SHADOWS
~Footage by Vecteezy.com.~ [https://www.vecteezy.com/free-photos] Darlan, the Footstep of the Souls, has spent her life in the shadows of violence, reveling in the ecstasy of bloodshed. As a Varua, she thrives on the destruction she causes, seeing life and death as one big game. Her heart has always been cold, her attachments nonexistent, and her actions driven by instinct. Execution attempts are just another thrill for her-until her latest one goes awry. Thrown into a prison for the most dangerous criminals, Darlan crosses paths with Lex, a fellow Varua whose presence stirs something unfamiliar within her. As they escape together, Darlan finds herself caught in a whirlwind of confusion and reluctant introspection. She starts questioning everything she's known-about power, loyalty, and the sudden stirrings of emotions she can't seem to control. But there's more to Darlan than even she knows. Beneath the bloodlust and brutality, a deeper mystery looms over her origin, one that could change everything. And as she navigates a path fraught with enemies and growing doubts, Darlan comes to realize that perhaps the true ecstasy isn't in the kill, but in something much more profound-the bonds she never thought she could form. With the mystery of her origin and the legends behind her past catching up to her and her heart questioning its own desires, Darlan must face the truth of who she really is before it's too late. {Novel's word count••Over 100,000 words} [Book cover credits to Vecteezy.com]Complete
ARDOR OF HEART
#𝟮 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦. 𝗝 𝗔 𝗬 𝘅 𝗦 𝗠 𝗘 𝗥 𝗔 In a world where heartbreak stacks itself higher than hope, fate somehow threads together two souls who were never meant to cross paths-yet desperately needed to. Smera Joshi has spent her whole life flinching from the idea of love. A childhood fractured by a father who taught her the wrong kind of fear left her wary of every man who tried to step close. She trusts her work, her silence, her own two hands-nothing else. Jay Gupta, on the other hand, is soft where she is guarded. His heart carries the quiet ache of a love that never loved him back, a wound left behind by the one person he trusted most-his best friend. Now he walks carefully, afraid to offer his heart to someone who might drop it again. When Smera and Jay collide, it isn't dramatic-it's subtle. A spark. A gentle shift. The kind of connection that grows before either of them even notices. Slowly, Jay finds himself drawn to her-admiration melting into something deeper, warmer, terrifyingly real. And Smera, despite every wall she's built brick by brick, starts seeing him as the one man who doesn't frighten her... the one she wants to trust. She finally opens her heart-for him, only him. Two wounded hearts. One unexpected bond. A slow-burning unraveling of walls neither believed would ever fall. But when she steps toward him, brave and trembling...will Jay open his bruised heart to her too? Or will the fear of breaking again make him pull away-the moment she finally chooses him?
enigma
enigma (n.) a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. -------------- Your families had decided this was for the best. A strategic alliance, they called it. Your quirk, Umbra Manipulation, allowed you to control and solidify shadows, an ability that paired well with Bakugou's explosive quirk. Together, they said, you'd have powerful children. You thought quirk marriages were old fashion, but your parents didn't care. Not that you had any desire to become a hero. You weren't like Bakugou-confident, brash, and full of fire. You preferred the quiet, the background, where you could avoid conflict and simply exist. But that wasn't an option anymore. -------------- bakugou katsuki x fem!reader (she/her) mostly reader pov but sometimes bakugou pov HEAVY inspiration to My Happy Marriage (on netflix) THIS WAS A ONESHOT IN MY ONESHOT BOOK THAT WAS REQUESTED and I ended up writing way more than I meant to TW: parental physical and mental abuse
What We Leave Behind
Anora and Makena meet at university in Manchester. Anora is thoughtful, artistic, and quietly struggling to find where she belongs. Makena is guarded, sharp-witted, and carrying secrets she's never dared to share. Despite their differences, an undeniable connection forms between them-one that lingers long after their first meeting. Over the years, their paths cross again and again. Sometimes they drift apart, pulled by the weight of their own lives. Sometimes they find themselves impossibly close, teetering on the edge of something more. Each encounter leaves its mark, but fear, timing, and the scars they carry keep holding them back. Between the Lines is a story about love and friendship, identity and silence. It's about how people shape one another and what it takes to bridge the spaces between us.
