Draft preview of a story i need to currently write.
It is very different from my usual works.
Trigger warning: It involves the trauma suffered by a divorced woman from mental abuse during her marriage.
Although not directly depicted, it is talked about.
Simon, a 46 year old writer, moves into a new neighbourhood. When he untangles Tabitha, the 7 year old neighbour girl, he suspects all is not well with her and Vivianne, her 38 year old mother and highschool teacher.
When he becomes more aquinted with them over time, he learns from Vivianne about her abusive relationship and her loss of trust in men.
Despite this, they build a friendship over their mutual desire to no longer become romantically involved with someone.
When Vivianne's ex-husband keeps showing up and is twice chased away by Simon, he proposes to live together to take care of each other without any romantic strings attached and Vivianne reluctantly accepts because she no longer wants to see her daughter live in fear.

Lust for Power
About some guy, some magic, drama, bullying, puberty etc2 Sersly its about the internal conflicts alienation brings from being a bit different, about the corruption that strength or power brings, and the mess you could end up with when you lose control of emotions. Note: This is a story I wrote probably half a decade ago, as part of a competition a friend of mine coaxed me into joining, I wrote it up to chapter 1, but I fell in love with story and decided to continue writing it, i got stuck towards the end, then i was able to finish it a few years later, indirectly due to my lil sis who isn't really my lil sis anymore now, its a story i'll cover in something I call Blood & Water.Complete
Entangled Strings Of Fate
I grew up believing love was unbreakable. My parents adored each other with a devotion so deep it felt eternal-something even death couldn't touch. My childhood was sheltered, innocent, untouched by the darker truths of the world. I was wrong. Love doesn't always end gently. Sometimes it rots. Sometimes it turns obsessive, destructive-and leaves innocent people to suffer the consequences. I didn't choose to be caught in the aftermath of someone else's obsession, yet I pay the price every day. The answers I need remain buried beneath silence, control, and lies. I don't know if I can ever reclaim what was taken from me. I don't know who I can trust. And I don't know if the people I love are victims... or villains. But even after everything I've lost, I still cling to one fragile hope- That I'll find my way back to my family. That I'll survive long enough to uncover the truth. And that freedom is still possible.
And You Stayed...
She is not cold. She is tired. Ruth has spent so long surviving her own mind that loving someone feels like another responsibility she might fail. She pushes. She withdraws. She convinces herself she is protecting him. Dylan loves without knowing where to stop. He stays when it would be easier to leave. He calls it devotion. He does not realize it is slowly costing him pieces of himself. When honesty finally breaks through, love is no longer soft. It is heavy. It is breathless. It is two people trying not to drown while holding on to each other. "And You Stayed" is not about perfect romance. It is about what happens when love is real but oxygen is not. For readers who believe staying is sometimes harder than leaving.
For Elise
(TW) Please make sure to take into consideration that there are many triggering topics in this story such as depression, suicide, self-harm, abuse, rape and general signs of mental unwellness. There are also NSFW scenes. It is my duty as the author to let you know. If you are okay with all that, please I'd love it if you gave my story a read. Thank you so much :3 . . . Elise is a seventeen year old girl. She has always been alone, but now, she feels more lonely than ever, after losing her beloved mother, the only person she had in this world. But, when in the depths of despair, there is always someone who comes and brightens your life when you least expect it. Elise meets a lovely cheerful girl at her summer school, named Ingrid, and they slowly grow closer and closer. While Elise is still struggling, will she keep going, as long as she has Ingrid by her side? Will she learn how to love herself and Ingrid as well? This is a tale of love and self-actualization and how you can always raise from your ashes, like a phoenix with flaming wings.
A mother's love (Yandere Stepmom x Reader)
"You didn't choose her. But she chose you. When your life fell apart, she offered you a home. A roof, a smile, a promise of safety. But it came at a cost-her love. Overbearing. Obsessive. Smothering. She's not your real mother. But she'll do anything to make you hers. This story is a reimagining of my old work from 2021, now brought back to life with a fresh perspective. The dynamic is now a yandere stepmother x reader-told through a dark, emotional lens focused on psychological tension and horror. ⚠️ Please note: This is a fictional work featuring mature themes like obsession and manipulation, but it does not include inappropriate or explicit content. All characters are fictional, and this is purely for storytelling purposes."Complete
