"Two best friends, a trip through a mystical land, and a stranger that will change it all."

Trying to figure out if she chose the right career, dealing with a broken heart, keeping up with uni papers and work... That's already enough of a challenge that stresses out this 20 year old control-freak.

So add a whole bunch of family secrets, a trip overseas with her best friend, and some eerie flashbacks, and you get a hell of an adventure. 

[This is a new adult/magical realism novel] 

--------
FINISHED STORY! ! Aprox 100.000 words 

Warning: Contains coarse language, and non-explicit adult scenes.

NOTE: After writing this, I noticed a whole lot of problems in my own writing. There are issues I opened up in this tale because I wanted to dig deeper, and never did. I noticed my own internalized phobias when reading, and please, if anyone feels offended or triggered about any of it, call me out. I'm trying to do better. It might have bad rep or offensive content that I'm looking into. This story will be completely re-written once I figure some things out. Also, I know the culture explored in this book (maori culture) is not my own, but after living for many years in New Zealand, I feel that it's part of me, and by no means did I mean this to be offensive to anyone. I hope it's not. I intended this as a "tribute" to a culture that I found rich, enlightening, and that accepted me with open arms.All Rights Reserved

The Princess's Pick by romcom_enjoyer

Lingling Kwong is the East Kingdom's secret "Mad Dog". A battle mage who lives only for the thrill of the kill, known as a legend-the greatest swordmaster of all time. For a political alliance, she is forced to marry Princess Orm from the North, a woman as beautiful and ethereal as the first snow. Lingling's mother gives her a simple out: if you don't like your wife, you may kill her and come back. But upon meeting her, Lingling is shocked to find herself-the kingdom's most powerful warrior-being treated like a fragile piece of glass by her stunningly devoted wife. Will an unexpected romance bloom, or will the Mad Dog eventually kill the beautiful woman who smothers her? A/N: This is an adaptation to a manhwa I have read few years ago that somehow I forgot the name of the manhwa but the concept stayed in my head. With that, the concept of this story is based on that manhwa though every chapter and plot that would come is based on my delulu. Happy Reading! SLOW UPDATES!! Reason: Hard to write HAHAHAHA

Safe With You (Khun Bodyguard) by Bibimbapyes

Orm Kornnaphat isn't supposed to be a pop star. She's supposed to be preparing to take over Sethachon Co., Ltd., following the path her father has set-higher education abroad, a master's degree, and then stepping into the family business. But Orm has other plans. "Just one single," she begs. That single changes everything. She pours herself into it-writing the lyrics, directing the music video, making sure every detail is hers. When it's released, the world takes notice. The song becomes a phenomenon, and overnight, she isn't just the heir to a powerful corporation. She's Orm Kornnaphat, Thailand's biggest young star. Fame is thrilling, but it comes with a cost-endless scrutiny, obsessed fans, and the constant threat of danger. Her father doesn't take risks. He hires protection. Enter Ling Ling Kwong. Ling has spent years proving herself in the private security industry. She isn't just the heir to Kwong Securities-she's one of the best, combining business expertise with years of combat training. When her father assigns her to guard a pop star, she expects a spoiled client. She doesn't expect to recognize her. Because once upon a time, a little girl with big, teary eyes had clung to her, declaring, I want to marry you. Orm doesn't seem to remember. But Ling does. And as they're forced into each other's orbit, balancing fame, duty, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Ling starts to wonder-was she always meant to be the one keeping Orm safe? And if so, who will protect her from Orm?

Into the Velvet by help-me-think-of-one

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

Tea Time and Cookies: A (not so) Quiet Beginning by AlphaNyte

Life ended quietly. Rebirth? Not so much. I'd lived a perfectly normal nerd-life: a family, a career, too many hobbies, and a purse full of "just-in-case" items. Gardening, old crafting techniques, reading, manga, animé-especially the alternate-world kind. If I had one regret, it was not traveling as much as I'd wanted. But all things end eventually. I expected nothingness... or whatever reward awaited after a long, fulfilling life. Instead, I woke up to the very real problem of a massive creature trying to eat me. I'd been reborn into another world. I should have been thrilled, right? With very little to go on-aside from the fact that magic existed here-I decided the smartest approach was to keep a low profile and train like crazy. Survive first. Explore later. My new family seemed pleasantly surprised (and occasionally alarmed) by my dedication to both physical and magical training. And once I started attending school, I made fast friends... then accidentally convinced them to apprentice under my father. The more the merrier, I figured. But hiding my abilities is proving harder than expected, and the more I grow, the more certain people seem unsettled by my existence. Surviving to adulthood may be the real challenge. *This is a slow-burn, coming-of-age story with early magic training. It is not a romance-yet. **This series is marked Mature not for explicit content in this volume, but because later books will include heavier themes. I prefer to err on the side of caution. ***I am a Canadian author. English spelling follows Canadian usage. ****Note about the cover image and banners: The cover and banners were created with AI assistance in Canva.

Playing with Fire | LINGORM by Yjkr94

Orm didn't believe she could ever lose Lingling, until well, she realised she was about to lose Lingling. A story with some angst, some humor and lots of love. I'll try to throw in here as much as I can! The usual disclaimer for everyone who enjoys reading LingOrm fanfic: This story is not real!! Please, let's ship mindfully and let's attempt to stay out of the psych ward. There might be references to actual events/situations that happened in real life, but again, this is all fiction. In reality, our girls are best buddies and we love them as they are, right?! This is my first attempt to write a fanfic, so please provide some feedback, if you find it rubbish don't feel shy and tell me, I will stop the writing and go back to quietly shipping *mindfully* between work breaks. English is not my first language, so my apologies for any potential mistake. Peace and Love Purple Fandom Jokers :)

Elemental: The Luna Legend by xxMermaidNoonaxx

"A lot of people get cars and presents for their 18th Birthday. Me? I jumped into a pool to discover a world that shouldn't exist outside of a storybook." *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. A magical secret and a past she couldn't remember. When Kiara turned 18, her whole world turned upside down. With witches, werewolves, vampires, gods and goddesses, power, magic, faeries and soulmates; she traded her normal boring high school days for an adventure that spanned many lifetimes. When the humans waged a battle against the supernatural, the sacrifice of one Princess ended it, maybe this time Kiara will stop the war. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. -a/n- After almost 5 years I am back to complete this book. Thank you for everyone who took a chance on it and all the messages I got asking about the updates. Chapter 69 has a bit more backstory on why I stopped writing. But I've decided to continue to at least finish this story. Originally this story was supposed to be a 4 part series, but with how much time has passed I'll just leave it at this. I'm hoping to reach chapter 90 at the end of this book so if you're still here, thank you and I hope you enjoy. I'll be updating once a week, probably on Wednesday or Thursday. Sincerely FiFi(MissFineapple)

Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride... When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.

Blake 💀🖕 by iisbeissues_2018

"̷私はここの悪魔です Watashi wa koko no akumadesu. "̷ Original Title of Book: We, Twisted Ones Cover by: (myself) @iisbeissues_2017 Theme song; SIAMES- The Wolf\ SEKAI NO OWARI- [ANTI HERO] ××× "Are you scared of falling in love?" "I'm terrified because you'll be the only one falling." ××× Breaded by that of a demon's goal to become a god and the seven sins of mortals, not only was the gladiator of the cruel demon Beelzebub a monster of other's stories. But that of her own. Blake Blueray was born into the world of sin for one and one purpose only, and that was to bring fear to whomever opposed her master's wishes or her family's name. But there's a time in every girl's life where sometimes, you just gotta become a rebel. With the help of her best friend, a rather daunted nerd, and a good looking hotshot, will Blake be the demon's destruction? Or will she give him total control? |Some tags dealing with dark topics have been omitted in this listing for the sake of preserving dramatic tension. The story may or may not contain any descriptions of graphic violence. This story explores fear, torment, corruption, and loss of self identity. My focus here is on transformation through ascending cruelty. Please note that this story is more a vent for me than anything else, so it won't be updated very much.| I welcome feedback, especially constrctive criticism. Thanks for reading!

Always You. Unfortunately | LINGORM by Yjkr94

Ling finally tried committing to something other than her career, the gym routine and a rotating roster of flings. She proposed. Her girlfriend laughed. Apparently, Ling's "I'm not a relationship person" reputation is harder to shake than she thought. Especially when her *actual* longest relationship is with her best friend, Orm, and the tiny child who bosses her around and claims "she's ours." Originally posted on my AO3 account. --- The usual disclaimer: The characters are obviously inspired by LingOrm, and there might be references to real-life events, but the story is purely fictional. English is not my first language, so my apologies for any potential mistakes. If you want to say hi, I'm on X: @yjkr94_LO Peace and Love, JKRs :)
