Thorns and Starlight
An all-ages tale of survival, friendship, and a forbidden spark beneath the forest canopy.
Abandoned at the age of five, Pixie has spent her life surviving in the depths of the wild forest, sharpening her instincts and her blades in equal measure. The trees have been her shelter, the shadows her teachers. She trusts no one-until she meets Star, a soft-spoken wanderer with a mysterious past and a light in his eyes that feels like home.
As the two forge an unlikely friendship, their bond deepens into something neither of them dares to name. But the forest holds secrets older than either of them, and danger stirs beneath the soil. When fate pulls them into a journey beyond the trees, Pixie must choose between the armor she's built and the heart she's hidden.
Can love bloom in a world that's never been kind?

The Heart Beyond the Veilwood
Eighteen-year-old Jessica has always felt the pull of the forest. Living at the edge of the forest of the wild, she's heard the warnings her whole life: never cross into the monster's side. But when danger strikes and she's forced beyond the border, she discovers a world far stranger-and more beautiful-than she ever imagined. Wounded and alone, Jessica is saved by Zackariah, a mysterious guardian of the forest with eyes like a stormlight and a soul shaped by solitude. He is not entirely human... and not entirely monster. Bound to the Veilwood by ancient magic, Zackariah never expected to care for a human - let alone risk everything to save one. As Jessica heals in the hidden sanctuary of the wood elves, she and Zackariah find themselves drawn together by a bond neither can explain... and a love that defies the rules of both their worlds. But with danger closing in, and old powers stirring in the trees, their connection may not be enough. To stay together, they'll have to choose: the safety of what they've always known... or the wild, uncertain path of the heart. Some stories begin on the edge of the unknown. This one begins just beyond it. This work originally mine @copyright (this is my first story)Complete
When Petals Turn To Ash
"You... love him?" Ash's voice cracked. Serena looked away, guilt flashing across her face. "Ash... you've always been kind, and you've always tried your best. But... you're not strong enough. You're always chasing your dream, but never reaching it. I... I can't keep waiting." Those words stabbed deeper than any blade. Pikachu growled in anger, but Ash put a trembling hand on his partner to stop him. "I thought..." Ash whispered, his voice shaking. "I thought we were in this together." Serena bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry, Ash. But I need someone who's already strong... someone who can protect me, who can actually stand at the top. You're still just... dreaming." Her words echoed like poison in his ears. Ash turned away, his eyes burning, but no tears fell. Not yet. That night, as he left Lumiose City behind, his heart had hardened. For the first time in his life, Ash didn't just want to be the very best-he needed to be. Not for fun, not for adventure, not even for his friends. He wanted to prove Serena wrong. He wanted revenge. And so began his journey-not as the boy chasing dreams, but as the man who would crush them. His eyes set on the Pokémon Masters Tournament, the first one to ever occur, the place where only the strongest survived, the place where the strongest will be born. This time, Ash swore he wouldn't lose. This time, he would stand at the top. And when he did... Serena would see what she had thrown away.

Bruises, Cuts & Scars
I was never supposed to see the other side of the forest. And I definitely wasn't supposed to fall for a princess. One accidental step through a hidden gate, and my scars turned to gold, my blood to gemstones-and my life into a political weapon. Now I'm caught between the human world and the Fae court, where beauty hides deadly ambition and alliances are as fragile as glass. The Queen's enemies want to use me. Her daughter wants to protect me. And every choice I make pulls me deeper into a game I don't understand. In the Celestial Veil, secrets have teeth, magic has a price, and even love can be dangerous. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses - a slow-burn, high-stakes romantic fantasy filled with court intrigue, hidden magic, and a heroine who must decide if surviving means staying human... or becoming something more.
Bonds Beyond Time
After a tough loss in the Kalos League, Ash is feeling more than a little down-even with Serena and Pikachu by his side. But Delia, ever the overprotective and slightly dramatic mother, decides the only solution is to call in reinforcements: all of Ash's friends, rivals, and a few unexpected guests, gathered to cheer him up. From his longtime rivals and best friends Misty and Gary, to his big-brother figure Brock, to his little-sister-like companions Dawn and May, and even the surprising appearances of Paul and Drew, everyone shows up for Ash. What was meant to be a simple reunion-and a little pity party-quickly spirals out of control. Chaos, drama, and laughter follow Ash wherever he goes, and somehow, this ordinary gathering ends up becoming a wild trip 10 years into the future. Full of humor, heartfelt moments, and unexpected twists, this story explores friendship, growth, and what happens when life refuses to stay ordinary-even for Ash.

Misty (smirking): "Well, Professor Ketchum, I just hope you teach better than you stare." --- But behind their teasing remarks and heated glares, a slow-burning connection starts to grow. Ash tries to stay professional, but every conversation, every accidental touch, every challenge Misty throws his way... pulls him closer. Ash (to himself): "She drives me crazy... but I can't stop thinking about her." Misty (to her friend): "I don't know what it is... he's annoying, always correcting me, but... why does my heart race when he smiles?" --- As secrets unravel and bonds deepen, they find themselves caught in a forbidden yet irresistible storm of love - one that threatens rules, reputations, and everything they thought they knew about their paths.
