The Narwhals
Madeleine "Maddie" Harper never imagined her life would unfold like a slow migration. After years of rejection, restlessness, and suffocating expectations, her long-awaited acceptance to NYU finally cracks open a world she thought would never belong to her. With her best friend Nate heading to Columbia, both carry their own weights-the fear of change, the ghosts of home, and the pressure to prove that leaving was worth it. Like a narwhal breaking through the Arctic ice, Maddie emerges into the unfamiliar waters of New York City-cold, vast, and breathtaking. Narwhals are known as the "unicorns of the sea," elusive and resilient, navigating through extreme environments with quiet grace. Much like them, Maddie learns to survive in the shifting tides of adulthood, adapting to pressures she doesn't fully understand yet, following instinct when direction fails. In her new life, Maddie finds unexpected warmth in friendship-especially in Anastasia "Anne" Elizabeth-Collins, her roommate from the Upper East Side. Anne's world is one of privilege and poise, polished in all the ways Maddie's never been. They clash at first, as opposite as deep sea and sunlight, but soon discover that both are just trying to stay afloat in their own ways. Through alternating perspectives, the story explores how two young women-one learning to belong, the other learning to break free-navigate love, loss, ambition, and identity in a city that demands everything. Together, Maddie and Anne's worlds intertwine like currents beneath the surface-sometimes turbulent, sometimes still-each helping the other find strength in their differences. And like narwhals that travel in small, loyal pods through freezing seas, they remind us that survival isn't about conquering the storm. It's about finding who swims beside you when the ice begins to crack. ⭐️Updated every Saturday and Sunday ⭐️Don't forget to like, comment, share, and stay tuned for the next chapter!

Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach."

Children of The Fallen
"I didn't think that the first night at my new college would end with me getting my back broken. And not in the fun way. I'm kind of annoyed about it. Not how I wanted to kick this year off. I got into my dream school, University of Miami. Big change from New York but I've loved this school since I found out what college was. I was looking forward to this for a while. I had decided to spend my first two years at a nearby community college to get my pre rec classes out of the way and save money. It was definitely a good idea, but the vibe of the school was: go to class, go home, and that's it. So to get to a big university I was excited for that cliche "college experience." I was excited to get shitfaced at a frat party, hookup with random guys, join a sorority and probably regret it. It's where you're gonna make the most mistakes, I mean it's the first time most people have complete, or almost complete freedom. Every adult ever always told me "college is where you're supposed to find yourself" and I was really hoping that would reign true. To kick the year off I wanted to have a fun night out with my new roommates who weirdly didn't have any social media so I was moving in with no prior knowledge of these two other than their names Victoria Brooks and Chloe Whitlock. I wanted to get to know them and get to know the area I'd be living in for the next two years. So it was pretty inconvenient for this shit to happen on the first fucking night." * * * * * Morgan Sinclair had expectations for her junior year at her new college: parties, roommates, clubs, friends, even classes and assignments. Among those expectations, was not: finding out about the existence of vampires and the fact that she is one. After one *almost* fatal night out she's forced to navigate a whole new reality. Vampires, lycans, a psychopathic father, betrayal, and blood- and it'll all take her away from everything and everyone she's ever known.Complete
