PROLOGUE
Location: A remote tactical base near the northern border of a fictional war-torn country - Arvenia.
Year: 2027. Eight years into a civil war fueled by fractured power, betrayal, and foreign interference.
The sun doesn't rise here-it crawls. Through smoke and gunmetal skies.
Base 47-Delta isn't on any official map. Surrounded by desert ridges and blood-soaked sand, it's where soldiers are either broken... or reborn.
This is where Lieutenant Jeon Rael and Sergeant Y/N L/N are about to meet. Not as allies. Not yet.
SETTING
Base 47-Delta:
A hidden stronghold near the mountain-dust borders of northern Arvenia.
Constant threat of rebel attacks.
Rations are short. Morale is lower.
Soldiers are rotated out-or body-bagged-faster than anyone gets attached.
This is where high-risk intel meets last-chance operatives.

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
Run and survive
Assi Lara Ikihohto, a Finnish-Turkish woman, lives for anime, webtoons, and Korean dramas-until war shatters her peaceful, pop-culture-filled bubble. As family and friends are lost, she discovers new alliances and learns to fight for her country-partially fueled by a strange mix of psychopathy and laziness that she's learned to call "strategic." Bureaucracy makes her want to scream. Physical activity makes her groan. Most men...you'd expect moans, but what they really get are eye-rolls, except for one who's surprisingly useful. Explosives? Somehow, they're hilariously, ridiculously, dangerously fun. ~~~~ Branches whipped past as they sprinted through the forest. "Drop the fucking backpack!" she snapped. The man tightened his grip on the straps. "No way. I carried this thing for hundreds of kilometers. And now you want me to just leave it?" He barked. "Yes," she shot back. "What the hell-" The other two men yelled almost in unison: "Drop it!" But he shook his head, stubborn. "No chance." Without waiting, the others ripped the backpack from him and threw it aside. He lunged for it, furious. "I'm not leaving that there!" The woman cut him off, grabbing his arm. "Trust me. It's the best choice right now." They bolted through the undergrowth, lungs burning. Behind them, their pursuers came to a halt, eyes fixing on the abandoned pack lying in the mud. She smirked. "Now, stay right th-" Click. The blast ripped through the forest, the shockwave flinging them into the dirt. Leaves and fire rained down. The man lifted his head, face pale with fury. "You made me carry explosives for hundreds of kilometres! Do you realise if that went off early, I'd be dead?" She rolled onto her back, chest heaving, eyes glittering with amusement. "But it didn't."
The Quiet Between Us
While he was gone, she found herself. Essence didn't believe in soft things. Love had always been loud, painful, and temporary. So when Zion - calm, patient, and everything she wasn't used to - showed up in uniform with a quiet kind of peace, she pushed him away. Then he left for deployment. Now, surrounded by base gossip, silence, and everything she never said out loud, Essence is forced to face the one thing that scares her more than falling in love: being loved right. And Zion? He's not sure who he'll be when he comes home - but he knows exactly who he's coming back for. A slow-burn military love story about distance, healing, and the kind of love that waits - even when everything says to let go.Complete
Loving Through The Darkness
He wasn't heartless. Just... unconvinced. Of love. Of women. Of promises that sound too pretty to be true. She wasn't broken. Just quietly aching. To be seen. To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.Complete
The General's Wife - COMPLETED
THE GENERAL Seven days. Just seven days. That was how long it took for Prudence to put a crack in my meticulously built armor. For half of my life, I managed to elude my pursuers-women and enemies alike-by hiding my true identity. And for that same amount of time, I had followed four simple rules: don't let a woman become a distraction, don't become someone's pawn, don't lead by emotion, and don't show mercy unless it is necessary. *** "If you were to ask me about military strategies, I could tell you a dozen ways to defeat your enemies. If you were to ask me about combat, I could show you a dozen ways to defend myself. "But when it comes down to matters of the heart, I have no clue. I don't know how to comfort you. I don't know how to be eloquent about my feelings. "But one thing I can do...is show you."Complete

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.
