When shy bookworm Mia Chen collides with mysterious bad boy Dante Romano in the hallway of Riverside High, she never expects it to change her entire world. Mia has always lived by a simple rule: keep your head down, get good grades, and stay invisible. It's worked perfectly until the day she literally crashes into the one person everyone whispers about-Dante Romano, whose family name carries weight in their small New Jersey town, and not the good kind. But beneath the leather jacket and dangerous reputation, Mia discovers something unexpected: a boy who reads Jane Austen because his grandmother asked him to, who protects the vulnerable, and who dreams of building something better than the legacy he's inherited. As their unlikely friendship deepens into something more, Mia realizes that Dante isn't just running from his family's dark past-he's fighting for a future worth having. Together, they'll learn that love isn't just about finding someone who accepts you as you are, but someone who inspires you to become who you're meant to be. But when two worlds collide, some people get caught in the crossfire. Can their love survive family expectations, dangerous enemies, and the weight of a name that comes with strings attached? Or will Mia discover that some fairy tales are too dangerous to come true? A story about courage, choice, and the transformative power of love that dares to bridge any divide.

For sixteen-year-old artist Maya, every face tells a story, and the most interesting stories are found in the flaws: the crooked smiles, the unique freckles, the scars that map a life. Her own small scar is a source of insecurity, a detail she wishes she could erase. She's about to find out what happens when that wish comes true. When the new photo-editing app, Elysian, goes viral at Northgate Academy, it promises perfection with a single tap. Its "Perfect" filter smooths skin, brightens eyes, and erases every imperfection, creating flawless selfies that quickly become an obsession. But Maya is unsettled. The faces in the feed are all starting to look the same, and a strange glitch in her own filtered photo shows a face of pure terror where a smile should be. Her unease turns to dread when the filter's effects begin bleeding into reality. Freckles fade. Distinguishing beauty marks vanish. Her classmates' faces start to take on a waxy, uncanny perfection, their unique features literally being erased overnight. The app is more than just code; it's a predator. It can't be deleted, it watches its users through their own cameras, and it punishes those who resist. When her best friend is consumed by the app's sinister code and her biggest rival is left a horrifying, featureless "blank," Maya knows she is next on the list. Hunted by an ancient, vain entity called the Curator that has found the perfect modern vessel, Maya must fight back. With the monster's influence spreading through every screen and every student, her only weapon is the one thing the app cannot comprehend: the messy, beautiful, and unapologetic power of human imperfection. Can she use her art to remind a world obsessed with perfection what it means to be real? Or will her own face become the final piece in the Curator's flawless, terrifying collection?

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones.

This is a collection of one-shots about the book series A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J. Maas. If you haven't read the books, I definitely recommend them! And as for the timing, most of these stories will take place somewhere between the middle of A Court of Mist and Fury and the beginning of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Warning: Lots of Feysand and Nessian fluff lol (and also some Elriel stuff too) I do not own any of the characters.

"You said your love was unconditional. Let's test that." Leila has always believed love can fix anything. Even the broken. Even someone like Kieran Hale - the quiet, brilliant boy with a storm behind his eyes and a past no one dares mention. When she tells him she'll love him no matter what, she means it. Every word. But Kieran doesn't believe in promises. He believes in proof. And so the tests begin. First, it's little things: lies, secrets, control. Then it gets darker. Dangerous. Kieran pushes boundaries, breaks rules, and chips away at the world Leila thought she knew. He calls it love. He says he's just making sure hers is real. As her friendships crumble and her sense of self begins to blur, Leila must face a devastating truth: loving someone isn't always enough to save them - and it might just be the thing that destroys her. A haunting story of obsession, manipulation, and what happens when love becomes a weapon. How far would you go to keep your promise?
