Haunted || Wenclair
BOTH SEASONS MENTIONED Nevermore Academy has always been a place of secrets, but none as quiet-or as dangerous-as the ones that bloom in the silence between two roommates. One thrives in sunlight, the other seeks comfort in shadows. They are opposites in every possible way, and yet, in late-night conversations, fleeting touches, and words that linger longer than they should, something begins to grow. It's a slow unraveling-an exploration of walls built too high, of signals half-understood, of the fragile thread between devotion and denial. What starts as coincidence becomes a pattern. What begins as comfort turns into tension. And what should have been ordinary friendship refuses to stay in the dark. This is a story about the quiet moments that change everything, and the dangerous beauty of falling for someone you were never supposed to.Complete

Chained to the Past
Northcrest Academy-one of the most prestigious schools in the region. A sanctuary for the talented, the elite, the academically gifted. Its pride lies at the very top: Class 1-A, a gathering of the brightest minds, the shining stars destined for greatness. But what happens when brilliance begins to rot from within? The same halls that once echoed with laughter and ambition now carry whispers-voices that don't belong to the living. Behind the polished walls and pristine classrooms lurk shadows that grow longer with every passing night. What would happen if the brightest star were to lose its light... not by failure, but by something far more sinister? Would the rest of them follow into the abyss-corrupted, consumed-or will they fight to burn even brighter against the darkness that has already crept inside their perfect academy? Because here at North Crest, reputation isn't the only thing at stake. Sometimes... it's your soul.Complete

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
The Beginning Of The End
A young girl with declining mental health is sent to a mysterious hospital for kids, but not everything seems fine. To strange sounds, weird hallucinations, and an even weirder. Everything is not as it seems but anything can be conquered with friends. This is the first story that I'm actually going to try to write here so I hope you like it.Complete
