    They say college is where you find yourself. I think I'm just getting lost. Kush Khanna never expected much from college-just a degree, a decent job, and a quiet life.

And a girl he keeps running into-Tara, who hides more than just her name. One late bus ride changes everything. What starts as an ordinary first year spirals into a tangled web of ambition, hidden agendas, and emotions Kush never wanted to deal with.

    When lightning splits the sky, two boys collapse across continents-Rayyan in war-torn Gaza, Yousef in the slums of Dhaka-and wake in each other's bodies. Dropped into chaos with no warning and no way back, survival becomes their only language. Rayyan must navigate a city under siege, hunted by drones and haunted by secrets. Yousef faces hunger, violence, and a past he doesn't understand. Every moment alive is earned-through lies, instinct, and sacrifice. But surviving is not enough. As they claw their way into power, uncover buried truths, and make enemies who never forget, both begin to question who they are... and what they're becoming. With the world watching and war looming, their choices will ignite revolutions-or burn them both alive. This is a story of survival first. Everything after is fire.

    What does a man owe the thing he made and abandoned? Averic Merrow was once the kingdom's most feared alchemist, crafting living weapons from flesh and metal. But after the war ended in horror, he vanished into exile. Years later, the Crown demands one last creation to end a new war. Instead of a monster, Averic builds something else: Lio, a strange, self-aware homunculus who dreams, writes poetry, and refuses to kill. Now hunted by the Crown, Averic and Lio flee across war-ravaged lands, pursued by his former apprentice, haunted by the ethics of creation, and drawn toward a lost laboratory that may hold the secret to true autonomy. But the question remains: If you give something life, can you choose what it becomes? A dark, philosophical fantasy about fathers and monsters, will and obedience, and the price of creating something that thinks for itself.

    A fanfiction reimagining of Benedict Bridgerton's story from An Offer from a Gentleman Sophie Beckett has carved a life for herself in the countryside-quiet, creative, and finally her own. But when her father dies, she is summoned to London not as herself, but as the name she thought she had shed: Sebastian, the heir to an earldom that never belonged to her soul. In the glittering world of debutantes and duty, Sophie is forced to navigate society's expectations while hiding in plain sight. And then she meets Benedict Bridgerton. What begins as a friendship rooted in shared artistic longing soon becomes something deeper-and far more dangerous. Benedict sees not just Sebastian, but the woman Sophie has always been. Loving her could cost them both everything. Becoming Sophie is a gender-expansive retelling of Benedict's story-a tender romance about identity, longing, and what it means to live as a trans woman in a world that has no name for who she is... but might, if she's brave enough, learn to see her.

    Simón doesn't speak in declarations. He speaks in glances, in pauses, in stickers that arrive instead of explanations. This isn't a love story - it's a reflection. Of presence over promises. Of closeness without clarity. Of the quiet between two people who almost reached each other. Told through fragments and silences, Simón, the Unsent Letter is a portrait of what remains when nothing is said... but something is felt.
