Ellen Sartori doesn't explain herself. At twenty-four, she's a ghost in the lecture hall-precise, self-contained, and determined to stay invisible after a year that nearly broke her. She takes the notes others ignore. She asks the questions no one dares to voice. She is, by every measurable standard, the one student Professor Nicholas Ferrara should never notice. He notices. Nicholas Ferrara doesn't just teach cognitive linguistics; he dissects the human soul through the subtext of speech. He has spent twelve years maintaining a surgical distance between himself and the world. But when Ellen hands in her first paper, the professional wall he built begins to crumble, word by agonizing word. He tells himself his interest is academic. He tells himself the office hours that bleed into the night are an anomaly. He tells himself that his obsession with her silence is merely professional observation. He's wrong. In the vacuum between what is said and what is meant, a dangerous game begins. In this classroom, silence is the loudest confession, and the line between mentor and predator isn't just crossed-it's erased.

In all the 17 realms, The Merge was something never seen before. Some of the damage was irreparable. Families were separated, civilisations destroyed, and lives were forever changed, for the better or for the worse. We follow Y/N L/N, a hawk formling who used to call The Never Realm her home. She has heard of the tale of the 5 saviours who rescued her realm (particularly about the green one... what was his name again?). Y/N's friends, Akita and Kataru, who claim to have played a part in defeating him, were with Y/N when it happened. They were going for a run (or, fly, in Y/N's case), before the sky seemed to crack open, the gap revealing what looked like an entirely different world. The calm breeze Y/N glided on became a strong gale, and she was pulled to the sky. The howl of a wolf. That was the last thing she heard, before all she saw was darkness. In her adventures in the merged lands, she discovers her own elemental power, and meets the five saviours of her realm, along with their new recruits. But even with her new found family, she just wants to return home. But, something seems to always get in the way. *NO PLANNED ROMANCE!

Deep in the heart of Aryavarta, power is carved from blood and silence carries more weight than any spoken word. Here, the throne of Ilavarti stands alone. Sarvadaman is the feared Samrat, a ruler shaped by grief and iron. Dark whispers trail him through cold marble halls. Men speak of a king who cannot love, who will not forgive, and who never forgets a face or a debt. Far away in the quiet land of Videha, a forgotten princess lives within the shadows of her own name. Avantika is often dismissed as meek or unworthy. Yet beneath her soft gaze lies a sharp mind that listens while others boast, seeing everything the world chooses to ignore. When fate binds them in a marriage that neither desired, Ilavarti prepares for a grand celebration. But beneath the gold and the ancient rituals, something far more dangerous starts to wake. In narrow alleys and locked chambers, through coded messages and secret deals, a web of lies begins to pull tight. Old loyalties start to break. Trust is turned into a blade. Suddenly, the throne itself is a prize worth any murder. As hidden enemies move closer and secrets start to fray, the empire teeters on the edge of a storm it does not yet see coming. In a world where shadows move long before kings do, only one question matters. Who truly holds the power of Ilavarti?

[GxG] She was born in peace but raised by war. Akihime is the hidden daughter of two powerful bloodlines, heir to a kingdom built on a fragile truce. To some, she is a miracle. To others, a weapon waiting to happen. Beneath lies a girl who feels too deeply for her own good, one who fears that the same power meant to save others may one day destroy her instead. When the Fire Nation steals her home, and Azula claims her as her own, Akihime finds herself trapped between flame and water, hatred and devotion, power and control. And the closer she gets to the princess meant to break her, the harder it becomes to remember which one of them is truly dangerous. --- (Azula x Oc) Note: This doesn't 100% necessarily follow the plot of the original Atla series.

"Give me your eyes, I need sunshine" - I'll Believe in Anything (wolf parade) At Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory-Hufflepuff's "golden boy"-was always easy to understand-popular, capable, always exactly what people expect. You never needed to look too closely to know exactly who he was meant to be. You on the other hand, foul-mouthed, clumsy, and unfortunately charming, had always been harder to place. Not that you ever minded-mostly. In a tumble of events during your time at Hogwarts, you start to notice how Cedric Diggory isn't always who he presents himself to be. Habits. Reactions. The way he exists when no one's really looking. And suddenly he's harder to ignore-a piece that never quite fit where you first placed him.

In love with one...destroying myself with another. I've been in love with him for years. He just never noticed. So I learned how to move on. Or at least pretend to. No strings. No feelings. No attachments. Just enough distraction to forget the one person I can't have. But then he comes back. And suddenly- I'm not invisible anymore. He sees me. Talks to me. Needs me. Needs me... to teach him how to love another girl. A girl he swears is everything he's ever wanted. A girl he doesn't realize- is me. So I smile. I help him. I break my own heart, one lesson at a time. Because if he's finally ready to love- I'll make sure he gets it right. Even if it kills me. **** A messy situationship. A love triangle that was never supposed to happen.

Now, she found herself married to Vihaan, a man she barely knew, bound by a piece of paper that felt more like an obligation than a union.

Signing those papers on his grandmother's behest had been a road he had sworn he would never take. As they navigated their unexpected marriage, silence filled the space between them. Vaani's need for independence and Vihaan's palpable detachability made little room for anything else. And yet, while Vaani's heart sometimes tempted fate, Vihaan's walls made it impossible for him to be vulnerable. Could they learn to break down the barriers that held them apart, or would their differences keep them forever entwined in silence?
