She was never supposed to exist in his world. Evelyn was a medical student-rational, precise, learning how to understand life through anatomy, not emotion. He was Michael Jackson-a global phenomenon, a name carved into fame itself, existing under constant light, constant eyes, constant expectation. They were never meant to meet. Never meant to collide. And yet they did. A love that lived between silence and chaos, logic and passion,control and surrender,being drowned in the lights of spotlights. But love is not always enough. Not when one person dreams of forever... and the other is still learning how to breathe. Because some loves don't end. They fracture. And even when the world believes the story is over- it continues in silence. In memory. In everything that was never said.

Because sometimes, the person who helped you become everything... becomes the one you leave behind. Alex loved Leo long before he became the man everyone admired.

Ayda Aydnik returns to her hometown with a plan: survive one school year teaching at the same high school that once broke her, collect the money, and disappear for good. The people haven't changed. The secrets definitely haven't. On her first day back, an anonymous blog appears. Every Monday at exactly 9 a.m., a new post is published-old high-school essays written by The Chosen 16, exposing secrets they never meant anyone to read. Affairs. Violence. Betrayals. Mental breakdowns. Abuse. Love stories that destroyed people instead of saving them. Ayda is on the list. Worse-she recognizes the writing. She wrote those words years ago, during the summer she refuses to talk about. As the town devours each post, friendships collapse, old hierarchies return, and trauma resurfaces. Ayda is forced to face the people she once loved, the ones she failed, and the one truth she's been running from: The past isn't haunting. Someone is weaponizing it. And whoever is behind the blog knows exactly how the story ends.

Old wounds resurface, tensions rise, and relationships shift. Especially with Katara. Because some words are better left unsaid-- some flames don't go out, no matter how far the tide pulls away. - canon divergent after season 3 - - slow burn, slow build, friends to lovers, bickering, fluff, hurt/comfort, misunderstandings, angst - - cover art by yukswl0v3 on tumblr -

I live for angst, and this is going to be just a short few parts where reader rejects Adam's advances but slowly find themselves being hit with the realization that they do indeed harbor feelings; although, not as strongly, but they were beginning to grow. If you're reading this then... the description is clickbait cuz it doesn't happen till way later in this short ahh story I'm writing. Follows the MCU timeline so keep up! However I'd like to inform you that this is very much simplified and is based around vol.3 of Guardians of The Galaxy as well as Endgame, a small brief moment of Love and Thunder and the Holiday Special. Enjoy and pls don't come for me, I'm just having fun and simping for this golden mf :)

"They got the wrong person!" That was Sable's first thought when she was chosen. But the dragon academy wasn't looking for strength. She was chosen because she didn't fit in. Her dragon refuses to obey and is her exact opposite in every way, the school turns out to be a survival trial that kills more kids than it graduates, and every step away from home pulls her further into chaos. Caught between a safe, familiar past and a reckless, tempting future she's not ready for, Sable must risk all in a gamble that could cost everything. === I haven't read many books about dragons, but the ones I have read were cool. I decided I would try my hand at it and make it as realistic as I could. There are no powers in this book. No talking, flaming breathing dragons, shapeshifters, witches, vampires, or anything else like that. It's just a story that could almost be real. I combined the dragons with a twisted version of the Hunger Games. Instead of a strict school system, it's literally survival. The teens chosen from each village get thrown into the wilderness with dragons that aren't opposed to killing. If you make it, you graduate. Not many make it. It's slow build book for sure. For example, the first 8 chapters or so only cover about a day and a half of Sable's adventures after being chosen. There is also destined to be romance in this book, a love triangle to be exact, but it's clean as a whistle I swear. This book is entirely mine (and very unedited lol) and no one is allowed to copy it. I'm actively writing book, so please forgive any inconstancies along the way. I'll do my best to give images of the characters, dragons and humans, at the beginning of some of the chapters. QN P. S. If you like this book, drop a comment at the end. I have a sequel in mind, but I'll only do it once I've reached a certain amount of views.
