    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.

    Jackson Danials has eleven exes, a wicked peanut‑butter‑cookie coping mechanism, and one rule: never fall for the kind of boy who can break your heart on purpose. Too bad destiny has a sense of humor. After a terrifying run‑in with a swarm of stinging insects he's deathly allergic to, Jackson is saved by someone impossible: a winged, glowing Prince from another realm - beautiful, dangerous, and absolutely not human. A prince who shouldn't be visible to mortals. A prince who flees the moment Jackson sees him. A prince who leaves behind an amber brooch that hums against Jackson's heartbeat like it recognizes him. Now the Natural Realm is waking up around Jackson. Plants bloom in winter. The campus greenhouse keeps resurrecting ferns. And creatures beyond the veil have begun to notice him. Aurelius Vesparune - the hornet Prince who rescued him - returns with warnings he won't fully explain and a charm he shouldn't have given. Jackson's friends are convinced this is a "Forest Boyfriend" situation. Jackson is convinced he's losing his mind. They're both wrong. Because Jackson isn't human - not fully. And falling in love with a prince may be the most dangerous prophecy of all. A slow-burn MLM dark fantasy romance full of magic, mystery, found family, dangerous politics, soft moments, glowing wings, and the kind of yearning that ruins you in the best way. If you love gentle boys, dangerous creatures, forbidden romance, cozy magic, and a boy who bakes five trays of cookies when stressed, you're in the right place.

    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.

    I wrote a poem, I hope it will resonate with you all as much as it did to me while creating this piece. Bloody Wavering Lilies is an haunting dive into grief and memory, it weaves salt, blood, and longing into a lyrical storm. It's a raw, intimate portrait of pain, inheritance, and the quiet hope for healing.

    Fifty things. That's how many fit on the list before time runs out. A woman who doesn't believe in miracles. A decision that cannot be undone. And an encounter that was never planned. Some things cannot be cured. Some things cannot be explained. And there is one point that doesn't appear on the list. 50 + 1 is a story about time, withdrawal, and the moment when someone crosses their own boundaries - even when they know the cost. Not every love saves you. And not every ending means closure.

    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.

    Some love stories don't begin with longing. They begin with damage. Zehra has learned how to stay quiet in a world that mistakes gentleness for permission. She teaches children by day and carries her own unsaid truths by night-believing that care, when given freely, should never demand anything in return. Ayaan has spent his life believing control is the same as protection. He is disciplined, respected, and deeply unaware of the ways silence can wound. When his carefully built certainty begins to crack, jealousy takes a shape he does not recognize-and cannot justify. Zayn watches more than he speaks. A photographer drawn to in-between moments, he understands that safety is not loud, love is not urgent, and staying can be an act of courage. At the center of them all is a child who learns too early that love can be overwhelming-and sometimes something you want to escape. This is a slow-burn, emotionally layered dark romance about boundaries, manipulation disguised as concern, jealousy that arrives uninvited, and the quiet difference between intensity and safety. Not every triangle is about choosing between two people. Sometimes, it's about choosing who you become.

    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.

    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.

    This is not a love story. This is a survival story. A healing story. A story for the ones who never said it out loud, but always felt it too deeply. If you're one of them - welcome home. She was never just "quiet." She was a wildfire trapped inside a diary- folded thoughts, stitched lips, and a voice too afraid to echo. Everyone admired her strength. No one saw the weight. This isn't a love story. It's the journey of a girl who bled her truth into poems, masked her pain behind metaphors, and slowly... gently... learned how to un-silence herself. If you've ever felt too much, cared too deeply, or hidden too long- this is your story too.

Reader discretion is advised. After decades of war, peace has returned to Vareth-except for the weapons that won it. Noctan, a former Echo forged for battle, now lives quietly in a forest clearing, shunned by the villagers he once protected. When Oren, a curious young man from the nearby village, begins to visit, Noctan experiences something new: acceptance. Maybe even friendship. But history cannot be rewritten overnight, and one haunting story is all it takes to ruin everything. When Oren is brutalized by those meant to protect him, Noctan must decide how far he's willing to go to defend the one person who saw him as more than a monster. A bittersweet tale of quiet healing, buried violence, and the long road toward redemption. He was made for war. But now, he chooses who he fights for.
