Life-or-death Stories

Joanna has just 23 days to avenge her mother's murder by reclaiming the chancellorship from her tyrannical uncle, the current ruler of Darand. --- After being presumed dead for 18 years - and training in secret for nearly as long - Joanna has just 23 days left to reclaim her rightful place as chancellor of Darand. It's a seat that once belonged to her mother, until she was framed for mass murder and executed by Joanna's uncle. With time running out, Joanna must journey across Darand's outer boroughs to its capital, facing danger at every turn, and prove her late mother's innocence ... or leave Darand to rot under her uncle's rule. It's a trip she'd planned to take alone, but when Chancellor Wolford catches wind his niece is not just alive but actively staging a coup, Joanna must turn to a shy (and handsome) metalsmith's apprentice for help. There's just one problem: The apprentice might've been the one to blow Joanna's cover. --- **Do NOT put this story on Goodreads, please. I appreciate it.**

Before the Dawn Breaks by K.M.T Fukiko Some nights feel endless. Some mornings arrive too late. Before the Dawn Breaks is a collection of poems written for those who have loved too deeply, grieved too quietly, and carried hope through the darkest hours. Each piece captures the emotions we often struggle to put into words-the ache of heartbreak, the comfort of memories, the weight of loneliness, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. From moments of despair to glimpses of healing, these poems remind us that even the longest night cannot stop the coming of dawn. They are an invitation to pause, reflect, and find pieces of yourself within every page. Whether you are searching for solace, closure, or simply a reminder that you are not alone, this collection offers a gentle light for every heart still waiting for the sun to rise. Because sometimes, the most beautiful stories begin before the dawn breaks.

"Then you don't know who you've tied," she shot back. "And that's your mistake." . . "You think this is about safety?" she demanded. "This is about possession." . . . She held his gaze, "And what feels out of place about me?" "Nothing," he said after a moment. "That's what makes it noticeable." For the first time, she smiled-small, controlled. "My name is Kirti." . . . "Since I'm clearly being discussed-I am Shri." . . "He told me to pack my bags," Shri said. "Said I was late." "I asked him why," Shri went on. "He said, 'Because if you don't leave now, you'll miss her.'"

They can make something bloom or make it disappear faster than it should. The princess was brought up among the beauty that everyone admired. Gentle, kind, seeing the world differently than others, having different values and too often hearing how unique she is. However, none of these words ever really described her. Until the night in which, hidden behind a mask, she met someone who had not asked about her face. Someone who instead of looking... starts to see her. In a world where delight can destroy what is most precious, a feeling is born that can be its salvation or the beginning of a destiny that cannot be stopped. ──────────── I am really happy to be back writing after few years on my old account.

• Shuntarò Chishiya x Fem Reader * "Alice in Borderland" SEASON 2 * No Smut, Only Angst I had nothing left to lose, but now I do. I can't lose you, not again, not ever." Kurokawa Riko has Dissociative Amnesia, which is memory loss caused by trauma or stress, resulting in the struggle of recalling personal information. She was diagnosed with this mental disorder when she was young after an unknown event that left her traumatized and forgetful. Riko remembers nothing but fragments of her youth, including the people involved, but with psychotherapy, she doesn't tend to forget crucial things in the present. But, that was before the world flipped upside down, where Riko woke up in the hospital completely alone. Days go by living in this Borderland, never leaving the state of shock as she participates in immortal games. But, without her doctor giving her psychotherapy, she forgets fragments of things that happen the day before. To keep herself sane and safe, she writes in a journal to keep track of who she is now rather than who she was before, a participant in the Borderlands. As days go by in the Borderlands, Riko forgets how much time passes by before the face cards were introduced. This new stage introduces her to Shuntarö Chishiya, a man who seems like a stranger to her, but in reality was the same doctor who gave her psychotherapy.
