In a world where fears manifest as superpowers, society is divided between the powerful "Fearborne" and the powerless "Fearless." The government tightly controls these abilities, assigning roles and exploiting powers for its own gain. Ashford Steele, known as Jinx, is a Fearborne whose Dissociative Identity Disorder shapes her unique relationship with her powers. Each of her alters-distinct identities within her-brings their own strengths and perspectives, making her one of the most versatile and unpredictable supers in the system.
As Ash navigates a society that glorifies superpowers while exploiting those who wield them, she struggles to balance the expectations placed upon her with the voices of her alters, each offering guidance, conflict, and strength.
Joining CivGuard, a division tasked with maintaining peace, Ash begins to uncover the dark truths behind the system she serves. From the stark inequalities between Fearborne and Fearless to the government's ruthless exploitation of powers, Ash's journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and the search for true heroism.
As they work together-or at times, against each other-she must decide whether to uphold the corrupt system or fight for a future where fear no longer dictates destiny.

The Echos of Scars (English Version)
They stole her childhood. She forged her revenge. But survival... is learning to love. Lyra thought she'd left everything behind when she fled Russia: the chains of a ruthless cartel, the orders of a soulless father, and the muffled cries of a stolen life. But some ghosts cross borders. Replicated in Spain under a new identity, she can no longer flee when the past comes back to strike. Hard. And bloody. Madrid becomes the scene of a deadly game where alliances waver, where underground war rumbles, and where the legend of a faceless specter resurfaces: the Devil's Daughter. Between betrayals, strategies, and desperate missions, Lyra must face her destiny... and an enemy she never dared to face: her own family. In the midst of this chaos, Draven, a Madrid lawyer with an all-too-honest gaze, will break through all her defenses. He has nothing to do with her world. And yet, he will be her truth in the midst of turmoil. But love when you're made of blades and silence... is it even possible? As blood flows, masks fall, and secrets turn like double-edged swords, Lyra, Isaak, Ash, Nox, and Skylar will have to make a choice: revenge, or freedom. Because sometimes, the greatest fight... isn't against others. It's against the scars we carry within.
Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

"Crimson Shimmer Maid's Tale" Arcane x The Handmaid's Tale Romance Crossover
In a fractured world where ideology and invention collide, Crimson Shimmer tells the haunting and intimate tale of rebellion, love, and survival. When Jinx-unstable genius, outlaw of Piltover, and haunted by loss-is drawn into a tear in reality, she awakens in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead, a land ruled by brutality, ritual, and control over women's bodies. There, stripped of her weapons and faced with horrors beyond science or war, Jinx meets Janine-a former Handmaid scarred by Gilead's oppression but fiercely resilient, her soul flickering with untapped fire. Bound by trauma and drawn together by defiance, they flee into the shimmer: a glowing, alien expanse mutating the laws of nature itself, where memory and identity shift like tides. As the shimmer warps their world and bodies in ways neither fully understands, love grows-strange, dangerous, beautiful. But the shimmer isn't salvation. It tests them, remakes them, and threatens to consume everything. In a story that blends the chaotic brilliance of Arcane with the bleak power of The Handmaid's Tale, Crimson Shimmer explores what it means to love in a world designed to erase you-and whether healing can survive outside the rules of gods, men, or physics.Complete

Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it.

As the line between reality and fiction blurs, Jensen begins to uncover a truth far stranger than any script he's ever read: he has dissociative identity disorder. His primary alter? Dean Winchester. Not a role. Not a performance. A fully formed, emotionally complex protector who's been stepping in for years. As Jensen digs deeper, through therapy, fragments of hidden journals, and unsettling footage he doesn't remember filming, he begins to realize just how much of his life Dean has been living for him. But when other alters begin to emerge, some helpful, some dangerous. Jensen must navigate a fractured mind and find a way to reconnect the pieces before he loses himself entirely. Because Dean might be a hero on screen... but even heroes have limits.Complete

Supernova
Zora always knew she didn't belong to this world. She didn't even know her real name. She never met her birth parents, having been left in a firehouse as a 6-month-old baby. Zora has bounced from one foster home to the next since she was a troubled child. Bad things, or "accidents" always followed Zora. She always felt like she was one step behind everyone else trying to catch up. Trying to be normal, but Zora is not normal. And never will be. Bryce Cullen is another lost soul in the world. He is also one of a kind. When they first met it was a supernova, two stars coming together in a stellar collision with stellar dynamics. As an evil is looming, threatening to destroy the Earth, can these two outliers save the world with powers neither utterly understand? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Zora could only shiver as: his eyes darken looking at her, becoming more onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his eyes. Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontestComplete
