A Court of Shadows and Light --- Azriel's Story ACOTAR
WARNING: This story contains major spoilers of the original book ACOTAR. In the aftermath of Solstice, Azriel's world is fracturing. Forbidden from pursuing Elain and watching his brothers' happiness from the shadows, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court teeters on the edge of a darkness five hundred years in the making. Each night, he destroys himself in the training ring, hoping pain might silence the whispers that urge him to take what he's been denied. Crystal arrives at the House of Wind carrying shadows of his own. A healer from the Winter Court with rose-quartz hair and ruby eyes, he possesses the rare gift of mending both body and soul. But the last time he opened his heart, it cost him everything, leaving Crystal with a shattered soul and a bone-deep terror of ever feeling that connection again. Neither expects the impossible--- Azriel's shadows reaching out to Crystal in the darkness, recognizing a kindred spirit in suffering. Crystal sees past Azriel's icy control to the male breaking beneath. Azriel glimpses the devastating loss Crystal hides behind his serene healer's mask. But some wounds run too deep for simple healing. Crystal flinches from their growing connection, terrified of what another bond might cost. Azriel struggles against centuries of self-denial, certain he doesn't deserve the light Crystal brings to his darkness. As war drums echo across Prythian and ancient enemies stir, both must decide: is the courage to love again worth the risk of losing everything? In a world where mates are destiny and bonds are forever, can two shattered souls forge something new from their broken pieces? Or will the coming storm destroy the fragile hope blooming between them? A story of second chances, healing, and finding light in the darkest places. Set in ACOTAR's world, "A Court of Shadows and Healing" explores what happens when the shadows finally find their light.Complete

My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.
Dream-Walker
Rosalina doesn't live a normal life. Okay-technically she does. She works, eats, sleeps... But when she dreams, she enters another world-one where she's tasked with keeping innocent people safe from Nightmares. Then there's Henry. Artist. Brooding. Moody. You know the type. He thinks he's charming. He's not. Worst of all, he's a Dreamer-In-Training. Rosalina doesn't want to deal with Henry's brand of stubborn-not when her own life is quietly falling apart. But fate, dreams, and work keep pulling them together. It's too many responsibilities, too many secrets, and just maybe... too many feelings. (Will update monthly as my schedule allows)Complete

DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way. WARNING:- This context may based on sexual harassment, drinking, smoking, and dark sences.

They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally.

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.
