Arya had confidence that exuded through her and a voice that could only be described as euphonious. Her stories evocative, painting the perfect picture, making you feel as though you were there a warm presence consuming you, something she got from her mother. Her friends would have described her as someone who was in a constant state of eudaema. All that knew her would say that she lived an idyllic life or so they thought.
All these things feel ephemeral now, nothing but a distant memory.
When Arya learns the realities of her family and their history, she is forced to leave the only place she has ever known, her home. She is forced into The Heart's Place to a family she has never known and has very little desire to get to know. The only thing she hopes to bring them is complete and utter chaos.
Ironic that they are called the Hearts when Arya has no place in theirs. The real question remains, is this something she can deal with, or will another Heart be hardened?

The Way We Mend | Book 1 | Author AifiHwa
"I didn't want this to burn out too fast. I wanted it to last, slow and steady, a burning ember that glowed for eternity." She's breaking under expectations. He's suffocating under love. Valeriana has spent her whole life performing as the perfect daughter while quietly falling apart under the weight of never being enough. Darius grew up in warmth and freedom, only to find that too much love can also be a cage. At Ceridian University, Valeriana just wants to survive another semester. Darius just wants to do his job and keep his heart out of it. But when their paths cross; the tutor sessions, quiet teasing, dinners, and moments that weren't supposed to matter turns into something neither expected. A bond built on shared exhaustion and unspoken care. They teach each other how to breathe again. How to laugh when the world feels too heavy. How to love without needing to be perfect. But as their connection deepens, so does the fear of losing control, of being too much, of not being enough. Because love, for them, isn't a rescue. It's a slow unravelling. A choice to stay when it would be easier to run. "The Way We Mend" is a tender, slow-burn romance about burnout, healing, and the quiet courage of being seen and loved as you are. {This is an original work written by me.

I am the Queen of the Dark
This world is huge and beautiful. Yet, it also has so many mystery in it. Still, I hate this world. For me, it's just a full pile of trash. Thousands of fake words exist in this world.

Like those people who supported you, then stabbed you from the back. Those who smiled this second, then spit out their bad words towards you in the next second.

Those who protected you this hour, then tried to destroy you in the next hour. So...trash. What is family? They're nothing but the annoying people whom always tied me up to follow whatever they said.

Jaqen X Arya - At The Dawning of The Day
This is a loose continuation of my one-shot In The Middle Of The Night. But you do not need to have read that one to read this. As it can be read as a standalone. Twelve years have passed since Jaqen and Arya confessed their feelings to one another on the stairs of the bathing chambers in the House of Black and White. Twelve years where they'd been forcibly separated, due to an ultimatum from the House. But losing Arya wasn't the only thing that Jaqen had been forced to lose that day. He'd lost his freedom once more, as well as something more special and important than anything else. To this day he has still not forgiven the House for what they'd done to him and Arya. But when the thing he lost finds its way back to him? He knows he won't lose it again. He will see the end of the House of Black and White once and for all. And they will only have themselves to blame. They should have thought about the consequences before they crossed him.Complete
