    In the glittering sprawl of Abuja's elite circles, Amani is a vibrant force of curiosity and rebellion, drawn to the shadows others fear. When she crosses paths with Arfat-a brilliant, enigmatic man with a darkness he keeps carefully masked-her intrigue threatens to consume them both. Arfat is controlled, untouchable, and entirely uninterested in playing by anyone's emotional rules. But Amani isn't like the others. She isn't afraid of him-and that makes her dangerous. As their worlds collide in a dance of temptation, secrets, and unravelling control, Amani begins to see the cracks in Arfat's armour, and what lies beneath is both beautiful and terrifying. But love, when touched by darkness, is never simple. It is a plunge into the unknown. An abyss you choose. And sometimes, just sometimes, what you find at the bottom is light.

    "the healer likes t' sleep. like, a lot." Axe looks at the sole female AND human member of Nightmare's subordinates. She was only ever awake for about 8-10 hours a day, rarely ever 12, it was both fascinating and irritating at the same time. He was damn sure humans would be awake for more hours than that, he even asked Murder at the time if it was normal. Said skeleton didn't give a single care though, his words: "who cares, makes her more tolerable. 'sides she gets her job done." The cracked skeleton just couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it than meets the EYE. ━━━PHOTO CREDITS: Whale鯨豚 [@Whale5511] on X! ━━━MOST NOTABLE RANKING: #1 in sansxreader, horrortale, something new and badsanses on 23/12/2025 #1 in undertale on 25/12/2025 #3 in bittersweet on 24/12/2025 #5 in reader on 24/12/2025 #19 in sans on 23/12/2025 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DATES PUBLISHED: 001 ━━ July 29th of '25 002 ━━ July 30th of '25 003 ━━ August 1 of '25 004 ━━ August 3 of '25 005 ━━ August 6 of '25 006 ━━ August 8 of '25 007 ━━ November 8 of '25 008 ━━ December 22 of '25 009 ━━ December 23 of '25

    I loved him quietly. Without expectations. Without promises. Without ever being loved back. He was a part of my life - but I was never a part of his world. This is not a love story. It's a story of one-sided love, of school corridors and silent glances, of notebooks shared and words left unsaid. A story about loving someone selflessly, watching them find happiness elsewhere, and learning how to move on without forgetting. Set in classrooms, exams, friendships, and quiet heartbreaks, this book follows a girl who loved deeply and silently - and a boy who never knew. Because some loves don't need endings to be real. And some people don't stay... but they never truly leave. #1 IN LONELINESS ON 23-01-26 ************************************************

    Madeline Rochester's life runs on routine. She carpools to school with her best friend Rodney, spends her days surrounded by familiar faces, and shares a house with her twin sister who knows her too well. Everything feels steady, uncomplicated-exactly the way it's supposed to be. Rodney Hale fits into her life effortlessly. He's kind, dependable, and always there, even when Madeline doesn't realize she needs him. As their long-standing friendship begins to blur into something more, Madeline finds herself questioning whether comfort is the same as certainty. Across the street lives Blake Carter-a boy she used to know when they were younger. They don't talk anymore. They barely interact at all. He's part of her past in a way she's learned not to think about, overshadowed by rumors and distance that make it easier to keep him at arm's length. But as senior year unfolds, small moments start to disrupt the balance Madeline relies on. A careless comment. A childhood memory resurfacing at the wrong time. Tension between the people she trusts most. What once felt clear begins to fracture, forcing Madeline to confront feelings she's never fully examined. A modern coming-of-age romance about growing up, misreading your own heart, and the quiet consequences of avoidance, this story explores how love isn't always about who feels the strongest-but who you choose to truly see.

    In a quiet coastal city, glowing Saltstars sometimes wash ashore and offer people a single impossible choice: rewrite the moment that broke them. Mina Kairo takes a cracked one to bring her mother back, but the victory leaves seams in reality, shifting streets, flickering landmarks, and memories that don't match. As the city begins "correcting" itself by erasing what it can't balance, Mina is forced into a fierce clash with Aya, a brilliant girl willing to control the truth to stop more people from vanishing, and Ren, a musician whose ocean-song can wake buried grief. When the tide returns a girl who was never meant to exist between worlds, Mina must face the cost of borrowed happiness and choose between a perfect life and an honest one. SALTSTAR SUMMER is an anime-inspired, emotionally gripping story about grief, love, and the courage to stop bargaining with the past.

    She has no magic in a world that worships it. He has power and chooses restraint. And somehow, they always meet when something is about to go wrong. Detailed Description: In a realm where magic defines worth, Valerie Elower has none - no power, no protection, and no place in a world ruled by those who command the elements. Invisible does not mean weak. When she breaks rules she was never meant to survive, Valerie is pulled into a web of secrets, betrayals, and choices that demand more than magic ever could. He is powerful. Controlled. Watching from the shadows. A man bound by loyalty, restraint, and a darkness he refuses to unleash. Not her savior; but never far when the world turns cruel. As loyalties fracture and danger starts wearing familiar faces, Valerie is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: that she was never powerless - only unfinished. She was never meant to matter. But she may be the one thing this world cannot afford to lose.

If I were a devil, then I would make sure to drag you into the same hell with me, Grace," William said, grinning in triumph. "And as repayment to the Johanson family, I want you to become my kept woman. Forever."
