Retro Stories

Sypnosis: જ⁀➴ Gu Yueyue wakes up and realizes she's just a stand-in wife in a retro romance novel. Her new husband, the story's cold villain, only married her because she resembled the heroine. In the original plot, once the stand-in discovers the truth, she causes drama and ends up discarded, while the villain meets a bad end. But Gu Yueyue, now self-aware, decides: if she's a stand-in, she'll outshine the original. She puts on a school uniform, smile bright. "Like this? Getting the vibe?" The villain: *gulp* Heart racing. She swaps to a red slip dress, hair damp, heels tapping. "What about now? Am I your white moonlight?" The villain, trembling: "No." "Then why are you holding me?" Later, she asks, "Didn't you say I'm cuter than your white moonlight?" He offers her a black dress. "Try this one?" She rolls her eyes. "Scram." Gu Yueyue: "The male lead's chasing his wife in the crematorium arc. Want to try it too?" Villain: "Screw that plot. You're mine. I won't let anyone near my wife."

Since ancient times, a woman's life has been likened to a river. She is born in one place, often unnamed, and flows forward-not by choice, but by circumstance. Along her path, she nourishes all she touches. She gives, but is rarely held. In the end, she reaches the ocean-not as a retreat, but as a return. For the ocean has always waited for her-quiet, vast, eternal. Some poets say it is her destiny; others believe it is the love she was always denied-an ardent longing that defines her journey.

[Wattys 2022 Winner!] Vanessa Brooks, an anxious and cynical seventeen year-old, discovers she can travel to the summer of 1953 through the run-down community pool in her rural Michigan town and risks her future as she falls for a boy who lives in the past. ****** On the last day of junior year, Vanessa Brooks joins her friends for a traditional jump into the city pool to celebrate the beginning of summer and the last year they plan to spend in Palmer, Michigan; a dead-end riverside town with an eerily abandoned historic main street and decaying Victorian mansions. But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town. But as she dives deeper into the summer her grandparents fell in love, she finds herself unable to return to the present without venturing even further into the past to correct a mistake that threatens her family and future. *Content Warning: this story contains scenes of near drowning and other perils on the sea, swearing, smoking and alcohol use* This story is complete at ~90,000 words.

They vanished without a trace. Twenty-five years ago, ten children disappeared in the forests near Yewhill. Today, Professor Jacob MacMallad returns to Graiport-a town that has never forgiven him-to finally reveal the truth he's carried for decades. Eleven from Graiport is the story of a group of children caught in a cosmic game between gods, trapped between Earth and Hell, forced to face powers far beyond their understanding. Are you ready to uncover Jacob's secret? The Living Palace is the first book in the Eleven from Graiport trilogy-a YA fantasy adventure originally written in Spanish. Parts II and III (Unexpected Paths and Heart of Dragon) are also available in Spanish and awaiting translation. This saga blends epic fantasy, mythological creatures, and magic with pop culture, dark humour, and deeply personal reflections. Ordinary teenagers. Unbelievable realms. And the terrifying cost of being chosen. This is a newly adapted and illustrated version of the original trilogy by Fernando G. de Calderón, first published in 2015.

The year is 2008(AD), and the world is in the throes of another 70s revival. Nobody knew how or why it all began. That is the least of humanity's problems, however. Reality itself seems to be breaking down, to the dismay of scientists, corporate titans and the ruling elites/reptilian demigods that have lorded it over the existing structure for countless eons. Secret agent Cassius Croon is hired to investigate a series of particularly bizarre events transpiring around the globe. They suspect he is the One. Actually, he is the None.

(Im not going to be updating this book for now, I will probably come back to it later. Hope you understand!) Minho came, and Jisung's world shifted-laughter lingered longer, glances held a quiet weight, and ordinary moments gleamed with possibility. Something tender grew between them, fragile and unspoken, like frost catching the first light of dawn. Then winter arrived, and life pulled Minho away-goodbyes beneath falling snow, promises trembling in the cold air. Years stretched, slow and unyielding, the distance widening until it felt infinite. Two decades later, Jisung still feels the echo of him, a presence in memory and longing, a love suspended in time, haunting the spaces between what was and what might have been. #1 in seungbin 5/10/2025 #1 in boyxboylove 8/11/2025 #1 in topminho 12/11/025 #1 in sideships 14/11/2025

November 24, 1926. One night. 2,500 souls. A ship deemed unsinkable. The MS Solomon Queen is the crown jewel of the ocean-244 meters of steel, luxury, and ambition cutting through the Marvegan waters. For young journalist Evelyn Fairchild, it's supposed to be a routine assignment. For heiress Meret Mert-Kau, it's an escape to freedom. For film producer Charles Rinkewicz, it's a celebration of success. But when a violent storm strikes and a fatal mistake unfolds in the vehicle deck, the Queen begins her slow descent into the abyss. As icy water floods the corridors and lifeboats become battlegrounds, class barriers shatter. Love blooms in the chaos. Heroes emerge from the darkness. And 2,500 lives hang in the balance as the ocean claims its prey.

Most will not. None will ever be the same.* ⚓ Historical Fantasy Fiction | Disaster | Romance | Multiple POV 🚢 Inspired by The Sims Universe 💔 A story of courage, loss, and the price of arrogance "The ocean is the true sovereign of this world, and we are merely arrogant guests on its surface." **Warning: Contains depictions of tragedy, death, and survival that may be emotionally intense.** New chapters will be published every Tuesday. #HistoricalFiction #Disaster #MaritimeTragedy #MultiplePOV #Alterra #TheSims #Romance #Survival #ClassWarfare #Fantasy

The year is 1959, and for its very first time, Welton Academy Boarding School is now accepting female students. Violet Ross is not only one of those girls, but the only girl in the graduating class. She feels as though she must face her fears entirely alone, until she comes across a quirky group of boys. Also known as The Dead Poets. Violet soon finds herself becoming rather close with one in particular... "I'm not entirely sure I even knew what constituted 'love,' until I had met him. Now the mere thought of him made me ache to be with him, to look at him, to touch him. I couldn't quite put my feelings into words. Even as I try, few seem to suffice. An entire sea of ink could not adequately describe my feelings towards him. It was almost as if all the stars in the sky were condensed into a single, twinkling one. The only words I felt could convey some of what I felt for him, easily fell from my lips. ' I love you, too.'"

A Peeping Tom finds that looking at women undressing can have chilling, if not frozen, effects. A cautionary tale of lust and lunacy, and a splash of cold water in the face of local politics.

A/N: I feel like I should clarify some details since this is a Stranger Things fanfic and obviously not my own original story. The story starts off in Season 3 during the summer of 1983. I'm going to try and keep the storyline realistic to the 80s as much as I can, but if you notice that I accidentally mess up on slang, fashion, etc just politely let me know :). Also I'm aware that Max in the actual series is not gay, however this fanfic is showing her as wlw. If you have a problem with that you're welcome to find a different story :). Anyway thankyou reader for clicking on my story and if you have any questions just comment them on the story!

The Great Story of Arte is a psychological mystery about identity, control, and the quiet collapse of a city that doesn't want to be understood.
