Inspired by the Vampire Diaries and Vampire Academy. Everyone says Isabel is a monster. Lisa isn't sure she's wrong. Set in the late 1990s, this dark fantasy psychological thriller follows, a girl recovering from a gunshot wound that fractured more than her body. Numbed by drugs and buried trauma, she's trying not to remember the past-or the woman who insists she's been lying about it. Isabel claims she was framed. Megan insists she's dangerous. Both say they're protecting Willow. As the adults wage a quiet war of truth and control, Willow clings to Arya, her best friend and secret vampire, whose own life has been shaped by restriction and fear. Their bond is intense, unhealthy, and necessary. When the weight of inherited lies becomes unbearable, the girls make a choice that changes everything. Some families are built on love. Others on denial. And some secrets don't stay buried. But denial has consequences. And some truths refuse to stay buried. In a world where vampirism is real, memory is unreliable, and love can be as destructive as it is protective, Colak Clan is a dark fantasy psychological thriller about trauma, motherhood, and what happens when survival turns into control.

Humanity has fallen, hiding underground for the sake of their survival. Clinging to the remains of the old civilization, bringing back old vehicles and modifying them to become battle-machines, steeds to lead the human resistance against their enemy, the harbingers of their collapse: The Razorgen. Highly advanced Biomechanical beings resembling animals that once roamed the Earth. The story follows Thomas Mere and Mia Reze, captains of a team that they built: The Blackout Ghouls. With their flagship car, Little Ghoul, they race through the dusty trails of their collapsed world, letting their love lead the way. If the world has fallen, has love vanished as well? Would ending this war, be the answer to find happiness? Has love perished because of the machines? Or did love perish, because humanity forsake it? *Author's note: A new part will be published on the 15th and 30th of every month. Also, at the beginning of certain chapters, there will be a note stating if a chapter is long and the next part will uploaded the next day.*

❝No relationship. No drama. No anything. Okay?❞ ❝Okay.❞ A simple contract. A simple agreement. But when Samayra is involved, nothing remains as simple as it should be. ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I am close to finishing my studies, my Master's degree being the last sprinkle to grace the mountain of frosting spread on the cake that is my life. After this I am supposed to step out into the real world, away from the fixed syllabus and exams and assignments that AI helps me with. I have to have it all figured out really soon. I have a simple life, really. There is nothing much to it. At least not anymore. So yeah it should be easy to figure it out. That is what I thought and all I had to do was keep it that simple. But, in short, I didn't let it be that simple. I had to spice it up. Against my better conscience, I just had to. I wanted to spice it up, but just a bit. A bit. Controlled spice. Let's just say that I added more spice than I could handle, and simple Samayra got stuck in a contract she made herself. You can guess the next half of the story now. Yep, I broke my own contract and all that just for a guy named Kabir. ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ Tropes him x her ⋆ nonchalant x deeply feeling ⋆ avoidant x anxious ⋆ control freak x control freak ⋆ casual x complicated ⋆ he doesn't do love x she doesn't trust it ⋆ "no feelings" x "too many feelings" no strings attached | rebound romance | slow burn | opposites attract | emotionally unavailable | hookup to love | "we said no feelings" ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

In the humid, sun drenched parks of Mumbai, two souls collided by chance. Prateek, a man quietly drifting through a life that felt hollow, and Anushka, a girl chasing a dream that seemed just out of reach. For months, their lives were a delicate dance of morning jogs, shared dinners, and a crimson suit that remained unworn. He was the "Golden Boy" who had mastered the art of the rehearsed smile, she was the aspiring actress struggling to find the one thing her craft required: the feeling of true love. As the months bled into one another, they lived in a synchronized rhythm, yet remained separated by the walls of their own insecurities. But love is a fire that cannot be ignored forever. In the bitter cold of December 2022, a single heartbeat changed everything and a single silence shattered it all. One wish in a temple, one confession in the moonlight, and one disappearance that changed their destiny forever. This is the story of the bloom before the frost and the abyss that opened when the light went out.
