Raina Wilson has three unbreakable rules: No more broken boys. No more fixing anyone. And definitely no falling for the sarcastic, dark hoodie-wearing best friend of her toxic ex. Mateo Diaz knows the rules better than anyone-he wrote his own version years ago: Never fall for your best friend's ex. Never believe you're worthy of someone like her. Never let yourself hope. They've spent years circling each other-bickering in hallways, stealing glances during group projects, pretending the tension is just old neighbour rivalry. She tells herself he's off-limits. He tells himself he's not good enough. But when a college project forces them together, every sarcastic jab, every accidental touch, every late-night coffee run starts chipping away at the walls they've both built so carefully. The closer they get, the more it hurts to stay away. Because some rules were made to be broken... and some hearts were made to shatter before they can finally heal. - COMPLETE -

Some love doesn't know when to let go. She thought love meant safety. He thought love meant possession. It started with small things - the way he stood too close, the way his hand lingered a second too long, the way he noticed every habit she didn't realize she had. He didn't cage her. He didn't control her. He just held on. Too tight. And the more she tried to pull away, the more intense he became - quieter, darker, more deliberate. Until one night, she realized something terrifying: He wasn't afraid of losing her. He was afraid of who she'd become without him. Now she has a choice - Stay where it's suffocating but familiar. Or cut the ties and see if he survives the fall. Because some love protects. And some love refuses to loosen its grip.

Greetings. You may be wondering why an immortal of questionable origin, impeccable capes, and historically poor decision-making would choose to publish a cookbook. The answer is simple. We must eat. Within these pages, you will find recipes-real ones, prepared by my own dramatic hands-alongside reflections on existence, comfort, and the small mercies that keep us upright when eternity feels especially long. Expect: Toast, prepared with appropriate gravitas Eggs, treated as fragile miracles Simple meals elevated through mood, patience, and sighing Occasional affirmations, offered reluctantly but sincerely This is not a book about perfection. It is a book about survival, warmth, and feeding yourself even when the world insists you should simply brood instead. You do not need to be immortal to cook these meals. You only need hunger, curiosity, and a willingness to let the butter melt properly. So come in. Set the table. Lower the lights. But first... We brood. - Crimson Bloodthorne

"You don't speak." I state. He looks at me and he nods. He slowly raises his hand before he wipes the tears streaming down my face. His touch heats my skin, making me suck in a breath.

Welcome, mortals, night-dwellers, and unsuspecting readers. I am Crimson Bloodthorne, scholar of shadows, veteran brooder, cape enthusiast, and-occasionally-writer. Within these sacred digital pages, I offer you the truth of my life... or at least the most dramatic version of it. These are my memoirs. Each chapter recounts a pivotal moment in my long and unnecessarily theatrical existence-tales of childhood melancholy, cape-related disasters, failed transformations, gothic revelations, and the many catastrophes that forged me into the icon I am today. Prepare yourselves for: emotional monologues tragic backstory fragments questionable decisions and the kind of brooding that would make even the moon say, "Bro, are you okay?" Step carefully, dear reader. For once you enter my world... you may never brood the same way again. - Crimson Bloodthorne Cape Aficionado | Shadow Scholar | Occasional Vampire

Caelia, the estate's fierce heir, is the only one who sees past the silence and the shadows. Their bond forms slowly over the years. But the world outside the woods is cruel, and alliances are heavier than love. When Vaeren is forced from the estate, old wounds turn into grudges. Years later, he returns. Richer, remade by anger and ambition, carrying the belief that he was left behind by the one person who mattered. A story of longing, resentment, and love tangled in silence and storm. **Author's Note** This short story was written for The Wuthering Heights Reimagined Contest. I don't live in the U.S., so I know I'm not eligible to win the prize, but honestly, I didn't write this for that. I wrote it because I love this kind of story and couldn't get it out of my head. Wuthering Heights has always stuck with me. This is my take on that feeling, just told in my own way. Maybe one day I develop this more, instead of being a short story withso many details being left out. Thanks for reading and letting me share this anyway.
