*She asked for freedom and learned what it cost.* ________________________________________ This is a story about three people bound by the same love - and separated by the moment they were ready to choose it. Lisa loved Jennie deeply, but mistook freedom for distance and reassurance for presence. When she asked for space, she didn't realize she was letting go of the one person who had been staying all along. Jennie learned what it meant to stop asking, to stop waiting, and to choose herself without bitterness. In the aftermath, she rebuilt her life piece by piece - discovering that love doesn't disappear when it's quiet, and that being seen can feel like coming home. Chaeyoung had loved Jennie patiently since college, never demanding space, never forcing timing. She stayed when it hurt, waited without disappearing, and arrived not as a replacement - but as someone who was finally met. Told through parallel points of view, this is a story about presence, regret, healing, and the devastating truth that sometimes the greatest love of your life doesn't leave you - you leave it. And sometimes, someone else stays.

Lyra Ondine was born to die. The prophecy was clear: on her twenty-first birthday, her life would end. She had prepared herself for it. What she wasn't prepared for were the assassins who came early... or the man who saved her. Duke Lucien Blackthorn is feared across the empire - cold, untouchable, and cursed to never find love. Taking Lyra into his protection should have been nothing more than strategy. But Lyra is not what he expected. She is kindness in a ruthless court. Moonlight in a house of shadows. And the one thing his curse should never allow him to want. The closer they grow, the more fate begins to stir. Because some prophecies demand blood. And some curses are not meant to be broken.

She was once bound by a lamp. Now she must learn how to live without one. After centuries of granting wishes and bearing their consequences, Destiny Hope has been set free from magic, law, and command. No longer a genie and not yet fully human, she steps into a world that has moved on without her-where miracles are smaller, choices heavier, and love is no longer something she observes from afar. When she meets Lucas Silva, the son of the woman who finally broke the Rule of Three, Destiny is drawn into a life she was never meant to have: human vulnerability, human joy, and human love. For the first time, she must face a future without immortality to shield her-and without magic to fix what breaks. But freedom has its own cost. As Destiny learns what it means to choose for herself, echoes of her past linger, and the world tests whether a being shaped by eternity can survive a lifetime measured in moments. The Freed Genie is a quiet, romantic fantasy about rebirth after power, love after law, and what happens when a wish finally becomes a choice.

Struggling with the weight of their fractured friendship, Eli comes up with a daring idea: a time machine to see if the future will fix what the present has broken. Together, they build it, hoping to glimpse the years ahead and discover whether their bond can survive. But the experiment goes terribly wrong. One of them ends up in the past. The other is sent into the future. Separated by time, they're forced to witness the consequences of their choices without the power to change a thing. Coming soon.. Updates begin July 17th 2026.

In the Pride Ring, everyone is a performer. For Eclipse, the performance is a MESS. To the Radio Demon, she is a partner from a blood-stained New Orleans past. To the Media Overlord, she is a fascinating glitch in a high-definition world. But beneath the disheveled layers lies an ancient secret. Eclipse is no common demon; she is a celestial exile, hand-picked by Death for a singular, desperate mission. She is also a heavily fucked up anti-hero with a personality disorder. A Holy War is brewing; a conflict so devastating it will force God to wipe the slate of creation clean, only to start with another Adam and Eve. At the center of the storm stands Vox. Eclipse's task isn't to destroy him, but to do something far more difficult: she must change his path. She must dismantle his ambition without extinguishing his light. But as she weaves her shadow into his digital empire, the mission begins to bleed into reality. She was sent to save the world from his choices, but as she falls for the man behind the screen, she must face a terrifying confrontation with herself. *I am uncomfortable with referring to the reader as Y/N, so the reader will be addressed with the name above* Started: Dec 16, 2025 Ended:

Two books on the same shelf live vastly different lives. One is a pristine first edition, worshipped and protected, never allowed to age or bend. The other is a battered paperback that has traveled the world, soaking up coffee stains, tears, and sun-bleached memories. Through their midnight conversations and the passage of time, they discover what it truly means to be loved - and that sometimes, being broken is the only way to become whole. A tender meditation on perfection, purpose, and the beautiful mess of being truly lived-in.

Life can sometimes give you lemons, often you can feel like a menace to society, more importantly to your own self. Life is always black and white. There is a hope that blooms in my heart, wanting to capture the true colors. But time to time that feels impossible. Until I saw you. You were my color in a field full of sunflowers. All those colors where only black and white but you.. I saw you in all colors. That day felt like a new start, the start of the innocence of 29 days. This is my first book, written from a place of emotion, memory, and quiet longing. Any kind of support means more than you know.
