6x featured | When his crush kills herself in front of him, Diego ends up back in time in order to confess his love for her. A second chance, a possibility to start their love story all over again. But will he be able to save her from the clutches of death this time? --- They were always meant to be like the X and Y axis of a graph that intersected only at one point, the origin. Their destiny was written - together for one moment and never supposed to meet again. But who knew, the Y axis would get so adamant and try to coincide itself with the X axis for togetherness till infinity, that he wouldn't even realize how this would put all other lines out of place and make the graph paper nothing but a green checkered page with scattered, meaningless lines?

Epoch of Silence: Tenebris
In the vast, uncharted expanse of the cosmos, there exists a living, breathing entity - the universe itself. A body of unimaginable scale, where the stars are its skin, galaxies its veins, and black holes its entrails. But what happens when this colossal being succumbs to a mysterious infection, twisting its organs and altering the very fabric of its existence? Epoch of Silence: Tenebris is a visceral journey into the heart of this cosmic body, where the balance of life and death is not just an abstract force, but a matter of physical pain and transformation. As the universe's suns flicker, its heart begins to falter, and its entrails-its magnetic fields, black holes, and gravitational waves-turn hostile, warping space-time itself. The infection spreads, a creeping malevolent force that twists celestial bodies into grotesque mutations, causing planets to bloat and shrink, stars to burn erratically, and entire galaxies to collapse into nothingness. From the first eerie signs of corruption to the ultimate decision to purge all life within, the universe's consciousness awakens to the horrifying truth: healing can only come through destruction. As it begins the agonizing process of expelling all life-human, extraterrestrial, and cosmic-the universe must face the darkest, most painful choice of all: to purge its body, knowing that there will be no survivors. Through the eyes of its cosmic gods, guardians, and inhabitants, Epoch of Silence: Tenebris reveals the universe's struggle to survive, and the devastating cost of renewal. In a world where life is but a fleeting moment in the grand cycle of existence, there is no escape from the eternal rhythm of birth, decay, and rebirth. This haunting, philosophical body-horror tale invites readers to witness the cycle of creation and destruction as it plays out on the grandest scale. With visceral prose and a relentless pace, Epoch of Silence: Tenebris will leave you questioning the very nature of life, death.Complete![basorexia || matt daddario au [completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/62920904-256-k138891.jpg)

Everything that happened since September
Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful ownersComplete
Dawn of the Epoch
Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.comComplete
