Sam--short for Samantha, if you please--has been living in Crawley, Maine for about a year in her grandfather's lighthouse. A promising advertiser, she works from home and the local coffee shop, where she gets her daily hot chocolate fix. For her, life is perfectly normal and that's just the way she likes it. That is, until she picks up a stranger's coat, and then everything changes.

Once Upon A Selkie
On the run, Willow stumbles into a bandit ambush and is rescued by a lone traveler. He reluctantly agrees to help protect her on the forest paths if she can guide him to his destination. His distant demeanor suddenly changes after she returns his cloak, not realizing he is a selkie, nor aware that if someone returns a selkie's cloak, the selkie falls in love with them. As they travel, she discovers that he's everything she ever wanted in a husband, but learns that it comes at a cost - and that cost is his freedom. Note: If you're looking for a typical lore-based selkie story, I'm afraid you won't find it here. But if you're looking for a hopeful selkie and an uninformed human, then you have come to the right place. ONC 2025 awards: Ambassador's pick award, Round 2 winner, and Short List award. Based on the Open Novella Contest prompt #110: "20 days of freedom." Cover was made with incredible patience by: SayWatt74 (Cardin Watts)Complete

And Then I Saw You Again
Santa Pongsapak was 23 when he fell in love for the first time not with someone his powerful family approved of, but with a bright, stubborn engineer named Perth who made Santa laugh in the middle of his chaotic internship shifts. Their love was unexpected, chaotic, and unforgettable. And despite warnings, threats, and the weight of expectations, Santa married him. But love wasn't enough. Painful misunderstandings pulled them in opposite directions, until all that remained was distance... and a heartbreaking separation. They weren't supposed to cross paths again. But they did..five years later. And when they did, everything came rushing back with them. The love. The care. The laughter they once shared in stolen midnight hours. The late-night banters that slowly turned into early morning arguments. The quiet comfort of standing side by side... that eventually twisted into the sharp bitterness of blame. The understanding that once held them together faded into silence. And in that silence, misunderstandings grew like thorns. Time changed them. The one who used to light up every room with laughter now hides behind walls of cold silence. The one who once brought peace now burns with a fire he can't put out. They've become strangers with familiar eyes shaped by years, scarred by silence, hardened by the weight of everything they never said. And yet... There's still a part of them quiet, stubborn, and aching that refuses to let go. That part still remembers the softness. Still clings to the warmth. Still hopes... even when everything else has turned to ash. Tropes: Second Chance Romance CEO x Doctor Angst Protective love marriageComplete
