Lucian Velmont believes in logic, permanence, and the certainty of things that last. Seraphine Delaunay is everything, she is not-unpredictable, fleeting, and full of contradictions. Yet, when fate intertwines their lives, he finds himself drawn to her chaotic brilliance.

But love is cruel to those who seek forever.

As Seraphine begins to slip away, piece by piece, Lucian is forced to confront the one question he's never dared to ask: Would you love someone, knowing they won't stay?

The Light You Left Behind by annalynkellie

Elara had a life-a future full of laughter, dreams, and endless possibilities. But when she's diagnosed with terminal cancer, that future is stolen from her in an instant. Isolated by fear and grief, she shuts herself away, unwilling to let anyone see her break. Then she meets Lucian. A hospice volunteer with a quiet presence and a light that seems to reach her even in the darkest moments, Lucian doesn't offer false hope or empty words. He simply stays. And as the days slip through her fingers, she finds herself drawn to him-not because he promises her more time, but because he makes the time she has left feel real. But love doesn't stop the inevitable.

Seven years ago, Seraphina betrayed Adrian. He repaid her with a bullet. Now, fate has forced them back into each other's lives-but this time, she isn't just his captive. She's his wife. Adrian wants revenge. Seraphina wants freedom. Bound by a ruthless contract and haunted by a past that refuses to die, their love-hate war is reignited, tangled in power, passion, and the ghosts of everything they once were. But in their world, trust is a weapon, and love? Love is the deadliest risk of all. As buried secrets unravel and dangerous enemies close in, the battle between them grows more intense. Every glance is a challenge, every touch a threat. The deeper they fall, the harder it is to tell whether they're fighting to break free-or to hold on. Will they destroy each other beyond repair, or is their fire too fierce to burn out? Stay tuned-because some battles are destined to be fought to the very end.

Whispers of the Abyss by silent-scribbler

The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night. Seraphina Duskborne has always felt them watching, lurking just beyond her reach. But when one finally steps into the light, she realizes she was never meant to be ordinary. 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?

"A Dance of Deception and Desire" by mimi0059

"It's not about a dollhouse, Darain. It's about a childhood stolen, a name stripped away. You don't understand what it's like to lose everything." Darain, his anger rising, retorted, "You think I don't know how to lose everything? Are you mad? I lost my family and everything, all because of you" Seraphine, her eyes welling up with emotions, responded, "How did I cost you everything? I lost my parents too. What do you mean?" Darain, his eyes reflecting the pain of unresolved emotions, replied with a hint of bitterness, "I lost everything because of you. Your parents were involved in decisions that cost me my family, and now you're a constant reminder of that loss." Darain, in a moment of vulnerability, admitted, "I lost my family because I don't know how to let go. Are you mad that I lost everything because of you?" . . . "In a world shadowed by a haunting past, a young man named Darain believes she's responsible for his parents' tragic demise. Striving for retribution, he orchestrates an arranged marriage alliance with Seraphine . As their hearts entwine in an unexpected dance of love, the fragile cocoon of their happiness begins to unravel. Secrets buried deep start to resurface, threatening the foundation they've built. In their journey for love and redemption, they must navigate a treacherous path where the truth lurks, waiting to unravel the delicate threads of their newfound happiness."

The Boy She Saw in the Hospital by triciawritess

"Death isn't just one thing that happens and is over with. That description fits life more. Death is eternal. I mean that's how I view it. Death brings joy and pain. In my opinion life should be viewed as death is. The end. Death is the beginning. A new life, a fresh new start. Its beauty is unmatched. I imagine it feels like stars bursting, a million smiles and just pure happiness." Cancer. What a pain. Valerie's crippling illness leaves her hospitalised, bored out of her mind, dreaming of how she just wants to be a normal teenager. Although her thoughts are constantly intruded by someone. The boy. She was intrigued by him, he visited everyday at the same time, 2:47pm. She wanted to know his story, why was he here? Is he visiting someone? Her curiosity overflowed her. Anyways, it didn't matter, for her illness was getting better and she could finally get back to school. Sophomore year. Gosh. She could finally be a normal teenager. Then she saw "him" in the school hallways. The boy. Although he seemed different, less warm, more cold. It was like he put up a façade and barricaded his true self. His true self being... the boy she saw in the hospital. 🥇First place in The Star Awards 🥇First place in The Ember Awards #24 in sadromance #15 in cancerpatient finished- 22/09/22
