Adapting To Survive
Ava has had a promising life. She got excellent grades in high school and got into the competitive college of her dreams. Finally, she was able to pursue her dreams of fashion design, and she's getting far with her internship with "Vogue." Everything was going perfectly. Well, until her long-term boyfriend starts to become distant, and she's all alone. Along with a car accident that changed her life forever, she now has to adapt to survive to make her dreams come true.
The Narwhals
Madeleine "Maddie" Harper never imagined her life would unfold like a slow migration. After years of rejection, restlessness, and suffocating expectations, her long-awaited acceptance to NYU finally cracks open a world she thought would never belong to her. With her best friend Nate heading to Columbia, both carry their own weights-the fear of change, the ghosts of home, and the pressure to prove that leaving was worth it. Like a narwhal breaking through the Arctic ice, Maddie emerges into the unfamiliar waters of New York City-cold, vast, and breathtaking. Narwhals are known as the "unicorns of the sea," elusive and resilient, navigating through extreme environments with quiet grace. Much like them, Maddie learns to survive in the shifting tides of adulthood, adapting to pressures she doesn't fully understand yet, following instinct when direction fails. In her new life, Maddie finds unexpected warmth in friendship-especially in Anastasia "Anne" Elizabeth-Collins, her roommate from the Upper East Side. Anne's world is one of privilege and poise, polished in all the ways Maddie's never been. They clash at first, as opposite as deep sea and sunlight, but soon discover that both are just trying to stay afloat in their own ways. Through alternating perspectives, the story explores how two young women-one learning to belong, the other learning to break free-navigate love, loss, ambition, and identity in a city that demands everything. Together, Maddie and Anne's worlds intertwine like currents beneath the surface-sometimes turbulent, sometimes still-each helping the other find strength in their differences. And like narwhals that travel in small, loyal pods through freezing seas, they remind us that survival isn't about conquering the storm. It's about finding who swims beside you when the ice begins to crack. ⭐️Updated every Saturday and Sunday ⭐️Don't forget to like, comment, share, and stay tuned for the next chapter!

That's Not Very Jane Austen of You
She looked at me, her eyes lingering on my bare chest and then the coffee in my hand and exhaled like this was the final straw in a life she didn't sign up for. "You drank my coffee." I raised the mug slightly. "Good morning to you too." "That was La Cabra. Imported. Limited batch. I was saving it." "I can see why," I said, taking another sip. "It's criminal how fucking good this is." Her eyes narrowed. "Who even are you?" "Severin," I said, smiling. "Seven." I nodded "Sev, if you're in a hurry." I shrugged. "I'm in a lot more than a hurry," she snapped. "You're the guy Amanda brought home last night?" "I must be." I leaned against the counter, lazy grin still in place. "You always greet her guests with this much charm, or am I just special?" She didn't laugh. Not fully. But her jaw twitched like she wanted to. "I've had 3 strangers in this apartment just this week," she said, striding past me. "You're number four. And the only one who had the audacity to drink my entire week's worth of sanity." I watched her move, precise and controlled, like every second counted. "Well," I said, "If it helps, I'm not like the others." She snorted. "You all say that." "No, really. I'm worse. I quote poetry when I'm drunk and sleepwalk through existential crises." ****** Seven and Noelle's Point of View Completed: 28 April 2026 Currently EditingComplete
