Complete, First published Jul 23, 2024
The Tainish Empire is the largest Empire in the world. Ruling over 43 colonies, it includes 5 of the world's most influential kingdoms and bears hostage their second-born children. 
Leila has been home just once, and that was seven years ago. Perhaps it would have been better if she had never known her true home. Each night since has been one spent in hankering, a longing for that which she cannot truly have. She was raised a soldier of the Tainish Empire, collateral for her family's compliance, and soldiers did not have wishes. 
With an invitation home for her brother's naming as heir, though, Leila must navigate what it means to be the Hand of an Empire within the walls of her blood-bound family.

The stars flickered above us. "I like you, Noella," Mason said suddenly, voice low, careful. My heart stuttered. "I like you so much." I swallowed hard. "There's... there's a difference between a want and a need." He turned his head, eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?" "People say they want someone," I whispered, staring up at the stars. "But a want is fleeting. Temporary. A craving. A need is something you can't live without. And I don't know which one I am to you, Mason. I don't know if I want to be anyone's need." Silence stretched. My chest tightened. Then he rolled onto his side, facing me fully. His voice was steady. "I love you, princess." ____ She was invisible. He was everyone's favorite. Noella Collins has spent her life hiding in plain sight-quiet, overlooked, and trapped in the noise of her own thoughts. Mason Montgomery? He's the golden boy with the kind of smile that makes the world stop spinning. They were never supposed to cross paths. But when his eyes find hers, something shifts. For the first time, she isn't just there-she's seen. The invisible girl. The golden boy. One look-and everything changes. Noella never believed in love stories. Mason never expected to fall for one. She's quiet storms and late-night thoughts. He's sunlight and easy laughter. And when their worlds collide, It isn't chaos- It's everything love was meant to be. ____ Best rankings: #1 unpopular (22/12/2025) #1 mentalproblems (24/12/2025) #9 hotboys (21/12/2025) #2 therapy (25/12/2025) #9 selflove (24/12/2025) #3 teenlove (28/12/2025) #1 healing (01/01/2026)

The Goddess's Chosen

16 parts Ongoing

Two sisters. Two orphans. One girl Chosen by a God. Freed from the cold walls of Grimwood Orphanage, they step into a realm where shadows whisper and truth cuts deeper than any blade. For Liora, the world beyond is filled with questions-about her parents, her power, and the destiny that haunts her bloodline. Torn between loyalty and survival, she must navigate betrayal, ancient magic, and a war that was never hers to fight. And yet, in the chaos, one stranger seems to see her-the broken soul behind her courage, the fire behind her fear. But when every choice carries the weight of a world, will Liora become the savior her mother once dreamed of... or the spark that burns it all down?
