Virtue [NEW]
I didn't come here to make friends. I came to the academy to start a war. Luxbridge Academy isn't what they all think it is: a prestigious school created to right the wrongs of troubled kids. It's built to turn people like me into weapons-cold, obedient, deadly. And I was ready for that. What I wasn't ready for was him. My rival. My roommate. My biggest mistake. He's reckless, infuriating, impossible to ignore, and the one person I can't afford to distract me. But in a place where pain is currency and loyalty gets you killed, he became my only real ally. We were never meant to trust each other. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But we did. We escaped the cage. We thought that was the end. It wasn't. Because fate doesn't break the rules. It breaks you.

Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete
twisted beautiful things
The leaves hadn't even turned brown before the first suicide of the year. At St. Briar's University, the stakes are so high that at least one suicide is expected. In a world full of privilege and royalty, poison and snakes, students are expected to remain as close to perfect as possible-or else. One particular suicide sets off a chain reaction of ghostly events in the students' lives, forcing the students to choose between love and survival. Ugly secrets are uncovered and pretty lies are told, weaving a story in which everyone only cares about image, perfection, money, the social hierarchy, and status. Smile and you will be rewarded, lie and you will be praised. the car a person drives, the clothes they wear, the way they speak, act and breathe determines their worth in society-and everyone wants to be worth more than anybody else. >>> ""Somewhere along the long twisted road we fell off the path and spiraled into beautiful madness.."Complete
Behind The Veil
When Sadie Wren crosses a shimmering portal into the fae realm, she becomes the first human ever admitted to the University of Magical Studies - a place of beauty, danger, and secrets that hum beneath every spell. Among rival Courts and unreadable princes, she must learn to control a magic that shouldn't exist and survive a world built on illusion. But the deeper she studies, the more the mirrors whisper, and the more she suspects that nothing in Averiel - not power, not friendship, not even herself - is what it seems. Because some reflections remember what the world wants to forget.
Nightwell Academy.
In a world where ancient covens divide the gifted into houses of fire, shadow, storm, and moonlight, one academy guards secrets as old as magic itself. Every student carries a legacy-some forged in loyalty, others in betrayal. Beneath candlelit halls and beneath the watchful gaze of the sigils, power is more than spells; it is blood, it is destiny, it is temptation. But when old rivalries stir and whispers of a broken pact echo through the corridors, the line between friend and enemy blurs. Bonds will be tested, hearts will be claimed, and every choice will draw them closer to a fate written long before they arrived.Complete
Little Secrets (Drarry)
Enemies, Friends, Lovers Harry never knew those three words could be synonymous, but his sixth year at Hogwarts has challenged everything he has come to know. Draco Malfoy , who Harry had loathed for five years, is now progressively preoccupying his every thought. Harry doesn't know why his mind keeps creeping into these forbidden fantasies, but he knows it needs to stop. Because if there were ever a time appropriate for Harry to fall for Draco Malfoy, it certainly wasn't when the wizarding world was crumbling to pieces. Note: I wrote this when I was twelve, sorry for the poor writing :)Complete
Heartbreak Warfare
"You know what I think?" Harry leaned across the table. "I think you're afraid. You don't take risks like us Gryffindors." He scoffed. "Please, you Gryffindors are all wand-waving and no spell." Harry grinned, settling back into his seat. "Not me. I always follow through." "Prove it." Harry stood up and walked around the table. He leaned over Draco, one hand no his chair and the other on the table. Their faces were a mere inch apart, so close that Draco could see flecks of brown in his emerald eyes. "I don't see any follow-through," Draco taunted. And then Harry kissed him. Harry's hands fell to his shoulders so quickly that Draco teetered on his seat. Draco reached up and grabbed Harry's shirt in an attempt to catch his balance which resulted in the two boys falling to the ground with Harry on top. Harry's cheeks were red with embarrassment as he tried to get up. All he managed to do was knee Draco in the leg. Draco put his hands on Harry's hips. "Stop. Let me." In one fluid motion, Draco flipped them around so he was kneeling above Harry. "And for future reference," Draco smirked, bringing his lips down to brush against his. "I'm always on top."Complete
How to Kiss a Wizard
"You know what Potter... I think I'll take that offer," Draco began, walking closer towards me, backing me against the wall. "Wait, really?" I looked at him suspiciously. This was the boy who had hated me ever since I declined his handshake when we were 11... and now he was agreeing to help me. Something was up. "Yes Potter. Really. You said you'd do anything and anything means everything doesn't it?" I wanted to interrupt him there, I didn't mean everything, I opened my mouth to disagree but he carried on talking, not giving me a chance to answer. " I can use it to my advantage in the future. Who knows when I'll need it?" A smirk appeared on his lips as he eyed me up and down. I felt naked under his glance as I looked at anywhere except his face. Regret filled me once again. Maybe this wasn't the best plan, maybe I could back out now, and maybe I could just- My thoughts went blank as I felt a pair of soft lips collide with mine. Harry Potter could be considered good at everything.... except kissing. When he finds himself crushing on Ginny, who better to teach him the arts of kissing than the Draco Malfoy?
