I am the pastor's daughter.
I don't drink. I don't party. I don't wear jewelry. My skirts are long. My hair is short. My life is a sermon everyone else gets to preach.
But I bought a single earring.
It cost less than a sachet of milk. I hid it under my pillow. I wore it only at night, when the house was quiet and the lights were off. For three days, I felt like a person instead of a symbol.
Then I got caught.
And I realized that in my house, shining is a sin.
This is not a story about running away from God. It's a story about trying to find myself in a house full of rules. It's a scrapbook of late-night thoughts, silent rebellions, and the question that haunts me:
What happens when a flower decides to bloom anyway?
Welcome to my diary. Welcome to the hiding.

Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness
She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most. Now, more than four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandmother misses her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought. But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her? A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could. (Originally published on 20th October 2025 Republished on 23rd April 2026)
Little House in the Big Woods
Little House in the Big Woods is the first installment in the classic Little House on the Prairie series, by Laura Ingalls-Wilder. Also, although it is categorized as 'historical fiction', it is not fiction. I am trying to figure out how to add it to 'classics' as it is not available for me.Complete

My Perspective
When Astrid is sure as dawn, as certain as the rising sun, that she'll never cross paths with anyone from her high school again, she decides to breathe a bit, live a bit. You only live once, right?

Ms. Sinclair's Secret
| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"

Deletion of 1940 America: Subtraction in World War II
An alternate scenario of World War II. Typically, these stories involve adding elements, such as equipping Japan with modern technology or granting them knowledge from the future. But that approach feels too conventional, so I tried subtracting instead. I decided to remove the enormous factor that is the United States of America. The result was an entirely different history.

Hogwarts' new Secret
When two strange girls find themselves in a British alleyway, they assume they've been kidnapped. But they soon forget about this in the euphoria of finding two Hogwarts letters in the backpacks their apparent kidnapper forgot to take from them. Unfortunately, the girls soon discover that there is a dark secret about them that they must hide at all costs. Not to mention that they've started hearing voices.... This fan fiction does not have any non-cannon ships concerning the main characters, some side characters may have pairings, unless the pairing contradict cannon. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FANFICTION IS NOT A SHIPPY FIC! If ships is what you want, read something else (but also consider reading this because it is still good without being ship-centric). Discontinued, but if you want to read it, go aheadComplete
