    Everything changed the night they took her. Ripped from her mundane life, Madison is thrust into the violent world of trafficking, where her only choices are adapt or die. Jase, one of her captors, is as cruel and relentless as the men who pay him. Cold, calculating, and fiercely loyal to the underworld he serves, he likes to be in control. But Madison was never going to be anyone's average victim. Beautifully cunning, she ignites something lethal within Jase. As the lines between predator and prey blur, Madison is drawn deeper into Jase's dark orbit, as he finds himself captivated in ways he can't afford to admit. In a world where trust is a death sentence and love is a punchline, there are no heroes, only the willing and the unwilling and Madison needs to decide just how willing she is before her time runs out. *

    She walked toward him slowly. He watched every step. "Don't," he said quietly. "Why?" she tilted her head. "I don't like unnecessary touching." "Oh," I whispered. "Then close your eyes." Before he could react, she pressed red color on his cheek. Slow. Lingering touch. "You're marked," she said softly. ~~~ His eyes darkened. He took blue color in his hand. Her breath paused. He stepped forward and placed it on my neck. Slid lower than needed. Right above her heart. "Equal," he said calmly. ~~~ Read for more...

    They thought she was lost. They were wrong. At twelve, Arielle survives on instinct, silence, and strength sharpened by pain. When violence finally puts her in the system's spotlight, the family that buried her is forced to face the truth-she was never weak, never broken, and never waiting to be rescued. This is not a story about saving a girl. It's about a girl who survived-and a family that must learn how to deserve her.

    Everyone at East River Academy watches Maddison Kelly -- Olympic hopeful, decathlete, the girl most likely to set a record or burn the place down. Most likely both. She's barely holding it together in public -- until she's on the field. Then, she becomes The Fury. Finn Anderson, a golden baseball prodigy put his new crown on her shoulders and never asked for it back. She kept it closer than she'll ever admit. Dr Matthew Lordes, a 25 year-old Olympic legend, took her under his wing at thirteen. No one gets why -- but when they're alone, the rest of the world is furniture. A boy who makes her believe she could be safe. A man who makes her believe she could be free. One elite high school that sees nothing but the mask. And a girl who'd rather break her body on a track than let anyone close enough to find out which version is real. They call her Madness. She didn't choose that name. He gave it to her. Like it was his. Never been able to put it down since. -- Finn: "I should have been smooth. Some line, some gesture. Instead I stood there and my hands were shaking and all I could think was close the gap, just close the gap and I couldn't move because what if I was wrong and what if I wasn't and both of those options were equally terrifying. I'm ruined. Fifteen years later, and I'm still ruined." Maddie: "I've been taught rules. Never broke them once. I don't let them see me want. I don't let them see me shudder. No one gets in unless I say so. And I certainly don't bury my face in some boy's jacket and breathe in. I don't replay his chest rising under my hands on a loop. 24 hours. I broke every single one." Matthew: "Her talent is a force I can't ignore. Her age is a boundary I can't cross. I have spent twelve years being the most disciplined man in every room. I built that. I earned it. Then, the most extraordinary thing I have ever seen appears and I forget what discipline was for. Every time she performs, something I built cracks. God help me."

    Ashes of Ice (Book One of the Emberfall Saga) Harry Potter has always fought on instinct. React. Survive. Protect. It has been enough. Until now. As the Ministry tightens its grip on Hogwarts and whispers of Voldemort's return spread like wildfire, Harry realizes something unsettling: raw power isn't the same as control. His magic surges when he's desperate, explodes when he's angry, but fractures when he needs precision. And someone has noticed. Daphne Greengrass, Slytherin ice queen and daughter of a powerful pure blood family, has spent years studying the currents beneath wizarding society. She sees what others don't. Harry isn't just strong. He's unrefined. Unbalanced. Untapped. Their partnership begins as strategy. Information traded for information. Skill for skill. It becomes rivalry. Late night arguments. Dangerous training sessions. Shared secrets neither of them can afford. The more Harry learns to shape magic instead of merely casting it, the more he begins to change. His shields grow unbreakable. His spells bend before they're spoken. The air around him hums with something older than textbooks. But war does not wait for emotional clarity. When Daphne is forced into a choice between family loyalty and the boy who is becoming something extraordinary, one betrayal will shatter everything they've built. Harry will walk away. And when he returns to the battlefield, he will not be the same boy who left. Slow burn enemies to lovers. Political intrigue. Ancient magic. Rising power. Devastating betrayal. The war is coming. And this time, Harry Potter won't just survive it. He will redefine it. ------------------- Disclaimer -- I do not own Harry Potter or any related characters or settings. All rights belong to J.K.

    They say that paper is more patient than people. ​It doesn't flinch when you pour your darkest truths onto it. It doesn't judge the way your handwriting shakes when you write a name you aren't supposed to love. It just sits there-white, silent, and willing to carry the weight of a heart that is too heavy to beat on its own. ​For Jimin, these letters were his sanctuary. A place where a poor boy could be a prince, and where his silent devotion didn't feel like a crime. He thought that by locking his heart in a drawer, he was keeping it safe. ​He didn't realize that a secret is only a sanctuary until someone else finds the key. ​Now, the ink is bleeding. The words that used to be his comfort have become his cage. Because in a world of silver spoons and cold hearts, love isn't a gift-it's a debt. And some debts are paid in bruises, in silence, and in the slow, agonizing surrender of a soul that no longer belongs to itself. ​Not all love leaves warmth... sometimes, it only leaves a mark." 💔Trigger warnings: Emotional manipulation, mental health struggles, trauma, and morally grey characters. Read with your own risk. ✨ Slow-burn. Dark romance and one boy trying to find his worth between the hugs and the kisses. A jikook ff ⚠️ this story line is full of toxicity and explicit things so if you are sensitive to this kind of stuff then avoid.

    Anna lives a deliberately colourless life-one spent in the background, where asking for anything comes with a price she learned to stop paying long ago. At school, on the bus, at home, her world has been built on silence, routine, and the certain safety of going unnoticed. It's a balance she maintains meticulously, because being seen has never ended well for her. Then, one day, that balance fractures after a brief moment of accidental acknowledgement-small, meaningless, fleeting, and completely impossible to undo. Now, Anna is forced to confront the quiet life she's built. She begins to question whether survival is the same as living... and what it might cost to want more. She finds herself wondering whether the price is too low-or far too high. Because once you're noticed by someone, the world doesn't always let you disappear again.

    The flickering overhead light catches the jagged scar running down their cheek as they crouch in the alley's shadow. A tremor runs through their fingers-not from fear, but from the withdrawal creeping in. It's been 36 hours since their last dose of suppressants. They clutch their katakana, knuckles whitening. The mission parameters echo in their skull like a mantra: "Eliminate all witnesses." But the child hiding behind those dumpsters... that wasn't part of the briefing. The child tumbles from their hiding place behind the dumpsters, staring up at them with wide-eyed innocence. For a moment, humanity flashes behind the conditioning. They hiss, "Run. Don't look back." A mechanical whirr pulses at their throat-the shock collar booting up, detecting hesitation. "Compliance required," it drones softly. Their teeth grind until molars sharpen involuntarily-an Oni trait flaring under stress. They watch the child race away, the adrenaline rush starting to give way to the dizzying aftershocks from the shock collar's activation. Their vision swims as the collar buzzes like a swarm of angry hornets at their throat. Protocol #12 breached. They let out a scream, fall, then silence as they pass out.
