In the quiet solitude of a countryside meadow, Drystan Corvalis, a once-renowned painter, finds himself lost-his art dulled by years of grief and the emptiness of a life without inspiration. Trapped in a cycle of despair, his hands ache to create, but his soul is hollow, each brushstroke a reminder of what he has lost.
Until the day Eryndra, an enigmatic young woman, steps into his life like a whisper of light through the darkness. She is everything his art has been missing-graceful, radiant, and hauntingly beautiful. Her presence ignites a fire in Drystan, awakening his dormant passion for creation and unlocking a flood of emotions he thought were gone forever.
But Eryndra is no ordinary muse. As Drystan paints her into life, he becomes captivated by the mystery of who she is, and why she seems so deeply connected to his pain. Their bond grows with each stolen moment and brushstroke, pulling them closer while unraveling secrets neither of them are ready to face.
As Drystan's art blossoms, so does his love for Aeloria-a love that begins to heal his fractured soul. Yet, the more he paints her, the more the line between reality and memory blurs, until he is left to question whether Aeloria is the key to his salvation-or a fragment of something he has lost long ago.
Canvas of Memories is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the haunting beauty of inspiration. It explores how art has the power to mend the heart, even when it is broken beyond repair, and how some muses come into our lives not to stay, but to remind us of the light we carry within...

Prescient
When dreams stop being dreams, things get confusing. Anna is back - back in a place she once thought was just a product of her imagination. The silvery locks, bluish-grey eyes, and the pointed ears prove that much. Her dreams were memories. The same memories that led up to her death... well, her first death, before she slipped through a crack in the Halls of Mandos. Ash, blood, and fire haunt her, the sounds of a dying, burning city echoing in her head whenever she tries to rest. Coming back from death is never easy. Death leaves scars on one's very soul, but who better to heal those wounds than the company of her kin? There's only one problem. Returning to her kin in Arda means facing the elf she sacrificed her life for. The one whose heart she broke all those years ago. But she doesn't have an option to stay away. Every day the call of the sea grows stronger for him, and it's not his time just yet. He is their emissary, and it's time they finally gave something back. Even if that something happens to be the love he's convinced he lost years ago.

More Than Words
He's guarded, the kind of man who keeps his heart locked behind walls no one has ever climbed. But the moment he heard her voice, something shifted.

With him, she felt seen, loved, safe. For the first time in a long time, she let herself fall... fully, recklessly, purely. Two guarded hearts. One unexpected connection. And sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin in the most unusual ways, with a voice, a spark, and the courage to believe in something More Than Words.
A Love That Shouldn't Exist
Hematite has always loved Gynger in a way she shouldn't. In a way that burned too deep, too dangerously-something fragile and consuming all at once. But instead of confessing, she settled for friendship, convincing herself that having a piece of Gynger was better than losing her entirely. For years, Gynger danced on the blurred lines between them, touching, teasing, and holding Hematite close but never quite enough. She moved in and out of relationships, never looking at Hematite the way she craved to be seen. Until one drunken night, when Gynger kissed her-and then pretended like it never happened. Everything shattered when a toxic friend exposed Hematite's long-buried feelings, unraveling the delicate balance they had maintained. Gynger pulled away, distancing herself and finding solace in a new relationship-with a man. Hematite was left behind, forced to watch as Gynger found stability in someone else, while she drowned in her own emotions. Caught between her obsession with Gynger and the lingering toxicity of her ex, Sevyn -a street-affiliated man who left her broken more times than she could count-Hematite spirals. Her battle with BPD only makes things more volatile. Love turns into obsession, desire twists into destruction, and the lines between passion and pain blur beyond recognition. As fights to untangle herself from the past, she's forced to face the truth: Some love stories aren't meant to have a happy ending. Some love stories are only meant to ruin you. Themes: • Unrequited love and emotional dependence • Psychological turmoil and obsession • Betrayal, self-destruction, and toxic relationships • Dark, slow-burn romance with high emotional stakes • The pain of watching someone you love move on A deeply emotional and darkly intense story filled with longing, regret, and raw passion. A Love That Shouldn't Exist is an aching, slow-burn tragedy about love that was never meant to be-but that refuses to let go.Complete
Aetherwell
"Aetherwell" is a tapestry woven with threads of love, confusion, and raw, untamed chaos. At its heart lies Solona, a teenager utterly unlike any other. Raised in the secluded simplicity of a forgotten corner of the world, she grew up in the profound ignorance of humanity's true nature. The very concept of magic, the mystical currents that flow beneath the surface of reality, was utterly foreign to her until the day she was found. Lost and adrift, a flicker of vulnerability in the vast wilderness, she was discovered by the coven - a clandestine group whose existence shattered her naive worldview. Plunged into a world of arcane rituals and hidden power, Solona grapples with a maelstrom of emotions. She's overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of her latent abilities, powers that bloom haphazardly, both exhilarating and terrifying in their unpredictability. Every spell is a struggle, a dance with forces she barely understands, and fear often whispers at her shoulders, threatening to consume her. But amidst this dizzying transformation, a new feeling blossoms, a forbidden flame sparked by the enigmatic presence of Dorian. Dorian is the embodiment of everything Solona is not: composed, brilliant, and effortlessly powerful. He is the top student, the star pupil of the coven, his magic imbued with precision and grace. He moves through this world of enchantments with a confidence that both intimidates and captivates Solona. As she struggles to master her powers, a burgeoning passion for this captivating young man takes root, further complicating her already tumultuous journey. Aetherwell isn't just about magic; it's about the fragile beauty of first love blooming amidst the storm, and the chaotic path of self-discovery in a world that has suddenly become far more complex than she ever imagined.
The Crimson To My Snow
All he ever wanted. All he ever fought for. Becomes the scythe to his bleeding core... The curse hiding under the tenderness of a touch. The softness of a voice... of a loving gaze. Yet an easing warmth to his freezing heart. It is ruining him. He knows it. It burns his insides, he feels it slowly killing him. Oh... Ever so sweetly. Intoxicating. She is. Like a moth to a flame. He knew it's danger, yet he still dove deeper into what's to be his grave. Or hers? Who can tell when all that is visible is the forgotten hot blood splatter on innocent snow? Maybe that blood didn't know how incriminating he looked, And maybe snow isn't so innocent after all. We'd wonder and question the whys and hows, but the only truth they both shared? Terrified. In their skin. Because they yearned for it still. Afraid to answer a mind. Scared to face a logic. So helplessly one would ask, How can a heart still long for its destroyer? How can cold snow yearn for the burning heat of crimson?
Let me show you the world
With the prophecy now over, a certain ex-archon hurried down the streets, her head hung low and shoulders hunched. As she passed, murmurs and whispers could be faintly heard, barely covered by the rustles of the wind. I don't wanna do this anymore... I can't take it... Her grief and cries seem insignificant and trivial, like another gentle gust of fresh wind. She didn't dare dream, didn't dare hope, her happiness long locked up, a forgotten relic of a bygone era. She longed for someone to see her, the real her, buried deep beneath the thousands of masks and façades. She yearned for companionship and care, free of judgements, to just lay in someone's arms and be vulnerable and understood, to seek the artifact of happiness she long sealed. Just how much longer... She pleaded silently, knowing it was futile after all. But perhaps...a certain blonde traveller and his floating fairy heading her way could answer her calls...
Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete
