Onc 2025 shortlister & Ambassador's pick!

In the midst of a wartime book ban, Yuri discovers a stack of love letters within one of the banned historical books. As she immerses into reading them, she realises that these letters were from an American soldier, Aiden, to his forbidden love, Midori, during World War II. But what starts as curiosity soon turns into shock for Yuri when she realises that Midori is not any ordinary woman; it is her grandmother, a person whom she believed to have known everything about.

As Yuri digs into the past, she finds love torn apart by war, destiny, and impossible decisions. Yet, as the letters draw her further into their existence, she begins to wonder whether the past is shaping her own future. And in the midst of conflict, might she, as well, be unwittingly crafting a romance of her own?

25 parts Complete Mature
*ONC 2024 entry* **Round Two Ambassador's Pick** **Shortlisted** She's an angel of love; an ill-fitting name, as she's no angel. She strives for a world devoid of pain and sorrow. A world of love; of sex and debauchery without consequences. Unattached forever, she's spent millennia ensuring her world remains free of the chaos caused by heartbreak--a term unknown to the humans she oversees. And she'll do everything to keep it that way, at any cost. Meaning she'll kill any who have malice in their souls, to ensure the survival of those who are pure; their hearts red, the color of love. He's the first of his kind: a demon of heartbreak. New to the world, he's thirsty for love, for carnal relations, but craving to destroy it all once he's had his fill. He seeks despair, but not without having a little bit of fun on the way. He's sent above the surface by his king, to spread his disease, until he meets a feisty, sinfully sexy, devious damsel with immense powers. Her heart is so red, so pure, that he has to have it. To crush it. He makes it his goal to seduce her, trick her, and make her his first heartbreak victim. But she's not an easy one to toy with, as her heart isn't as pure as she lets on. *** ONC Prompts 35, 19, 46

She sacrificed for her family all her life until her place was stolen. He was the only one who noticed the person under all the pain. Is this forbidden love another sacrifice she has to suffer through? For nineteen years, Kira Evans put her family above her own interests. No friends, no boyfriends, no going out, no teenage experiences. Now she's in England, away from all the reasons that made her sacrifice herself for her mother and siblings. Finishing high school in a sixth form college, she doesn't know how to make friends, relate to others, or even understand them after the horrors she's been through. Reizu Atkinson is not your average run-of-the-mill teacher. Half Japanese, half English, he knows from experience what it's like to feel alienated in a new place, unable to trust or understand others. The pair is brought together by their similarities, and Reizu becomes the only one Kira can trust when life throws her curveball after curveball. When push comes to shove, are rules meant to be broken, or is this another sacrifice that Kira will have to make? (This book is on sale at Smashwords, as well.)

Love doesn't always follow the rules. Sometimes, it finds you in the most unexpected places-on a rooftop, in the rain, or in the quiet moments between heartbeats. This is the story of a love that defied time, age, and society. A love that was as forbidden as it was beautiful. He was 15 when they first met; she was 32, a woman of grace and mystery. Over the years, their connection deepened, a bond that neither could deny. But their love was a secret, hidden in stolen moments and whispered promises. As they navigated the complexities of their lives, they discovered that some flames burn too brightly to be extinguished-even if they must burn in the shadows. This is a tale of passion, longing, and the bittersweet beauty of a love that could never be. It's about the choices we make, the hearts we break, and the memories that stay with us forever. Welcome to a story where love is both the question and the answer."
