The World In-Between by LaDarnellLilith

Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.

Imperfectly Mine by Maisha802

"Love isn't about fixing each other's flaws-it's about finding the beauty in the imperfections and choosing them anyway." In a bustling city filled with noise and distractions, Hael never expected his life to shift when he saw Emily for the first time-buried behind a precarious pile of books. What began as a series of chance encounters blossoms into a story of shared silences, creative collaboration, and unexpected vulnerability. As Hael struggles to reignite his passion for writing, Emily, a freelance editor with a complicated past, finds herself drawn to his unassuming charm and sincerity. Together, they navigate the messy landscapes of self-doubt, heartbreak, and the fear of being seen for who they truly are. Through stolen moments in cafés, late-night walks, and the writing of a short story that becomes a mirror of their own lives, Hael and Emily find more than inspiration-they find each other. But their connection is far from perfect, complicated by lingering fears and misunderstandings. A story of quiet courage, tender imperfections, and the unexpected beauty of love, "Imperfectly Mine" reminds us that the best stories are often the ones we write together.

Winter in Paris by solaraprya

❝You were always my favourite person. ❞ • • • Phoebe wanted nothing more than to get away from her family, so when the opportunity arose, she jumped at it, not knowing what was waiting for her in Paris. Elijah pretended not to like Phoebe, but her smile, her laugh, everything about her made him feel lucky to have seen it. But old feelings never do any good for anyone, don't they? After all though, falling in love is a once in a life time chance. And if there's anything you should know about that, it's that love will consume you. But as everyone says, your past always comes back to haunt you. Either way it will drag you down, and you have the option to sink or swim. The choice is yours whether you ask for help or drown with the guilt you tried to get rid of.

Grim Business by jlhastings

Phoebe’s life is perfect, thank you very much. Okay, so maybe not perfect—the guy she’s had a crush on since she was five doesn’t know she exists, her best friend thinks she’s turning into a werewolf and she’s made an enemy of the most popular girl in school. To make matters worse, she finds out that her father is a Grim, a being who is dedicated to keeping the balance between life and death. When he is kidnapped by a rogue spirit, it’s up to Phoebe to not only save him, but to take on his responsibilities as Grim. Between high school woes and supernatural foes, Phoebe’s hands are more than full. It’s all Grim Business, and she’s not sure she’s up to the challenge.
