My Girl [ONC 2026]
Anna is the kind of girl people look straight through. At school, on the bus, at home - she exists quietly in the background, where asking for anything comes with a price she learned long ago to stop paying. Even with her best friend, Alice, she never fully steps into the world. She just survives it, carefully and without being noticed. Her life was supposed to stay bland, colourless, manageable. Nothing was supposed to change that. Then she runs into Sophie. And something shifts - not all at once, and not enough to understand, but just enough that it doesn't stop. Anna finds herself pulled toward something she can't name, something her body recognises before her mind can catch up. And the worst part is, she doesn't want it to stop.

A Crown For the Lamb
What would it take... to never bleed as a woman? To stay a child forever? They say you change when you grow. From a girl to a lady. From a shepherd to a queen's sister. From someone free... to someone promised. But I was never told that change could come quietly. Because long ago, a deal was made. A girl was promised. A womb was wagered. I'm Darcy. I chase sheep, throw stones, and read books I'm not supposed to. I laugh loud, I run faster than the boys, and I've never once wanted to be delicate. But the world has other plans. And I think... if you read this, if you follow me through the fields, past the caravans, into the palace gates... you'll see what they've done.To girls like me, to sisters like mine, to the daughters they never saw coming.
