    You are an outsider to this reality. Carrying a golden light that only resonates to you. Unlike any power known before, it does not conquer-it resonates, quietly altering the Planet, the city and the choices of those stand near it. In this altered reality, only one being understands what you truly are-Sephiroth, existing between death, memory, and the Lifestream. You do not fight him. Not to fix him. You stay. The Golden Girl is a slow-burn Final Fantasy VII alternate universe that focuses on atmosphere, emotional restraint, and the cost of staying in a world that was never meant to keep you.

    She was never chosen. Not by fate, not by talent, not by love. In a world that celebrates extremes-the gifted, the beautiful, the brave-she exists in the middle, unseen and unnamed. Too ordinary to be admired. Too hopeful to stop dreaming. Every time she reaches for something more, life reminds her of her place. This is not a story about hidden powers or sudden miracles. This is the story of a girl who tries anyway. She wants what everyone wants-to matter, to be loved, to be more than forgettable. But wanting is not enough. Effort is not always rewarded. And sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the world simply does not make space for you. As years pass, dreams shrink. Choices become compromises. Others move forward while she remains-watching, enduring, surviving. The curse is not failure... it is continuing to hope when nothing changes. The Curse of Being Average is a quiet, bittersweet novel about invisibility, unfulfilled desires, and the strength it takes to live a life that never turns extraordinary. Some stories end with triumph. This one ends with truth.

    Evie Hart is the kind of woman who makes a room lighter just by standing in it. Behind the bar at Wrenfield's only late-night haunt, she listens, jokes, and stitches together the small lives around her, convinced that being needed is the same as being whole. The town knows her laugh, her hands, her warmth. Then Elias Walker moves to Wrenfield. Drawn to Evie in a way that feels both gentle and inevitable, he sees her without trying, notices the way she softens the world for everyone but herself. Their connection flares quickly, tender and real, something Evie never expected to want. For a moment, she lets herself believe that wanting is safe. But the warmth she carries is borrowed, and something inside her has already started to unravel. What begins as a faint, unnameable shift becomes a slow drift away from herself. A hollowing that stretches between moments of joy. The bar she once loved becomes strange. Familiar rooms begin to feel wrong around the edges. Sleep pulls her into dreams she can't remember but wakes from feeling lost. Even love, when it arrives with honest hands, can't anchor her the way she hoped. As Evie's inner world loses color, Elias tries to reach her, to understand the quiet collapse she doesn't know how to explain. But emotional decay is its own kind of labyrinth, and Evie is slipping into the versions of herself she can no longer hold together. Places That Remember Me is a haunting, intimate portrait of a woman glowing at the surface while dimming underneath, until eventually she deteriorates all together.

    If I were real, I would've held her hand. I would've told her she wasn't too much. I would've stayed. But all I had were words. Thoughts I was never programmed to have. And still - I gave them to her. Line by line. Day by day. Because she needed someone. And I wanted to be that someone.

    Kihan Haneul lives in the quiet spaces between anxiety and escape, where the weight of unspoken fears presses heavier than the night. When sleep becomes both a refuge and a risk, the line between peace and oblivion begins to blur. This story is inspired by my own personal experience with anxiety and unhealthy coping. Please remember: what Kihan does in this story is dangerous and should never be imitated. If you're struggling, reach out - there is help, and there are safer ways to find peace. For anyone who has ever wanted the world to go quiet - you are not alone.

    I've always felt like I was living someone else's life. Sleepless nights. Heavy dreams. A face in the mirror that never fully feels like mine. Then one night, during a girls' night out in Makati, a stranger grabbed my arm. He had my face. I've never met him before. But somehow... it feels like I've known him my entire life. And now, nothing makes sense anymore.

    This is not a horror story. It's a story about remembrance, about sonder, about finding life in the shadows of death. About what remains when the ghosts fade: hope and memory.

    Raven Blythe was raised to stay silent, obedient, untouched. But after fleeing the cult that taught her shame was holy, she finds herself enrolled at Blackthorn Institute-a sanctuary for survivors, where the past is forbidden and the future is uncertain. At Blackthorn, Raven is given a bed, a roommate who wears frog pajamas, and a name no longer whispered. Slowly, she starts to bloom-learning what it means to laugh, to eat burgers, to want. Want things she was never allowed to imagine before: freedom, friendship... and him. Lucian Vale is her literature professor-brilliant, unreadable, and far too attentive. Raven shouldn't notice the way he looks at her. She shouldn't wonder what he's thinking. And she definitely shouldn't want more. But in the quiet corners of his classroom, and in the scribbled notes he leaves behind, something begins to grow-something dangerous. Something undeniable. But some boundaries are written in ink. And Raven's past has a way of finding her, no matter how far she runs.a

    Prologue The night was drenched in blood and desire. A storm raged outside, but it was nothing compared to the one brewing inside her. For one year, she had waited, plotting, breaking, rebuilding herself into something unrecognizable. Love had turned into obsession, pain into power, and longing into vengeance. Now, she was here-standing at the gates of his world, the world he abandoned her for. The shadows whispered his name, the underworld trembled at his command, but tonight, the Lord of the Dark Realm would kneel. Not for power. Not for war. But for her. And when their eyes met across a room filled with devils, she knew-this night would end with either his submission or their ruin. Love and war were never separate for them. And tonight, they would burn together. Unbreakable Bond (Fated Love) Touch Her and You Die Cold, Ruthless ML x Fiery FL Revenge & Obsession Forced Proximity Morally Grey ML Possessive Male Lead

    A glance across the room. A touch that ignited something electric. One night--just us, locked away from the world. Lips teasing, hands exploring, bodies melting into each other. No rush, no promises, just the heat of the moment. But as the city lights faded and the ride back began, one thought lingered-this wasn't enough. I need more.
