    Recommended for 15+ (Make you're own call if you think you have the maturity of roughly a 15-year-old or older... you're good) Anyway... Six years have passed since Aaravos fell... Six years of planning, failing, hoping and waiting for what's to come, and just... trying to move on. But no one can predict the future. (Well, maybe Kosmo kind of can). Meanwhile, Rayla and Callum are navigating love, loss, and the unknown. Old enemies awaken, new dangers emerge, and every choice could destroy the world they've fought so hard to protect. Their home. Can they survive what's coming... together? ...Or will everything fall to pieces? The cover art, is edited and designed (Put together...) By me using way too much photoshop, but the base image is created by Hanna Hofer, and the logo obviously belongs to the creators of the show!

    You're late, Sadhana." "I wasn't late, Megumi. I was giving the curses a head start." Being Megumi Fushiguro's older sister isn't a heroic duty-it's a headache. Sadhana is notoriously lazy, sharp-tongued, and armed with a shadow technique that crafts cold steel instead of shikigami. Megumi thinks she's an irresponsible slacker; Sadhana thinks Megumi is a self-sacrificing martyr. They argue, hold grudges, and carry the same bitter scars left by Toji's abandonment-and the lingering, silent guilt over Tsumiki's curse that neither knows how to heal. Yet, despite the constant bickering, Sadhana finds herself dragged into playing reluctant big sister to Tokyo High's newest disasters: adopting Yuji's reckless energy, matching Nobara's sharp attitude, and trying to keep all three first-years alive under Gojo Satoru's chaotic watch. As the jujutsu world grows darker and higher-ups push them toward the brink, Sadhana realizes that having an armory in your shadow doesn't mean you can shield everyone from their fate-or save them from themselves

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.

    In Brand New Day, Peter Parker takes a bullet meant for Jean Grey. Somehow, from miles away, Jean keeps him alive. Frank Castle calls it "voodoo magic." Peter never learns what happened during those missing hours-or what keeping him alive cost her. A few weeks later, an anonymous delivery arrives. Inside is food and a receipt: ordinary words, numbers that should mean nothing. Except Peter understands them. It is a message written in a language only he and Jean would know. Following it brings Peter back into Jean's life-and into a growing argument over fear, power, safety, and how much choice one person can be asked to surrender for everyone else. Finding Jean is only the beginning. Peter's past is on a collision course with him, too. An erased life. People he loved. Promises he broke. Choices he once called sacrifice. As the past begins finding him again, Peter is forced to confront a question he has spent years answering with his own body: When does protecting someone become deciding for them? A post-Brand New Day slow burn about survival, autonomy, regret, grief, and the dangerous difference between being needed and being loved.

    Sometimes, the people we love don't leave because they stopped loving us. Sometimes, they leave because they don't know how to fight for the love they have. January was supposed to be nothing more than a month and a half in my mother's hometown. I arrived counting the days until I could go home. Then I met Philip. What began with a quiet conversation beside a fire slowly became a love I thought would last forever. Late-night calls. Whispered goodnights. Dreams about marriage. I thought I'd found the person I was meant to spend my life with. Until one day, everything changed. He pushed me away, and I discovered another girl. I thought he had stopped loving me. Years later, I learned there was more to the story-but by then, our lives had already gone in different directions. We both moved on. We both married. We both had children. And yet, some memories never completely disappear. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't losing someone. It's never knowing what might have happened if things had been different. This is my story. The story of a love that began in January... and the ending we never got.
