Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

Damian DeGuia's your average 16 year old kid - just trying to keep his grades up, navigate through the motions of high school, and maintain the friend group he cherishes. From maintaining the growth he's gained from his past of constant temper to hiding his crush from everyone he knows, his life is a similar path most may have followed before. But underneath his stoic demeanour lies a web of feelings, struggles, and a goal to prove that he's not the angry little kid he was.

Grief. Love. Destiny. Rhea arrives at the palace, haunted by loss and a prophecy that could destroy everything. Every choice has a cost... every heart, a war. How far will she go? Daily Updates from 22 Nov 2025

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

High school senior Jason Morris has been living something of a double life. On one hand, he's one of the best cellists in his school's recent history and a half-decent student. On the other hand, he's spent years deeply intertwined with the street life of West Midnight, a neighborhood that sticks out like a sore thumb in the town of Midnight and a place where fate is not kind to the residents. Jason knows better than to think he'll be the exception to this curse, boys like him are especially unlikely to get out of West Midnight, but he's come to peace with it over the past half a decade. At least, Jason is at peace with everything until he has his chance to become one of the lucky ones. With an offer from the area's best arts college hanging over his head, Jason must choose which part of his life he's going to hold on to, and which part he's going to let go of. Is he going to get out of this neighborhood and have a chance to become something greater than he ever imagined, or is he going to live and die a West Midnight boy through and through? And what will the choice he makes give him or cost him?

As a reclusive author who dedicates all her time to the books she publishes, Detta feels something is missing. Writing was supposed to be an escape. A way for her to leave the bland life she was living. Detta never meant to be a part of it. After falling asleep on an open document, Detta finds herself in a world so foreign, yet so familiar. It's the very same world that she created. Though, unfortunately for Detta, the novel is no breezy summer romance. There, a ruthless tyrant is raiding the lands in search of his fated bond. With the author's unexpected appearance, he believes that it is her. His revelation derails the novel's plot, and it's up to Detta to make sure that it gets back on the right track. This tyrant has no idea that he is meant to die. Or so the story goes. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬: Strong Language, Explicit Mature/Sexual Content, Violence, and Gore.

In a world of betrayal, the most lethal threat isn't the enemy they share... but the vengeful devotion binding them together.
