Queen Of Ashes-Turning Pain Into Power
I believed many things in life but luck isn't one of them, until I met him. I never thought I would want to protect someone other than my family but he became the king in the game of chess where I was the queen. And a queen would always protect her king. A game, they started but I'll finish and win. I vowed to protect her. She isn't the black or white. She is the gray, the lightest shade. With all the white and hints of black. Siphoning my black, but never changing her shade. She is the sun peeking through the clouds. Giving enough light to see things through, not like bright sunshine that burns the skin neither hiding behind the clouds. Just enough.

The Sicilian Rivalry
Kira and Gukesh-two geniuses in a duel of wit, ego, and unspoken obsession. She'd rather fight dragons than admit she notices him. He'd rather calculate the universe than admit she makes it spin. Every clash is a love letter in disguise, every glare a confession too stubborn to speak. Enemies? Absolutely. Lovers? Accidentally. And somehow, chaos looks good on both of them.Complete
WHEN WE WERE BLUE
They were opposites in the simplest ways. She danced like she could chase away every worry, with loud laughter, a messy bun, and sneakers scuffed from every after-class rehearsal. He, on the other hand, spoke softly, his words often lost in notebooks filled with half-written poems. They weren't top students, just the kind who stayed after school for clubs and projects, sitting on classroom floors, sharing snacks and stories. She moved to the rhythm of music, and he moved to the rhythm of his thoughts. She called him "Mr. Poet." He called her "Blue Ribbon" because she always wore one in her hair. They never really said "I like you," but maybe in the way she danced to his words and he smiled at her laughter, it was enough
