An apprentice silversmith, haunted by his reflection.
A wealthy family, falling to ruin.
A patron spirit, searching for a pact.
Five games will decide their fate.

After acquiring great wealth from a boom in silver trade, the Blackwood family moves into a mansion that was mysteriously abandoned by its previous owners. The property has everything a family of established silversmiths could need: prime trade location, a smithing workshop, and a large mirror that was left behind. To Kyren Blackwood, the promises of a new life and the riches that come with it are more than enough to overshadow the eerie tale.

But the mirror watches. Reflections are not what they seem. Driven to the brink of insanity, Kyren must uncover the mirror's secrets before his family loses everything. In a desperate attempt to free himself, he agrees to play five games with the spectre in the mirror. If he can win three, the curse will end. Lose, and he surrenders his soul to the silver spirit.

~An ONC novella, inspired by prompts 13 and 55.
~Set in the same world as Buried in the Sea but can be read completely independently (with no spoilers to one or the other).

"Eighteen with a Chalkboard" is a thrilling story of love, courage, set against a backdrop of mathematics, gang rivalries, and the struggle to overcome one's deepest fears. :) ----- At just 18 years old, Jonathan Poland has already achieved what most people twice his age can only dream of: he's been hired as a mathematics professor at Edinburgh University. Gifted with a brilliant mind but burdened by crippling social anxiety, Jonathan is determined to prove his worth-not just to his skeptical students, to prove to his disapproving father that he's more than just a timid boy. Jonathan's life takes a turn when he discovers his childhood crush, Millie Robertson, is now one of his students. Millie, however, is dating Sawyer White, a possessive gang leader of the Den of Thieves. Desperate to win her heart, Jonathan makes the unthinkable choice to infiltrate the gang. Caught between his love for Millie, his academic career, and a gang recruit, Jonathan must face his fears and outsmart Sawyer to earn Millie's love, his father's respect, and his place in the world. --

RÊVERIA by BaelNae

I used to feel so simple and free When you'd remained so close to me You've now left me with memories Memories that's turned into reveries * * * * * * * When Wolf meets her lover after about ten years of otherworldly separation, she does not seem quite surprised to find herself telling each and every one of the stories of their adventures together all over again, to recover precious old memories of gold and hemlock that had been hopelessly forgotten within just fleeting moments when something rather unfortunate had happened earlier. Now, the only question both these lovers have, deep down within each of their own souls, is that is it really possible for those lost reveries to be recovered from just storytelling? Yes, it's absolutely possible...

𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 · 28x FEATURED · An Asian sci-fi retelling of The Little Mermaid that steers the tale you know in a whole new funky direction | An ambitious teen mermaid must venture beyond her guarded underwater city and brave the polluted, climate-ravaged wilds of the Indian Ocean, in order to find her human soulmate and forge a better future for her people. *** The city of Calliathron is the epitome of modern sea life--contained within a glorious coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. Yet, the ripples of the changing world beyond seep in with increasing force, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. That day, all Dea could think about was swimming her sea cow to the seagrass meadows. Who said life's easy for a high school teen? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a modest mobile home with a grumpy grandmother, who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans co-exist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and a looming political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days. It's time to return him to the wild--not like she'd run into a human.
