Iris is the oldest of a group of orphans, working hard and without complaint to help bring in money to feed and clothe the younger children. Everybody knows and loves her. She wants nothing more than a normal, safe life―but war looms on the horizon, threatening her plans.

Char is a dragon and a certified troublemaker. He and his brother are a pain in their commanding officer's side and a favorite at parties, especially among the girls. But when Char's familiarity with humans earns him a routine scouting mission, he meets Iris―and finds more trouble than he ever expected.

She's suddenly at the center of a war, shackled with a magical amulet she doesn't understand and can't control. He's too impulsive to stay out of the tangled web tightening around her, even if that means lying to his brother and risking his life to keep her out of the hands of a psychotic mage.

Nowhere is safe. Nothing is normal.

And Iris may hold the power to end the war and save them all.

The Murderers Daughter by softlyshatered

She's the murderer's daughter. Cold. Quiet. Untouchable. He's the boy who smiles like nothing scares him-until he meets her. Zaria doesn't need anyone. Not after what happened. Not after her mother took the fall for a crime she didn't commit. Not after the world branded her a monster's child. But Riven sees her. The real her. The one behind the walls. The one who still wakes up screaming at 3 AM. He follows her through silence, sarcasm, and the storm she hides inside. She pushes him away-but he stays. He always stays. Until one day... he vanishes. And Zaria realizes the scariest thing of all- She might've needed him more than she ever wanted to admit. A story about trauma, slowburn love, and healing in the quiet moments. He calls her ghost. She calls him stray cat. Neither of them knows how to say "don't leave."

Nobody's girl by lovlylair46_2287

Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?

The Girl Next Door by edith_snow

Iris Donnelly, at the golden age of seventeen, hasn't opened her heart up to anybody. Her philosophy is to get through her last year of high school with straight-A's and her head down. She believes that her heart belongs in her ribcage, not in anybody else's hands. Not only is the pressure of school on her though, but she has severe anxiety after her mother's death. So what happens when she bumps into Pierce Wright, also known as the school's "bad boy"? What happens when she's supposed to be his tutor? What happens when they start to tear down their masks and really get to know all parts of each other - both the good and the bad? And when happens when they become next door neighbors? ✾ DISCLAIMER: While the story has been 100% written by me, this was made to be cliché (strangely enough, it was my attempt to write a good cliché). The pictures weren't taken by me for the face claims! WARNING: This story also contains some heavy topics like anxiety, death, and self-harm. Cursing has been censored with astericks but it does have mature content (nothing sexual though).

Crown of Greed and Power by NicoleWrites11

["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love. Two years pass when she crosses paths with a mysterious and arrogant man, Azlan, who claims to be searching for his sister's killer. When her uncle vanishes without a trace, Nera and Azlan put aside their differences to track down the threat endangering their home, Asteria. However, as Nera finds herself drawn to Azlan, she remains unaware that he harbors a dangerous secret-one that could put her life in grave danger.
