"𝘼 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚." Sebastian wanted an escape. For years, he had treated his mother's basement as a shelter, hiding from a small town that felt like a cheap video game with a predictable script. He was almost done trying to find a reason to stay-until Violet arrived. The Zuzu City girl with the mismatched eyes didn't play by the rules of the valley. She was a captivating distraction that completely ruined the quiet security of his isolation. For two years, they played a dangerous game of silent observation, shared secrets, and mutual fixation in a claustrophobic town. Until the night Violet vanished without a trace. No body. No closure. Just a mysterious case that Pelican Town slowly forced itself to forget. But three months later, Violet walks right back into Stardew. She claims to have no memory of where she's been. Now, caught between the life he tried to rebuild and the ghost of the only girl he ever wanted, Sebastian is about to realize that whatever climbed out of the earth didn't return to save him-it came to drag him into the dark.

It was common for children of the Egyptian gods to die--- not that Heba Badran knew that. On her sweet-sixteen, Heba's demigod-blood gets her killed and she's transported to the underworld. Her heart is weighed to determine if she's a threat to mortals and gods... but the scales indicate she's wavering between damnation and salvation. Heba's sent to a limbo halfway house to balance between chaos and order, or face Ammit's Second Death. But between the lines of the afterlife there are horrors that feed off pain, and soon a monster, known as a heart-eater, invades the halfway house to claim her broken heart. With a 'lucky-cat' daughter of Bastet, a shy son of Ra, and a socially brain-dead son of Set at her side, Heba must learn to protect herself and find her way home. But can she balance her soul with the Egyptian feather of Ma'at (truth and order) before she is consumed by the power under her skin? **FIRST DRAFT** + SHORT CHAPTERS + INCLUDES DIGITAL DRAWINGS + POLLS AFTER EVERY CHAPTER + WEEKLY UPDATES Follow the story in real time. 👻✌️💀

I made a career travelling through time killing the worst people in history: Gacy, Denke, Dahmler, Vasquez, Hitler more than once. But it's when I keep seeing her at every killing that I realise that I have competition. I might be the next one on her list, and the only thing more dangerous than being in a hitwoman's sights is falling in love with her.

When her therapy app accidentally sends Riley's private confessions to a random British expat - and his to her - what began as a glitch quickly evolves into the kind of intimacy that can only exist between strangers. A slow-burn contemporary romance. * * * When a company health initiative forces Riley Markle to download a trendy mental health app, she fills out the onboarding survey without much thought, expecting to get paired with a virtual gym buddy who'll send thumbs-up emojis twice a week. Instead, she gets paired with Joe, a lonely British expat whose wellness concern of Compulsive Behaviors is flagged by the AI system as a perfect match for Riley. Riley resolves to complete her month of check-ins and be done with it - until a glitch in the app sends both her and Joe's embarrassing therapy videos to each other instead of their therapist. Soon, Riley and Joe are talking late into the night, exchanging thirst-trap videos of their weekend routines by day, and thinking about each other constantly. Both are smitten, both are broken, and neither of them knows how to do this without destroying each other. The plan: Limit all communication to the app until after Day 30, then see where things go. But plans change. * * * 🏆 High Rankings: #1 in LITERARY #1 in QUICKREAD #1 in NEWENGLAND #1 in SHORTCHAPTERS (out of 38,000 stories) #3 in EPISTOLARY #87 in ROMCOM (out of 35,000 stories) #147 in ROMANTIC (out of 86,000 stories) Updated November 2025
