I quickly drop my gaze, focusing on the perfectly written notes before me. The last thing I need is another complication, especially one with silver rings and a devil-may-care attitude.

Cass Alcott has always been the girl with a plan. Between balancing her dance scholarship, Aether studies, and avoiding the pressures of her overbearing family, she doesn't have time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of messy, infuriating boys. So, when she's paired with Elliott Thornton for a literature project, she braces herself for disaster. Elliott is everything she's not-reckless, aloof, and never on time.

But as they dive into their assignment, unraveling the complexities of classic romances like Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Elliott's rebellious nature begins to pull Cass into a world she's always avoided. From sneaking into empty theaters to stargazing from rooftops, Cass finds herself breaking all her carefully crafted rules. Beneath Elliott's mysterious, too-cool-for-everything exterior lies a deeper connection to the stories they're studying-and to Cass herself.

Caught between her need for control and Elliott's chaotic charm, Cass is forced to confront her own ideas about love, identity, and the thrill of the unknown. Will their project bring them closer together, or will the emotional intensity they uncover be too much to handle?

With a touch of witchy academia, heart-fluttering romance, and the magic of self-discovery, Ink & Ivory is a slow-burn that explores the fine line between order and chaos-and what happens when opposites collide.

The Lotus Trials by Feysand_Forever
38 parts Complete
Gemma Hart knows well enough what a gilded prison looks like. Paranoid due to the unsolved assassination of their parents, her brother had spent the last seven years ensuring she doesn't face the same fate. Trapped from the outside world, some simple privileges are things she's been kept from. For one, the chance to find her mate naturally. Just days after her twentieth birthday an invitation under her name crosses her brother's desk, carelessly swept away to keep from her curious eyes. An invitation to The Lotus Trials. The series of tests were rumored to be a struggle for the strongest, most agile warrior wolves. Her own father and brother had barely passed the final challenge. But what better chance did she have at proving she could forage her own path in the world outside the border? And how convenient it was that the trials were just days behind the mating ball. ~~~~~ Ezekiel Winters has felt himself slipping, day by day. After the loss of his mate, his grief-like so many others-has driven him to the brink. It's then that a life partner is demanded of him, as a second queen might save him from his darkening fate. Just as he begins to lose hope entirely he stumbles upon a peculiar girl who seems to be an oddity to be competing in the annual trials he hosts. Certainly far too different from his first mate for his wolf to be so drawn to, yet as The Lotus Trials continue on, further and further the king falls, raising a question filled with desperate hope. Can this girl banish his shadows at last? ~~~~~ BOOK ONE. UPDATE EVERY FRIDAY. ENJOY!

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

The Queen, the Savior, and the Duct Tape by pmarty968
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Sixty-five years after peace finally settled across the realms, Regina Mills has spent decades ruling wisely and balancing everything from goblins to city councils. Yet even a queen can ache for home. Drawn by the memory of apple orchards and her father's old riding trails, she returns to her ancestral estate in the Enchanted Forest for a quiet season of renewal. Her granddaughter Evelyn stays behind in Storybrooke to manage the mirror-gates as interim mayor, while the younger grandchildren-Jack the idealist and Luna the half-mad inventor-follow "Grandma Regina" into the woods with far more enthusiasm than sense. Emma Swan, older, silver-haired, and gloriously unfiltered, joins her for company, caffeine, and a little mischief. Years after losing Killian to a peaceful passing, Emma has stopped hiding her feelings and decides life's too short not to love Regina openly, even if it drives the forest spirits crazy. Peace lasts about five minutes. When the ancient magic sustaining the Enchanted Forest begins to fade, Regina sets out to preserve it through research and ritual. Emma-armed with a walking stick, a roll of duct tape, and boundless confidence-refuses to let magic "die behind museum glass." One enthusiastic "repair" later, she manages to short-circuit the gateway between Storybrooke and the Forest, plunging both worlds into comic disaster. Portals flicker, spells misfire, enchanted horses appear in kitchens, and everyone blames everyone else while Emma insists it's "a minor technical hiccup." Now Regina, Emma, and the grandkids must race to restore balance before all magic collapses-proving along the way that family, forgiveness, and a good laugh can heal even the biggest mess. The Queen, the Savior, and the Duct Tape is a wild, heart-warming tale about second chances, late-life love, and the kind of chaos only Emma Swan could call a plan. #1 in swen - 12/2025

But behind his perfect image lies a trail of lies, neglect, and betrayal. The last straw comes the night she finds him with his freshly returned high school sweetheart, Julia Fables at his families charity ball. Determined to reclaim her independence, Vi-Rose turns to someone she's always trusted: Garrett Rex, her childhood friend... and also Ace's childhood friend. But when a mysterious video surfaces - capturing Garrett heatedly defending Vi-Rose to Ace - whispers ignite within their tight-knit friend group of January Stevens, Haylee Gilbert, Malcolm Jace, and Sean McKinley. Suddenly, the rumors of a secret romance explode, fueling tension, jealousy, and suspicion and Julia Fables doesn't hesitate to stir the pot.

Now, every glance, every touch, feels like a line they shouldn't cross. As stolen glances turn into lingering touches, and shared confidences become something far more intimate, Vi-Rose and Garrett are pushed to confront the truth. Are they risking everything for a fleeting spark, or have they stumbled into the kind of love that's been waiting for them all along?
