After losing her twin brother to a car accident the summer before their first year of college, Elin has been trying to mend the shattered pieces of her heart ever since. To escape from the pain and loneliness, Elin lets her imagination run wild, exploring places she never thought possible through the intelligent, compassionate, and fearless minds of the four young women she created with her thoughts alone. When these figments of imagination are miraculously brought to life, Elin embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to finally learn what it means to let go and trust once more.
---------------------------------------------
These girls are everything to me, because they are me. Each represents something hidden and forgotten in the wake of grief, only to be resurfaced again by my mind.
My beautiful mind.
A mind that I only just learned has given me a precious gift that represents my very being, a precious gift that could make life worth living, a precious gift that others can't take away from me no matter how hard they try.
A wary, faint smile slowly turns my lips upwards and I turn around to face the girls. Cordelia notices the change in my behavior and grins.

Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice. I'm so grateful!Completa
Beneath the Ash
Rheanyra Silvarra has always known what it means to survive. Born to a disgraced noble house and branded a rebellion relic before she could walk, she's spent her life training in the shadows, carrying the ghosts of Aretia and the weight of a past no one dares speak of. At Basgiath War College, she's not just another first-year crossing the Parapet-she's a threat. And everyone knows it. Especially Xaden Riorson. They've known each other too long, fought side by side in silence, and now face each other across squad lines with carefully constructed masks. Their hatred is a language only they speak-a shield against the danger of letting anyone too close. Because walls are safer than attachments. Safer than hope. Thrown into Fourth Wing under Xaden's command, Nyra finds herself surrounded by enemies, allies she doesn't trust, and a squad that's as fractured as her heart. With every glance, Xaden dares her to fall back. With every order, he reminds her who holds power. But she didn't survive the slaughter of Aretia to be silenced. As dragons descend and the deadly crucible of Basgiath begins, Nyra must face not only the dangers of Threshing and the brutal hierarchy of the Riders Quadrant, but the truth she's buried for years. Because war is coming. Secrets are stirring. And for rebellion kids like Nyra and Xaden? Survival was only the beginning. XadenXoc
Who Rules the World
"Hey. I saw you at the field. Nice goal." -two kids at a cafeteria table, laughing over nothing, never knowing they were setting the stage for everything. Through war and fire, through winnings that feel like lossing and sacrifices that taste like betrayal, they fight. Not just the world, but each other. Because friendship wounds just as deeply as love. Because giving until there's nothing left hurts just as much as losing it all. Because trusting too much-leaning too hard-can break a man more than standing alone ever could. But still, they stand. Even when their hearts splinter under the weight of loyalty. Even when anger and grief turn them into something unrecognizable. Even when history turns into fire and the world tells them to let go. "Don't blame me, baby. Love makes me crazy." An empire fell. And when the final choice comes-when the world asks for their surrender-they give their answer the only way they know how. "Hey." "Hey yourself." " I say we burn it all down. You?" "I say we go for it."
Zordania
"Feel that?" My breath brushed against her ear. "That burning power, running through your veins like molten lava?" She shuddered. Her hands trembled. "Don't fight it," I continued, voice steady, coaxing. "Welcome it. Let it blaze. You can own it; you can control it." Her breath hitched as the flames surged in her palms, crackling with untamed energy. Her fingers twitched as though they ached to let loose. But I wasn't done. Slowly, I reached out and took her hands, without pausing to think about the damage her fire could do to me. The instant my skin met hers, a shock ran through my body and my element surged through me without warning. Ice surged from my veins, creeping over my forearms, sliding down to meet her flames. Steam hissed where our elements collided, twirling in the air between us in a slow, mesmerizing dance. Our breathing was ragged, our bodies still pressed close. Her eyes locked onto mine, something unspoken passing between us. Elianna Faith, 24, has just graduated from college and is ready to start her life as an independent woman in her new apartment. But destiny has other plans. In a sudden twist of fate, Elianna is whisked away to a vast, mysterious mansion, where five enigmatic strangers and a wise old sensei await. Chosen to wield a fragment of a fallen queen's magic, she must decide whether to embrace her destiny, or turn away. Can Elianna rise to the challenges ahead, navigate the dangers of war, and uncover the mysteries of love and power? Join her on a thrilling journey through the magical world of Zordania, where nothing is as it seems, and everything is at stake.Completa
Boundlight - Liam Mairi

They bled, they broke, they destroyed. Fainne warned me that feeling too much could shatter even the strongest rider. And yet, when his hand brushed mine, when his presence steadied the chaos inside me, I craved more. More of his fire. More of his light. Even if it meant I'd burn. - A Liam Mairi x OC fanfiction. Friends to lovers. Angst. Slow burns. !DISCLAIMER! All characters (apart for the OC) belong to Rebecca Yarros
