Ongoing, First published Aug 11
Vivienne Sinclair is perfect.
At least, that’s what everyone at Westbrook High believes. She’s the school president, the straight-A student, the girl with the flawless smile. But behind the polished image lies a truth no one can see — nights spent in a hospital room, sleeves hiding faint scars, and a mind that never stops whispering that she’s not enough.

Zane Ryder is trouble.
The kind teachers warn you about. The boy with the cigarettes, the fights, and the dangerous smirk. But trouble is easier than talking about the mother he’s losing to cancer or the sister he’s fighting to protect.

They’re from different worlds — hers built on perfection, his on chaos — and they’re supposed to hate each other. But one night, Zane sees Vivienne’s perfect mask crack in the corner of a convenience store, and neither of them can unsee it.

In a small town where everyone knows your name, keeping secrets is impossible. And some secrets have the power to destroy… or save.

Cold Eyes by koni0lolli
19 parts Ongoing
Her world had never been soft. She'd learned too quickly that people could love you one day and rip the ground out from under you the next. So she built herself out of armor: cool smirks, careless words, the lie that she didn't care. She convinced everyone around her that she was untouchable, that she didn't need anyone to stay. That way, if they left, it wouldn't matter. But the truth was, she longed for the chaos. She trusted it more than stability, because at least chaos was honest. At least when something was toxic, when it was tension-filled and dangerous, you knew exactly where you stood- you knew it could hurt you. What unsettled her more was the idea of something pure, something kind, because that was where betrayal liked to hide. He's cold. She's reckless. And somewhere between jealousy, secrets, and a Halloween Party that changes everything Athena learns that sometimes the scariest thing isn't being hated. It's being wanted. *** Writing for my bestfriend!
If Shadows Could Speak by TmonkYY
40 parts Complete
Eleanor "Ellie" Vance has one goal: survive high school without being noticed. It's a solid plan, until a freak accident involving a fallen power line and a puddle leaves her with a bizarre, unwanted ability: she can hear the innermost thoughts hidden in people's shadows. While a normal person's shadow might whisper about forgotten homework or a secret crush, the shadow of Liam Carter-Northwood High's popular, charismatic golden boy-is screaming. While Liam dazzles the crowd with a perfect smile, his shadow cries out with a crushing loneliness that only Ellie can hear. Drawn into his orbit against her will, Ellie must navigate a world of secrets she never wanted to know. Liam, feeling truly "seen" for the first time, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the quiet girl who seems to understand him better than his closest friends. This is a story about the masks we wear, the quiet desperation they hide, and the unexpected connection that can save us when we let someone see our true shadow.

Amara's world changed in one night, a night that left her body bruised and her soul scarred in ways no one could see. Outwardly, she tries to live as though nothing happened-going to school, smiling when spoken to, pretending she is fine. But inside, she is unraveling. Nightmares stalk her sleep, exhaustion grips her days, and even her body begins to reflect the weight of her unspoken trauma. Her parents notice her fading appetite and restless spirit; her teachers notice her slipping grades. Yet every time someone asks, "Are you okay?" Amara hides behind the same mask: "I'm fine." Beneath that mask, she is anything but fine. She is drowning in silence, desperate for help but terrified to speak. The story follows her quiet struggle-her battle against invisible wounds, her fear of being judged or disbelieved, and her longing for someone to see past the lies she tells. It is a story of pain carried in secret, and the fragile hope that healing might one day break through the darkness.

26 parts Ongoing Mature
At Neo Airis College, perfection is just a mask - one made of gold, secrets, and blood. Kai Smith thought his freshman year would be simple: study hard, make a name for himself outside his famous parents' shadow, and enjoy the luxury of the city's most elite college. But behind the marble walls and glittering dorms of Neo Airis, something dark stirs. Students disappear. Scandals vanish overnight. And every smile hides a motive. Then there's Symair Helsing - the senior everyone whispers about. Brilliant, arrogant, dangerously charming. The son of a man more feared than respected, Symair runs Neo Airis from the shadows with his underground network, The Venturas. Drugs, money, secrets - all of it flows through his hands. And when Kai catches his attention, obsession quickly replaces curiosity. Mariah Seriyani, Kai's fiercely loyal best friend, knows the rumors are true. She's seen things, heard whispers, and even danced too close to the wrong people. But nothing could prepare her for the night of the shooting - or the chain of events that follow. As the line between innocence and corruption blurs, Kai is forced into Symair's world - one of power, passion, and danger - where love feels like a weapon and trust could get you killed. In a college built on lies, they'll have to decide what's worth saving: their crowns... or each other.
