(Clayton Beresford x reader)
A year and a half has passed since the attempted murder of Clayton Beresford, yet he remains haunted by the events of that morning. He's become a shadow of his former self: untrusting, closed off, lonely, and even somewhat cruel.
But when he hires Pamela Winters as his personal assistant, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, yearning for her presence. Can she earn his trust and dismantle the wall he's built to shield himself? Will she be the one to make his second chance at life truly worth living?

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 // AU Link Click
Hii !! I have written a Link Click AU for y'all! It's pretty much just a slice of life since the actual donghua is too traumatic- But yeah all the characters are friendly and they're all a friend group because I wrote da fanfic I make da rules (lol). If there's any specific details you want me to add I take requests in the request section! (As long as it's not smut as of now). And yeah updates every so often when I feel like it! Each part is pretty short, but usually I post a few parts at once. Hope you enjoy it !! :D Also I might get a little uncreative with the titles so my sincerest apologies !! Contains: - fluff - veinfei - shiguang / guangshi (switch) Characters and cover art aren't mine oohahaha (sorry that laugh was weird-). UPDATE: Didn't think I needed to say this but none of this is AI generated! It is all by me and this is just my writing style. I got a few comments saying it sounded ai generated (they're deleted so you won't find them) 'cause of all the em dashes (-) and stuffs like that but no I just use a lot of em dashes. XD

Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
