Redemptionarc Stories

Ten years ago, Sloane asked the golden boy of their school to go out with her. He laughed. In front of everyone. She swore she'd never give Cole power over her again. Now she's back for their ten-year reunion-older, sharper, thriving in a life she built without him. And Cole? Still golden. Still infuriating. Still looking at her like she hung the moon. When a run-in with their old classmates forces them to pretend they're together, Sloane agrees-strictly for convenience, strictly temporary, strictly not falling for him again. But fake dating turns into stolen glances, almost-moments, hallway confessions, and a wildfire chemistry that's been simmering for a decade. And when Cole finally tells her the truth-that he loved her back then and was too scared to admit it-it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now Sloane has to decide: **Can she trust the man who broke her heart at seventeen...

A modern-day culinary student dies from overwork and wakes up inside her favorite fantasy novel - except she isn't the heroine. She transmigrates into Lady Seraphina Valecrest, the infamous villainess destined to ruin the heroine's life, poison nobles, and eventually be executed publicly. But there's one problem. The girl who transmigrated into Seraphina remembers every chapter of the novel. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with the tragic ending. Instead of fighting over princes and power, she decides to abandon noble society and pursue the only thing she truly loved in her past life: Cooking. However, changing fate isn't easy when: the cold crown prince still suspects her, the original heroine keeps appearing around her, nobles refuse to believe a "villainess" can change, and hidden political conspiracies begin unfolding around her restaurant. What starts as a peaceful dream of running a cozy kitchen slowly turns into something much bigger. Because Seraphina's food has a strange effect: it comforts broken people, reveals hidden memories, and even softens the hearts of those who once wanted her dead. --------- NOTE: MY ORIGINAL STORY!!

He had no name. Could not fly. Could not speak. His body was stunted, his wings were crippled, and the entire world rejected his existence. Yet he never stopped saving. It was his DNA. The very essence of his life. Every night he slipped into the village, grew medicine from his hands, healed the humans who despised him, then vanished without a trace. Not for reward. Not for recognition. Saving was the only reason he still drew breath. Until a princess knelt before him and gave him a name. ALLEXI. He did not yet know that this gift would shatter the curse that had bound him for thousands of years. That a fallen elemental god slept within him. And that saving-the only thing he knew how to do-would lead him to the greatest throne, the deepest loss, and a love he would leave unspoken for 500 years. He saved everyone. Except himself.

Addie's not the most normal kid in the world, even for a lycanoid in a world build around humans. But who cares? He's happy being himself. That is, until that self is suddenly shared with a vengeful creature using his body as a vessel to end mankind. Tormented by his own murder of his best friend, he runs away and is sheltered by a group of teens out camping for the week. Through much struggle, Addie and the angry demon begin to come to terms with the reality of their problems... but will it be enough for karma to finally run its course? - What is left unsaid will always find a way to scream. That is Inferno's philosophy - it's the reason she's still here. The reason the past has yet to let go of her writhing, angry body. So, she has decided, she will scream. She will screech and howl and burn everything she touches to ash, starting with those who have wronged her. Every last one of them. Just like they did to her. - [TWs contained in the first chapter.

Team Zoe, led by Gaara the Kazekage and his siblings, and their senseis, has finally completed its trip to Stone Village, despite numerous setbacks and a detour to a few unexpected places. They thought they were finished, but the ever stubborn Cloud Village has actually extended them an invitation to visit it. The team is dubious about whether it's a wise plan, since they still have Sasuke Uchiha, the Cloud's most hated Leaf, and his old team, Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo, in their party. But they press onward to Cloud anyway, and little do they know that they're about to uncover far more than they ever bargained for. Meanwhile in Cloud, Mabui, the humble assistant to Lord Ay, the Raikage (and the one person they saved from the Ten Tails attack) has been preparing for their arrival. While she'll be held responsible for how their visit goes off, is there another reason Ay has assigned her to them? And is she someone they can trust? (This story continues from "The Way Through Stone Village" and is the last of the Peace Mission Saga. It features shipping, mystery, and internal tension. Primary characters are the Sand Siblings, the heroes from UA, Momo, Shoto, Dabi, Camie, and Bakugo, and the Leaf ninja. Some OCs are added from the first books.)

In the same room. Every. Single. Day. Eva knows better than to trust him again. Will knows he already messed this up once. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just business.

*COMING SOON TO AMAZON* At eighteen, Renee believed love could survive anything-distance, fear, even the future. With a positive pregnancy test in her hand and a promise from the boy she loved, she waits at midnight for Jackson so they can run away together and start again. But the night he never shows up changes everything. Heartbroken and alone, Renee leaves her life behind and boards a bus to nowhere, carrying both her grief and the child she chooses to keep. In a home that would never accept her truth, she becomes a mother in silence, rebuilding her life one impossible day at a time. The only reminder of what she lost is the name she gives her son-Jackson. Two years later, Jackson returns without warning. Older, changed, and finally ready to face what he ran from, he finds Renee in a small town with a child who looks at him like he belongs in a life he never earned. The truth hits harder than anything else ever could: the boy he left behind is his son. Renee doesn't welcome him back easily. She cannot afford to. Love, for her, was never the problem-trust was what broke her. If Jackson wants a place in their lives, he will have to earn it in ways apologies alone cannot fix. What follows is a slow, painful rebuilding of what was lost: a man learning responsibility too late, a woman protecting the life she built alone, and a child who unknowingly becomes the bridge between them. As Jackson stays-day by day, choice by choice-he begins to understand that redemption isn't found in coming back. It's found in refusing to leave again. But even second chances have a cost. And some hearts remember exactly how they were broken. "The Night You Didn't Come" is a deeply emotional second-chance romance about missed timing, unexpected parenthood, and the kind of love that only survives when it is rebuilt-not restarted.

Taylor's summer break was supposed to be simple- sunshine, family, and the quiet comfort of her growing friendship with Ethan. But when Ryan unexpectedly reappears, desperate to make things right, Taylor is forced to face the boy who broke her heart. Torn between the warmth of new love and the lingering ache of what once was, Taylor must decide whether forgiveness is possible... or whether her future lies with someone who never let her fall.

After everything they went through, Por and Teetee decide not to be boyfriends. Not yet. Instead, they start over as two people learning each other from the beginning. No bets. No pretending. No shortcuts. Just shared walks, late-night conversations, awkward firsts, and the slow realization that maybe falling in love isn't the hard part. Maybe it's truly getting to know someone. And maybe, this time, they'll do it right. "Nice to meet you again." ❤️

"Before I could chop him up like one of my old dolls, I realized a startling revelation: I loved Tyler Galpin. It's irrational and reckless, but as my mother would say, so am I." This story picks up after season 2: While on the hunt for Enid, Wednesday finds herself in Hyde territory during an impending winter storm.

Ishan had nothing to lose when he met Saloni. A shy boy from a small village, burdened by poverty but blessed with brilliance - Delhi was his new world, full of fear and unknown faces. And then, he heard her voice. A single "May I come in?" that changed everything. Before he even saw her face, his heart already belonged to her. Saloni Sharma had everything to lose when she met Ishan. Her parents' trust, her peace, her carefully built walls. For someone raised under strict eyes, talking to a boy was unthinkable - yet Ishan's kindness made her feel seen for the first time. What started as friendship soon turned into something deeper, something both beautiful and forbidden. But love, as they learned, can wound deeper than words. One rumor. One confession. One heartbreak. She walked away. He stayed shattered. Years later, fate brought them together again - only this time, he wasn't the same boy who once skipped meals to buy her a gift. He was successful. Strong. Silent. And she was the one in pain. Because destiny has its own way of healing hearts - sometimes through love, sometimes through regret, and sometimes... through forgiveness.

In a world of despair and manipulation, Hajime Hinata awakens to a truth he never expected: the island, the trials, even his own identity are part of a cruel simulation. Trapped with the enigmatic and unpredictable Nagito Komaeda, Hajime must navigate deadly games, unravel hidden secrets, and confront the darkness within himself. Nagito's obsession with hope pushes the limits of sanity, leading him to orchestrate a near-fatal trap - only for fate to twist, leaving him wounded and vulnerable. As the survivors fight to escape the collapsing simulation, Hajime and Nagito's bond grows through pain, sacrifice, and unwavering trust. Together, they face despair, confront the remnants of their pasts, and learn that hope isn't always loud or heroic - sometimes it's quiet, fragile, and shared between two souls determined to survive. From fire and chaos to healing and peace, this is a slow-burn story of survival, trust, and love blossoming in the shadow of despair.

Ana was never supposed to feel anything. Not guilt. Not love. And definitely not the spark of something human when she looked at Grayson Hawthorne - the boy she was sent to kill. She's a weapon, trained to vanish without a trace, to sever emotion before it ever roots. But then came the ambush, the nightmares, the shared silences between them. Now the heir she was meant to destroy is the only person who makes her feel seen - and that terrifies her more than any mission ever has. Because if he ever finds out the truth, it will destroy them both. Grayson doesn't trust her. Not really. She's dangerous, sharp, a mystery he can't solve - and the only person who's ever made him forget who he's supposed to be. He should stay away. He should demand answers, lock her down, hand her over. But instead, he finds himself watching her bleed, shaking as she sleeps, falling for her when he knows he shouldn't. Because Ana isn't just some assassin with secrets. She's broken. She's brutal. And somehow, he's the one who wants to keep her alive. Even if it kills him. *New Chapter every Monday, 12 pm PT* ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes and scenes that may be distressing to some readers, including: self-harm, PTSD, trauma, murder/assassination, parental abuse, dissociation, graphic injuries, and morally complex situations.

Beneath the broken cities, buried in ash and steel, lies the Filthlands-a cold, lawless sprawl of tunnels, firelit camps, and rebels with nothing left to lose. Bellara was never meant to lead. But after the death of a legend and a failed execution by the government, she finds herself at the center of a war no one planned, surrounded by killers, cowards, and ghosts. As the last spark of resistance, she's forced to rise-not as a hero, but as a fighter with blood on her hands and vengeance in her heart. Her people are starving. Her allies are fractured. And the government just made its biggest mistake: t inhey came for her home. Now, with the help of a nameless sharpshooter, a reckless brother, and the shattered remains of the Seven, Bellara will either burn the world back into balance-or lose what's left of herself trying. Power isn't inherited. It's taken.

She flew to Seville to save her family's future. She did not know what she was flying into. Kamilah is sharp, composed, and prepared for an arranged marriage that will merge two resort empires and preserve everything her family built. What she is not prepared for is the scale of what has already been constructed against her: a calculated campaign to make her walk away, a contract clause she was never shown that makes walking away impossible, and a man who is more dangerous because he has convinced himself he is justified. Diego did not want this marriage. He had other plans and other loyalties. He deployed them without mercy. And he was very good at it. What neither of them planned was her. Tides of Torment is an international slow-burn romance with real darkness behind the luxury. Corporate warfare, buried secrets, psychological manipulation, betrayals from people who looked like allies, and a woman who refuses to be unmade by any of it. The story moves from the courtyards of Seville to the streets of Old Havana to the tango halls of Buenos Aires and back again, building heat slowly and deliberately until it is impossible to contain. The cruelty is real. The reckoning is real. So is what grows in the space between them when there is nothing left to hide behind. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
