When Clara opens her eyes, the world is gone-replaced by a staircase that rises into mist and vanishes below into silence. Each step glows faintly under her bare feet, appearing only when she dares to move forward. Guided by a golden retriever who knows the way and a black cat who knows the questions, she ascends through shifting landscapes of memory: a garden tended by kindness itself, mirrors that replay her life, a storm that strips away everything she once was.
With every climb, the hum of a distant heartbeat grows louder. Somewhere, far below, machines keep time. Somewhere, someone calls her name.
Lyrical, haunting, and quietly redemptive, The Stairs Between Heartbeats traces one woman's passage through the space between life and death-the fragile stairway built from love, loss, and the memories that refuse to fade. It is a story about remembering what matters most, and finding the courage to return when the light invites you to stay.

Through The Labyrinth Of Loss
In a world where grief takes form and shadows breathe, a young woman awakens in the ruins of a love that once defined her. The air is heavy with echoes of what was, and the path forward winds through a labyrinth born of her own sorrow. Haunted by memories and pursued by the specters of anger, regret, and longing, she must journey through a shifting landscape where the boundaries between heart and myth blur. Rivers whisper secrets, mirrors reveal truths too painful to face, and the labyrinth itself seems alive-feeding on her despair yet guiding her toward understanding. Each turn leads her deeper into both magic and memory, where love is not simply found or lost, but transformed. To escape the labyrinth, she must confront not only the ghosts of the one she loved but the fragments of herself left behind. In the twilight between shadow and dawn, she learns that healing is not the forgetting of pain-but the weaving of it into something beautiful. Through the Labyrinth of Loss is a darkly poetic fantasy about grief, love, and the fragile alchemy of becoming whole again.
Daggerheart I Sebastian Sallow x FMC
[COMPLETED] Some witches are born to cast spells. She was forged to survive them. When fifth-year Elaine Aryndell arrives at Hogwarts, she carries more than scars - she carries ancient magic she was never meant to wield. Trained to fight without spells and haunted by her past, Elaine is thrust into a growing war against goblins, poachers, and power long buried beneath the castle. As her bond with Sebastian Sallow deepens, so does the danger, within and without. With Hogwarts at risk and her soul unraveling, Elaine must decide: will she be the weapon everyone fears, or the witch who breaks the cycle? ༓☾༓༒༓☽༓ This is my take on the Hogwarts Legacy story, with lots of classroom banter and bonding between the students. Since we've all played the game and know what happens during the trials, the overall story will be shortened, merged, or even skipped. The focus here is more on character interactions and later what happens after the goblin attack. If you're coming from The Heart of The Well and don't want to go through everything I'd suggest you start with the Chapter 37: It Feels Like Dying (this is where the split happens)Concluída
The World In-Between

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.Concluída

The Unfinished Chronicles
In a parallel dimension where the ethereal realm of creativity intertwined with the tangible world, a peculiar phenomenon emerged-the World of Half-Written Novels. This mystical domain, shrouded in the mist of imagination, was a repository for stories left dangling like cobwebs in the corners of writers' minds. In this whimsical land, characters from abandoned tales roamed freely, yearning for resolution. Half-finished plots danced through the air like elusive butterflies, teasing the senses of those who dared to venture into this literary labyrinth. Among these wanderers was Clara MacKenzie, the Seeker of Endings, determined to bring closure to these fragmented narratives. Clara was not alone on her quest. She was accompanied by a colorful ensemble of characters, each with their own unique charm and abilities. Nero, the rogue turned hero, whose cloak was woven from the threads of countless legends and who wielded the Sword of Resurgence with an oath to protect untold stories. Feline Purrfecta, the talking cat with eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge, gifted with the tongue of all creatures and able to sense the threads of destiny through her whiskers. Lyra, whose starlit hair shimmered with an ethereal light, born of stardust and moonbeams, capable of mending the fabric of reality with a touch.
