Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete
The Song Beneath the Leaves (BL Series)
Magic blooms through music in the forest of Mythenwood... but lately, the Song has started to twist. Daniel Lee is small, shy, and a little too kind for his own good. As a first-year student at the University of Mythenwood-an ancient magical academy hidden within an enchanted forest-he just wants to keep his head down, pass Potions class, and maybe make a few friends along the way. But Mythenwood is no ordinary school. Magic here is grown, not cast, rooted in the Song of Roots, a living melody that flows through every branch and leaf. Daniel, with his gentle heart and natural attunement, hears the Song more clearly than most... including the eerie new verse creeping into its harmony. When a wrong turn leaves him lost deep in the woods, Daniel collides-literally-with Lucien Virellis, a cold and enigmatic second-year with shadowed eyes and a secret past. The forest has begun to reject Lucien, and the magic that once bloomed beneath his touch has withered into silence. As an ancient power stirs and the forest begins to unravel, Daniel and Lucien find themselves drawn together by something neither of them fully understands. But can a boy who sees only the good in others heal someone who no longer believes he deserves saving? Or is Daniel simply the next verse in a song that's turning dark?

[COMPLETE] Her hands are under my shirt in seconds. She palms my breast through my bra and squeezes like she doesn't care if it leaves a mark. I cry out but the sound is muffled by her lips as her thumb flicks my nipple. "I hate you," I whisper. "Then hate me with your legs opened," she snarls, dragging my shirt over my head and tossing it somewhere behind her. Her teeth scrape down my throat, biting at the skin just below my jaw until I hiss. My back arches as her fingers undo the clasp of my bra and when it falls her mouth is latching onto my nipple, sucking it so fucking hard I nearly scream. I grab her hair and yank her head back but the look in her eyes only makes me wetter. "Shut up and fuck me," I snap. She grins.

Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar
Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar follows Vesper Retchley, a dry-witted, sharp-eyed apartment witch with a talent for quiet magic and a habit of writing things down before they slip through the cracks. Her apartment isn't much - creaky floorboards, a stubborn kettle, a cat with too many opinions, and two pigeons who gossip more than they fly-but it's hers. And it's where the magic settles: not in spells or spectacle, but in small nudges, warm rituals, and the soft reshaping of everyday life. Vesper doesn't chase adventure. She brews tea, listens closely, and occasionally corners a neighbor in the hallway to help them get their life back on track. She writes not for fame, but because the world is always saying too much-and she needs a quiet place to answer back. This is a story about the magic tucked between the lines of ordinary life. Cozy, clever, and a little offbeat, it's perfect for anyone who knows that even the smallest moments can carry a touch of wonder.
