Ayzel, a girl unjustly exiled to Earth, has to scheme and fight her way back, to return to a world ruled by light, darkness, and hatred, in her lifelong quest for justice, revenge, and, most importantly, power. Ayzel is in exile. Caged among humans, she has found a way to survive in their strange world. Locking the memories of her old life away, so she can fight to stay alive in this one. That is, until the prince from the realm of night comes to remind her of her heritage. Ayzel has to find her path away from imprisonment and back to Armonya, the land that shunned her for her powerlessness. Betrayed, wounded, barely hanging on to her sanity, but never broken. Will claiming her destiny really be as easy as she thinks, or is her return only the beginning? When there's no one left to trust, and new enemies surface, how can Ayzel keep on surviving? Prince Kieran has spent all his life training for an inevitable war. Following all of his father's orders like any soldier would. With the power of the God of Darkness in his hands, not many see him as a boy, but as their last shred of hope. That is, until his orders are to bring home a girl from the enemy kingdom, a girl he tells himself not to care for. Kieran must do everything in his power to make Ayzel trust him, not realizing he is losing his heart in the process. But does he know all of her? And when the cursed truth rears its head, could he ever hate her? And worse, can he hurt her enough to make her hate him? Can they handle the consequences of keeping each other alive? As war threatens to rage upon them, will Ayzel, Kieran and their few honest friends truly prove themselves powerful enough to save their world? To save one another? And what will the cost be?

!!CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! "You're not how I remember you." Theodore mumbled, loud enough for it to hang in the cigarette-smoke-infused air between us, but quiet enough for just the two of us to hear. It was heavier than the smoke, maybe heavier than the fallen expression on his face, but I didn't want to test that. "I've just..." I shifted, crossing one leg over the other, fingers twisting the silver ring on my middle finger. "... changed." His gaze lingered on me for a beat too long before he looked away, tapping ash neatly into a tray. "You really have changed," he murmured, almost to himself. I raised a brow, my fidgeting stuttering just slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?" His shoulders rose and fell in a faint shrug, plastering a face of nonchalance. "Not sure yet." --- A dual POV story in which Aliyah Riddle and Theodore Nott find love amongst all the hardships of fighting for their life, for love, and even going behind all they have been convinced is right.

Now five months pregnant and still alone, she's left trying to prepare for a baby while untangling herself from years that have left her without an identity. She isn't looking for a savior, just wishing to be stable enough for her baby. Eric isn't good with words. He never has been. But in every small act of service, every quiet presence, every protective glance when life reminds Cora how vulnerable she still feels, he says everything he doesn't know how to speak aloud. He doesn't try to save her, but somewhere in that silently protective presence of his, Eric becomes something more dangerous than a savior. He quickly becomes someone she begins to trust.

Prompt ​21. You wake from a dream about a perfect faceless soulmate, only to meet someone in real life who feels exactly like them and somehow knows things you've never told anyone. **Still Hearts Beat Deep** Lucia Natalia and Orion "Ryan" Valentino leave Chicago for the sun-soaked promise of Fort Lauderdale - she's chasing a career in marine biology, he's on the verge of a Discovery Channel deal for his nature content. Life is perfect until Ryan vanishes during a solo trip to the Everglades. His car is found. His canoe turns up empty. His body never does. Alone in a state that was supposed to be their fresh start, Lucia is drowning in grief - until the dreams begin. A figure made of light appears to her every night, faceless and warm, asking her what's wrong. She can't remember the full conversations when she wakes, only the feeling of safety and the scent of cashmere and sea salt lingering on her skin. The figure becomes clearer each night. Hands she doesn't recognize. A voice she can almost place. A name he tries to say before she's pulled awake - "Ma-" When she meets Maverick Eris in a Fort Lauderdale restaurant, everything about him feels impossibly familiar. His voice. His hands. The way he knows her favorite dish before she says a word. He's magnetic, wealthy, and carries his own grief - a story about someone he lost, a place he visits to face his fears. He shows her a Florida she didn't know existed. Boat parties and coral reefs and sunsets over Biscayne Bay. He makes the water feel safe again. He even takes her to the Everglades, and for the first time, she doesn't flinch. But behind the penthouse walls and abalone shells and crystals he calls "spiritual," there are rooms Lucia hasn't opened. And when she finally does, the truth waiting inside will rewrite every moment she thought was love. Some hearts were never meant to beat together. Some just beat until they're told to stop.
