A tribute story to HPL

You have given beautiful names to things that destroyed you. Maybe that's what we do when something hurts too much to call it what it is. We make excuses.
We romanticize.
We rename the unbearable until it almost feels beautiful. But there comes a moment when the story you've been telling yourself begins to change. And when it does, you have to decide whether you want to recognize the person staring back at you. This is a story about becoming. About the things we mistake for love.
About the things we refuse to see.
About the version of yourself you don't realize you're losing until she's already gone. Some transformations save you. Some simply teach you how to survive. And some... You don't notice until it's too late.

Remembering a moment in time

In a quiet town where time never seems to move quite right, a young apprentice stumbles upon his master's greatest creation - a clock that doesn't just tell time, but controls it. As gears turn and secrets unravel, he learns that every tick hides a memory, every tock a lie. When the clockmaker vanishes, he must decide: uncover the truth and risk tearing time apart, or let the past stay buried forever.

Restoration

A short poem about Ella...the little dog with a great spirit.

|ONC2026 Honorable Mention| She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation. *** In a world swallowed by the Ever-Dark, Iva Vernigora is nothing more than a lowly servant in the house of the cruel Voivode Yakub Ivanov, Duke of Highroot. But when Voivode blackmails her with the lives of her parents, Iva is forced to pretend she's his daughter, as she infiltrates the royal academy of magic - Kolegium. Voivode Yakub's order is absolute: poison the Prince Konstantin Veliki. Prince Konstantin is the heir to the throne, the last of the line of Dragons - a Zmey warrior of light, who was blessed with a dragon-shifting gift. At a first glance, he is nothing but a smug, pompous royal, and everything Iva is supposed to hate. Yet every touch, and every shared lesson at Kolegium blurs the line between the enemy she must kill and the man she is beginning to crave. While Iva stalks her prey as a knife in the dark, waiting for the chance to extinguish Konstantin's light, she discovers that the dragon everyone fears is the only thing standing between humanity and the void. As the Ever-Dark Shades rise, Iva must make an impossible choice. Will she carry out her sinister orders and secure her parents' freedom, or will she stand by the Dragon in the battle for the world's last light? *** The Shades are coming. The Dragons are falling. And the Eternal Spark is waiting for its host. © 2026 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompts: 97.
