[ROUGH DRAFT] Wren has always chased treasure, not gods or glory, just enough gold to keep the past buried. When an amnesiac god crosses his path, everything changes. Wren finds himself caught in a dangerous bond he neither trusts nor understands. Shadows of grief, memory, and prophecy follow their every step, and in the brewing war between islanders and mainlanders, Wren begins to question whether the greatest threat is not the gods above, but the humans who walk beside him. An epic of longing, power, and the weight of inheritance, Great Spirits is a queer fantasy that asks what we owe the past and what we might become if we dare to remember it. _______________________________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!

He doesn't like people. She loves everyone. Yet somehow... she becomes the only person he can't stay away from "You know you're dangerous, right?" Zaria blinked confused. "Dangerous?" "Yeah," Ramon said quietly. "People like me start needing people like you." Zaria looked at him wide-eyed Zaria Elise Wynters, an average college student who used to be sunshine - the lively, bubbly girl whose laughter could brighten even the dullest days. Until one fallout with the person she trusted most shattered everything she believed about friendship, loyalty, and herself. Now the girl who once lit up every room is only a quiet shadow, trying to gather the scattered pieces of her heart while pretending she's still the same Zaria everyone remembers. But Ramon never understood her. Cold, antisocial, and easily irritated by people, he had watched her from afar for months, skeptical of how anyone could be that happy all the time. To him, her bright smiles and endless kindness felt like nothing more than a performance - a desperate attempt to please everyone around her. Until he notices she changed. The laughter faded, the light in her eyes dimmed. And somehow, Ramon found himself noticing the difference more than anyone else. So when Zaria unexpectedly starts talking to him - laughing with him, sharing small pieces of her world - Ramon discovers something he's never felt before. For the first time in his life, someone's presence quiets the chaos inside him. He doesn't have a name for what he feels yet. But he knows one thing for certain. He's slowly becoming addicted to the girl who doesn't even realize she's healing him. #collegeromance #slowburn #healing #softromance #grumpy×sunshine

​"They say the sky is limitless, but for us, it was the very thing that kept us apart." ​In the humid, salt-stained halls of a small school in Krabi, Phuwin is the undisputed heartbeat. To the world, he is the ultimate extrovert-the guy whose laughter fills the corridors and whose future is as polished as the pilot's uniform his family has already picked out for him. But behind the bright smiles and the "Main Ten" social circle, Phuwin is drowning under the weight of an anchor: a family legacy that demands perfection and forbids his truth. ​Ray is the only one who sees the cracks in the mask. ​Positioned in the shadows of the back row, Ray is the village "bad boy"-an ambivert with a lethal stare and a reputation for violence. To the world, he is cold and unreachable. But behind the moodiness lies a heart softened by a house full of siblings and a secret devotion that has burned for four years. He doesn't want Phuwin's mask; he wants the boy shivering underneath it. ​What starts as a classroom joke-a "dream" of a romance-spirals into a toxic, beautiful, and devastating reality. From blood-stained desks and secret kisses under rotting piers to the chemical haze of betrayal and the sharp sting of a razor's edge, their love is a storm that threatens to destroy everything in its path. ​Vows in the Vapor is a story of three jagged marks on a wrist, the scent of jasmine perfume that tastes like a lie, and the quiet, citrus-scented healing of a man named Pond who finally teaches a broken boy how to fly.

She

Bailee Han never planned to be seen. A quiet, brilliant writer working behind the curtains of Altair Entertainment, she built her life around order, stability, and protecting idols from the shadows. Her world was simple: write, manage chaos, take care of everyone - and never be the center of attention. Then came Eclipse, the five-member whirlwind of lovable disasters who accidentally became her brothers. And then came Jay - Park Jongseong - the ex-soldier, rising solo artist, and walking heart attack who crashed right into Bailee's life... literally. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into friendship, then into something warm, terrifying, and beautiful - the kind of love Bailee never thought she'd deserve. But with fame comes danger. Hidden enemies rise. Secrets burn. And Bailee, the girl who always saved everyone else, must now fight her way back to the people who refused to give up on her - especially Jay, who would trade the world to keep her safe.

Quinnzel Miller is a seventeen-year-old, soft-spoken, and tired of starting over. After being bullied out of his old school, he's just trying to keep his head down.

A boy with an easy smile, a boy who seems to notice that things Quinn tries to hide. In a year marked by sleepless nights, heavy silences, and unexpected kindness, Quinn finds himself caught between fear and something that feels almost like hope. Maybe this friendship can heal what grief has left behind. Maybe it can become something more. ** The cover is NOT mine. <3

West Rickert is an asshole. He's a crackhead, and he's a drunk. At least, that's what everyone says about him.

Asa never planned on falling in love with someone like Amir Malik Sani. Composed, calculating, and far too certain for someone who made her question everything she thought she knew about love, faith, and herself. What started as quiet understanding slowly turned into something neither of them could walk away from. But love, as they both learn, isn't just tenderness and timing, it's choices, patience, and a war between what feels right and what is right. Between faith, family, and the fragile space where their worlds collide, Asa and Amir must learn what it really means to love without losing themselves and to trust that some stories aren't written by accident and everything happens for a reason that sometimes is not known by us. When their worlds collide, it's anything but easy. Between cultural expectations, family pressure, and religious lines that can't be crossed lightly, they're either each other's downfall-or their only shot at something real.
