Neil Khanna survived an enemy attack, a head injury, and military bureaucracy. What he did not survive peacefully was a girl who started appearing in his dreams without clearance or consent. The problem? She was very real. Neil finds her photograph in his fallen comrade's wallet and promptly develops what doctors call post-traumatic symptoms and what everyone else calls a full-blown filmy situation. As Neil sets out to locate a woman he technically has never met-but has already argued with in his sleep-he discovers that grief is complicated, guilt is inconvenient, and Indian society has absolutely no patience for men who claim they are not in love.

Love is like confecting the castles of cards, painted with the vibrant colours of dreams and passions. It has no warps and woofs. Rather its aroma spreads in the thin air, mingling its presence all around. Their gazes stumbled into the deep, dark oceans of the black orbs, submerging completely into each other's warmth of 'Love'. With a lingering smile, fluttering hearts and hovering souls, together they build their Castles of Dreams just like assembling the cards properly into a beautiful manor. Will the garden of their castle bloom into the buds of cordial or they will be toppled down with a blow of wind? The Carved anecdotes of 'Tasher Ghar'..... Starting on : 28.10.23

A princess in search of her past. A boy driven by money. A crew that is loyal to the end. Princess Ria is adopted, and she has lived with the acceptance that she will never know her real parents. But when she learns of the existence of her adoption document that was kept hidden from her all her life, the desire to know her past is triggered. She is determined to get her hands on it and she sets off on an adventure aboard the Opal with her childhood friend--an army lieutenant--and a crew of cunning sea drifters. She hires this group to plan and execute a heist to retrieve the document, but when she obtains it, she finds more than what she is looking for--something that can root doubt in the people of the kingdom and threaten her brother's throne. On her journey, she works with Gin, a sea drifter and a concresi--one with the ability to influence tangible non-living materials. For years, he has worked on grand thievery jobs, gaining a reputation for the Opal. He is a skilled dredger, and undefeated in coin dives. Despite his past, he is strong minded but bad history had its way of sowing cynicism in him. He cares about money and his crewmates, nothing more. To him, the rich are all the same selfish and egocentric people, and he sees Ria as one of them. Ria and Gin don't trust each other but when plans go awry, they are forced to set aside their differences to survive. Running for their lives across the Kingdom of the Draga Isles, a friendship grows between them and blooms into a forbidden passion that neither of them has expected. * * Inspired by the Bajau (sea nomads) in the Philippines. * Completed Draft 0 * #Romantasy #Fantasy #Steampunk #Romance #Adventure #YoungAdult #Action * #20 in #FantasyRomance (out of 23K stories) (04/30/23) #2 in #FilipinoAuthor (05/29/23) #12 in #Filipino (07/09/23) #3 in #Steampunk (05/28/23) #16 in #Heist (05/27/23) #10 in #Gypsy (05/27/23)

** Jamie lowered himself so that his face met mine. "Are you stupid?" he spat, cocking his head to the side. "Jamie!" I cried between gasps. "You're hurting me." Pulling my head forward a few inches, he then slammed it back against the wall. My ears began to make a sharp ringing sound, forcing me to close my eyes just to try and silence the pain. ** Isobel Tully accepts her abusive relationship as something that's meant to be, a karmic consequence of her past. She believes wholeheartedly that she deserves nothing better than her life with Jamie... But then she meets local musician Will. Kind, funny, insanely attractive Will... and he just so happens to find out her secret. As her existence at home becomes more and more unbearable, Isobel must decide if she's willing to risk her life for the opportunity to have the one she's always wanted, but will she get tangled up in a web of lies before she gets the chance? Content Warning: There are some very descriptive scenes of physical, emotional and sexual abuse/ violence. There are also descriptions of rape which could be upsetting. This story is not fully edited or spellchecked as of yet so please let me know if you find any errors or contradictions in the comments.

Elliot Wu has spent his whole life lying to himself and to everyone around him. He tells himself that he is ordinary. He tells himself that he isn't special or different or a freak. He tells himself he is just like anybody else, a normal human being. But that isn't the case, of course. Because Elliot can see things. He can glimpse things, short flashes of visions, and he knows they're visions of how the people he meets will die. He predicted the car accident that killed his mother when he was five. The deadly sickness that took his father and sister when he was twelve. And now he's seeing the death of himself.
