A story of survival, silence, and the slow-burn pull between two souls in a world where love is just as dangerous as the dead. This is a slow-burn romance set in a world swallowed by the undead. Craig never cared much for Kyle Broflovski-at least, not until Kyle stopped speaking, stopped reacting, stopped being human. Now, the dead ignore him, the living don't understand him, and Craig is the only one who seems to notice.
As the world rots around them, Craig finds himself drawn to Kyle in ways he can't explain. It starts with quiet glances, unspoken questions, and a frustration he doesn't understand. But in a world where survival means keeping your distance, Craig might be making the biggest mistake of all-getting close, or worse. Obsessed,

The Perfect Little Town
New town. New friends. And a secret that could destroy them all. When Kai Caldwell, a privileged socioeconomics student with a minor in bioethics, moves to a quiet town for college, he expects small-town life to be... normal. That is, until his friend's girlfriend lands an internship at the town's prestigious Cancer Institute-and then disappears. Talia Torres, a determined public health policy student, has spent her life chasing justice after the death of her sister, who fell victim to the Institute's early research programs. She doesn't trust anyone tied to power-especially Kai Caldwell, whose father runs the Institute with what seems to be a dark agenda. As strange illnesses begin to spread, and the line between life and death blurs, Kai and Talia are forced together. With secrets, lies, and a deadly outbreak threatening the town, they must decide: who can they trust... and who will survive? Thrilling, morally complex, and with a slow-burn romance, this is a dystopian tale where the cure might be worse than the disease.
A Smile before Rot
Six hearts. One wasteland. And the dead remember everything. The world ended, but the living kept loving. In a land where the rot has a mind of its own, six broken souls claw their way toward hope - or toward each other's destruction. A butcher who forgot how to feel. A bystander who never learned how. A prophet who mistakes obsession for truth. A liar who can't outrun her past. A smiler with blood on her tongue. A scavenger with a desperate heart. The dead are changing. Faster. Smarter. Watching. And in the red hush before the final collapse, something old is waiting to be born.
What Remains
You've been alone so long, you've forgotten how to be anything else. Cities have become graveyards, and hope is just another thing that gets you killed. You survive by hiding, stealing, and trusting no one-until Dabi chains you to his wrist and makes your fate his own. As you navigate the ruins together, every moment is a fight-for survival, for dominance, for scraps of mercy in a brutal world. But when the line between captor and companion blurs, you realise sometimes the only way out is through the fire.Complete
Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
