Description:

Lumi Elara Dusk is trapped in a time loop. Every attempt to escape ends in a reset-memories erased, time rewound. But when a stranger, Noir Alexander Vale, appears in her fractured reality, everything begins to shift.

He knows things he shouldn't. He speaks in riddles. And worst of all-he remembers her.

As whispers of a forgotten past resurface, Lumi is forced to confront a truth buried in time. Someone is keeping her here. Someone who refuses to let her go.

But the deeper she falls into the mystery, the closer she gets to the one thing she never expected-Noir.

And when the lines between past and present blur, one question remains: Is she chasing freedom, or is she chasing him?

THE PORTRAIT OF YOU by delusionalworld01
40 parts Complete Mature
After a tragic accident destroys her career and reputation, Ava Vale walks away from the world of interior design and reinvents herself as a traveling restorer of forgotten art, she finds purpose in restoring what others abandoned. She hides behind brushes and varnish, far from the city that broke her spirit-until a call sends her to the crumbling estate of Caelum Thorne, a brilliant painter who vanished years ago. What she expects: a house full of decaying canvases. What she finds: a man still mourning the woman who left him... and a portrait that looks exactly like her. Same face. Same lips. Same haunting beauty. The only difference? The eyes. Ava's are brown. The woman in the painting-Evelyn-had piercing blue. When Callum sees her, he falls apart. "You came back to me," he whispers. But Ava is not Evelyn. She's not a ghost, not a muse, not the girl who left him behind. And yet... he paints her. Again and again. Desperate to reclaim her identity, Ava strikes a deal: She'll help him find Evelyn-if he hands over all of his art. But the longer she stays, the more she sees the man behind the madness. And the more Caelum paints, the more he sees Ava-not the memory. Until one day, Evelyn returns. And Ava must decide if she's strong enough to walk away from a man who never asked her to stay. But behind every portrait... a secret waits to be answered-why did Evelyn leave? A love story layered with obsession, identity, and betrayal. He spent years painting the woman who left. Until a stranger taught him how to love someone who stayed.
Shadowbound Hearts by varshinitae3
11 parts Ongoing
Elara Vance (22) exchanged one prison for another. After years of quiet endurance, the desperate night she fought back and killed her abusive father landed her in Blackwell Penitentiary. Out of place, fragile, and marked by trauma, she craves the anonymity of the stone walls-but anonymity is a luxury Blackwell doesn't afford. The man who truly runs this world of steel and concrete is Asher 'Reyes' Thorne (27). He's an incarcerated crime lord, a kingpin serving multiple life sentences for calculated murders, whose influence flows like a cold current through every cell block. When Asher sees Elara-the quiet, defiant woman with fire in her eyes, jailed for justifiable violence-he doesn't see a victim; he sees a kindred spirit he intends to own. Their relationship begins as a terrifying contract: Asher offers her absolute protection from the brutality of the guards and the cruelty of the inmates. In return, she owes him only her attention. But in the confined, suffocating space of Blackwell, proximity is poison. Their tense, transactional meetings-whispered words across the common room, charged silence in the visiting booths-quickly ignite into a desperate, forbidden need. Elara begins to chip away at the monster, discovering the strategic intelligence and fierce loyalty beneath the calculated darkness. Asher, in turn, finds his iron control shattered by the fragile defiance of the one person he can't truly cage. Shadowbound Hearts is the story of two souls defined by violence, finding dangerous comfort in the one place they are most exposed. In a place where freedom is impossible, they must decide if their forbidden love is the ultimate act of rebellion, or the final, irreversible surrender to the shadows.

In a kingdom where magic is both feared and forbidden, Elara, a young sorceress with uncontrollable powers, has spent her life hiding from the ruthless Magi Order. Haunted by the tragic loss of her family and the dangerous magic that courses through her veins, Elara's only hope is to remain invisible. But when she is captured and imprisoned by the Order, her fate seems sealed-until a mysterious woman with violet eyes frees her, revealing that Elara's powers may be the key to a rebellion that could change the kingdom's future. Kael, a loyal warrior of the Magi Order, has dedicated his life to hunting sorcerers. But when he captures Elara, something within him shifts. Her emerald eyes, filled with fear and defiance, haunt him in ways he never expected. As he is tasked with finding her after her daring escape, Kael must confront his own doubts about the mission, the Order, and the woman he cannot stop thinking about. As Elara is drawn deeper into the rebellion's cause, she must learn to control her powers and decide who she can trust-including Kael, the man sent to capture her. With the kingdom teetering on the edge of war, Elara and Kael find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict that will force them to question everything they know-about their world, their loyalties, and themselves. "Emerald Shadows"is a tale of magic, betrayal, and forbidden love, where the line between friend and foe is as elusive as the shadows in which they hide.
