When fate collides with timing, nothing is ever simple. Imani is just trying to chase her dreams abroad - dance, culture, experience - not romance. Ji-Hoon is Korea's brightest star, admired from a distance and kept behind layers of control and image. Neither expected each other. But an accidental connection sparks something undeniable. What begins as a spark grows into something deeper - and far more complicated. They weren't supposed to fall. Not here. Not now. Not like this. Now, every touch must be hidden. Every glance controlled. With careers, secrets, and entire fan empires at stake, love isn't just complicated - it might be impossible. But sometimes, the heart doesn't ask for permission. It just happens... Unexpectedly.

Every generation leaves behind a wound and a whisper. But for them? It was desire unfulfilled. ~◇ ~ Suvarna Dutta She was a chaotic poetry- loud in laughter, quiet in pain. She loved too much and felt too deeply. Her world wasn't kind- parents who broke each other...and her, a home that echoed the shatter of broken plates and hatred more than love and laughter. But hoping was something she never compromised with. Neither was loving. Her tears carried stories, her smiles carried the warmth of a sunshine that shone the morning after a kalboishakhi storm. She was written in her own ink- messy, misplaced yet non-smudgable. She was unsavable- she knew that. She just wanted someone who wouldn't flinch at her truth. Aditya Aryan Chatterjee Taylor Aditya wasn't carved out of cold stones and still waters- He was a storm and a ray of sunlight at the same time. Warm and gentle in his gaze, fierce and relentless in his determination. His smile understood pain, his eyes didn't just look- they consoled, comforted and assured. His steps were kind and his strides- seldom confident. Torn between bloodlines and belonging, he was lost- often trying to fit into unstitched worlds. But in the end, his heart- it didn't belong to a country, it bled for one. ~◇~ They were the children of promises- promises that lingered amidst glances across the two terraces on lazy afternoons, of locked orbs in pandal crowds, in the folds of black and white sarees and Tussar silks. Promises might as well be forgotten, but memories? They stay. They haunt. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦.

The Vienna Face Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) examines the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) as the central doctrinal "face" of modern treaty law. The article argues that the VCLT not only codifies customary rules but also structures how international law conceptualizes consent, interpretation, and the stability of treaty obligations. It briefly traces the Convention's historical development, analyzes its core mechanisms of state consent and treaty interpretation, and evaluates its rules on invalidity, termination, and withdrawal. The piece highlights emerging tensions between the VCLT's sovereignty-based architecture and contemporary pressures from human rights, environmental regimes, and erga omnes obligations. It concludes that the VCLT remains foundational yet increasingly challenged by the evolving normative landscape of international law. A law review article written by Rebecca A. Clark.

Shepard's Watch Series: Book One A raging inferno at the Kremlin Armory, an Orthodox priest found murdered in his own church, and a series of mysterious bombings in Eastern Europe brings the American intelligence community to a sobering realization: someone is trying to start a war. As tensions in the region escalate, Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) assembles a task force and gives one its most decorated Special Forces officers, Maj. Jay Shepard, a simple mission: find the parties behind this madness and do whatever it takes to stop them. It all starts wrong, and as the CIA, the newly formed Defense Clandestine Service, and the FBI all activate assets in support, a host of foreign intelligence services and the ever-present rivalries inside the U.S. government services threaten to derail the mission before it ever leaves the station. As Shepard's handlers hoped he would, he takes his operation off grid, reaching out to a reclusive billionaire with some very dark family secrets and a private army that's been implicated in dozens of black market arms deals. The more the Task Force succeeds, the more awkward the revelations become for the federal agencies pulled into the public scandals and congressional hearings back home. Worse, Shepard's team uncovers disturbing evidence related to an intelligence leak threatening national security networks. When his Task Force is recalled in order to be disbanded, Shepard is forced to choose between his chain of command and the oath he took to protect his country. He's been a tactical savant most of his life, confounding and frustrating even the most brilliant war planners with his ability to defy the odds: now he's been sanctioned as an enemy of the state. Betrayed by the people he served and hunted by the men he trained, Shepard now has to decide exactly how far he'll go and who he'll cross in order to complete his mission.

Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful owners
