    "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

She has built a life no one can shake. Until Siddharth walks into it. As old memories begin to blur with new realities, Siddharth finds himself drawn not only to the woman he once knew, but also to the child who somehow feels strangely familiar.

They wait.

    Some houses have walls. Some houses have wounds. Li Longshen grew up protecting his three younger brothers from a father who thought love meant control, and a house that never felt home. He took every blow, every silence, every tear-for them. But what happens when four broken boys step outside the house that hurt them? Longshen, Yichen, Yuanzhi, and Jiling each carry their scars into the world-quiet, trembling, still hoping. And slowly, they begin to find something different: Friendship. Kindness. Love. their partner are the ones who will teach them: Some homes are not built from bricks. Some are found in the arms of those who stay. This is a story of trauma and tenderness, of brotherhood and burden, and of slow-burn love that doesn't fix, but heals.

    She comes home believing it's the same night she left-bruised, shaken, asking about butter and planning a shower-only to find a house that feels older, quieter, wrong. Her family looks at her like she might vanish if they breathe too hard. Slowly, unbearably, the truth emerges: she has been dead for five years. No one knows how she returned. There is no miracle to explain, no science to cling to-only the wreckage of a life mourned, a family reshaped by loss, and a town that learned how to move on without her. As she tries to understand a world that grieved her and closed the door, her return begins to disturb something deeper beneath the surface-an unseen thread connecting past and present, memory and meaning, drawing in forces that have been watching far longer than anyone realises. The Night Skye Came Home is a quiet, devastating mystery about love that never lets go, grief that changes shape, and what happens when the dead refuse to stay where the world put them. This story was developed with the assistance of AI as a creative tool for refinement and support. The narrative, themes, and characters remain my own.

    Yesterday I was her, today, I am him. I woke up in someone else's story. Someone else's body. Someone else's life. Someone else's unfinished love story. Now trapped inside Avarine and Kar's world, I don't remember anything about my real life.I have only one way home: make sure she and Kar end up together. It should be simple. After all, they were meant for each other. But destiny is rarely that easy. I can't know if the two loved each other so I keep on failing and failing, repeating the same year over and over again and switching between Avarine and Kar's bodies. Things get complicated when I notice that Avarine (not me) might have had a crush on Avery not Kar, who she has to be with- Where the Rainbow Ends is a coming-of-age story about love, identity, and the strange burden of holding someone else's future in your hands. Because sometimes finding your way home means getting lost in another person's heart first.

    HELLO HUMANSS YES U. Welcome to this collection of one-shots where emotional stability was never part of the agreement and communication skills were clearly left in another universe. Here, people fall in love like it's instinct, ruin everything like it's a talent, and then act surprised when consequences show up. Feelings are loud, decisions are questionable, and everyone is one misunderstood sentence away from either a breakdown, a glow-up, or both at the same time. Nobody talks properly here, they just stare dramatically into space and hope telepathy exists. You will find characters who say "I'm fine" while actively being anything but fine, people who leave conversations unfinished like it's a personality trait, and situations that could be solved in five minutes if anyone had the courage to use their words. But no, we prefer silence, tension, and emotionally charged eye contact instead. This is your warning: there will be unread messages that ruin lives, almost confessions that live rent-free forever, and timing so bad it should be studied as a scientific phenomenon. Some stories will feel like laughing at chaos, others will feel like staring at your ceiling at 2AM questioning every life choice you've ever made. And yes, love exists here-but it is complicated, poorly timed, slightly delusional, and often accompanied by "why are we like this" energy. Think dark aesthetic, messy hearts, cinematic suffering, and characters who would absolutely benefit from therapy but choose suffering with style instead. So if you're still here, congrats. You've officially entered a place where everything is dramatic, nothing is simple, and everyone is emotionally suspicious. Proceed with caution, and maybe a little emotional support.

Because the gentlest hands can also hold the tightest chains, and the safest place can become the hardest one to leave.

    Miya Atsumu lost everything the night Sakusa Kiyoomi drove away - and lost more still in the storm that followed. He wakes up nameless in a mountain village, rebuilt slowly by strangers who ask nothing in return, forced to learn who he is without the two things that once defined him: volleyball, and the man he loved. What follows is a year of hiding, a year of letters, and a long, uneven road back to the people who never stopped waiting. Kintsugi is the art of mending what's broken with gold instead of hiding the cracks - and this is the story of a man learning to do exactly that, one honest letter at a time, until he's ready to go home.

    Chris went to sleep alone. So the smell of breakfast, the second toothbrush, and the woman in his closet calling him babe shouldn't exist - and neither should the wedding ring on his hand. One drunken fall outside a bar, and Chris wakes up in a world that runs one inch to the left of his own: same city, same friends, different lives - and a wife named Haneul he has no memory of marrying, whose memories keep surfacing in him anyway, smooth and sure, like they were always there. He just wants to go home. But the longer he stays, the more this life starts to feel like his - and the harder it gets to remember which version of himself is the real one. An impossible distance away, the people who love him are reaching back through the only crack left in the wall. The catch: every door that opens to let him out lets this world reach further in. To get home, someone has to let go. The only questions left are who - and what it costs. A Stray Kids dimension-swap romance. Two worlds, two women with the same impossible eyes, and a love the universe keeps trying to honor in more than one place at once. Complete. 🖤

    Peter runs a bookshop where the days repeat and the solitude never asks anything of him. He opens early. He sorts shelves. He goes home alone. He likes it fine. Then Sara walks back in after years away, her five-year-old daughter Mia trailing behind her with a stuffed fox and too many questions. They knew each other once. Teenagers circling the same store without ever quite colliding. Now she's tired, fierce, and carrying more than she'll admit. Mia claims a reading rug. Sara starts staying longer. And Peter realizes the emptiness he'd grown used to was never comfortable at all. But Sara fought hard to stand on her own. And the closer Peter gets, the more she fears losing the ground she built beneath her feet. Until Tomorrow Comes is a quiet, character-driven story about love that arrives gently and leaves a mark. About the difference between being alone and being lonely. About what it costs to let someone in and what it costs not to.

    Lin Akane is a third-year high school student at prestigious Sakurazawa Academy who once aspired to become a photographer, but is forced to abandon that dream due to financial struggles and her younger brother Keigo's medical bills. Her life shifts when she becomes entangled with Sakurazawa Reina, the school's elite "Queen Bee" and volleyball captain who has long stood as both a rival presence and an unwelcome constant in her life. What begins as a professional arrangement in school sports photography steadily forces the two into closer proximity, blurring the boundaries between duty, rivalry, and something neither of them can define. As resentment and familiarity collide, their "null hypothesis" of mutual hatred begins to face repeated tests, until neither of them can tell whether it still holds true, or if it was ever real at all.
