Some love stories aren't written in ink...they're etched in time.

As secrets unfold and pasts are rewritten, Reyansh must come to terms with his own vulnerability, and Saanvi must learn to trust the unfamiliar tenderness in his eyes.

🌹 ROSEBOUND A Sapphic Beauty-and-the-Beast Retelling She traded her freedom to save her father. She didn't expect to fall for the monster who stole her away. When Ainslie is taken to the mountain fastness as payment for an old debt, she expects cruelty. She expects teeth, claws, darkness. What she finds instead is Kiernan- the cursed Huntress bound to transform into a Beast each night, a woman made of winter and secrets, a protector who has forgotten how to be anything but alone. The mountain wants Ainslie. The curse wants blood. And the last black petal on Kiernan's enchanted rose is already trembling. But the Beast does not harm Ainslie. She shields her. Hunts for her. Watches her with a hunger that has nothing to do with teeth. And when Ainslie touches her- the curse shudders. Breaks. Changes. As the villagers prepare to destroy the Beast, Ainslie must decide: Will she flee back to the life she lost... or risk everything to save the woman she has come to love? A sapphic romantasy filled with yearning, winter storms, cursemark tension, slow-burn desire, and a love powerful enough to change the shape of a monster. Perfect for fans of Thorn, For the Wolf, and sapphic Fairy Tale retellings.

They say the world ended a thousand years ago - not with fire, but with light. When the Quantum Core was detonated, it tore the fabric of space itself, merging Earth with the realm that lay beside it - a place of raw magic and endless possibility. From the ruins of that collision, life began anew. The skies shimmered with twin suns, the forests whispered with their own thoughts, and humanity changed. Some were born Kithborn - their souls intertwined with ancient spirits known as Kith. These beings took form as majestic creatures, guardians bound by fate to protect and amplify their human counterparts. And so, the Age of Awakening began.

Laura Steinberg is a special effects artist working on film sets in Seattle, crafting lifelike prosthetics and cinematic illusions. By day, she builds monsters for the screen. By night, she uses those same skills for a different purpose: impersonating elderly people to recoup money that was fraudulently taken from them. It isn't legal, but the commission help support her mother's expensive cancer treatments. When Laura takes on a case involving a charming financial advisor siphoning funds from his aging clients, she executes her smartest recovery yet. But the heist draws the attention of the FBI and of Kiran Müller, the reclusive CEO of a biotech company whose daughter was murdered twenty years ago. Müller offers Laura something no one else can: full coverage of her mother's treatment and legal protection, in exchange for one month living at his Lake Tahoe estate to reconstruct the final days of his daughter's life. What begins as an assignment quickly unravels into a psychological maze. The more Laura uncovers, the more she realizes Müller is not simply seeking answers he is controlling the narrative. Someone in the house is lying. Someone wants her there. And someone knows the truth behind Laura's own past. As Laura's disguises shift from tool to identity, she must confront the central question at the heart of Müller's offer: When we become who we pretend to be, what part of the original self disappears? THE PEOPLE WE THINK WE ARE explores identity, surveillance, deception, and the stories we construct to survive ourselves. I believe it will appeal to readers of Alex Michaelides, Frieda McFadden, Tana French, and Lisa Jewell. https://youtu.be/pQy7BWKy7Qg?si=SlFCH7z7AiilmFN7

She came to Erebor as a duty - a diplomatic bargain, a political bride in everything but name. He was the king she was meant to negotiate with, not fall for. A man carved from stone and fire, impossible to sway... until she did. What begins as an alliance becomes something neither can step back from. A pull too deep, too dangerous, too undeniable. But the closer she stands to Thorin Oakenshield, the clearer it becomes: Power has enemies. Kings have shadows. And every choice has a cost. In a mountain that remembers every promise, two stubborn hearts discover that some bonds are forged - and some are claimed.

This started as a class project but is something I wanted to do for what seems like forever. Please hate because this is my first time writing something like this and please let me know what I can add or change. This is heavily inspired by initial d (Obviously) but my choice of an ae86 wasn't because of that its just because I love that damn 86. Its always been the most Japanese looking car and appealed to me when I first saw it at a car show. Anyway beside that heres the story. Keiji Kimura is saving up for his dream car... a 180sx. One problem, he's dirt poor and can only has enough for a junky 86. One day he reluctantly buys one since its the only FR he can afford and regrets it. But when he takes it out on the local pass with his friend Wataru something crazy happens. Btw ignore some borrowed names from initial d I wanna replace them down the line. Also ignore the lack of names I also will add those down the line. Anyway that it for now Ill post chapters once I edit them since they were for a school project.

A baby? On a battlefield? Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her. His best friend is no help; he thinks Marcus is a sucker for taking the kid in. The slave who ends up babysitting the child is no better; she thinks Marcus has ulterior motives - bad ones. Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.

In doing so, they have finally come upon another planet, a planet with life. Hidden within this new planet, trapped under the cruelty of new occupants, lives a dragon.

A world that he soon may change forever. (Cover done By Zacc McLean)
