truth: the most enduring legacies are not monuments, but dandelion seeds-fragile, fleeting, and carried on the breath of perseverance. A novel celebrating the extraordinary courage of an unremarkable life.

Every breath carries a story. Some are shallow, fleeting. Others are heavy - filled with memories, pain, and the quiet will to keep going. When life begins to lose its rhythm, when exhaustion settles deep into the bones, one girl must learn what it truly means to be alive - not just to survive. Through illness, recovery, and rediscovery, The Weight of Breathing unravels the delicate thread between body and soul, showing how health is not only about the heart that beats, but the reasons it keeps beating. This story reflects on the fragility of the human body and the quiet resilience hidden within everyday life. It's a journey through stillness, breath, and healing - and a reminder that sometimes, the smallest inhale can change everything.

Angel Claire Peterson has spent all of high school trying to fit in with the people who never once looked her way. She has only one goal before graduation: to finally be noticed by Hailey's elite squad, the girls who rule OceanView High like it's a runway. She's been invisible long enough, and senior year feels like her last shot. When Hailey offers her a spot in their exclusive circle, there's a catch, Angel must succeed in a daring bet. The challenge? Make Jason Alexander Lockhart, the untouchable, mysterious, boy everyone fears, fall for her in just three months. If she succeeds, she earns her place among The Elites. If she fails... she faces a humiliation she'll wish she could erase. But Jason isn't what she expected. He's not cruel or heartless, but he's not exactly nice either. He doesn't smile, doesn't talk unless he has to, and his stare alone is enough to make people back off. Yet beneath all that, there's something else. He's hiding a vulnerability she never imagined. What started out as a game quickly becomes something deeper. Because, in the end, Angel realizes she's betting on the wrong guy. The guy who was supposed to be nothing more than a challenge, is the one who's unexpectedly claimed her heart.

Eddie Munson thought he knew how his final senior year would go, but everything changed when a class project with Chrissy Cunningham sets off a chain of events that lands him face-first in the middle of Hawkins' supernatural war. And then there's Steve- exiled to the sea and bound by magic only a true love's kiss can break.

TL;DR: Found family, grief, merman lore, identity, platonic true love, and Steve Harrington absolutely not coping with being a magical sea creature. 🥈Fantasy in the Writer at Heart Awards🥈 🥉Fanfiction in the Astral Arena Loom's Awards🥉

There are whispers in the drawing rooms of Victorian England-tales of a lady admired by all, yet hiding a secret no one dares speak aloud. Catherine moves with quiet grace, but beneath silken gowns and polite smiles, she is no gentlewoman. Burned for witchcraft long ago, she has returned-cold, cunning, and vengeful, with forbidden magic in her veins and memories that stretch beyond the grave. The world that once betrayed her now bows to propriety and power, but men of science scoff, priests pray, and women gossip-blind to the storm that stirs behind her eyes. Allies are scarce, enemies abound, and every step she takes brings her closer to the vengeance she has waited lifetimes to claim. "When the old gods whisper again, Catherine will rise-not as a queen, but as a curse. And the crown she seizes will be forged in ash."
