December, 1899. Haunted by the ghost of her great-grandmother, Lucia travels from London to Yorkshire, staying at the place that she sees in dreams, the place her mother left to her - Nightshade Manor. What she finds there is the story of her ancestors from a century before, along with their troubled specters who remain in the cold, cobwebbed manor and on the wild, windswept moors. Lucia must banish them in order to save them, in order to feel the warmth of the sun and springtime again. And she must create her own story, in a new century, in order to live. *This short story is an entry for the Wattpad "Wuthering Heights Reimagined" Movie Contest, January 2026. #wutheringheightsmovie

A witch's curse turns cruel Lord Caspian into a beast, and causes Transylvania to suffer a century of snowfall and blood-shed. When the Hershel men trespass on the Beast's property during a hunt, Lord Caspian captures and threatens them with death. Harlan Hershel offers his daughter Rosalind to the beast for a month to save his sons. But when the Beast sees Rosalind, he believes she is the reincarnation of his late wife and becomes fiercely drawn to her. Though terrified at first, Rosalind grows fond of the abominable lord. The closer she gets to the secrets Caspian keeps, especially of the mysterious stranger in the violin room, the closer she comes to the darkness waking inside her. When Rosalind's true calling is discovered, that she is the one prophesied to kill the lord, her burning desire for him threatens to destroy the person she once was, and all of Transylvania. Rosalind must decided if she is strong enough to destroy Caspian and end his rein of blood, or give into the dark love she has found and become a monster herself. Beauty and the Beast meets Dracula.

Crescent Bay is the kind of place where secrets are meant to stay buried. When the past resurfaces in a way no one expects, a dangerous investigation pulls two seasoned operatives into a case that refuses to follow the rules. What begins as a routine assignment quickly reveals something darker-something unfinished-and far closer to home than either of them is prepared for. They've worked side by side for years. Trusted each other with their lives. Avoided the one risk neither could afford to take. Until there's nowhere left to run. As the threat closes in and the harbor becomes a pressure point instead of a refuge, old instincts collide with unspoken desire. Forced proximity strips away professional distance, leaving behind truths neither can ignore-and a connection that's been waiting far too long. Because in Crescent Bay, danger doesn't just come from the shadows. Sometimes it comes from what you've been trying not to feel. And when the past demands its due, surviving may require risking everything-including the one person who could change it all.

Twenty‑year‑old Alva Larsson has just moved out of her family home, determined to prove she can stand on her own. With rent approaching, savings running out, and no job lined up, she's thrown into the deep end of adulthood faster than she expected. Her life has always revolved around discipline and movement - swimming for her, ballet for her brother, gymnastics for her sister, and her mother's world of dance. But independence is a different kind of challenge, and Alva quickly learns that surviving on her own requires more than athletic grit. As she searches for work and tries to build a life from scratch, Alva must navigate new responsibilities, unexpected pressures, and the reality of growing up without a safety net. This is a story about finding stability, discovering strength, and learning who you are when everything familiar falls away.
