""No." He turns toward me, eyes focused. "No, that's a gift. If you can take in that much and somehow protect people with it, that's strength. That's humanity." He takes a breath. "That's you.""
Vessel's lives and breathes empathy. When she touches anyone, she absorbs all of their physical and mental agony and repurposes it as energy, numbing the wounded. Caring for a person more means feeling their pain more, so when Vessel numbs those she loves, she becomes the most dangerous person on the planet.
When a trip to Washington pushes her away from her mentor and past her breaking point, she's forced into the orbit of Mark; and for the first time in her life, she has a choice: the man who shaped her, or the one who might finally understand her.

(I started writing this story when I first discovered Invincible in May of 2025. Since then, I'd gone on to finish my undergrad in creative writing, and focused on other writing projects, leaving this one behind. Season four reignited my inspiration for Vessel so I came back and made many changes to the writing itself. If you've already read the older version: don't fret! The underlying story will remain the same, but I do encourage you to reread if you enjoyed it, because it'll definitely have way more going on)!

INTERLINKED || nishimura riki
They say some memories fade, but hers never did. Years later, a pair of eyes she thought she'd never see again pulls her back into a moment that changed everything. She's caught in the cycle of ordinary days-classes, work, and the weight of a family that feels more like a shadow. He's living the life millions dream of-stages, lights, and endless expectations that never let him breathe. Two lives that couldn't be more different, yet something keeps pulling them closer, like invisible threads that never snapped. In the blur of exhaustion, hidden feelings, and fleeting glances, they discover that some connections aren't meant to be forgotten. They're meant to be found. They're meant to stay- interlinked. ᥫ᭡. @elmonium started: 23.10.2025 ended:
The Girl Who Made Life Worth Living
Finn has been the man of the house since he was a child. Simply surviving, he doesn't want any more responsibility than he's already burdened with at 18 - until he helps a mysterious abused girl he met near his new workplace. His caring and protective nature quickly brings her into his life but their budding relationship falls apart just as fast, until an incident and the subsequent events make them slowly come back together. Later, when Finn loses the only other thing he cares about in life he's faced with the choice of driving her away or being vulnerable enough to depend on her. Maybe she can finally make him feel taken care of back; the one thing that he's always truly needed. A more mature and healthy rewrite of a book I started writing when I was 14, inspired by the trashy, dramatic, emo love stories I was obsessed with on this platform a decade ago. I was dealing with a lot at the time so I came up with this book idea, where both main characters have dramatized aspects of myself in them, as a way to make myself feel lovable, so writing this now is a nostalgic and creative way of looking back, processing, and letting go of the emotions I was going through as an adolescent. I hope you enjoy!

Midnight Rain
She said it like it was nothing - " This isn't a movie, Emnet. Let me go. But that's exactly why I can't. "I know it's not a movie ,Niv," I whisper, trying to keep my voice steady but failing miserably. " That's why I am still here. Because if I let you go now......there won't be a miracle to bring you back . Not like in the movies. I lose you , and thats it." ♡♡♡♡♡ She's haunted by her past-memories she never speaks of, scars she's learned to hide behind ambition and diplomacy. Falling in love? That was never part of the plan. Especially not with him. But he makes her forget the weight she carries... even if just for a moment. All she wants is a happy ending-one where she isn't a burden, where love doesn't come with guilt. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ He's a man who's spent his whole life being needed, but never truly loved. Calculative, cold to the world-but from the moment he saw her, something shifted. She's the exception. The ache. The soft spot he never thought he'd have. And he'll love her in every way she never believed she deserved. But was this just a fleeting connection between two lonely souls? Or something deeper-something that might finally silence the noise in their heads? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Invincible Presents: Forged In Iron (Male Reader Insert)
"A world of gods and monsters was never meant for men. But if strength alone isn't enough... then I'll build my own way to stand among them." In a world where power is everything, Y/N L/N was never meant to stand alongside legends. No super strength, no alien blood-just a mind sharp enough to tear reality apart if he wanted to. But when his best friend, Mark Grayson, steps into the world of heroes, Y/N refuses to be left behind. With stolen blueprints, cutting-edge tech, and a little reckless ingenuity, he builds something the world has never seen-a combat suit strong enough to go toe-to-toe with gods. Armed with his own brand of firepower and Rachel Roth, a girl with abilities even she barely understands, Y/N steps into the fight as Ironclad, proving that heroes aren't just born. Some must be Forged In Iron

𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 1 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 ♡𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞♡ 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝐀𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞, the 𝑪𝑬𝑶 of 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆, on her path to achieving her goal of becoming the next diamond queen, suddenly faced an unexpected turn of events that sent her straight back to what she always dreaded: marriage. She wasn't gamophobic or philophobic, but the thought of sharing her space, time, and life with someone intimately made her nauseous. But life never goes the way we desire-especially not when we're stubborn enough to resist what it demands. She had dodged relationships in the past like a soldier dodges bullets, but now it seemed inevitable. She had dreamt many things-good, bad, lucky, unlucky-but never imagined being married at the age of 32, that too to someone younger than her. Enter 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐡. Looks like a cinnamon roll, is exactly a cinnamon roll. He could've been the golden child of his parents if he hadn't chosen to be a 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓. Coming from a family of diamond merchants, it was rebellious of him to take such a step-but sometimes young blood, in rebellion, makes the best decisions. He had planned his life perfectly: gain experience, earn money, buy land in North East India, and settle there in the peace of hills and greenery. But oh, my little boy-he is now tied to a marriage he never asked for. And the worst part? He has no idea why someone so beautiful, carrying the aura of buying tens of him, decided to marry 𝒉𝒊𝒎. Not his elder brother. Not any cousin. But him. It wasn't just a shock-it was disbelief. He saw her eyes, and those brown orbs captivated him enough to keep him from noticing the glint of victory behind them. He had never even held a woman's hand in his entire life, yet now being hers made him feel he was in love. But... is she too? What will happen the day he discovers the reason behind the marriageComplete
