He lost his arm to Reiji Kirisaki, but later woke to find it replaced: a mysterious figure had given him a Zonai arm, a strange gift that raises more questions than answers. At the same time, buried truths about his family come to light. The Shirogane bloodline, supposetively noble was in fact rotted to the core, secretly closely tied to All For One, serving him in the shadows. After All Might's victory, Naoto's father, Retsu, abusive, violent, rotted to the core, was exposed and forced into hiding. Once Naoto was thought dead, but Retsu's downfall revealed the truth, he is alive, and now marked. At the hospital, two revelations change everything: his mother, Aashiko, returns after years away, and with her, a sister he never knew, Tsukiko, 3 years old. Innocent, untouched by Retsu's violence, she still believes her father was good. To her, Naoto is just the brother who broke her family apart. Living with them briefly, Naoto finds a fragile home. Aashiko accepts him; Tsukiko only tolerates him. But as Aizawa said, with villains aware of who he is, he has to leave, for their safety, heading to Heights Alliance, U.A.'s new dormitory system, where a new chapter begins. Before he even arrives, something unexpected happens: reaching out to stop an accident, his left hand opens a portal. A new ability, separate from Quickslot, has awakened. Where did this power come from? Why now? And what other trials wait ahead, as Naoto struggles with the dark legacy of his bloodline and the uncertain future of his own strength? ✧ Cover by me

    Twelve-year-old Ivy Marlowe disappears without a trace while walking home from school in a small, tight-knit town. A massive search turns up nothing. The case goes cold, and her family begins to crumble under the weight of grief and unanswered questions. Five years later, Ivy is found wandering in a remote forest on the outskirts of town - dirty, confused, and with no memory of where she's been or what happened to her. Her reappearance shocks the community, and while her family is relieved, they're also unnerved by how much she's changed. Now seventeen, Ivy tries to reintegrate into her old life, but nothing feels familiar. She's plagued by nightmares, sudden panic attacks, and vivid flashes of places she doesn't remember visiting. She can't trust her mind, but something deep inside her whispers that she isn't safe. As Ivy tries to reclaim her life, fragments of memory start to return a locked basement, a cabin in the woods, an iron bracelet around her ankle, a voice whispering rules she had to obey. And worst of all, the man's face always blurred, always watching. MAJIOR PLOT TWIST AT THE END!!!

    Kayla Tribbiani never meant to rebuild her life in New York. Not after everything she lost. Not after grief hollowed out the parts of her that once felt bright and certain. But then Joey pulls her into the warmth of the city again. Then Chandler hands her a cup of coffee and a sarcastic comment that hits far too gently for a man who claims to hate emotions. Then the rest of the gang folds her into their chaotic orbit like she has always belonged. Between double birthday parties gone wrong, late-night kitchen confessions, shared laughter that feels safer than silence, and the quiet moments where Chandler looks at her a second too long... Kayla begins to feel something she didn't expect: Alive. Seen. Held. This is not a love story - not yet. It's a story about healing, friendship, banter that warms and hurts in equal measure, and the slow, steady gravity that pulls two broken people toward each other long before either of them realizes it. As Kayla finds her place in the most unconventional family she's ever known, she also discovers: Sometimes home is a city. Sometimes home is a group of friends. And sometimes... home is the one person who makes you feel less alone. A Friends-style slowburn about grief, laughter, comfort, chemistry you can't ignore, and the terrifying possibility of letting someone in again.

    "Let me have you, Maeve. Let me touch you, kiss you, fuck you. Love you. Let me show you how much I need you before my soul rips apart at the seams." . . . A girl who feels alienated from her family. A boy who has everything and yet nothing at all. Maeve Zarner is a normal 19 year old college sophomore and transfer student to Taven University. And she's pretty average. Average looks (or so she thinks), average income, average house. The only thing she has that's above average is her height, which stands at a whopping 5'10". But even that's not enough for her family to want her. Koen Row is a 20 year old junior at Taven University, as well as the team's top linebacker. And he's got it all. Looks, money, reputation, unwanted attention. Actually, he has it all except for the one thing he really wants and can't seem to get no matter how hard he tries: love. What happens when their fates align? . . . Disclaimer: None of the pictures in the story, including the cover are mine. I found them on the mighty Google. I did design the cover, though :D Another disclaimer: There are mature themes in this story such as abuse/trauma, strong language, and steamy scenes. . . . This is very much a work in progress so please bear with me ^^ this is just a fun summer project for right now And no, the quote at the top hasn't happened... yet :) patience is virtue

    Story Description! Two broken childhoods, one quiet bond, and a love that grows in the spaces where fear once lived. Izuku Midoriya grew up invisible-a quirkless boy in a world that measured worth by power, taught early that kindness was something you paid for with pain. Shimura survived something far worse: a mother who turned love into cruelty, science into torture, and childhood into something to be endured rather than lived. Rescued only months before the story begins, Shimura is learning how to exist in a world that no longer hurts her on purpose. When their lives intersect under the care of Toshinori Yagi, neither of them is looking for romance. Izuku is focused on becoming a hero worthy of the power he was given; Shimura is simply trying to figure out who she is allowed to be now that she's free. What they find instead is something gentler-shared silences, careful questions, and a friendship built on patience rather than expectations. Their love does not arrive loudly. It grows in small moments: rainstorms waited out together, late-night conversations, shy smiles, and the comfort of being understood without having to explain every scar. Izuku sees Shimura not as fragile, but as brave for surviving. Shimura sees Izuku not as weak, but as kind in a world that tried to make him hard. Set against the backdrop of hero society and recovery, this story is not just about falling in love-it's about healing alongside someone who understands what it means to be afraid of the future and still choose to step toward it. Together, Izuku and Shimura learn that love doesn't have to hurt, that safety can be shared, and that sometimes the strongest heroes are the ones who teach each other how to live. A slow-burn, trauma-aware love story about trust, growth, and choosing gentleness in a world that rarely does.

    |SEASON 2 OF CLAXTON · BREAKING INTO TWO PARTS DUE TO SIZE| | WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| The Octopus Man is growing stronger, and so is Tracey. Makenna must find her way to the Bermuda Triangle to protect the Human and Magic Worlds before the young apprentice becomes the claxton he is destined to be. *** Since Makenna Delling discovered she is a Metamorphic Fairy, nothing in her life has been simple. Having just finished her sophomore year of high school, she and Tracey must travel to the undersea city of Atlantis to stop Tracey from falling victim to his own power... the power of the claxton. Ash, a Wizard Fairy, is on a secret mission from Coutarine Island to help them. However, the Octopus Man remains active and vows to drag Tracey to the Bermuda Triangle. Because of this, Ash must teach Makenna and Tracey Special Spells--spells that will help them win their battle against the Octopus Man. It is now even more crucial that Makenna becomes a Merfairy Metamorphic Fairy. The Human and Magic Worlds are colliding in an event similar to something that happened seventeen years ago. What does this event have to do with Makenna, Tracey, and Ash? How will the teens reach Atlantis without the Kraken destroying them before confronting the Octopus Man? Most importantly, will Makenna ever find her long-lost family member? *** *Main tropes: Love triangle and friends-to-lovers.* *Note: My writing style is 3rd-person omniscient, so please judge it accordingly.

    ⚔️ The Wayward Company "He came from an age of gunpowder and discipline... and found himself in a world of magic and monsters." The year was 1785 when Silas Ward was born - a Virginian by birth, a soldier by blood. The son of a frontier rifleman and a veteran of the Revolution, Ward grew up in the lingering smoke of musket fire and the echoes of liberty's war drums. His father's stories were full of powder, honor, and men who carved a nation from wilderness. Ward became one of them - a United States Marine, a captain forged in the chaos of the War of 1812 and the Barbary Wars that followed. He knew the sting of salt air, the ring of sabres, and the thundering recoil of a musket - his father's old Charleville, a relic from another war. He knew discipline, courage, and the silence that comes after battle. He thought he knew the world. Until one night, the world changed. A storm unlike any other swallowed his ship whole - and when he awoke, the sea was gone. In its place stood a land of twin moons and crimson dawns, where men walked beside elves and devils bore human faces. A place where steel and sorcery shared the same battlefield. To its people, he was an enigma: a foreigner in a tattered blue coat, wielding a thunderous weapon no forge could craft and speaking of wars no bard had sung of. To himself, he was something worse - a ghost adrift in a world that was not his own. But fate has a strange sense of humor. In this new realm, Silas Ward would cross paths with others who carried their own scars: a half-elf devoted to divine justice, a young fighter chasing her worth, a brooding warlock haunted by the cost of power, and a tiefling bard whose charm hides a wounded heart. Together, they will become known as The Wayward Company - not by choice, but by destiny. Their story is one of exile and rediscovery, of loyalty born in the fires of difference. For while some heroes are made by gods, and others by magic... Silas Ward was made by war.
