A Big Book of Short Stories by WGHTheKing

A collection of my ideas. While most could have been cared for and nurtured until they grew into fully fledged books, they have only matured halfway, creating a efficient way to get stuck in your head. I'll also post short stories that I may or may not try turning into novels. From "The Kid is Hot Tonight," a story about such topics as high school parties and domestic abuse. To "Just Another Nightmare," a story about a kind of hell you might never have thought of. This collection will likely make you question if something is wrong with me. Spoiler alert; there is. It will also show you the farthest reaches of the world and the furthest horrors that I can write about. If you want an update on how the next story is coming along, you can ask me however you want. Seriously I'm so so lonely...

THE THING CALLED DESIRE by bethski_117

What is love but a force both tender and cruel-a dance of chance, destiny, and choice? Two souls collide, each burdened by their commitments, and yet, in the quiet spaces between their worlds, they find something profoundly real. Why does fate play its tricks, allowing them to meet when their lives are no longer truly their own? Is it a lesson, or simply a twist of cosmic irony? Love, as it binds hearts, often defies the confines of time and circumstance. Millions walk through life in the shadows of unhappy relationships-some clinging to vows made in hope, others longing for what they were told love could be. But love is more than a promise. It's a heartbeat, an energy that knows no boundary, no distance, no logic. It appears unbidden, from unexpected places-a fleeting moment, a stolen glance that awakens the soul. And yet, the story grows richer when those who are bound grapple with the unanswerable: Do you stay where duty lies, where history holds you? Or do you dare to chase what your heart cries for, even at great cost? These choices reverberate not just in the lives of those longing but ripple outward, affecting families, communities, and even generations. The names in this story are purely fictitious, existing only within the realm of imagination. They are vessels for exploring universal emotions and experiences, allowing the characters to embody roles that feel genuine and untethered from reality. These imagined lives create a canvas for their struggles, triumphs, and connections-a heartbeat that resonates only within the story's world.

Little Lies | Adrien A. x Fem!Reader x Male! Marinette D. by YaSi666

The Chinese folklore is about a magical connection between two people that are destined to be soulmates, called 'the red string of fate'. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The red string of fate is what most people in life see, it makes a clear path to the one you are destined to be with for the rest of your life. Although there are outliers who never see the beautiful color of red tied to their fingers. Instead these outliers have a harder thing to see such as their names written on each other's bodies, the first words they say to each other, seeing color after meeting, a unique tattoo they both share, a timer, and even more that hasn't been experimented with. ~~~~~ I'm trapped in a bus. And yet, I think the worst thing is that I think I fell in love with fictional characters at first sight.

String of Fate by Lalexandrax

Everyone has a soulmate, right? Sure, they're just really difficult to find. It'd be a lot easier to find them when you have a string to guide the way, but what if you don't find who you're expecting? What if your perfect partner is the person who's bullied you for as long as you can remember? Or someone you've never even met? What if you can't even marry them because you're already promised to someone else? Enjoy a collection of short stories that will make you believe in destiny... or is it fate?

Finding my Leelen [completed] by AlmaaaGgg

I'm weak and broken, tormented by monsters that keep reaching for me, touching my body, hurting me, living marks on my skin and soul. I don't know how it feels to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night sweating, incapable of defending myself, too afraid to scream for help. Until I meet him. He is strong enough to cast away the nightmares, to fight my demons scaring them away, to erase my scars with his tender touch. He teaches me to fight back, to be strong, to scream for help because now there is someone always coming to my rescue. Because now I have someone who loves me. Now I have him, my beautiful warrior, my soulmate, my leelen. We might not have met like normal people would, but again we are not normal and we are definitely not people. Even so our bond is stronger than anything and anyone. But finding my leelan is not the end of my story, it's just the beginning...
