    A story from the male lead's point of view is a non bl story, but if you want to read the bl version, check out my account. You will find it there I rule my school the way my family rules the country-quietly, absolutely, without consequence. Money buys silence. Influence buys obedience. And fear keeps everyone in line. Then Ananya Rao walks into my classroom. She's young, foreign, and foolish enough to believe rules still matter here. Appointed as my homeroom teacher, she steps into a system already owned by my father, my mother, and ultimately, by me. I test her the way I test everyone else. Pressure. Humiliation. Control. But unlike the others, she doesn't bend the way I expect her to. This is my story-of power unchecked, lines crossed, and a battle I never planned to lose... until I realised some wars don't end with winners. It will be updated every ✨️SATURDAYS✨️ 😉

    Jasmine knows what rejection sounds like. After five years of being told her voice isn't right, her face isn't right, her heritage isn't right, she's made peace with life behind the glass, producing music instead of performing it-until Eric Tanner walks into her studio. The Grammy-winning rock star is demanding, guarded, and sees something in Jasmine she stopped believing in. He pushes her, and reignites her dying dream of becoming a singer. As she progresses professionally, she finds herself wanting the one thing she can't have: Eric. Twelve years older, and technically still married. The connection is undeniable, and the cost is higher than either of them can afford.

    World War 3 turned the whole world into disarray, and the United States was desperate for an advantage. While hydro-fracking for resources in the Appellation mountain range, scientists found a fissure in the Earth, hidden deep in a cave near the border of Pennsylvania and New York. Out of desperation, a small group of scientists entered the fissure and found a dimension unlike our own. It was filled with Dravari: 8 feet tall dragon-like creatures. With the war on the line, the scientists offered the creatures a deal: They can cross to Earth, but only if they help the US war efforts. When the Dravari passed through, they turned on the US, intent on conquering this dimension to add to their own. In an attempt to save their world, every country banded together and began to train soldiers to fight back. Even now, 500 years later, the Dravari still threaten Earth's very existence. While they are contained, they will not be for long. Not with a cult that plots to integrate the Dravari into modern society... by any means necessary. Aella Holloway is a Reaver, a soldier who is trained to help defeat the Dravari once and for all. The Holloway line descends from one of the first ever Reavers, something that should bring her great renown, but all it will bring her now is a future that will change everything. For the better, or for the worst?

    Power is easiest to understand when it is inherited. Harder when it is exercised. Hardest when it touches desire. This is a story about a prince raised to rule, and a soldier trained to obey. About silence mistaken for consent, and order mistaken for morality. About how wanting something does not make it right- and how restraint does not always mean innocence. Set in a kingdom where appearances are maintained at all costs, this story is less interested in what is allowed publicly than in what survives privately. It is not a romance in the traditional sense. It is a study of power, shame, and the slow, uneasy education of the self. Authorship: Concept by the author, execution co-written.

    They called him a fool. That was an understatement. Immortal, unbound, and far beyond sanity, Wryath exists in the space where reason breaks and gods begin to lie. What looks like madness is calculation. What sounds like nonsense is survival. And what the world mocks as foolishness is the only mind sharp enough to see the truth. Quiet. Dark. Unsettling. The Fool: Understatement is a psychological fantasy where the most dangerous thing alive is not a god - but a man who no longer needs to make sense. Dropped into confusion. I am a 14 year old writer so sometimes thing might be weekly school is ...

    After a foggy reincarnation, our protagonist is put in the body of a spider monster in an RPG-like fantasy world. Upon awakening, she must witness the death of her only family in this world, who gives her a new name and all the knowledge she could need to survive. Watch as she lives through battles between warring kingdoms and even religions and uses those opportunities to come on top and crush everyone under her eight legs. (This is a WIP story that I am constantly revising and working on so feedback on anything is welcome, from there I can make the necessary edits to improve the story. What I do know: the main character is pretty ruthless and is definitely not a hero or a villain. She's just trying to survive in a world that rewards ruthlessness while also trying to have some fun.)
