When Ivy first downloaded Valorant on her hand-me-down laptop, she didn't expect much. The screen barely ran at 12 FPS, and she could barely shoot straight. But she liked Sage. quiet, helpful, invisible. Like her.
Placing Iron 1 was no surprise. Climbing to Bronze 3? That took everything including letting a guy named Reid carry her. His trio welcomed her... sort of. His best friend hated her, his girlfriend constantly made digs, and one of the other guys was only nice to her when no one else was looking.
Ivy thought it was better than nothing.
Until the jokes stopped being funny.
Until she stopped feeling safe.
Until she left.
She disappeared for months. Got a real PC. Started streaming. Climbed on her own. Quiet. Solo. Anonymous. Until one night in Diamond, she queued into a ranked match...
And it was them.
Reid. His best friend.
And the guy who was nice to her once.
This time, Ivy wasn't the same girl they used to carry.
And she wasn't stopping at Diamoned.

Weathered Love

Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete

Bitter Sweet
"Get out," he sighed. "N-" I got out. "Nah, you can go," he shook his head. "Babe," I called out, but he wasn't having it. "I fucking risked my life trying to protect you. I almost died trying to save you! And when I couldn't, I sat by your side everyday until you could recover! Get the fuck outta here witfh that no contact shit," he shook his head. "B-but," I sobbed. "Nah, Sage," he shook his head. "I attended your stupid relationship therapy sessions hoping you'd at least give me a chance. You asked me to choose, and I chose you. It didn't even feel like a choice! I always put you first! You still won't give me a fucking chance. What more do you want from me? Huh?" "Your forgiveness," I replied, a tear escaping my eye. "Forgiveness?" he chuckled while shaking his head. He took something up and flung it at the door again. "God, Sage," he shook his head. "Please, just leave. Maybe then I can stop hurting." "Nick," I sobbed, but he wouldn't even look at me. "You obviously don't care how I feel. You're gonna do you no matter what. I honestly expected better from you," he said. "Just get the fuck out my face."Complete

A desire called Her
What happens when the bright, beautiful life you once knew suddenly turns dark? When betrayal tears apart everything you believed in, how do you survive when even breathing feels like a burden? Veronica had always been the girl with the golden heart. She never deliberately hurt anyone, yet betrayal seemed determined to find her at every turn. Broken beyond repair, she learned the hardest lesson of all: Sometimes, the people you love the most are the ones capable of destroying you. And then there was Nathan. A ruthless billionaire who was accustomed to getting whatever he wanted-and what he wanted was Veronica. Her beauty. Her innocence. Her. Nathan had the power to pull every string necessary to have Veronica within his reach. But possessing her physically was easy. Winning her heart was another story. Just when Veronica thought she had nothing left to lose, another betrayal shattered what remained of her. Except this time, something changed. The girl with the golden heart disappeared. And in her place was a fighter. Years passed. Misunderstandings drove two people who once loved each other apart, leaving behind nothing but pain, hatred, and unanswered questions. Until fate brought Veronica and Nathan face-to-face again. The love they had buried was still there-but so were the anger, the wounds, and the desire for revenge. And now, neither of them was willing to surrender. But when the people who betrayed Veronica return, a dangerous love triangle begins to unfold, and the game suddenly becomes far more complicated than either of them expected. This time, the old Veronica is gone. This time, the game is equal. And this time, love may not be enough to save them. Can their love survive betrayal, revenge, and the secrets that tore them apart-or will the game destroy them both?Complete
