Ayla wakes up in the middle of a forest, barefoot and bruised, with no memory of who she is or how she got there.

She stumbles into a quiet town where no one seems to recognize her-except for one man. Riven says they were in love. He says she left. He says she asked to forget.

But nothing adds up. The townspeople avoid her. Whispers follow her through empty streets. And every night, something watches her from the other side of the glass.

As strange visions and broken memories start bleeding into her reality, Ayla begins to question everything-especially Riven. What did she forget? Why did she choose to erase it? And what is the thing outside that never moves... but somehow gets closer?

A slow-burn fantasy romance with mystery, tension, and a touch of the supernatural.
For readers who like eerie towns, unreliable memories, and love stories tangled with dark secrets.

Where Time Forgot Us by forgotten1nk
32 parts Ongoing
What if the dream you couldn't forget... was a memory from a life you never lived? Solene never believed in soulmates, fate, or past lives-until she dreamed of him. A boy with brown eyes. A forgotten notebook. And two simple words: "Found you." She woke up shaken. Days later, she saw him in real life-walking past her like the world hadn't just shifted. But there's one problem: he doesn't know her. Not yet. As strange coincidences unfold and timelines begin to blur, Solene and Cael are pulled into a mystery that feels bigger than either of them-like the universe is trying to remind them of something they once had, and lost. Memories that never happened. Places they've never been... but somehow remember. A love story trapped between versions. Somewhere in all the timelines, they were real. The question is-can they find their way back in this one? A soft, slow-burn romance about love, memory, and the version of us that stays.
The Fall of The Veil by _rainydaywriting_
40 parts Complete Mature
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*
The Demon's Promise by hhddiekshx
34 parts Complete
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.
The Villainess Won't Play by IronyDreams
68 parts Ongoing
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.

Each morning, before the castle awakens, she rides her noble steed across the fields, far from prying eyes. There is, however, one place forbidden to all-a dark and silent river known as the Forbidden River. Whispers speak of those who crossed its waters and vanished without trace. No one dares go near. Yet, Seraphina does not believe in darkness... only in secrets waiting to be unveiled. A slow-burning love supernatural fantasy about hidden powers, forbidden paths, and a princess who dares to challenge the legends of her world.

The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night. Seraphina Duskborne has always felt them watching, lurking just beyond her reach. But when one finally steps into the light, she realizes she was never meant to be ordinary. Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?
