♰ HEDES TO PERSEPHONE ✶ ⟶ I sensed you before I saw you.The sugar flavour of meadow wrapped nectar in the air, and my eyes searched for its source, your face the essence of what I had been waiting for all those cold and lonely years my family had made me the guardian of Elysian and hell, until you stepped into my world like a galaxy bursting in front of an astronomer's telescope. Tell me, with all those speckles on your skin did anyone tell you that you are a constellation, waiting to be loved and explored? Did the bumbling River-Gods who tried to court you ever understand that you were destined for so much more? I saw you, Spring Goddess, restless in your loneliness, pulling at crimson flowers to watch them die, wondering if immortality was worth anything if you were powerless to have any control over your fate or your destiny. Come now, tell the truth. I saw you rattle at the invisible chains of smother, of boredom, of too much comfort. ❞ ❝𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂; ❞ ❝𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝❞ 𝘈𝘓𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘐𝘕 𝘉𝘖𝘙𝘋𝘌𝘙𝘓𝘈𝘕𝘋 / 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 3 𝙍𝙮𝙤𝙝𝙚𝙞 𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙪 𝙭 𝙛𝙚𝙢!𝙤𝙘 ᝰ.ᐟ © 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 ᵀʰᵉ.ʳᵉᵃˡ.ᴸᵒˡᵃ

𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐘𝐀 YASASHĪ -----» has been burdened with survival her entire life. Being constantly surrounded by crime and violence meant she had to be cautious. Not a single hair could cross a line, otherwise she'd be killed. She learnt to read people on a whole other level. She knew what people wanted before they even wanted it. She could practically hear every emotion going through a persons head, her only problem was that she could feel every emotion too. 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 SHUNTARŌ -----»is the opposite. Emotions are a foreign concept. Selflessness is a weakness. The only way to stay ahead was to make sure that other people were behind. So, he ensured that he was in front by using others to protect himself. He didn't care who got hurt. Self-preservation is his key to survival. Now that they are stuck in the borderlands together, Katya has to survive with him and face the darkest moments in her life. And Chishiya has to watch as Katya does the thing he is incapable of doing. Care.

𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 Between one heartbeat and the next, there exists a space: liminal, fragile, infinite. It's the line between what was and what could be, between memory and oblivion, life and whatever echoes after it. 𝑴𝑰𝒁𝑼𝑵𝑶 𝑹𝑬𝑰𝑵𝑨, a young rehabilitation psychologist with a fractured past, wakes to find herself in a world where rules have no meaning, only survival does. She doesn't remember how she arrived, or the life she left behind. All she knows is that every choice is a gamble, and every loss takes more than blood. 𝑺𝑯𝑼𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑹Ō 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑯𝑰𝒀𝑨, a prodigy of the mind and a man built from silence, moves through that same world with surgical precision. Logic is his weapon, detachment his shield. But when paths collide, something within that liminal space, between fear and curiosity, intellect and instinct, begins to shift. In the stillness between chaos and truth, Liminal tells the story of two people standing on the edge of reason, where love and survival can no longer be told apart.

𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐢 was raised to be the queen on the chessboard.

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚, her mirror and her opposite, the heir to a rival empire. Their rivalry was a cold war of perfect scores, stolen glances, and a game neither could afford to lose. A lifelong match of white versus black. But when the world shatters and they're stuck in the Borderlands, their endless match is interrupted by something far more dangerous. Now, stripped of privilege and trapped in a new world, Rin and Chishiya must face the one thing they never prepared for: Each other.
