When The Lights Went Out, écrit par shaiaiaia

A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.

YGGDRASIL: The First Forgotten Tale, écrit par snowashea

They say, "Expect the unexpected." But no one warned them that the unexpected could rewrite fate itself. She is the Lock...quiet, guarded, and haunted by dreams she can't explain. He is the Key...reckless, drawn to her by something ancient and unspoken. Neither of them remembers where they came from. But the Tree of Life...Yggdrasil...remembers. Born from its roots, their existence was never meant to cross. Now that it has, the world begins to change: Magic awakens, truths unravel, and a forgotten revolution stirs beneath their feet. A dream that won't fade. A connection that can't be denied. And a prophecy that begins the moment they meet. "When the lock finds its key... the world changes."

The Price of Innocence, écrit par TshepisoTsona4

"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

The Book of Adventures [EDITING SOON], écrit par wysiwygarchives

A child on the brink of death, and when faced with Death herself, the child just couldn't bear it and he begged. "Lady... Can you please end my suffering?" The lady in velvet cloak looked down at him, confused. 'Why does this human asks for his death? Doesn't he want to live and take revenge on those who have hurted him?' She thought. His peculiarity piqued her interest. And instead of taking the child's life like how he wishes, the lady in velvet cloak took him in. Will life blossom fondly to the child after being abandoned by his family? Will the lady even understand the meaning of life for others? Or will they end up being fond of one another?

Inside the walls of a women's shelter, she learns what survival really means-friendship, strength, and a voice she thought she lost forever.

A raw and empowering short story about loss, survival, and the courage to rise again.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀, écrit par _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
