Gavin was just trying to survive vet school. Second was just trying to avoid responsibility, her ex-title, and her emotionally constipated father. Neither of them planned on saving a realm, fighting soul beasts, or falling in love somewhere between a prophecy and a pub crawl-but here we are.
Second-formerly known as Cody-was never the chosen one, but try telling that to a realm on the brink of collapse and a war-bent father who really wanted her to marry for politics. Sharp-witted, emotionally allergic, and allergic to most social niceties, Second just wanted to live quietly, preferably near a tavern with good bread. Instead, she helped rewrite a kingdom's fate with a sword in one hand and a punchline in the other. She got her name back-but more importantly, she got to choose what it meant.
Gavin, meanwhile, only ever wanted to help animals. The fact that she ended up bonded to a soul-guardian and became the first Hollow Sentinel wasn't exactly on her five-year plan. Somewhere between studying for clinicals, chasing ghostlight storms, and hiding her magic tattoos under her scrubs, Gavin managed to carry a dying realm, hold herself together, and still find time to feed stray rabbits. She's quiet, steady, and surprisingly terrifying when she's angry-especially if you flirt with her girlfriend.
Together, they saved the world. Now they just have to learn how to live in it.
A story of soft magic, stubborn girls, and love that refuses to wait for the perfect moment-this is for anyone who's ever fallen for the chaos and stayed for the quiet.

The Next Page (Ang huling pahina) [Siyete]
Sheena Catacutan x Fem reader At 21, Sheena Mae Catacutan lives life like a dance-fluid, loud, and full of light. She's the kind of girl who walks into a room and makes it feel like summer, all sunshine and laughter, the bubbly jokerist everyone leans on. A dancer since she could walk and the emotional glue of her chaotic circle of friends, Sheena hides her deepest fears behind rhythm and punchlines. She's never known silence, never questioned her joy-until she stumbles into the university's forgotten library wing one rainy afternoon. There, covered in dust and time, is a book with no author. Only a title etched in fading gold: "The Next Page." Curiosity trumps reason. She opens it. Inside, a story unfolds-a dancer named Sera, all sunshine and sass, meets a quiet girl named Gia, a cancer survivor who hides her body and brilliance behind oversized hoodies and self-doubt. Sera sees her. Pulls her into the light. Teaches her how to dance again, how to live again. It's beautiful, heart-wrenching, eerily... familiar. Too familiar. Sheena keeps reading, chapter after chapter, drawn into the uncanny parallels-Sera's jokes, her moves, even the way she argues. It's her. And Gia? Someone she hasn't met... yet. Not until a few weeks later, when she crosses paths with Y/N Ricalde-Vergara, a soft-spoken girl with a voice she barely uses and eyes that carry the weight of someone who's fought wars no one saw. She's brilliant. Talented. Broken in ways she never talks about. And Sheena? She's instantly drawn to her. It should've been a meet-cute. But the moment Sheena sees her-really sees her-the book falls out of her bag. Same girl. Same smile. Same sadness. Unknowingly, Sheena has begun living the prophecy of the book she found. And every page that turns is a step closer to something beautiful... or something heartbreaking. Because some books aren't just stories. Some books write you.Complete

But when Jarelis receives a distressing cry for help from her sister, she embarks into the city to petition the god who whisked her away. They strike a deal: her sister's life in return for that of Princess Ifera, the Chosen Enchantress. Ifera is convinced that her father chose wrong when he chose her to rule over Musteri. For one thing, the magical talisman that she's supposed to use to legitimize her authority doesn't seem to want to work for her.

Only when Jarelis tries to kill her, she realizes she can't. Not without rendering herself dead in the process. If Jarelis wants to kill her, she has to seek out a way to unbind their souls.
