When Mira and her boyfriend, Karan, decide to go on a photography retreat to a remote village nestled in the Sahayadri forests, she expects a quiet escape-mist-laced mornings, tangled woods, and maybe a few hauntingly beautiful shots for her portfolio.
But the village is not as untouched as it seems. The children play strange games. The villagers speak in half-truths. And Karan...Karan is changing.
Drawn deeper into the forest-and into Karan's past-Mira begins to unravel a chilling legacy of rituals, sacrifice, and a forgotten girl named Devika.
With time blurring and shadows whispering, Mira must decide what's real, what's a myth....and whether love is enough when the forest wants something more.
Shuttered Secrets is a slow-burn psychosocial horror wrapped in folklore and fog. A tale of love, memory, and a place that never let go.

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Complete

Only You. Six years ago, Shaurya vanished without a word. No goodbyes, no explanations-just silence that shattered Ruhani's world. Now, fate drags them back into the same orbit in a sprawling Indian wedding where laughter, secrets, and unspoken glances collide. He's no longer the carefree boy she once knew-he's colder, sharper, hiding shadows she can't reach. She's no longer the girl who waited-she's built her walls, but his presence cracks every one of them.

A story of missed chances, second glances, and a love that refuses to die. It's my first attempt to write, please give it a read and a review and let me know if you guys want to know more!

Tere Mere Darmiyaan
✨ Tere Mere Darmiyaan ✨ It takes only a moment for everything to change. A scream. A mistake. And lives that don't get a second chance. Ganga Mishra was stepping into the world for the first time-quiet dreams, simple hopes, a heart that hadn't yet learned fear. She never wanted to hurt anyone. But some things happen without permission, leaving behind a weight she doesn't know how to carry. Vikrant Dev Chauhan is a man people know better than to cross. They fear him. Silent, controlled, ruthless when crossed, he has buried his emotions beneath loyalty and bloodstained truths. When loss tears through his family, grief hardens into anger-and that anger needs somewhere to go. What begins with blame slowly shifts into something neither of them understands. Closeness feels wrong. Distance feels impossible. Between them lies pain, silence, and truths neither is ready to face. Set in Varanasi-where faith lives in every corner and darkness isn't far behind-Tere Mere Darmiyaan is a story of guilt and loss, of love that arrives uninvited, and of two people caught between what they feel and what they cannot forgive. Because sometimes, what lies between you and me is not an ending at all- but the beginning of something neither of us expected.
