Gifted Stories

"She had spent seventeen years learning to disappear. The fire had other plans." Seraphine Voss has one rule: stay invisible. In a world where Gifted bloodlines are hunted by the Crown's Inquisitors, being ordinary is the only armor she has. She keeps her head down, her voice quiet, and her hands - always dangerously warm - tucked inside her sleeves. Then the village burns. And she's the only one left standing in the ashes, completely unscathed. Now a ruthless faction called The Ashen Order wants her for the power she carries - older than the kingdom, thought to be extinct. And the only one willing to help her is Caelum Draev: cold, secretive, and hiding more than she bargained for. Her goal is survival. Her conflict is a power she cannot control. Her motivation is every face she couldn't save. And if she fails - the lives of every Gifted soul in the kingdom burns with her. Ash & Ember - because some girls aren't born from fire. They become it.

While everyone enters the academy to experience the reality of gifts and enhance their potential, Astrielle enters to investigate the reality behind the loss of her loved one despite not knowing what her power is. Yet as she digs down for justice, she accidentally lets her guard down, the wall that keeps her life hidden shattered, the truth behind her reality, behind her life... the light hiding behind her shadow was revealed. If she accidentally gets to this point of knowing who she really is instead of knowing what's the crime behind her sister's death, are you in? See it for yourself then. ๑❥☬✿ IDEA: August 27, 2024 April 26, 2026 -

A series of short requests and one shots about the two shows that didn't deserve to be canceled. And shouldn't be forgotten

You know those moments that happen when you've finished reading a book that's poignant, or a movie that captures something so strikingly? Those absolutely silent moments where your entire body has chills, but you're not really cold, and every step you take, every move you make, is hauntingly unreal. Those moments where you hear something, but everything is still piercingly silent. You turn your head, and in that moment, you can't remember how. For once, your mind is organized, and your thoughts are separated from one another as if they're lining up in compartmentalized boxes coated in silky ice. You move, and it feels like you're walking on something, but aren't making contact with the floor. And then after. The aftermath where the ice melts and you're hyper-aware all of a sudden. Your stomach cramps up, and your head is brimming again, filled with chain-links of thoughts swirling, swirling, swirling. Do you know those moments? I'll answer for you. No. No, of course not. But I do. My mind is screwed up; the epitome of chaos. I used to have a normal mind. I used to be innocent. I used to be an ingènue. And then, all of a sudden, I wasn't. [not a sci-fi/fantasy novel]

She barely has time to grieve for her father, when a George Clooney look alike knocks on their door and offers her a scholarship to a school that she's never heard of, in a town she thought only existed in fictional stories. She'd be annoyed by her blushing mother, but before she knows it she is shipped off to the new school in Ravenwood where professors teach criminology and circus, and your classmates all have extreme talents. If she had any time, she would admit that she actually likes the new school, but she doesn't. She is too busy trying to figure out why all-star mystery boy, Tyron Pillay is avoiding her, greasy mafia look-alikes are chasing her, and how in the hell she ever got this scholarship?
