    The Granger Effect is the infuriating process by which Hermione Granger dismantles your worldview one correction at a time. First, she proves you wrong in class. Then she proves you wrong about intelligence, about discipline, about what power actually looks like. And before you know it, she's proven you wrong about her: about Muggle-borns, about rules, about everything you were taught to believe. The final stage is the worst: you realize you're paying attention not because you want to argue, but because you want to listen. You start measuring your own thoughts against hers. You notice the way her voice changes when she's explaining something she loves. And somehow, without flirting, without trying, without mercy, she makes you fall in love with her. That is the Granger Effect: losing every argument, every certainty, and eventually, your dignity... to a girl who never on intended to conquer you, but did anyway.

    After John Stirling's death and his cousin's abrupt departure, Francesca retreats into silence at Kilmartin House, certain that the quiet life she shared with her husband is all that remains of her future. Then Michaela Stirling returns. What begins as a reluctant reunion to settle the final matters of John's estate quickly becomes something far more complicated. Old grief, sharp words, and unfinished conversations linger between them- along with a growing tension neither woman quite understands. And with Michaela set to leave again on Monday morning, Francesca may be forced to confront feelings she never knew she could have.

    ⚠ Warnings (Please Read) ⚠ Alcohol consumption, Parental illness, slight non-consensual physical act (alcohol induced), jealousy, mental health struggles, and profane language. Fifteen years of friendship, until one whisky-soaked night changes everything. Liam has spent half of his life trying to hide that he felt something along the lines of love for Jude, his now exshausted finance best friend. However, Jude's idea of love is the polar opposite of what Liam sees. What started as a Saturday night with drinks soon spiraled into a haze of vulnerability, confessions, 100$ bets, and ended with a car ride where lines between "best friends" and "soulmates" blurred into the city lights. English is not my first language, but I'll make sure y'all don't get the ick as you read. Promise.

    They met when they were too young to understand what forever really meant. At fifteen, Harold Finch, a highly intelligent outsider was the little nerd everyone avoided or bullied in school. John Reese being seventeen at that time was the new boy everyone in class wanted to follow the wrong crowd to also bully Harold. Instead, John chose to protect him. What began as protection slowly became something neither of them could live without. Protection became friendship, friendship became love. Then, without warning, John was gone. Years later, Harold builds a machine to save strangers. Officially, it's about protecting people. Unofficially, he has never stopped searching for one person. John Reese is alive. He has a new name, a new life, and a past he buried long ago. He doesn't believe in the past anymore. New identities, new missions, new lives - that's how he survives. They work side by side without recognizing each other first. Until the man who hired him begins to feel familiar... A voice. A habit. A feeling he thought he'd lost forever. Neither of them is sure. Until a photograph. Until a letter. Until the past finds its way back. And they realize the truth: After all these years, they finally found the one they never stopped looking for. Because some promises don't end.

    Before Norah Bishop almost ruined his life (affectionate), Daniel Cohen had already been in love with her for approximately eight unnecessary years. This was not just romantic. It involved: • aggressive observing • long-term emotional repression • a completely one-sided rivalry with Sebastian Iver • and the deeply unsettling suspicion that something about Norah wasn't right when she came back different He didn't chase her. He didn't confess. He just quietly spiraled while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. These are the years before anyone called it a love story. Locker rooms. Early morning runs. Passive-aggressive jump shots. And the slow, humiliating realization that loving someone quietly does not make you noble. It just makes you tired. This is Daniel's side of the story. It's sarcastic. It's observant. It's occasionally unwell. And unfortunately for him, it still leads back to her. -- Norah & Daniel Universe - Companion Collection - Prequel pieces & Daniel POV chapters but can also be read on their own

    Thayu is learning how to carry silence. At home. At school. In the spaces where childhood should have been louder. Then there's Malik-easy laughter, steady presence, a warmth that arrives without asking. Marked by small things. Shared moments. Familiar corners. A sweetness in the air that lingers longer than it should. What begins quietly grows in the margins: walks that stretch too long, half-finished sketches, moments that almost happen, feelings without names. Around them, the world watches. Friends linger. Expectations hum. The future presses closer than either of them is ready for. My Banana Bubblegum is a slow-burn romance about closeness before confession, the ache of almost, and how some connections don't arrive loudly-they settle in, and stay.

    What would you do if your worst enemy broke your only rule? And what would you do if your frienemy won't speak to you because of it? ~ Nathaniel "Nate" Quinn and Samuel "Sam" Watson are the pinnacle of Brookfell Academy excellence. For the past five years, they've been locked in battle of teasing and one upmanship to the joy and entertainment of the student body. They have one rule - they don't mess with friends and family. This is between them and them alone. So when Nate breaks their rule by accident on Brookfell's 'Family Night', everything falls apart. Sam shuts him out with quiet vigor, their rivalry dead to him. Nate, desperate for their back-and-forth to return, proposes something drastic: to make things right, Nate will be at Sam's whim for a month, doing anything and everything he says within reason. Sam begrudgingly accepts, with serious consequences if Nate fails. And as their arrangement plays out, and Brookfell Academy gets let out for winter break, the line between 'rival' and whatever they could've been starts to blur. As high heels, snowstorms, and music pass between them, it becomes apparent that their feelings have been ignored or left unchecked, and things start bubbling to the surface. ~ All rights reserved.

    Three souls bound by destiny, their fates entwined in silence-until a fourth arrives to rewrite the legend, and hearts face a love they dare not name. A hundred years ago, a plan was set in motion to defeat the Calamity. It told of a brave young man who bore the soul of the hero and wielded the Sword that Seals the Darkness, a princess with the blood of the Goddess flowing through her veins, and a mighty demon king whose hatred cursed the land. These three were destined to clash in a long-foretold battle. Yet, unbeknownst to them, another would intervene-and her fate would become forever entwined with theirs, binding her soul to the same eternal curse that the three bearers of the Triforce were doomed to endure. This story is mine but the characters from the Legend of Zelda and the game itself is owned by Nintendo. The book cover is also not mine and belongs to another artist, but I may eventually draw my own to go with it.
