The power within her is waking up. And it's not waiting for permission. Sakura has lived a quiet life since the fire that changed everything.

And as secrets unravel, Sakura must decide who she can trust... before the power inside her decides for her. A coming-of-age fantasy packed with anime-style action, emotional weight, and a slow descent into something much bigger than she imagined. Power changes people. Whether they're ready or not.
Nowhere to Go but Down.... (Ashley Graves x Male Reader)
I was inspired to write my own Ashley Graves x Male Reader story. I am fearful. I'm not sure how good this will be, because Ashley is a bit of a hard character to write. If anybody has tips or ideas for me, they are very much appreciated. I plan to extend this a good way past the story of the actual game (assuming I can actually commit to it for that long), so I guess we'll see how that goes. Bear with me, I guess. I don't own or claim ownership to TCOAAL or any of its characters or dialogue.
Echoes Beneath the Steel
⚠️ This story does not yet have a permanent title. It is not yet finished, I continue to add and change as I go This story contains darkness. Not the kind born from monsters or magic, but the kind born from people. Much of what you'll read is inspired by things I have lived through, things I have seen, and things I wish were not part of the real world. I write about cruelty because I know what it feels like to be powerless. I write about control because I know what it is to be silenced. I write about trauma because I know how long it clings to the skin and reshapes the bones beneath. And I write about survival because I learned it the hard way. In this book, the violence is not pretty. It is not heroic. It is not there to entertain. It exists because there are people in life who treat others the way the villains in this story do. There are systems that grind people down. There are leaders who demand obedience through fear. There are victims who endure far more than anyone should. I wanted to write a story that does not flinch away from that reality. I also wanted to write a story about what comes after. About the moment a person realizes the cage they were forced into is not the end of their story. About the slow return of self. About finding strength in places where only numbness lived. About reclaiming a life that was taken. This book may be difficult at times. It was difficult to write. But I hope, in the end, it is not the darkness you remember, but the rising. To those who have been hurt, controlled, belittled, broken, or silenced- this story is for you.
