"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*

Interdimensional Pirates- known throughout the dimensions as gangs of trained thieves who travel through worlds to collect magical and valuable artifacts. But to Kota- an 18-year-old recovered criminal, who lives paycheck to paycheck, struggling to survive alone in the city, oblivious to the existence of the other dimensions and artifacts- they were the people who stole his locket, the last thing he had left of his recently deceased grandmother. She was the only person who had ever cared about him, so he was willing to get that locket back, even if it meant stealing it from his sickeningly rich half-brother's vault, becoming a wanted criminal and chasing down pirates to get it. ~ What to expect: ☠️ Slow start, picks up around chapter 5 ☠️ Male MC growth ☠️ Fantasy worlds and cultures ☠️ Mystery, adventure, action, fantasy ☠️ Mature themes of gore, torture, grief and death (trigger warning ⚠️) ☠️ Clean from mature romance themes ☠️ Detailed character descriptions, pages, and photos ☠️Morally grey characters and MC ☠️Original magical concepts, worlds, artifacts, and so on. ☠️Pirates, ships, fighting, portals, maps, treasure hunts, and so on ☠️Hand drawn digital maps ☠️World building glossaries Progress: 63k words Chapter 25 Disclaimer: ⚠️This is the first draft.

It began with a question she couldn't answer, and a marriage that couldn't survive her silence. Now she's alone in a cramped Hudson Valley apartment. No plan. No safety net. Just room to breathe. Until one night, she wanders into a music venue... and sees him. She's not sure she has anything left to give. But somehow, between late-night calls, endless drives to catch him in other cities, and stolen moments in the chaos of his world-her unraveling existence evolves into that of a famous musician's girlfriend. After The Fall is a raw, tender love story. It doesn't promise rescue-only, something rarer: recognition. For anyone who's ever had to lose everything to discover what they truly needed. 📖 New chapters released weekly.

Elias, the curator of The Acoustic Archive, uses his technique of "Sympathetic Listening" to seek the final, majestic chime of the Great Bell from the long-destroyed St. Jude's cathedral. By analyzing a rusted clock gear, he instead recovers earlier sounds of the clock's creation and maintenance, culminating not in the expected grand toll, but in the terrified, short-lived shriek of a small, internal warning bell that was cut off by the fire. Elias realizes he has saved the honest, forgotten truth of the machine's end, preserving its tragic farewell.

Hij speelde met harten alsof ze speelgoed waren. Geen beloftes. Geen gevoelens. Geen spijt. Tot Lisa. Zij was alles wat hij nooit durfde toe te laten - kalmte in zijn chaos, licht in zijn storm. Voor het eerst voelt Alex wat het is om écht lief te hebben. Om iets te willen dat niet breekt. Maar net wanneer hij denkt dat hij haar heeft, keert zijn verleden terug. Femke. De vonk die nooit is gedoofd. Het meisje dat zijn bloed sneller deed koken, zijn verstand deed vervagen, en zijn hart weer naar beneden trok - terug in de diepte waar hij dacht nooit meer te belanden. Nu staat Alex gevangen tussen twee werelden: De zachte, oprechte liefde van Lisa. En de rauwe, verleidelijke lust die Femke opnieuw in hem aanwakkert. Twee vrouwen. Twee gevoelens. Eén man die langzaam aan zichzelf verliest. Lust of liefde - wat overwint? Elk hoofdstuk wordt zorgvuldig geschreven in Word - met aandacht voor detail, emotie en diepgang. Ik herschrijf, verbeter en bouw elk stuk op tot het precies voelt zoals het moet. Ik hoop dat mijn woorden je meenemen in het verhaal, dat je erin verdwaalt, en misschien zelfs een stukje van jezelf terugvindt.

Lily Holloway was born from shadow and shaped by loss. Years after being sent away for her own safety, she returns to Heliosa-the sunlit kingdom that once part of her childhood and now holds the grave of the mother she never got to understand. But home is not the same as she left it. Her power, unpredictable and feared, stirs beneath her skin. Old memories rise as sharply as her blade. And the city she thought she remembered pulses with new life... and new dangers. Fate crosses her path with Juliene-the gentle fruit vendor whose quiet kindness once soothed her darkest days. Yet in the throne room looms King Leorien, the fire-born ruler tied to her past in ways she cannot yet face, a man whose devotion cuts as deeply as his temper. As ancient shadows reawaken across the land and secrets buried between in Heliosa and Thessarion begin to unravel, Lily must confront the truth behind her power-and what the world expects her to become. Torn between the flame that once burned her life apart and the calm that reminds her she is more than her past, Lily stands on the edge of a destiny written long before she was born. In a world where light and darkness walk side by side, she must choose: Will she be the weapon they fear... or the hero they never saw coming?
