    "the healer likes t' sleep. like, a lot." Axe looks at the sole female AND human member of Nightmare's subordinates. She was only ever awake for about 8-10 hours a day, rarely ever 12, it was both fascinating and irritating at the same time. He was damn sure humans would be awake for more hours than that, he even asked Murder at the time if it was normal. Said skeleton didn't give a single care though, his words: "who cares, makes her more tolerable. 'sides she gets her job done." The cracked skeleton just couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it than meets the EYE. ━━━PHOTO CREDITS: Whale鯨豚 [@Whale5511] on X! ━━━MOST NOTABLE RANKING: #1 in sansxreader, horrortale, something new and badsanses on 23/12/2025 #1 in undertale on 25/12/2025 #3 in bittersweet on 24/12/2025 #5 in reader on 24/12/2025 #19 in sans on 23/12/2025 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DATES PUBLISHED: 001 ━━ July 29th of '25 002 ━━ July 30th of '25 003 ━━ August 1 of '25 004 ━━ August 3 of '25 005 ━━ August 6 of '25 006 ━━ August 8 of '25 007 ━━ November 8 of '25 008 ━━ December 22 of '25 009 ━━ December 23 of '25

    You are going to read this as a story. A man loses someone. He stops sleeping. A woman made of light shows him a hundred worlds where she's still alive, still laughing, still breathing - and in every one of them, he's the one who's missing. You'll tell yourself it's just fiction. A metaphor. A clever structural trick about grief. But somewhere around the part where he asks "have I told you I didn't wake up?" - stop, and ask yourself when the last time was that someone checked on you. Really checked. Not the polite kind of checking. Because some stories are told by people no longer here to correct you if you get the ending wrong. This might be one of them. You won't know until you finish it. And by then, it might already be too late to ask.

    "The Seasons of My Life-" Some people enter our lives like seasons. They arrive unexpectedly, fill our days with warmth, laughter and memories, and before we realise it, they begin to fade away. Hinako never expected Yoshikawa Akihiko to become such a person. He was charming, carefree, and perhaps a little too fond of changing girlfriends. She was simply trying to survive school, practice her passion of writing and create weird philosophies Yet somewhere between ordinary days, late-night conversations, shared meals, laughter, and flowers blooming beneath the changing sky, an unexpected philosophy begins to form. A philosophy that neither of them knows how to name. Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Four seasons. A thousand memories. One friendship that changes everything. And when the final spring arrives, Hinako must learn that some goodbyes aren't truly endings. Sometimes, they are simply another kind of beginning. The Seasons of My Life A story of love turning into friendship

    Some people stay in your life. Others become a place your heart never leaves. Kai never expected that a single encounter would change the way he understood love. What began as an ordinary meeting slowly became a bond that time could never erase. As the years pass, he learns that love isn't always about holding on. Sometimes, it's about letting go with kindness, cherishing the memories, and quietly wishing happiness for someone-even from afar. Until the Blue Fades is a heartfelt slow-burn BL romance about friendship, healing, growing up, and discovering that the people we love can become the place we always return to in our hearts.

    AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H9BDP9VD (Kindle and paperback versions) Every October 9th, Wren breaks her own rule and lets herself remember him. She goes back. Not in memory - really back. An ordinary Tuesday, a decade gone, and he's warm, and breathing, and reaching for her hand like no time has passed. She's always believed she was traveling back to save him. She's about to find out who's actually been on the other end of the door the whole time - and it isn't who she thinks. A grief that won't stay in the past. A love she never let herself see coming. And the brother who's spent ten years showing up, one impossible coincidence at a time.

    Some people come into your life quietly. Others crash in like a wave-and suddenly, everything changes. Dylan Murphy has always played it safe. She's the quiet girl living in her older sister's shadow that no one really notices, except for her best friend Bex or course, and maybe the cute boy from art club. Art is her escape, but beyond that? Dylan's not sure where she belongs-especially after high school ends. Zach Marino, on the other hand, is everything she's not. Popular, confident, and about as off-limits as they come. So when they unexpectedly join forces in hopes of helping Zach stay on the hockey team, Dylan immediately regrets her decision. What was she thinking? Can Zach surprise her and prove that just maybe, he isn't all bad like his reputation? One surprising semester. One to-do-before-college list. Friendship to win. Everything to lose. And maybe-for the first time in both their lives-everything to find.

And what is more inherent to human nature than the desire to be heard? That is why she can never regret Elijah Keane, his glass heart and slaughterhouse eyes, and everything he became. For all his radiance, his wit, his kindness, and later, his cruelty, one thing must be remembered: he tried. So, friends, if nothing else, pity him. Understand why she allowed him the greatest mercy of them all. Forgetting.
