Awen never cared about her studies until Cargim Fowler found her out. He has a picture-perfect memory and notable name. She has bigger things on her mind than an entitled elite, namely protecting her family and taking care of her sick mother. That's until Cargim Fowler learns of her secret: she's the only one who knows how to solve Szoremal's Conjecture. And now, Cargim wants to know too.
The problem: she can't tell him or anyone. Ever. Because the solution is a weapon that could send the world back into war.
Cargim threatens to make Awen his Chordus - his second, his magic avatar, his servant - if (and when) he graduates as Magus. With her freedom at stake and no way to tell him the solution to Szoremal's Conjecture, Awen descends into an academic battle that has her questioning Fowler's intentions and loyalties, all while trying to protect her family with a weapon that could destroy the world - and now, one that's destroying her too.
For lovers of dark academia, magic, academic rivals and enemies to lovers!

Test Me. Bakguo x Fem!Reader
All Y/N wants is to survive sophomore year without setting her life on fire. Between early morning lectures, chaotic group chats, record store shifts, and weekly hangouts with Mina, Kyoka, Denki, Eijiro, and Hanta, she's content keeping things simple. Friendships. Good grades. No emotional complications. But simplicity doesn't last long. Hanta Sero's steady presence begins to feel different. Softer, safer and closer than she expected. And then there's Bakugo Katsuki, the sharp‑tongued soccer captain she first collided with at a party. Their banter crackles with tension, never quite friendly, never quite distant. Just... charged. Somewhere between late-night movie sessions, slow walks home, and almost-confessions, Y/N finds herself tangled in feelings she never meant to have. Forced to confront what she wants, who she trusts, and who she's willing to let close enough to hurt her. Because sophomore year isn't just about passing classes anymore. It's about learning the difference between comfort and connection. And deciding who she's brave enough to fall for. A No-Quirk My Hero Academia college AU featuring slow burn tension, found family, messy feelings, and love that takes its time. Slow burn · Love triangle · College AU · First-person POV

Wrench and Explosion
Enemies to lovers... with a twist of tech and fire. Y/N was never supposed to be in the same room as Katsuki Bakugou, let alone work with him. A brilliant, sharp-witted support student, Y/N's skills are unmatched when it comes to tech-but she's never quite figured out how to deal with the arrogant, explosive hero who constantly gets under her skin. Katsuki, on the other hand, has his own issues, mainly involving the fact that he doesn't trust anyone to handle his precious gear... except, maybe, her. Thrown together on a project to upgrade his costume, they find themselves bickering, clashing, and testing each other's limits. But what starts as pure resentment soon spirals into something more-a tangle of emotions neither of them expected, much less wanted. But with every heated argument, lingering glance, and moment of vulnerability, their animosity begins to crack, revealing something far deeper. They hated each other. But maybe, just maybe, they didn't know what the hell they were talking about.Complete
