🏆ONC 2025 HONORABLE MENTION 🏆

A lone lighthouse keeper watches over the coast, tending to her light as the sea rages beyond. The storms are nothing new-neither is the solitude. She is content with the quiet rhythm of her life, the crash of waves against the cliffs, the scent of salt and parchment filling her days. But when a shipwreck leaves a battered stranger at her doorstep, the tide of her world begins to shift.

The man is rough-edged, a relic of salt and shadow, with secrets hidden beneath his scars. He speaks of a past that the waves should have swallowed, of maps inked in the margins of forbidden books, of love letters lost to time. Trapped together by a storm that refuses to pass, they share stories by lantern light-one seeking refuge, the other searching for something long forgotten.

Yet not all ghosts are content to stay buried, and not all storms end when the sky clears. Whispers of war linger in the distance, and the truth he carries may threaten the safe harbor she has built for herself. As the past and present begin to intertwine, she must decide-will she cling to the safety of her lighthouse, or will she risk everything to follow the reflection of something new?

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?

The Reaper's Claim II Ateez Pirate AU by CarAtiny_21
27 parts Ongoing
Aurora was never meant to be part of their world. She was just a simple map collector, a tiny flower seller with bright green eyes and an innocence that didn't belong in the filth of the seas. She never questioned the treasures she gathered-never thought twice when she purchased an old, tattered map with strange markings, drawn to it only because of its beauty. She didn't know it was the map. The one everyone was willing to kill for. The one that led to Wonderland. When the infamous pirate crew led by Captain Hongjoong arrives on her island, disguised among the locals, she meets Park Seonghwa-the captain's right hand, a man spoken of in hushed whispers, known as the Reaper of the Seas. Cold, ruthless, and deadly, he was nothing like the sweet and charming man who later convinced her to sell the map. And she had no idea that both men were part of the same crew. But before she could process her mistake, before she could even grasp that she had been nothing more than a pawn in a game far beyond her understanding-she was hunted. Marked as the last known owner of the map, Aurora barely escapes an ambush by assassins, fleeing blindly into the night. Desperate, she hides aboard what she thinks is an abandoned ship. But when the ship sets sail, and she is dragged before a crew of cutthroat pirates- pirates who already know her name- Aurora realizes her mistake. She has just boarded the ship of the Pirate Kings themselves. And Seonghwa is looking at her like she is nothing more than an inconvenience- one that will be dealt with, one way or another. - A dark, immersive novel steeped in blood, terror, and the excruciating tension of a man who was never meant to feel... and the woman who should have never survived his world. - #1- Choi Jongho- 28-02-2025 #2- Ateez ff- 28-02-2025
