Scars Stories

When a murder shakes her tiny village, Alera will discover a horrifying link between the scars on her arms and the werewolves and vampires that stalk her home. ***** Nineteen-year-old Alera has grown up in the village of Adaymos, listening to stories about the monsters that live in the forest that surround her home. Labelled an outcast because of the scars on her arm, she's an easy scapegoat after one of the villagers is found murdered, but when newcomer Will is framed instead she's forced to question everything she knows about the mysterious outsider. Could he really be the killer? Or is he hiding more about the werewolves and vampires that live in the forest -- and the truth behind Alera's scars -- than he lets on?

This is not a sequel to Manzil, but rather a part of it. There are a few moments I couldn't include in the main story, so I'm sharing them here. Think of this as a collection of one-shots that explore Arav's feelings, Abhir's truth, what happened to him, and who Abhir really was when they first met. It also delves into the bond between Abhir and Angad, and how his betrayal impacted the Kapadias.

y/n doesn't speak. Not because they can't. Because they learned silence is safer. No records. No past. No name...just destruction left behind in the ashes of broken labs and memories that haunt her wherever she goes. Robin doesn't believe in coincidences. When he starts tracking a string of destroyed labs, all evidence points to one thing: y/n isn't a villain. They're a survivor. But Robin doesn't trust people he can't understand. Especially not the ones he can't stop thinking about. But when a stolen drive exposes a hidden network of human experimentation, children turned into weapons, everything changes. Because y/n isn't just connected to the labs. They're the reason they burned. Now the Titans are hunting them. Watching them. Trying to decide if they're a threat... or something far worse. And for the first time in a long time... y/n doesn't run. ⚠️ Slow burn ⚠️ Trauma / experimentation themes ⚠️ Morally gray characters ⚠️ Robin x FemReader (eventual) ⚠️ Found family... maybe Some monsters are made. Some survive. And some come back for answers.

"It's year 1982," scribbling sounds can be heard from behind the curtains along side the bed frame, "Founding Farmers of International Security developed a nuclear, war resistant ship to protect its inhabitants and later fund scientific research on oceanic protection programs. However, the International Beacon of Ocean Conservation team that we have assigned are going to face many trials beginning that year..." There's hesitation in that soft voice as he relayed the message. "It's so hard to sleep nowadays. With these images roaming in my head." They pinch the bridge of their eyebrows. "Write a note. I have something..." The other standing voice perks up, "What will it be, sir?" The pen touches the paper. "In some nights it will feel endless, that when you reach the end, you will realize that there is no turning back. So do not be nocturnal, Octonauts." "Pacific Coast, 8:34 pm "Why did we ever agree to this?" Dashi pulls out a knife from her pouch and cracks the screen, she positions herself and with a small grunt shoves her foot into the glass, as the shards drift across the tipsy halls. She pulls out the emergency tool box and swims her way to a nearby exit. As much as Dashi wanted to complain about the weight of the emergency tool box that Tweak had supplied, she knew she had to talk to her about it later." *; . +: * . .

This story follows the tale of a former Marine Captain named Damien Grey. He left the Marines in shame after half of his squad was gunned down in a valley in Afghanistan. He blames himself for not picking up the signs of danger and leading them straight to their deaths, including his childhood best friend Marcus. After the Marines, he retreated to his home city of Boston where he'd turned to hide away in his apartment. He often had nightmares about that day and heard Marcus' final words echo through his head. Damien was a special soldier tho and was a part of the Marines' most deadly unit in Afghanistan, The 21st MARSOC Division. They had a perfect record and always came back to base with mission accomplishment. This was done thanks to Damien's special cloaking suit that turned him invisible to the naked eye. This is why on a special day in late autumn he was approached by Team Rainbow Six's lead director Six who offered him a spot on the team and wanted his knowledge of the middle east to help in the location of a missing Marine that could hold key information on the worlds most deadly terrorist organization The White Masks. After not being in combat for many years this is all he dreamed of and took the offer. Little did he know that upon arrival at the base he would crack the shell on his sealed heart after meeting his roommate that had also recently been broken herself. He couldn't resist her scared personality and made it his first mission to do his best to heal her heart and after resisting at first a nightmare awoke her to the realization that she had fallen in love again. Now with them both a single thin wall apart they felt the one thing they'd never imagined ever feeling again, love for another person.

In the weeks following Scar's decisive victory, a new chapter unfolds across the Five Clans. Scar has carved out a powerful, united realm-Thunder and Cobra under a single rule-but the true heart of this age is Karai, Scar and Luna's firstborn daughter. Gifted with grace, precision, and an instinct for leadership, she is granted dominion over the River Clan grounds by her own informed choice, stepping into a role that feels both ceremonial and deeply practical. She moves with the image of Azula in her prime-calm, exacting, and utterly in command-yet beneath the flawless surface lies a dedication to family, honor, and a future the five clans can trust. This is a story of quiet power, diplomatic poise, and intimate alliances. Karai's days are filled with councils, ceremonies, and the gentle, relentless work of keeping a vast, diverse realm in harmony. Her bond with Dark Hunter provides a balanced counterpoint to her radiant self-assurance, while Scar, Luna, and Scarson orbit her world as mentors and confidants. No storms rage here, only the steady, luminous drift of leadership, loyalty, and love. The River Crown invites readers to witness how a single, poised mind can shape a whole world-one graceful decision at a time.

4 years have passed since the defeat the Hawkmoth and Mayura. 4 years since Ladybug and Chat Noir fought together or even talked. Now, Marinette and Adrien's Senior year together has started. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, well still is Marinette, she still is dreaming of being fashion designer, and she still is crushing on Adrien, and she still is holding a grudge against Chat Noir since that fateful day of defeating Hawkmoth and Mayura. Adrien Agreste, well still is kind of Adrien, he still is kind of innocent, and he still is kind of figuring out where he belongs, and he still is kind of extremely scarred inwardly and outwardly since the defeat of Hawkmoth and Mayura. But Adrien isn't the same guy that Marinette fell in love with. He is changed. Adrien is sometimes still the same guy that he was, before he found out his father was Hawkmoth and his assistant, Nathalie, was Mayura. Now Adrien is still kind, still smart, still excels in everything he does, but Adrien is brave and... He is wild.
