    Born beneath the same tide, Tsireya was cherished by the sea-while her twin sister Gianna was feared by it. Marked by her pale skin and white hair, Gianna grows up ignored and rejected by the Metkayina, seen as an omen rather than a child. When she befriends Lo'ak Sully, the two form a bond built on shared neglect and quiet understanding. But love becomes forbidden, jealousy fractures families, and superstition turns cruel. Exile, war, and sacrifice follow. Disclaimer I do not own Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, or any of the canon characters featured in this story.

    𝐉𝐉𝐊 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐎 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒀𝒖𝒋𝒊𝒙𝒇𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒆!𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓) Caution (Mild to heavy spoilers) In 2086, the world no longer fears the name of curses. But it hasn't forgotten him. After defeating Ryomen Sukuna and escaping the execution that once hung over his head,Yuji Itadori chose to keep fighting-living on as a Jujutsu sorcerer long after the battles were supposed to end. He was meant to grow old. He never did. For 64 years, Yuji has remained unchanged-cursed with a body that refuses to age, forced to watch everyone he loved disappear one by one. Time moved forward. He didn't. And somewhere along the way, the boy who saved people became a man who no longer lets anyone get close. Until she returns. Unsealed after decades lost to time, she awakens in a future she doesn't recognize-where curses have evolved, the past has faded into myth, and one familiar presence lingers just out of reach. Yuji knows she's alive. But he doesn't come to her, he remembers what it means to lose her. And he's not sure he can survive it again. But as new dangers rise and fate pulls her back into his orbit, distance begins to crumble-and so do the walls he spent decades building. Because some promises outlive time. And some love... endures even a curse that was never meant to be broken. _______ 𝑱𝒖𝒋𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒖 𝑲𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒏/𝑱𝒖𝒋𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒖 𝑲𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆.𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝑮𝒆𝒈𝒆 𝑨𝒌𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒀𝒖𝒋𝒊 𝑰𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒌𝒊.

    In his past life, he was an eighteen-year-old forced to drop out of school after his parents' sudden death, grinding through brutal jobs to support his two younger brothers. He buried his own dreams, endured a brother's cold betrayal, and helplessly watched his youngest sibling slip away into silent suffering. The only light was Shen Yi-a gentle, lonely financial analyst who loved him quietly from across a dim bar, leaving half his salary as a "friend's help" but never daring to confess. The window paper between them stayed intact, and he died filled with regret. Now, reborn at his parents' funeral with all his memories intact, he refuses to repeat the same tragedy. This time, he will stay in school and chase his dream of studying finance. He will use his knowledge of the future stock market to build a fortress of wealth. He will give his ungrateful second brother nothing beyond cold obligation, and fiercely protect the little brother with a gift for art. And most importantly, he will seek out Shen Yi-three years early-and pierce that window paper himself. No more silent sacrifices. No more believing he is unworthy of love. This time, the pursuit will be bold, breathtaking, and utterly impossible to ignore. THIS IS MY OWN NOVEL, SO PLEASE DON'T STEAL OR REPOST IT.

    He is her fated mate. She is everything he hates. Kara Fletcher is the Wolven Huntress - a hunter turned werewolf, now protecting the very species she was trained to destroy. Alpha Chris Ashford lost his father to hunters barely a year ago. The grief is still raw. The rage still burns. When the mate bond ignites between them at a supernatural summit, it should be destiny. Instead, it's a living nightmare. Chris doesn't reject her - not officially. His duty to his pack won't let him. So he accepts her as his mate while hating every second of it, every breath she takes, every reminder of what hunters stole from him. Kara feels it all through their bond. The disgust. The resentment. The wish that fate had chosen anyone else. But she accepts her role as his Luna anyway - because his pack deserves stability, because her wolf deserves a mate, because walking away would prove every wolf right who said a hunter could never belong. Two people bound by fate, trapped by duty, burning with emotions neither can escape. But when hunters return with a vengeance and blood demands blood, their fragile bond will be tested in ways neither could imagine. Some sacrifices can't be undone. Some choices can't be forgiven. Can fate survive hate - or will it cost them everything?

When her secret slips? When the villagers call her a monster? When fate tries to tear them apart? Will Shian still love her? How far will he go to protect her? _________________________ Tropes : *Alien wife x human husband * Gremlin Predator x Cute prey *Protective FL x gentle ML Update every sunday! ❤️ (Cover is made by @VeraChendra)

    "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

    Everyone has a first love. This isn't that story. This is the story of two strangers... connected by hope, separated by fate, and bound together by words that were never spoken. They never truly met. Yet somehow... they became each other's reason to keep living. If love doesn't need to be seen... how far can it go before it changes a life forever? Or, if you want something that feels even more like a movie trailer: Everyone remembers their first love. But not every love story begins with a first meeting. Two strangers. One impossible promise. A love that was never confessed... yet changed two lives forever. They never held hands. They never shared a goodbye. They never even truly met. So how did they become everything to each other?

    THOSE EYES Not every love story begins with a conversation. Some begin with a single glance. On the first day of college admission, Anaya notices a boy wearing a black face mask. She doesn't know his name. She doesn't know anything about him-except that they're in the same course. All she remembers... ...are his eyes. What starts as a passing moment slowly turns into silent admiration, stolen glances, and an unexpected one-sided love. From gathering the courage to confess her feelings to accepting rejection with a smile, Anaya learns that not every love story is meant to have a happy ending. Some people aren't meant to stay. They're simply meant to leave behind memories you'll carry forever. A soft, slow-burn, one-sided college romance filled with silent moments, unspoken feelings, and unforgettable memories. "Because sometimes... all it takes is a pair of eyes to change everything."

    They say some friendships are written in the stars - Ahn Keonho and Eom Seonghyeon were written in something older than that. Five years old when the world decided they belonged in each other's orbit. Two decades of shared lunches, matching laughs, and a bond that made strangers call them twins without ever knowing the truth. One swam through water to find peace. The other chased a ball across grass to feel alive. Different souls, same heartbeat. One month apart in age, a lifetime together in everything else. Keonho has always looked up to Seonghyeon - quietly, without ceremony, the way you look up at the sky. Whatever Seonghyeon loved, he found himself loving too. Same favorites, same instincts, same silences that needed no translation. It was never imitation. It was devotion dressed in the language of friendship. They have fought. Keonho wrote every rupture in his diary - ink pressed harder when the hurt was deeper - but they always found their way back. Because some things are too important to let pride swallow whole. Then Han Sena walked in. Not loudly. Not like a warning. She arrived the way beautiful disasters always do - softly, sketchbook in hand, charcoal smudged at her wrist, eyes that saw the world in shapes and shadows before she saw it in words. An art major who turned ordinary corners of campus into something worth staring at. Pretty wasn't the right word for her. Pretty was too small. She meets Keonho first. Falls first, the way you fall when you aren't looking - unexpectedly, completely, with no graceful landing in sight. But fate, it seems, has a longer plan. Because Sena's story doesn't end where it begins. And Seonghyeon - his best friend, his brother, the boy who shares his face in people's eyes but not his blood - will become something she didn't see coming either. One girl. Two boys who would never want to hurt each other. A love triangle that doesn't ask permission before it breaks things.

    🌊 Fourteen years spent swimming the times her mother never got to swim. A guitar nobody knows she has. A secret that isn't even the biggest one in the house. Sage Calloway swims every sunrise under her mother's eyes - a former athlete who gave up her own comeback to raise her, and who only knows how to say "I love you" through a stopwatch. What her mother doesn't know is that at night, headphones on, Sage writes songs. It's the one part of herself that never makes it into a notebook. Then an anonymous account starts threatening to expose everything - the hidden music, a dangerous friendship, a shoulder quietly falling apart - and Sage is faced with the same choice she's watched her mother make her whole life: keep everything locked away, or open up and risk losing control of the only life she knows. But the heaviest secret in that house was never hers. It's the one her mother has kept for sixteen years, in a box, in the attic. A story about first love, first goodbyes, inherited ambition, and how much the things we hide in the dark can weigh - for readers who grew up on Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, with a heart that beats just as hard for a mother as it does for a boy. 🌊 Updating regularly. Comments and votes always welcome - they keep me company while I write.

    In 2078, as the old world collapses, the survivors are the unnoticed. Joe Ingram is just a street musician. A man easily overlooked. A man who has already been erased. But when a chain of events draws him into a deadly game between the NUSA and the corporations, it becomes clear: his "invisibility" is not a weakness, but a weapon. And when circumstances force him to brave the digital hell, he has only one choice. Pay any price. Even if that price is himself. Author's Note: Each chapter is accompanied by tracks that complement the story.

    Aadhya Mehra doesn't break. She bends, she adjusts, she stays quiet- but she never breaks. To the world, she's smart, capable, and composed. To her family, she's loved. But inside? She's a girl who has always felt like she was standing just a step away from where she belonged. When she walks away from a future she never wanted and chooses her own path, she doesn't realize- she's also walking toward answers she never asked for. Because sometimes, the strongest people aren't the ones who fight the world- they're the ones trying to understand their own place in it. This is not just a story about family. Or choices. It's about a girl learning that strength isn't about being unbreakable- it's about understanding yourself, even when nothing around you makes sense.
