When all seems lost, a light in the darkness appears, in the form of a young woman. This stranger brings light and hope back into their crumbling home, bringing things long gone, love and leadership. Unfortunately every action has a reaction, and not all of them are good. Not everyone has good intentions and sometimes you have to learn to lie, and to be careful who to trust.

The Quiet Offering
The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

ECHOES OF THE HIDDEN PAST AND THE UNSEEN CONNECTIONS
"They said the past dies with time. But in our world... the past never dies. It waits. It hunts. It whispers in every silence." The night it all began was not with gunfire or betrayal- but with a knock on the door of the Zydani mansion. Maheer didn't know stepping across that mansion would bind her to two brothers-one who hated her, and one who silently guarded her. She didn't know the walls carried secrets older than her existence. She didn't know that every smile, every betrayal, every connection... was written long before she arrived. But she would learn. She would bleed. And she would uncover the truth- that blood is never just blood, and love is never just love. Because in the end, it was never about who she could trust. It was about who wanted her alive... and who was waiting for her to fall. Maheer thought she was just another guest... until she became the center of a game woven in lies, betrayal, and forbidden desires. Every connection hides a truth. Every truth hides a betrayal. And when masks fall, she'll discover the deadliest secret of all- the one that binds her to Zain
The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
