When even their own existences are at risk, Aaron and Hope must defy both the living and the dead in order to survive a destiny designed to destroy them. Every living person carries blessings from their loved ones in Heaven, everyone but Hope. She is at the lowest point of her life when she meets Aaron, a ticking time bomb of a field agent from the Balcony of Heaven. The BOH is no ordinary organization. It harvests the love and remembrance of the living, turns that soul energy into blessings, and sends them back to the world of the living. Its employees aren't human. Neither is Aaron. Even here, he is seen as unstable - a soul that could have been, and might still become, a vengeful spirit. And Hope has no idea. Meeting Aaron may mark the end of her misfortune... or her life itself.

A book inspired by Huanting Adeline When Maren Blackwood inherits the centuries-old Briarhaven Manor, she expects a quiet escape-a chance to rebuild her life after years away from the town that never felt like home. The mansion is massive, ivy-strangled, and creaks under its own age, but Maren has always been drawn to its lonely beauty. Until she realizes she's not alone. Strange things begin to happen almost immediately: Lights flicker in rooms she hasn't entered. Footsteps echo through empty corridors. And objects she's certain she left one way shift into deliberate arrangements-like messages only she is meant to see. At first Maren blames the decaying house. Then she finds the letters. Short, unsettling notes appear in places only someone who knows the mansion intimately would dare to go. They're written by someone who claims to have watched Briarhaven for years-waiting for its true heir to return. Someone who promises he's "keeping her safe." Someone who knows the house better than she does. The town whispers about a trespasser seen roaming the woods, a man who slips between the trees like a shadow with a purpose. The police search. They never find him. But Maren feels him-his presence in the walls, in the dark hallways, in the way the silence holds its breath when she passes. As the stalker grows bolder, Maren's world tightens around the mansion she's trying to restore. She uncovers journals, hidden rooms, and hints of a past her family never spoke about-secrets the stalker seems desperate for her to understand. But Briarhaven Manor is full of locked doors. And the man watching her knows exactly what's behind them.

This poem was born from grief. I started writing it after my grandma passed last year -- and because I've always loved Edgar Allan Poe's darkness and Emily Dickinson's way of cutting straight to the soul, I spent over a year quietly studying both of them and writing this. For the longest time this piece stayed hidden in a notes app, something I wasn't sure I'd ever share. I posted it this morning only on Tumblr at first because it felt safe -- like the kind of corner where grief can sit beside you without needing to be polished or perfect. But I decided to put it on Wattpad too. Because grief isn't something only a few of us carry. It's something almost everyone brushes up against at some point, and it felt right to share it with both sides of my little world. If even one person finds comfort in it, then letting it breathe in both spaces was worth it. I hope this poem reaches anyone who's moving through loss -- or has carried it for a long time. If you read my story I'm Lost Without You on Wattpad, you know how deeply my grandmother shaped me. Losing her has been one of the hardest parts of my life... and in the last year, I've also lost both of my remaining grandparents. One by one, a year apart, until there were none left. With my grandfather's wake coming up this weekend, it feels right to finally share this. Maybe it finds someone who needs it. Maybe it reminds you that you're not alone in what you're feeling. If this sits with you -- even quietly, even painfully -- I hope it also offers a little warmth. Like a candle after the flame

"That's what I thought too. Honestly, I had no idea," - Tanya Livdottir's life has just been turned upside down by something as simple as a phone call. But, that phone call ended her search for her father, which until that point had been fruitless. But that wasn't the only Earth-shattering phone call she had received that year. After finally escaping her past as an assassin and vigilante, she was dragged right back. The reason? She had to fight for the universe, which had been nothing but cruel to her. - "Everyone is redeemable," He said. "Thanks, T'Challa. I needed that," I smiled softly. "Where do you plan to go now?" He asked. "I don't know. I can't go home. I can't stay here. I'll probably just find a small, uninhabited corner of the world and live there, away from all the death and destruction that plagues my life," I said. "That sounds peaceful," He said. "It'd be a nice break from life. Besides, if I did, I couldn't hurt anyone else," I said. "You've only hurt horrible people," He said. "Everyone who ever loved me has died," I said. "Maybe you were loved by the wrong people," He suggested. "Among those are my father and my mother. If they were the wrong people to love me, then I don't know if anyone could," I said. - Disclaimer - I don't own any of the rights to the characters or the plotlines, except for Tanya and my ideas.
