Some secrets protect you. Some get you hunted. What happens when they all come out into the open? Raphael Corcrel, heir to a business empire he wants no part of, is a demi-fae shapeshifter. In this modern world, the demi-fae are a rarity, with powers that set them apart from both humans and fae. Which often means they are hunted; as weapons, as oddities, as something that should be eradicated. As monsters, half-breeds. Ever since his father died when he was eleven, Raph has managed to keep his shapeshifting a secret, even from his uncle and mother, who assume he didn't inherit it. He never had anyone teach him to control it, and the last thing he wants is for Animal Control to lock him up or 'release' him into the wild. But when someone his friends know and care about is in danger, and he steps up to help, suddenly it becomes hard to hide many things about himself. And figures from his father's past start to take notice. Calliope Farrow is attending Sir Robertson University purely on a soccer scholarship. She wants to be a kinesiologist and help people recover from injuries that she herself had to deal with. Her ability to play and study is vital to keeping her scholarship - and essential in staying in her aunt's good graces. But when the headmaster's son himself takes a bad kind of interest in her, she is forced to confront the choices: running from the danger, fighting for her passion, or staying silent and obedient like she always has. And when the danger gets worse, revealing things about her that even she didn't know, her choices don't just concern her scholarship - they will impact her entire life and others around her. CAUTION: Contains violence, swearing, and mentions/depictions of assault. 15/16+ recommended AT LEAST. Some spice, but not explicit.

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me, and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

This book is a collection of independent, standalone one-shots I wrote during quiet moments - when inspiration struck and I simply followed it. The genres vary, the tones shift, and the characters change - but each story carries a fragment of thought, emotion, or imagination I didn't want to keep to myself. Thank you for being here.

In public, I'm the obedient daughter of House Velmire. In private, I'm learning to dismantle everything they've built. It started with an interrogation. Sirius Lioren-Union reformer, political rival, the right hand of the man I was sent to sabotage-broke every belief I'd ever held. Not with torture, but with questions I couldn't answer. Now I see the truth. And I can't unsee it. So I go back to the manor. But not as the meek daughter they think I am. I smile through arranged marriage negotiations while my heart belongs to the one man I can never have. I master forbidden magic that could stop a heart while passing secrets to the resistance. I play the perfect heiress while the people in the lower quarters become the family I choose. Every stolen glance with my family's enemy feels like treason. Every secret meeting pulls me deeper into a world I was raised to destroy. Every moment I spend on the wrong side of this war, I become someone my family wouldn't recognize. But revolution has a cost. And when the careful balance I've built begins to crumble, when my grandfather's suspicions sharpen, when I'm forced to choose between the people I love and the power I wield... I'll discover exactly how far I'm willing to go. Even if it means becoming the monster they always wanted. Even if it means breaking rules I didn't know could be broken. A fantasy of forbidden love, political revolution, dangerous magic, and the impossible choices that fracture everything. Updates every Tuesday and Friday.

These are just small pieces of our days. Bus rides, cold mornings, the kind of talk that slips out without any plan behind it. Nothing big. Nothing that would matter to anyone else. Just the things we noticed before they faded. I wrote them down here because, well... if I didn't, they'd vanish quickly like a wave of the sea does. One moment they're right in front of you, and then they're gone, tucked somewhere in the past where you can't reach them anymore. Maybe putting them here doesn't save anything, not really. But it lets me look at them for a little longer. All I can do is catch them for a moment - the light, the voices, the way the city feels when it breathes - and leave them on these pages. These stories were ours. These quiet seconds, these almost-forgotten scenes. But, it doesn't matter because they belonged to us for a moment. And now, they belong to you for a moment too. PS: I'll release this on Royal Road! Stay tuned! :D
