Though Mira was born a thief, she will have to learn what it means to steal, especially if it means stealing another's life.
Mira's fate was determined long before she was born. And when she drew her first breath, that fate was written on her skin in thick ink, a mark she can never remove. Thief.
That one word has guided her life for eighteen years, destroying friends and forming enemies. It is this word that threw her into the king's prison, condemning her to a life of killing for sport.
She has spent her life clawing at her ink-stained skin, seeking for a way to remove this curse from her tainted life. But some scars never heal, and some paths never waver. Mira may just find that this blight might actually be her greatest strength.
Some thieves are made, while others are born.

A regular student's life shatters when a desperate message from her sister pulls her into a chain of events that reveal the truth of her existence. Born with a curse that ties her to another world, she discovers powers beyond human understanding-tattoos of living shadow, a katana forged from her very soul, and immortality that defies death itself. But with power comes a promise: to protect her loved ones, no matter the cost. Drawn into a ruined kingdom once ruled by her family, she faces endless demons, ancient guardians, and the throne itself-the heart of her curse. Torn between her humanity, her angelic light, and her demonic blood, she must choose what kind of ruler she will become... or lose everything she swore to protect. At her side stands her girlfriend, who refuses to let her carry the burden alone, and her family, who remind her of the person she was before destiny claimed her. Together, they will face a world of shadows and fire, where love, sacrifice, and eternal promises are tested against fate itself.Complete![Soulmates (US!Papyrus x Reader) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/196445688-256-k872245.jpg)

The Reader and the Ink I (One shot) I ✔️
In a world where stories leave scars, love is the deepest wound of all. Readers are born cursed-unable to resist the pull of fiction, unable to distinguish the page from reality. Every novel they consume is lived in full: every heartbreak, every death, every betrayal etched into their body and soul as if it were their own. While Authors create pain with ink, Readers bleed for it. She is one such Reader-worn down by thousands of lives she never asked to live, hearts she never wanted to love, and endings she was forced to endure. He is an Author-cold, untouched, immune to emotion by design. Until he sees her. Until something cracks. When an unfinished manuscript draws them together, the impossible happens: he begins to feel. She begins to break. As their worlds collide, one finds purpose, the other seeks escape. But in a story built on imbalance-where one can only feel too much and the other nothing at all-love was never meant to save them. Only ruin them.Complete
