Lost Potential & Broken Dreams
**The story will be updated every Sunday** In a kingdom ruled by fear, Kelsey and Henry have only ever had each other. Bound by tragedy since childhood and raised under the oppressive reign of the ruthless Queen Mary, they're celebrated as heroes destined to end war and suffering. Yet the same queen who praises them also tightly controls their rare and powerful magic, forcing them into impossible rules like never breaking eye contact, even in the heat of battle. As tensions rise within their kingdom, whispers of betrayal spread beneath smiles and celebrations. When Lila, Kelsey's gentle and trusted handmaiden, succumbs to a dark promise and commits an unthinkable act. Left reeling and betrayed, Kelsey must navigate a twisted web of deceit, where allies become enemies, secrets threaten to destroy everything she holds dear, and the line between hero and villain blurs dangerously. In a realm built on lies, trust can be fatal. As darkness closes in, will Kelsey uncover the strength hidden within, or will she lose herself to the very deceptions she once trusted? This is my first story, and this is the first draft of it, so please be kind. I will edit it as I write more. **The story will be updated every Sunday**

Sans Cesse
"I don't know if I loved him or survived him. Maybe it's the same thing" He set fire to the world but never let a flame touch her. Aria is an English philosophy student chasing reinvention in Paris; a city romanticised by poets, but cruel to the lonely. Behind her sharp tongue and steady stare, is a woman shaped by absence and aching for intensity, connection, purpose. Tired of running, but terrified of staying still. She tells herself she's cold. She tells herself she's untouchable. Harrison is brilliant, sharp, unknowable. The kind of man who disappears mid-sentence, who walks like he's carrying sins he'll never confess. You don't fall in love with Harrison, you fall into him. With a past soaked in violence and a heart barricaded by guilt, he lives in exile from the world, and from himself. The last thing he ever wanted was to be seen. Drawn together by fate, or fatal flaw, they orbit one another like lit matches and gasoline. It isn't love, not yet. It's something more dangerous: recognition. And when the flame becomes a fire, who will get burnt? This isn't their story, it's yours. You've been here, haven't you? Where love feels like war, and silence is a kind of violence. Where you knew it would break you, and you still begged for more. Read on, if you're brave enough to feel yourself burn.
Silence And Honey
Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

The Four
There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.Compleet
The Sun-Eater Court
In a palace built on the bones of a dying sun, the nobility dine on light while the world beyond their walls freezes to death. Solenne is a servant in the House of the Sun-Eater, one of countless nameless hands who scrub the gold from plates and feed the furnaces that keep the chains glowing. Each feast drains another drop of the chained sun's brilliance-fuel for the nobles' veins, warmth for their hollow hearts. To serve is to survive. To speak is to vanish. But when Solenne steals a single drop of the light and uses it to save a starving child beyond the palace gates, something inside her burns awake. The light does not forgive theft-and the chains that hold the sun begin to stir. As the court hungers for more and the city rots beneath its shadow, Solenne learns the truth of the feasts. And the world is unraveling one gilded goblet at a time. Haunted by the quiet hum of the chains, Solenne must decide whether to keep her place among the unseen-or become the spark that sets the whole palace alight.
