QUAD SECRETS, Ilia Malinin
"Victoria Rowe is a human metronome. Reliable. Consistent. And utterly forgettable." To the skating world, eighteen-year-old Victoria Rowe is the girl who never falls-and the girl who never wins. After a devastating twelfth-place finish at the 2025 World Championships, the critics are louder than ever: Victoria is "safe." She's a "double-jump specialist." She's a relic of an era where playing it cool was enough. But Victoria has a secret. In the quiet, midnight hours of frozen rinks, she isn't the ballerina Arthur, her controlling coach, wants her to be. She is a powerhouse landing quads that aren't supposed to be possible. Fed up with the labels and the limitations, Victoria makes a choice that shocks the skating world: she leaves the only coach she's ever known for the high-velocity camp of Tatiana Malinina. Training alongside the "Quad God" himself, Ilia Malinin, Victoria must do more than just find her technical edge-she has to find her voice. From the Grand Prix circuit to the bright lights of the 2026 Olympics, Victoria is no longer playing for a clean sheet. She's playing for a revolution. Because the only thing more dangerous than a girl who can jump is a girl who has nothing left to lose. number 1 in #figureskating on 02/09/26 number 1 in #skating on 02/10/26 number 1 in #ilia on 02/10/26 number 1 in #milan on 02/10/26 number 1 in #teamusa on 02/20/26 number 1 in #winterolympics on 02/22/26 *Please keep in mind that I myself am not a figure skater!

Ameliorate ✦ One Piece
Akira had learned long ago that dreams were a pointless thing and wishful thinking a lost cause. The goal of her life had been determined for her by others. To serve and to obey. Long ago she'd given up on the idea of freedom, of ever having the power over herself to be and do whatever she wanted. But then, by some miracle, a chance appeared to her. A surprise heist proved just the distraction she needed. All she intended to do was escape. Not get roped in on a dangerous quest that could become the adventure of a lifetime. But perhaps that was what she needed. Maybe on a ship with a ragtag group of dreamers was exactly where she was meant to end up. Because what else are you to do when your own dream becomes to actually find one? ----- [One Piece (Netflix) - Season 1+] [Canon character (mystery) / OC] [S2 started: 13/03/26] [S1 finished: 02/11/23]
A Spark Of Scandal ¹ |A.B|
In a world ruled by decorum, duty, and whispered scandal, Valentina Rose Featherington has mastered the art of composure. The eldest Featherington daughter and the undeniable diamond of her season, she is admired for her beauty - but it is her intellect that truly unsettles society. She reads philosophy in secret, debates with precision, and refuses to marry for anything less than respect and equal regard. Anthony Bridgerton, Viscount and reluctant romantic, has long since decided that love is a liability. Bound by duty to his family name, he approaches marriage as strategy practical, controlled, emotionless. There is only one complication. Valentina has known him since childhood. She remembers the boy beneath the title. He remembers the girl who never once feared him. Their reunion during her season is anything but gentle. Every ballroom glance is sharpened by history. Every argument is layered with something dangerously close to longing. She challenges his authority; he tests her composure. Society sees rivalry. What it does not see is the way his jaw tightens when another man claims her dance. Or how her breath falters when he steps too close. Anthony insists she is impossible. Valentina insists he is infuriating. Yet neither can ignore the truth: their animosity masks a devotion neither has the courage to confess. As suitors close in and expectations mount, Valentina must decide whether she will choose security... or the man who both infuriates and understands her more than anyone alive. And Anthony must confront the very thing he fears most - not scandal, not society, but loving someone so fiercely it threatens to undo him. What begins as a battle of wit and will becomes something far more perilous: A love forged in fire. A bond built on history. A passion that refuses to be denied. Because sometimes the greatest danger is not falling in love It is realizing you have been in love all along.

I even got an awesome cursed technique! Time to join the protagonist squad!" All she had to do now was wait for recruitment. After all, wasn't a certain irresponsible white-haired teacher supposed to show up and bring talented kids to Jujutsu High? So she waited. And waited. And waited. "Why hasn't that white-haired teacher come to pick me up yet?! Hurry up and take me to Jujutsu High already!" But instead of an invitation... She attracted the attention of curse users. Now she's being hunted. Constantly. "Where are you, Gojo Satoru?! If Tokyo Jujutsu High won't take me, what about Kyoto?! Somebody recruit me already, please!!" When her life finally becomes impossible to maintain thanks to endless attacks, Yuki reaches a devastating conclusion: "This JJK production crew is way too dangerous! I quit the protagonist team!" And just before she walks into the darkness to fight it on her own terms, she glances back one last time at the school she once dreamed of joining. With tears in her eyes, she shouts toward the sky- "Gojo Satoru! Do you even know what you've lost?!" *** Gojo Satoru was born the strongest.

That person was immune. Sorcerers stand for justice. That person simply turned around, and walked into the darkness. Her name was Nagashima Yuki.
