Beneath the iron fist of Gilead, where silence screams louder than any cry, Guardian Nick Blaine is drowning in the aftermath of Eden's tragic fate. Haunted by forbidden memories and shackled by his own dangerous secrets, he finds himself thrust into a chilling new reality: a mandated marriage to the enigmatic Charity, the baker's daughter.
Who is this woman with eyes the color of moss and a quiet strength that belies the oppressive world she inhabits? Is she merely another pawn in Gilead's cruel game, or does she harbor secrets as dangerous as Nick's own?
As Gilead tightens its grip, Nick navigates a treacherous landscape of loyalty and rebellion, his past entangling with a future he never envisioned. Can he find solace in the arms of a stranger, or will their forced union become another battleground in his silent war against the regime? What sparks will fly between a haunted Guardian and a woman who moves like a phantom, her kindness a fragile shield against Gilead's darkness?
Step into a world where love is a crime, and survival demands impossible choices. Uncover the shadows in the silence and the whispers in the flour, where the fate of two souls hangs precariously in the balance. Will their unexpected connection ignite a spark of defiance, or will Gilead extinguish their fragile hope before it can even begin to bloom?

The Shadows Of Illusions
She carries scars no one sees. He carries secrets no one survives. When their paths collide, it isn't fate-it's a collision of two broken histories trying to rewrite themselves. She's spent years running from the shadows of her past, the memories that claw at her mind when the world goes quiet. He's spent just as long hiding behind masks, illusions, and the lies he tells to keep everyone at a distance. But the closer they get, the more their pasts begin to unravel-thread by dangerous thread. Every touch feels like a promise. Every silence feels like a confession. Every truth they uncover threatens to destroy the fragile bond forming between them. Because loving him means facing the darkness he's buried. And loving her means confronting the ghosts she's never escaped. Together, they must decide whether their love can survive the weight of the illusions around them... or whether their pasts will pull them back into the shadows for good.
Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

The Grean Household
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

However, too many questions are unanswered, and too many things remain unexplained. And so, she finds herself forced to figure out not only her past but also her future...something Alyviah never thought she'd go through considering the sheltered life she'd had up until one night when she snaps out of a trance that consumed her, only to find herself in the middle of a war that's been brewing for years...a war that she had no idea about, yet played a huge role in.

The Wife's Tale
In Gilead, for both men and women, there are only so many roles. Dictated by birth, by sex, by affiliation, barely by belief. Reagan was a new mother when Gilead took over, and everything in her world fell. Now she finds herself trying to navigate an entire new life. Can she survive the minefield that is this violent place, or will she be yet another soul 'saved' by the mercy of Gilead? Will the man who saves her, keep her contained and content? Or can she, like the few lucky ones, escape to Canada, and see if the love of her life is still alive? #1 #TheHandmaidsTale #5 #dystopian (The Handmaid's Tale fanfiction, based in that world but with original characters. Needless to say, there are VAST creative liberties taken in this, its just for fun. Slow burn with Smut and Trigger warnings. Ongoing with guaranteed weekly updates.)
The Garden of EDEN
Evangeline Dahlia Ehani Nailah Garden. Long name, I know. But that is not why you are here. You are here to hear about a legend. A legend about a powerful witch. Now, although this is indeed a legend, it is very much true. This is her story. *** "Before I begin this story, you must know that The Great Eden was an extremely powerful witch that everyone feared and loved at the same time." "Like you?" I laughed. "Yes, like me." "What else?" "I will tell you more but first you must tell me how you have come to hear about this story." "On my way back from Jillian's a man in a dark coat came to me and told me." "Taraji, what have I told you about associating with strange men?" "But mother-" "What did this man look like?" "I am not quite sure. He had his face covered the whole time. He said that if I wanted to know more about her that I had to talk to you." I looked at Thalia and she knew exactly what to do. I sighed and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back at my children, they had anticipation in their eyes and I could not help but smile. I continued my story. "Now, let us begin. Eden did not really know how powerful she really was. Until one day she was pushed past her limit." Navid scooted closer and a small smile curled up to my lips. "What do you mean?" "You will see once I get to the end." "Continue, please." ****Lengkap
The Gods We Can Touch |Aemond Targaryen x Niece!Reader|
The older twin of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, you were a picture of the maiden, untouched and untainted by man's sins. At least, that was what Alicent Hightower believed when she held you in her arms moments after her old friend's labors. You were her shining light, her dream. Though you were never hers, she believed you were meant to be. What will become of you as time passes and the Queen's shining light grows within the blackened darkness? Will her eldest son's morbid fascination with the light burn the realm? Or will her second son's obsession with the only daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen change the course of the Seven Kingdoms as we know it? "I have outlasted all desire, My dreams and I have grown apart; My grief alone is left entire, The gleamings of an empty heart. The storms of ruthless dispensation Have struck my flowery garland numb, I live in lonely desolation And wonder when my end will come." ☆☆☆☆ All House of the Dragon/A Song of Ice and Fire warnings apply, but I will put specific ones with each chapter. However, there will be depictions of childhood sexual assault and the trauma response/coping mechanisms that can stem from it. You've been warned. The reader does have a name and the typical Targaryen/Strong features, but other than that, the descriptions are vague.
Picking Up The Pieces
Hey guys! This book has been officially published on Amazon. It's available as an ebook or a paperback. The version available on Amazon has been edited and I even changed some of the plot. I'd love it if you went to check it out and maybe even bought it. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BF333KWH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=) Love, Sophia *** "I-" I try to say something, anything, but the words get stuck in my throat when Jonas suddenly grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me awfully close to his face. "Shut it!" Chills shoot down my spine as if someone just dumped a bucket of ice water down the back of my shirt. What is he doing? I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!" I dare to open my eyes a little to see where it's coming from. A tall blond guy, carrying grocery bags is standing a couple yards away. "Yes, I'm talking to you! Step away from the girl right now!" *** The story of two broken souls- Madeleine Evans, a college student in an abusive relationship, and Elias Sanders, a soldier suffering from PTSD- trying to pick up their own and each other's pieces.
