    A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers. ***** It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

    After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

    In a city where artificial intelligence enforces order and emotions are classified as system errors, one android begins to feel. Sector-9 is governed by corporate gods and watched by perfect machines called Simulants. They don't question. They don't dream. They don't love.

    They were perfect. Untouchable. Inseparable. Lavish parties, lake houses, effortless wealth, but behind closed doors, the illusion crumbles. Secrets fester, addiction hides in plain sight, mania spirals dangerously, and love strikes when it's least expected. In a world obsessed with reputation and appearances, perfection is a trap. Sometimes the only way forward is to let the glass break, and hope the light can get in. // Callum Hayes was always the quiet type, never speaking unless necessary. Instead he watches, calculating, controlled, carrying a legacy that was chosen for him long before he could say no. He wore his silence like armour, his shadow as a second skin. But when it came to her, the weight of it all softened, the darkness easing just enough to let the light she carried reach him. Isla Mercer was raised to be perfect. To be kind, to be composed. She was careful, feeling too deeply and thinking too much, carrying other people's expectations like they were her own. She learned how to hold herself together even when everything around her felt fragile. Until he showed her that some people don't want perfection from her, only honesty. // Isla let out a slow breath, her gaze fixed somewhere past him. "Maybe this is how it was always going to go," she muttered. "Maybe I'm just not meant for good things, maybe it's just fate." "I don't believe in fate," he whispered, "I believe in you." // Tropes: -Friends to lovers -Found family -Coming of age -Rich society -He fell first -Quiet yearning -One bed -Slow burn -"It's always been you" -Miscommunication -Absent parents (And so much more) //

Desperate to escape the suffocating expectations, Daisy makes one impulsive choice: a last-minute ticket to a 5SOS concert.

What she doesn't expect is to end up face-to-face with Ashton, the brown-haired, green-eyed drummer who's fighting his own quiet battles behind the spotlight.

    I loved how beautiful my name once. Now I wonder if it ever belonged to me. My name is Suhani. Growing up, I believed beautiful names were meant for beautiful lives. But reality taught me that I was never the favorite not my parents' not my friends' not even God's. I was always there, always trying, but never chosen. That's why I hate stories where the soft-spoken, broken girl turns out to be God's favorite and gets everything in the end. Real life doesn't work like that. At least, it never did for me. And then, suddenly, everything started changing. My parents want me back. My best friend whom I loved quietly started returning my feelings. The love I waited for my entire life finally showed up. But instead of happiness, I felt fear. It isn't thrilling. It isn't exciting. It doesn't feel like a dream come true. It feels...wrong. Why now? Why all at once? Is this God's way of apologizing for all the years of my loneliness? Or is something bad waiting for me at the end of this sudden warmth? I don't know if they truly want me or if I'm just a pawn in someone else's secret game. What I do know is this: I will not let anyone ruin my life anymore. I will not accept love at the cost of my freedom. I will question. I will search. I will find the truth. This is not a love story. This is my story of fear, awakening, and choosing myself. Will you walk with me through this rollercoaster, where love feels dangerous, faith feels fragile, and the truth might change everything? ✨ Because sometimes, being noticed is far more terrifying than being invisible. ✨

    2025 continues where the diary left off: out on the edge of things, where days are shaped by weather, work, family, and the quiet weight of thought. This year brings change, reflection, and persistence. Life carries on through routine jobs, long days on the land, time spent with Mum, Dad, and Eric, and moments shared with friends and neighbours. There are practical concerns - machinery, responsibility, and keeping things moving - alongside the more personal challenges of communication, understanding, and finding your place within it all. Told through honest, day-to-day diary entries, Beyond The Outer Edge - 2025 captures a year lived steadily rather than dramatically: snowstorms and seasons passing, frustrations and small victories, solitude and connection. It's a record of carrying on, learning as you go, and staying present in a life that rarely shouts, but always has something to say.

The man who watched her walk away into another man's life, only to find her now, trembling in his arms and ripping off her mangalsutra.

Even if it means facing the monsters she's running from. A story of raw heartbreak, slow-burn healing, and a love that waited a lifetime to finally say-"You're safe now."

    Leo is nineteen, Russian, and trying to get through college one ordinary day at a time. He lives with his older brother, Konstantin, in a small apartment that feels more like survival than home. When a restless night sends Leo walking through a city that never seems to notice him, he meets Finn, a stranger who feels like possibility, warmth, and escape all at once. What begins as a chance encounter turns into something intense and consuming, blurring the line between love and illusion. As Leo gives more of himself away, he slowly realizes that not everyone loves the same way, and that some people are only meant to pass through, no matter how deeply they are felt. This is a story about loneliness in crowded places, first love, grief that lingers quietly, and the devastating moment when you realize that what was everything to you was never real to someone else. Told with raw intimacy and emotional honesty, it explores how easily we can lose ourselves while trying to be loved, and how hard it is to survive the aftermath.

    Falling for Harry Harwood is a slow-burn romcom set in a quiet English village. It follows Nat, a girl from Miami who is about to finish her Master's degree in Creative Writing at the University of Manchester and is very much supposed to be planning her next big move. The story begins in the summer, when her friend Emma Harwood invites her to stay with her and her family while they finish their dissertations. It's meant to be temporary. A pause. A sensible plan. But Disley has a habit of slowing things down - and Nat quickly discovers that "just for the summer" is harder to stick to than expected. Especially when Emma's older brother enters the picture. Harry Harwood runs the family cafΓ©. He's calm, reserved, quietly observant, and completely distracting. Nat notices him. Tries not to. Fails spectacularly. Between dissertation deadlines, shared meals, village routines, and more time at the cafΓ© than strictly necessary, Nat finds herself slipping into a life she never planned. She's decoding Harry one look at a time, growing closer to the Harwoods, and slowly falling for a place that was never meant to feel like home. And just when everything starts to feel easy, real life - and the future she thought she wanted - comes knocking. **This story is currently being edited.**
