#ONC2026 Prompt: "You're on a first date when you suddenly realize the person sitting across from you isn't entirely human." Every year, in the harmonious province of Bellavigna, the long-standing tradition of hosting the Velluto Ball promises music, masks, and one quiet death. Gregorio Reatta arrives in the small province expecting indulgence, not intrigue. But when rumors of vanishing guests collide with the charm of a quiet, enigmatic woman, he finds himself torn between destiny and duty. As the Velluto Ball nears, Gregorio must choose between chasing desire and uncovering the truth. --- "You don't understand what I am." "Then help me." She stared at him, wide-eyed, as stillness between them quivered. Then, with shaking hands, she reached for her veil. "I wanted to give you a choice," she whispered. "But I was never supposed to love you." Then-slowly, deliberately-she let the veil fall. It slipped from her fingers like something sacred, drifting down through the thick silence and landing soundlessly on the cobblestones between them. And with it, the world changed.

Main Prompt: And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. When a streak of light sends paramedic Leilana Yang into the heart of Northview, Maine forest, she never thought she would find herself in the middle of harboring a fugitive alien outlaw. Between her job fighting death and her family's future matches, Leilana wants nothing to do with her new "roommate". Add attacks on her life by alien bounty hunters and her brain is more then ready to kick him out. It's too bad her heart is too busy making other plans. As for number 287, he never thought he would find himself stuck on earth with a human as a "roommate". If they were back in the arena, she would be dead in a heartbeat, feasted on by the beasts controlled by the most powerful. Yet, that doesn't seem to do much for this woman who constantly seems to dive head-first into trouble without fear; a trait that drives him insane in more ways then one. With bounties on their heads, can the two of them survive long enough to see an end to this mess or will their own conflicting feelings be enough for them to claim each other's heads?

Main Prompt: You discover that the dragon everyone fears is in danger, and you are the only one who can save it from the knight sworn to slay it. In the Empire of the Iron-ridge, humans are second class citizens. To shifters, humans are nothing more then a play toy which they can mend and break in whatever way they please to, leaving them to fend on the streets for nothing but crumbs. So when Cynder is tasked with infiltrating the palace of the grand emperor and killing the prince in exchange for a lifetime supply of her sister's medicine, she knows that this is the very moment she has been waiting for. Until the very first night is tainted with the hints of betrayal...because the moment her eyes meet Prince Aasim, something primal awakens in both of them. History is calling for a change between the shifters and the humans. The way of life between them must be rewritten, and Cynder might be the flame needed to burn down the old to make way for the new. But if she's not careful, all she's ever love will burn in the carnage left behind. .

~ a Vikings meets Pride & Prejudice fanfiction ~ He is crippled. He is unlovable. He is ruthless . Together with his brothers and the Great Heathen Army, Viking warrior Ivar the Boneless has been wreaking havoc on England for the past two years. Some of his brothers think it has been enough but Ivar is just getting started. While quarreling about their next move, Ivar makes one mistake too many and accidentally kills his brother Sigurd. Heartbroken, he retreats to the forest to indulge in one vulnerable moment, convinced nobody can see him. Elizabeth Bennett is intelligent, free-spirited, and sharp-tongued. Together with her mother and sisters, she manages the Bennett estate in Mercia while her father takes up his seat in King Aethelwulf's council in Wessex. She did not plan on stumbling over a weeping Viking in the woods and much less on getting scolded for it, but here she is, wrestled to the ground by a son of Ragnar, the most broken, yet most beautiful man she has ever met. He better polishes up his manners if he knows what's good for him. The problem is that perhaps he doesn't. 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 An ONC2026 entry Prompt 46: We love broken people, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you. 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 🪓❤️‍🔥⚔️💋❤️‍🩹 Content Warnings Violence, swearing, perhaps some smut, perhaps not, I'll update smut warnings as I go along and tag upcoming smut in the beginning of a chapter if it should come to this 😬 I can also say that if there will be smut, it will be consensual.

Kailani and Annaliese Jade (AJ) have known each other for nearly twenty years. At age eight, they became best friends. At sixteen, AJ left Kailani heartbroken when her family moves away. Before AJ left, Kailani wrote her a confession that she burned in their childhood hideout with the hope that AJ would never find out. Now twelve years later, AJ is back in their hometown for the summer and, from where Kailani is standing, hasn't changed a bit. While their time together may be short, Kailani can't forget what she's been hiding for all this time. Even the ocean waves seem to remind her of her secrets. Friendship is safety, but now that she has the chance to rekindle what they could've had twelve years ago, Kailani is panicking. When she learns that AJ has the letter that burned all those years ago, things change-and Kailani can only hope it'll be for the better. --- Logline: Two long-time best friends rekindle their friendship in their beachfront hometown after twelve years apart, but the safety of friendship might just be hanging in the balance when old feelings rise to the surface and the burn of secret confessions ignites the spark of romance in the air. --- Prompts: #7: One morning, the ocean washes up a message. One you've been waiting your entire life to hear. #24: Staying as friends feels safe, but that doesn't mean it's the path you're meant to take. #85: You thought you'd burned that letter years ago, the one with the confession no one was ever meant to read. But somehow, it's back and in their hands. --- Copyright © 2026 KC_Han_writes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. All plot concepts are my own. Characters are of my own imagination.
