You think of a friend, you usually think of a person. A human being. Someone you meet along the way through a journey called Life. But imaginary friends are a mental construct in your mind, created for company? for fun? for childhood. And usually it stays there. But for Elise that wasn't the case. 
  
   At the young age of five she had an imaginary friend named Brayden. A companion to a young girl who needed it. Eight years later when common sense and knowledge had been knocked into her, the very thought of imaginary friends had been discarded. Too childish withthe events of a teenager's life becoming much more prioritized. 
  
  But is there a restoration of faith when he returns? When he tells Elise that he was no imagination? Learning of Brayden's helpless situation she wanted to prove to the world that he did exist. That he deserved the recognition he hadn't been receiving... yet.

Experiment X by bjorghalla
7 parts Ongoing Mature
In a future where science has unlocked secrets once thought impossible, Earth's most ambitious project is an experiment shrouded in mystery-and ethical gray areas. Dr. Aria Voss, a brilliant geneticist with a mind like no other, is brought in to study an extraordinary alien specimen. She's a woman of science, grounded in logic and precision, yet challenged by the world's view of her autism, which has isolated her from colleagues and any real connections. But her work offers her purpose and control in a life that often feels anything but. Her newest subject, known only as "Specimen X," is like nothing Aria has ever encountered. With a striking humanoid form marked by bioluminescent skin, intricate markings, and eyes that seem to hold a universe of secrets, he is a being from a world humanity can barely imagine. But as she delves deeper into her study, Aria begins to suspect that he is far more than just a research subject. Underneath the cold detachment of the laboratory, there's a fierce intelligence-and a sorrow that resonates with her own. As Aria uncovers the dark truths hidden within her organization, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to science and her growing empathy for the alien who has become her closest ally. When she learns of a sinister agenda threatening not only his survival but also her own, Aria must choose: stay silent and remain complicit, or risk everything to set them both free. Experiment X is a tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to break free of society's bounds, even if it means defying the very foundations of science and humanity.

It contains romance storylines but there are a lot of other kinds of relationships represented. Most of the characters in the series are queer, including the main character who is ace. The worldbuilding includes vampires, immortals, and magic, with my personal twist on the lore. There is definitely drama in the story but also a lot of fluff. *** TW : violence, grief, addiction.
