Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

"I missed you so much, Hassan. I was just moving in that kitchen fah, but your thoughts were a second away from making me crazy!" She lifted up her legs and planted a smooch on his left cheek.

At the heart of Amberguarde lies Stormvein Institute, a fortress where heirs of noble houses, warlocks, paladins, and summoners are trained to master the three great forces-Solar, Lunar, and Astral. But beneath its towering halls of living stone, rivalry runs deeper than magic. Macey Rinaria, the so-called Mad Mage, bears lunar power too volatile to control. Haunted by whispers and a past drowned in fire, she knows one misstep could shatter more than her reputation. Connor Heslington, son of a knightly dynasty, carries the weight of his family's Astral legacy. His oath is to order, not chaos-and certainly not to mages like Macey. When their clash in the lecture hall spirals into a duel that awakens forbidden powers, the two are forced onto a collision course that could tear apart the fragile peace between their houses. Fog conceals secrets. Glyphs hum with warning. And as ancient forces stir-Hinara, Ceao, and Gilgamesh-the truth becomes clear: Stormvein is not a sanctuary. It is a battleground. Magic is rivalry. Rivalry is survival. Began: 7.02.2019 Completed: 21.04.2020 Rewrite: 15.09.2025
