"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.

8 parts Complete Mature
Combined with a bunch of storylines from my other stories Let me know if it sounds too familiar or boring. This is G!P story Skip it if not your cup of tea. In the glittering world of Bangkok's elite, I've always had everything money could buy. Except her- Earn Phongphiphat. Golden hair cascading like a waterfall. Silk dresses that cling to her every curve. Lips sculpted by angels but forged by the devil to torment me. She's perfection wrapped in venom. And she's also the daughter of my most ruthless rival, Phuthares Phongphiphat. She loathes me for everything I am-ruthless, ambitious, unapologetic. I despise her for being the pampered, privileged princess Phuthares raised to perfection. But life has a cruel sense of irony. When Phuthares Phongphiphat-the man I've spent my life trying to outwit-ends up in a coma, his empire falls into her inexperienced hands. Sweet Earn, clueless in a sea of predators, has no choice but to turn to me. For her, it's about survival in a world she doesn't understand. For me, it's the chance I've been waiting for-to claim not just her empire, but her body and soul. I propose a deal: my mentorship in exchange for her surrender. I'll teach her everything about business-while she warms my bed. She knows better than to trust someone like me. And I've never wanted anything beyond her body. Love is a game neither of us intends to play. But as the lines between teacher and student blur, as hate twists into desire and desire burn into something deeper, we find ourselves caught in a dangerous game.

18+ ONLY. This story contains mature themes and explicit smut. Read at your own risk. Contentedly single and successful at 30, Lingling has built her perfect life after overcoming hardship. Marriage? No thanks. Dating? A nuisance her meddling best friends keep forcing on her (as she's the only single person left in her group of friends). She just wants to support them, especially Lookmhee on her wedding day. But fate-and maybe Lookmhee-has other plans, leading to a clumsy bouquet standoff with a captivating ash-blonde woman. Lingling thinks she's escaped the matchmaking trap, only to agree to babysit Lookmhee's cousin... who turns out to be the very same woman she accidentally fought over flowers with. Maybe fate, and her best friends, know best after all? A/N: So, I began writing this story while in Thailand last week. It's my first trip out of the country (where I'm residing) and I was writing this because I was a bit disappointed when I couldn't see any LingOrm billboard ads during my first day (only saw one, the Ichitan one in Chiangmai and it was my last day) 🤧 So yeah, to make myself better, I wrote this out of nowhere but it's still unfinished...though I plan to continue writing this but no idea how this story will turn out. The story is typical but yeah I was needing distraction at that moment so I didn't really care. Anyway, I should prolly stop being a silent fan and meet other JKRs so I knew where to spot LingOrm ads the next time I'll travel back to Thailand HAHA.
In Love with my Professor✔️ (Natsu X Reader)  by MissKrystalDragneel
24 parts Complete Mature
A Love story between a college student and her Professor In the story you are a woman who has decided to try going to college again. It's always been difficult since your husband in the story is a greedy, selfish and manipulative jerk that doesn't want you to succeed because he knows you will be amazing at whatever you do. You quickly make friends with your English Professor and after learning about what's going on at him he decides to help you. But that act of caring and compassion sends your husband over the deep end and starts beating you. How will your professor act? How does he fall for you? What happens with the abusive husband? You'll have to read to find out. I'm using myself as the model for the main character simply because I believe myself to be a relatable person. When I did go to college there were a lot of older people there and it's easy to get caught up in a romance that involves adults. Here's a little fantasy, made up, never gonna happen in real life love story that's more for teens/young adults/ adults since it involves college. I decided to make it college so there isn't really a age issue since both parties will be adults. DON'T JUDGE ME! This book is just for fun and has nothing to do with real life. *****There will be adult themes! Meaning swearing, fighting, abuse and sex! Read at your own discretion!!**** **Disclaimer** I claim no rights to fairy tail, it's characters or any part of it.

COMPLETE ⚠️ This is a fictional story. ⚠️ All characters are fictional, their opinions and actions are in no way real, or related to the real world. ⚠️ This story contains mature themes. ⚠️ Mature themes such as violence, harassment, self-harm, suicide-attempts, sex, alcohol- and drug-abuse. ⚠️ Read with caution! ⚠️ I will not post warnings on the chapters containing mature themes. This is your only warning. 🔪 "You're so damn gorgeous, Ives," he says, and leans up to meet my lips again. He's the one that's gorgeous, and I feel myself completely loose myself once again. His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college. She is trying her best to put her past behind her, but it keeps coming back to haunt her. In this book we get to know Ives and her new friends as she struggles with her newfound freedom. (This is the first book in the Life series.)

*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."

The Princess's Pick

31 parts Complete Mature

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
