Hailey Stewart has been down bad for Jensen Davis since freshman year. All she's dreamed about is having him as more than a friend, though she barely even manages to graze the 'friend' status. Now a senior, she has so much to accomplish. She creates a bucket list of things to do before the year is over, including getting into her dream school, Parsons School of Design, and professing her undying love to Jensen. Only when she takes the coward's way out and writes a letter to confess, she accidentally slips it into her annoying neighbor/ex-best friend's locker instead. Now the entire school thinks they're dating. To keep up appearances, Hailey and Aiden develop a fake relationship in hopes to present Hailey as outgoing and spontaneous and Aiden as a reliable partner, not just a player. Their ulterior motives are set and they work together to get what they want. But in the process, an old friendship blossoms between the two as well as something else. But if Hailey never settles down for where she is now instead of forcing a future, she may never see what- or who's been right in front of her the entire time.

In a world where extraordinary "powers" are as common as the morning sun, Aurelius Academy stands as a sanctuary for the gifted, the strange, and the misunderstood. For most, it's a place to master thermal cooking, hard-light gaming, or spectral photography. For Lyn, it's a total mystery. As the only cisgender boy in a sea of powerful girls and trans-masculine students, Lyn is the ultimate anomaly-not because of what he can do, but because he seems to be the only one without a gift. While his friends deal with "lag-induced" tantrums, sibling rivalries, and the weight of ancient expectations, Lyn plays the role of the quiet observer, the shoulder to cry on, and the accidental heartthrob of the school. In this "friendly" Nevermore, there are no villains to fight-only the beautiful, messy, and magical chaos of growing up. 📍 The Plot The story follows Lyn's daily life as he navigates the complex social hierarchies of the Academy. From "angry baking" sessions with Alex in the kitchen to secret campfires with Clint in the woods, Lyn finds himself entangled in the lives (and hearts) of twelve unique individuals. The central mystery isn't "who is the enemy," but rather "what is Lyn's true purpose?" As he helps his friends overcome their personal insecurities and traumas, a dormant power begins to stir-one that doesn't just belong to him, but to all of them.

[This is the translated version of my original Indonesian story. To support me or read the Bahasa Indonesia version, visit my profile] In an alternate version of the 2000s, where technology surges forward and magic-once revered-is hunted to the edge of extinction, lives a young man named Hans. By day, he is a quiet bartender, blending drinks for patrons who never suspect the truth: buried deep within him lies a power passed down from his mother, a healer and sorceress, and his father, a drunken gambler entangled in the shadows of the criminal underworld. For years, Hans has lived in silence-choosing solitude not for peace, but to shield himself from the scars of his past and the shame that clings to him like a second skin. He hides his power, not out of cowardice, but out of pain. That is, until a stranger walks into his bar. A dark-skinned man from the southern isles, the stranger calls himself Kaelani-or Kaelan. But he is no ordinary guest. He carries with him a sorrow deeper than grief, the remnants of a lost homeland-Maluʻia-an archipelago laid to ruin by the very technology that now rules the world. Like Hans, Kaelan is a mage, a guardian of protective magic betrayed by the one he loved. That betrayal cost him his people, his purpose, and nearly his soul. Their meeting is no coincidence. Two fractured souls, exiled from the destinies they were meant to fulfill, begin to find flickers of hope in each other's quiet company. But beyond the whispered conversations and the soft hum of city nights, the world stirs once more. Magic is awakening-and Hans may be the key that time itself has tried to forget.
