Never Too Late
Maya had learnt to believe that silence was safer than the truth. For years, she learned to measure her words, tiptoe around fury, and wear a smile that masked the slow unravelling of her spirit. But when the fear began to reach not just her, but her daughter's eyes-wide and too wise for their age-Maya knew she couldn't stay silent anymore. After losing her job and amongst the aftermath of a home in chaos, with nothing but a small suitcase and a trembling hand clutching her daughter's, she left. The farm was never part of the plan. It was run-down, overgrown, and far from everything she'd ever known. But in its quiet stillness, Maya found something unexpected-space to breathe, to heal, and to begin again. She rebuilt not just the house, but herself. And when she thought her heart had closed for good, someone came along with eyes full of patience and hands that only knew how to hold, not harm. This is Maya's story. Of survival, of strength, and of learning that love-real love-doesn't hurt, it heals.

A Garden of Flowers and Bones [Lloyd Garmadon x Reader]
[LEGO NINJAGO FAE & FAERIES!AU] At first it doesn't seem like much of a good thing. But in time, it feels like stepping off the path into Fair Folk-infested territory and talking to a stranded Fae (who looks at her as if she's helpless prey) was a good idea. Because she made a friend...! Well, kind of. It's a bit complicated. Listen, he may be constantly attempting to trick her into being dragged off into the woods never to be seen again, but he IS good company. CONTENT WARNINGS: - Y/N has a middle name which she uses as a fake name because of the whole Fae-stealing-your-name-thing. Lloyd's discovery of her true name is an overarching plot point. - Suggestive Themes (no explicit content) - Ableism - Religious Content/Criticism/Discussion/Guilt - Period-Typical Sexism and Themes of Internalised Misogyny - Blood and Violence (TWs at the beginning of chapters) - Child Death & Miscarriage (not happening to the MC but as a consequence of the middle ages)
Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

Will they emerge stronger, or will everything they've fought to build collapse before their very eyes? *** Sebastian slowly turned, his fingers still wrapped loosely around the chalk. His gaze locked on the source of the disturbance, and for a moment, time seemed to halt. His grip faltered. The chalk slipped out of his hand and clattered to the floor. Standing in the doorway was a young man in Slytherin robes. The new student. Jack. Jack Mason. And he was the spitting image of Damien.Complete
