Libraries Stories

Given that Zanli had given up writing the story due to burnout, I figured that I would pick up where he left off. Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Hitotsubashi Group. Limbus Company and its prequels are owned by Project Moon. Second Disclaimer: The chapters prior to Zanli's announcement of discontinuing the original story will be carried over to this one, the exceptions being said announcement and the subsequent request for someone to continue it. I will also be polishing the chapters and dealing with any grammar errors that are in the original script.

Some love stories begin with grand confessions. This one began with silence. Every evening in a quiet library, Aisha notices the same boy sitting near the window. They never speak. They never introduce themselves. Yet somehow, their eyes keep meeting in the quietest moments. Days turn into weeks, and those silent glances slowly turn into something deeper - something neither of them fully understands. But sometimes silence can protect a feeling... and sometimes it can hide it for too long. The Silence Between Us is a soft, slow-burn love story about quiet connections, unspoken emotions, and the courage it takes to finally say what the heart has been feeling all along.

However, when she arrives and meets the infamous Lily Everett, she quickly realises that she will be learning more about herself, and the world, than just literature. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Why are you so mean to me, Lily?" I ask her, as she moves in closer to me. "'Cause you're lying to yourself, Cooper, if you think we can be friends," Lily stated, her voice just a mere whisper. I just met her grey eyes and sighed. This was becoming one of the most confusing feelings I had ever felt.

In a world where the government has outlawed all books and banned storytelling - declaring imagination a threat to "order and unity" - stories are not just forgotten... they're being systematically erased from human memory. Seventeen-year-old Elara has inherited the role of Library Keeper, guarding the last underground repository of books hidden deep beneath the ruins of an old city. But these are no ordinary volumes: each book contains the living soul of its characters, who can only exist so long as their stories are read and remembered. When Elara speaks to them, they step from the pages into her world - companions in her lonely duty, and reminders of why stories matter. Everything changes when the ruthless Memory Cleansers - elite enforcers trained to hunt down and destroy all traces of narrative - discover the library's entrance. With her home and the lives of every character she protects at risk, Elara learns of the Book of Beginnings: a legendary manuscript said to hold the power to restore stories to the world and break the Cleansers' control over human thought. Joined by Kai, a charismatic sailor from a sea-faring tale, and a small band of characters from different books, Elara embarks on a perilous journey across a landscape stripped of wonder. Along the way, she must confront not only the Cleansers who chase her, but also difficult truths about sacrifice, responsibility, and whether the world is ready to embrace imagination again.

What if you woke up with no memory but just a name? What if that name belonged to a dead man who left you a voicemail from beyond the grave? What if a scar on your palm opened doors to a magic library where memories are currency and you have to trade pieces of yourself just to learn who you used to be? What if everyone wants something from you, some to save you, some to erase you, some because they loved you in a life you can't remember? And what if the only person with all the answers is dead? Waiting for you to find him. This is Kang Yeorim's story. And it starts with a dead man's voice in her ear, "I loved you more than the sky loved the dawn." --- [A huge thank you to the artist for this stunning Taehyung painting used as my cover art.

Fourteen-year-old Vezzuo Azmaismawe, heir to one of the last bloodlines of the Shweinn Empire, has been raised to embody perfection. Brilliant, disciplined, and politically groomed, he is admired by authority and isolated from his peers. Though he senses corruption beneath the government's promises of stability, he remains silent-too young, too watched, and too carefully shaped to speak. Everything changes when he befriends Josh, a delinquent boy who lives loudly in a country that punishes noise. Through Josh, Vezzuo discovers the human cost of Shweinn's lies: disappearances, executions, and propaganda masked as order. Together, they investigate the truth the state refuses to acknowledge-only to be captured, tortured, and erased. Under coercion, Josh confesses to crimes that shatter Vezzuo's trust, including the murder of his uncle. Betrayed and grieving, Vezzuo turns against his friend and is used by the government to reinforce its power. When Josh later faces execution, Vezzuo finally breaks his silence, exposing the state's hidden crimes and bringing down the regime. Though the country is saved and Vezzuo is named a national hero, the damage between the two boys lingers. Did they end the corruption... or merely teach it how to survive?
