    Asher was five years old when his world shattered-and the only one who held it together was a man he was never supposed to love. Raised in near isolation by a charismatic, enigmatic father figure named Lucien, Asher grows up believing Lucien saved him. But Lucien isn't his real father. He's a man with secrets, a man who raised Asher with unconditional control rather than unconditional love. Now seventeen, Asher can't tell where admiration ends and obsession begins. His trauma, once buried, begins to surface-manifesting as nightmares, hallucinations, and increasingly erratic behavior. He sees Lucien not just as a protector, but as the only person who matters. The only person who's real. As Lucien begins to drift away-distracted by a new relationship, or perhaps burdened by guilt-Asher unravels. His devotion sharpens into something possessive. Violent. And as the line between protector and predator blurs, both Asher and Lucien must confront a terrifying truth: What happens when love becomes a cage-and obsession becomes the key?

    Randomly updated, dont be suprised if i disappear for a month lmao 🤷 It's a teacher × student, Tom riddle story. be grateful Most impressive Rankings: #17 in Theodore Nott Anabella Weasley has always felt out of place-even in the magical world she was born into. Faces linger too long, glances carry unspoken recognition, and memories seem to echo across lifetimes. Returning to Hogwarts for another year, Ana is drawn into the familiar rhythms of school, but the quiet, strange moments tug at her mind: her mother's lingering looks, fleeting glances from people who seem to see more than just her, and the theory of being reborn that refuses to let go. In the library's hidden corners, Ana studies with her closest friends-Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore, and Luna-surrounded by scattered books, whispered jokes, and playful debates. They tease, they speculate, and they comfort each other, but Ana's thoughts drift to patterns she can't explain. Past lives, recognition, and connections beyond time haunt her quietly, shaping the way she sees the world. Between algebra, magical theory, and whispered confessions, Ana begins to notice the subtle threads that tie people-and perhaps lives-together. In a place as familiar as Hogwarts, where magic is everywhere but truths are hidden, Ana must navigate friendship, discovery, and the unsettling pull of recognition. Echoes Between Lives is a story of memory, identity, and the invisible bonds that shape us across time.

    A quiet life isn't always an empty one. The protagonist lives a routine existence shaped by habit, familiarity, and the unspoken assumption that tomorrow will look much like today. Work, conversations, places, and people repeat with comforting predictability - until small inconsistencies begin to surface. A misplaced memory. A conversation that feels rehearsed. A sense that the world no longer reacts quite the way it should. As these fractures accumulate, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell whether the problem lies within the mind or within reality itself. The story unfolds not through spectacle or catastrophe, but through absence - the subtle erosion of identity, presence, and personal significance. 'The Quiet Weight of Things' is an intimate, slow-burning exploration of what it means to exist in a world that may no longer need you to be who you are.
