Sarvani Biradar-Adiga moves across the country from NYU to go to her dream school, the mysterious Hillmore University in Dallas, as a transfer student. Despite its reputation for being one of the best schools in the world, it's covered in a shroud of mystery: it has no tuition, its acceptance rate is lower than Harvard's, and the school is hidden from every possible search engine. But even with these red flags, the school intrigues her so much that she uproots her entire life to see what Hillmore has to offer.
The moment she steps foot into the school though, Sarvani realizes that the school's mystery is even more magnified up close. Things seem too good to be true, and all the people there look like they're doing the impossible. She realizes that there is more to Hillmore besides its picture-perfect impression and decides to find some answers on her own. However, she gets all the answers she's looking for on one fateful night.
Soon enough, she realizes that the school isn't what she thought it was. At all. And she realizes that herself included is a new mystery to solve.
And the worst part? She has no idea where to begin because it's possibly the most illogical, ridiculous explanation ever.
Luckily, she has all the help in the world to figure it out. Accompanied by her friends and some unlikely allies, Sarvani learns many truths about her new home and herself. But some of these truths might be too hard to accept.

Zee just wanted to survive high school quietly - no drama, no attention. But fate had other plans in the form of Essen, the notorious campus bully who seemed to have made it her life's mission to ruin Zee's peace. What everyone didn't know was that Essen's teasing wasn't fueled by hate, but by something she couldn't admit - not even to herself. Between playful jabs, stolen glances, and a growing ache she couldn't shake off, Essen starts realizing that maybe she isn't trying to break Zee... maybe she's already falling for her. Meanwhile, Zee battles the confusion of hating the one person her heart seems to soften for. A story of chaos, affection, and everything that blurs the line between love and hate - "Essen & Zee" proves that sometimes, the loudest kind of love starts with a shove. ⸻ 📓 Author's Note (2025): Hey there! 💌 Thank you for checking out Space Between Our Silences.

HR - #8 in NewAuthor #29 in Humor and #144 in teen-fiction. I stopped blind walking when the cold breeze hit my skin stroking the hair off my face. I looked around and realized that we were in terrace. He pulled me to the edge of the terrace. I stopped to look at the beautiful sight in front of me. The city lights looked really alluring with the night sky. A perfect contrast of life and death. I heard a thud sound and looked at him siting on the edge of the terrace with both legs hanging in the air. He patted the place next to him indicating me to take the seat. I hesitated, it was risky sitting on the edge. I have never done that. He raised his chin to look at me. "Trust me," He said and I found myself sitting beside him already. I hung my legs freely, it took me a moment to settle and when I did I gave a big smile. It felt good. ------------ Not everything about Gianna Vertes is normal.

As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

Honeybee | Wanda Maximoff {AU}
Set in an alternate universe, where the heroes of the Marvel universe are not Avengers but normal students at Violet Hill Community College, comes a story about love, tragedy, and magic. Sarai Rizkallah has always been defined by what has happened to her. She was left an orphan in Beirut, Lebanon, at age twelve. She wandered the streets of the capital city for almost four years, struggling to survive. After showing away on a cargo ship, she was discovered and taken in by the captain of that ship. Hal Chapelo became an adoptive father of sorts. For Sarai, her life has been one tragedy after another. But now Hal is dead, right as Sarai decided to go back to school. The fall semester at VHCC is about to start, and she's forced to move into a dorm room after Hal's funeral. She knows that the classes will be hard, that nothing will be the same, but she never thought that it would be this different. She never thought she would meet new friends: Tony Stark, Carol Danvers, and Pepper Potts. She even rekindles her friendship with a former lover, Steve Rogers, and makes friends with plenty of other heroes in their own right. Sarai never thought she would meet Wanda Maximoff. But Wanda isn't the only thing that causes Sarai to hesitate. Magic is in the autumn air, and not just figuratively. A deep-seeded magic that Sarai never knew she had starts to blossom, just like a romance with Wanda. With this magic comes a destiny Sarai didn't know she had. A destiny that brings an obligation to save those in need. A destiny that will change her and her new friends' lives forever. [Watt-tober 2018 project] [Cover is temporary.]Complete

The Shadows and Nightmares
Imagine the whole world is attacked by monsters.. Everyone thought they would come from space. But they didn't. Whilst everyone was looking to the skies, the world was ending at their feet. And when the world ends.. What's left is survivors.. Eight months was all it took for everything to fall apart. Maybe that's how it should stay.. . . . Leo is just a bookworm who would love for this whole apocalypse to end, and for everything to be the way it used to be. Maybe also, for all the books he finds to not be water logged... . Eli, he just wishes that he was able to play volleyball again.. Without having to worry about getting home before dark. . Tahlia wishes for a lot of things.. but nothing more than the embrace of a Christmas with her whole family. . Hazel wishes that this whole apocalypse like event had never happened. And that she still had her family. . . But there's nothing you can do but survive. Especially if you have to trek halfway up the Australian coast with monsters lurking within every shadow. . . . . . . . . Please note that this book does contain swearing and some homophobia, it also contains panic attacks (if only mild and very few) and suicidal ideation. This book also contains talk of death in the past and death itself. . . These characters are all in their early 20's and are all my own characters. And hence belong to myself. If you wish to use said characters in other works please credit myself within the work :)
