#WINNER OF WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 (MATTERS OF HEART CATEGORY) Veritas is one of the oldest most popular newspapers in India, having been established prior to Independence. Born into a family of hard hitting columnists, Anita is a woman who has been raised on facts and logistics. And she knows the manner in which they must be presented to the world. And thus, as far was the world was concerned, Anita Sinha had had two accidents . One landed her in a wheelchair for a year when she was twenty-two. The other, several decades apart was a plane crash that killed her. But in between those two, another one lay, unheard of. In the year of her first accident, Anita was sent to England for rest and recovery. Amidst the process what ensued was a dangerous and passionate affair with the art teacher at the nearby St. Anne's school. Women who fall in love are frowned upon, Anita knew. But what happened to women who fell in love with women? This is India in the seventies, when Emergency raged on in the country. This is the seventies when bell bottoms and flared jeans were the rage in the world. This is the story of a woman who fell in love with a woman. Section 377 was decriminalised only in 2018; but even prior to that wasn't love just love? The story that didn't make it to the headlines. ( 59,000 WORDS )

*Cover done by @cherryyclouds , I am eternally grateful and so so so happy with it!!!!* There it is- that little skipped beat sending your heart plummeting, the jolt from nowhere that widens your eyes as dilates your pupils and makes you breathe faster, the guilty sensations that you learn to love. And it's hit alright- found its perfect targets. A firm bullseye. But Aphrodite's game is going to be drawn out- for we do so love the drama. The path of emotion is one that can be hard to navigate, and that's just what Damian and Raven will have to do as they face new threats, old faces, strange feelings, and familiar places. Oh the joys of adolescent life. AUTHOR: So, hiya my dears, I reckon quite a few people will know me from my book 'Demons', but this one is in no way linked to that one. It's set in the DCAMU as I feel most people know the ship or were introduced to it via the animated movies. It's set after Batman: Hush (so after TT vs JL and The Judas Contact) and will take lots of comic elements too- though I will be going mainly with the DCAMU characterisation. Just so you know! Anyways- enjoy!

Once there was a king and a queen with three lovely daughters. The youngest, Psyche, was so beautiful, so fair of face and form that she was revered throughout the land, and the people of her kingdom reached out to touch her as she passed. No suitors dared to cross her doorstep. So highly was she worshiped that Psyche was deeply lonely. Her beauty became legend, far and wide, and it was not long before words reached the ears of Venus. Tales of the young princess enraged the jealous goddess, and she made plans to dispose of her. Venus called upon her own daughter, Cupid to do her bidding. It was meant to be a quick mission except Cupid did not expect to find herself entranced by the same passion she inflicted on others. |Lesbian retelling of the Roman Mythology|

Population levels have reached critical, forcing the government to step in. A new system is built - an assigned mate for 16-year-olds, one child per family, all done with a computer algorithm. Careers are determined by what job is needed and best suited for. Any deviation and they face the risk of becoming a Lower--the unwanted dregs of society. Or sometimes something far worse.
