In the abandoned world of Alice in Borderland, survival is determined by a simple rule: play the game or die.
Every player has a specialty.
Spades rely on strength.
Diamonds trust logic.
Clubs depend on teamwork.
Hearts destroy you from the inside out.
Everyone belongs to a suit.
Everyone except her.
No one knows where she came from. No one knows how she keeps surviving games that should have killed her long ago. Some players swear she fights like a Spade. Others insist she solves puzzles like a Diamond. A few believe she's far too good at reading people not to be a Heart.
But the truth is far more dangerous.
She isn't any suit.
She's something else entirely.
And in Borderland, being unpredictable might be the deadliest advantage of all.
While most players struggle to stay alive one more night, one man watches her with quiet curiosity. Brilliant, detached, and dangerously observant, Shuntaro Chishiya has spent his time in Borderland studying people the same way others study the games.
Patterns make survival possible.
Except she has none.
The more he watches her, the more impossible she becomes to understand. She wins games she shouldn't. Loses games she could easily beat. And somehow always walks away alive.
To Chishiya, she isn't just another player.
She's a puzzle.
But in a world built on manipulation, betrayal, and deadly choices, curiosity can be just as dangerous as the games themselves.
Because the closer Chishiya gets to the mysterious girl everyone fears...
...the closer he gets to uncovering the one secret that could change everything.
The girl with no suit.
The one player Borderland was never meant to have.

The Freak Circus x Reader
You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...

MURMUR || F, Langdon
A heart murmur is the secret sound beneath the steady rhythm - the quiet confession the heart makes when it can no longer beat in silence. Not loud enough to alarm, but impossible to ignore once heard.
Svenja vs Thrawn
The New Republic is fracturing. The First Order is rising. Svenja Kroenke, a young officer, talented yet humble, trained in robotics and command systems, is pulled from Earth - by an ancient mysterious Order older than the Jedi - into a conflict where victory is never clean and every decision leaves a residue. Across the board stands Thrawn: brilliant, patient, and convinced that stability matters more than mercy. His enemies are gone or cornered, and the galaxy is running out of room to stop him. This is not a story of chosen ones or easy triumphs, but of strategic warfare, political friction, and the quiet weight of responsibility. For readers who enjoy competence-driven science fiction, moral complexity, and space battles where outcomes are shaped long before the first shot is fired. Svenja vs Thrawn is not a story of easy heroes or simple battles, but of intelligence under constraint, institutional pressure, and the moral weight of decisions that cannot be undone. For readers who prefer restraint over spectacle, and consequence over comfort.

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!
