    In a house where power speaks louder than love, they grow up learning to shrink themselves- their dreams , their voices , their worth constantly questioned. But fate sends people into their lives who hold mirrors instead of judgments, who carry storms of their own. And when their worlds collide, love becomes confusing, dangerous, healing, beautiful- all at once. Because some hearts don't meet to complete each other... they meet to rewrite each other.

    The following is a non-profit fan-based story. My Hero Academia and Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals are all owned by Kōhei Horikoshi, Hideyuki Furuhashi, Betten Court, Shueisha, Studio Bones, and Toho Animation. Also, all other possibly mentionned video games/anime universe are all owned by their respective creators. Please support the official release. ✧ After Kamino, nothing is the same for Naoto Shirogane. He lost his arm to Reiji Kirisaki, but later woke to find it replaced: a mysterious figure had given him a Zonai arm, a strange gift that raises more questions than answers. At the same time, buried truths about his family come to light. The Shirogane bloodline, supposetively noble was in fact rotted to the core, secretly closely tied to All For One, serving him in the shadows. After All Might's victory, Naoto's father, Retsu, abusive, violent, rotted to the core, was exposed and forced into hiding. Once Naoto was thought dead, but Retsu's downfall revealed the truth, he is alive, and now marked. At the hospital, two revelations change everything: his mother, Aashiko, returns after years away, and with her, a sister he never knew, Tsukiko, 3 years old. Innocent, untouched by Retsu's violence, she still believes her father was good. To her, Naoto is just the brother who broke her family apart. Living with them briefly, Naoto finds a fragile home. Aashiko accepts him; Tsukiko only tolerates him. But as Aizawa said, with villains aware of who he is, he has to leave, for their safety, heading to Heights Alliance, U.A.'s new dormitory system, where a new chapter begins. Before he even arrives, something unexpected happens: reaching out to stop an accident, his left hand opens a portal. A new ability, separate from Quickslot, has awakened. Where did this power come from? Why now? And what other trials wait ahead, as Naoto struggles with the dark legacy of his bloodline and the uncertain future of his own strength? ✧ Cover by me

    ⚔️ The Wayward Company "He came from an age of gunpowder and discipline... and found himself in a world of magic and monsters." The year was 1785 when Silas Ward was born - a Virginian by birth, a soldier by blood. The son of a frontier rifleman and a veteran of the Revolution, Ward grew up in the lingering smoke of musket fire and the echoes of liberty's war drums. His father's stories were full of powder, honor, and men who carved a nation from wilderness. Ward became one of them - a United States Marine, a captain forged in the chaos of the War of 1812 and the Barbary Wars that followed. He knew the sting of salt air, the ring of sabres, and the thundering recoil of a musket - his father's old Charleville, a relic from another war. He knew discipline, courage, and the silence that comes after battle. He thought he knew the world. Until one night, the world changed. A storm unlike any other swallowed his ship whole - and when he awoke, the sea was gone. In its place stood a land of twin moons and crimson dawns, where men walked beside elves and devils bore human faces. A place where steel and sorcery shared the same battlefield. To its people, he was an enigma: a foreigner in a tattered blue coat, wielding a thunderous weapon no forge could craft and speaking of wars no bard had sung of. To himself, he was something worse - a ghost adrift in a world that was not his own. But fate has a strange sense of humor. In this new realm, Silas Ward would cross paths with others who carried their own scars: a half-elf devoted to divine justice, a young fighter chasing her worth, a brooding warlock haunted by the cost of power, and a tiefling bard whose charm hides a wounded heart. Together, they will become known as The Wayward Company - not by choice, but by destiny. Their story is one of exile and rediscovery, of loyalty born in the fires of difference. For while some heroes are made by gods, and others by magic... Silas Ward was made by war.

    AND THE RISE OF THE ETERNAL PALADIN Ulfgar, paladin, dwarf. Ulfgar has been a background character in a number of my stories, and this, the longest of my works, is his tale. He is the most important character in the world of the Four Realms, he is the author's alter ego, and is the perfect guide to explain everything that's likely confused you so far. Continue to the first part to read the rest of the introduction. Content: Ulfgar swears a lot, he is a bit on the thick side to begin with although that does improve over the years, he has no compunction whatsoever in killing evil folk, he's rather prudish about sex and although he is gay, (or to use the language of the Four Realms, Masculine Attracted) he is, at least to begin with, embarrassed about his preferences of attraction and flatly refuses to turn his journal into "A sordid page turner", to use his own words. The story does include violence and Ulfgar dealing with some pretty gruesome people. I do not think I've been overly graphic about anything, so I'm not marking this story as mature, but if anyone thinks otherwise please tell me. Note that the cover image does not belong to me.

    A collection of short stories alternating between points of view of different students in a class, finding them as they transition from the last year of middle school and develop as people. New chapters may come out every week, or every month. - at least that's what I'll attempt to find time for. Good for some escapism, and for those who enjoy ensemble stories and character-driven plots! It's not heavy on storyline or twists, but there's enough to keep it moving.

    Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.

    Rory and Daryl's relationship is built on tension and grudging respect. From the start, they clash-Rory's idealism as a doctor, her need to help and heal, constantly rubs against Daryl's hardened, survivalist attitude. He doesn't trust easily, especially not someone like her, who still believes in making the world a better place despite everything falling apart. "I don't need your help, Doc," Daryl growls after a particularly tense moment where Rory tries to tend to his wounds. But beneath their antagonism, there's something deeper. Despite his gruff exterior, Daryl can't deny that Rory has a stubborn, unwavering strength. She's the only one who still tries to save lives, and though he resists, he respects her for it. "You're gonna get yourself killed trying to fix everyone," Daryl says, his tone rough but tinged with concern, even if he won't admit it. "I'm not trying to fix everyone.Just... one person at a time," Rory replies, and for a brief moment, Daryl doesn't know how to respond. Their interactions are filled with a mix of sharp words and quiet moments of understanding. Rory doesn't know whether to admire Daryl's ability to survive or to wish he would open up. And Daryl? He can't decide if he's annoyed by her optimism or secretly grateful for it. Though they argue constantly, there's no denying the bond forming between them-built on mutual survival and an unspoken need for each other in a world that has stripped them of everything else. "Maybe one day you'll stop pushing me away," Rory says quietly, after another fight. Daryl just stares into the fire, silent for a long time before muttering, "Not today." And so, they continue-two people who hate and need each other in equal measure, caught somewhere between survival and something more.
