"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." -Confucius The Great Sage is a legendary figure who will come to be under the right circumstances and events. A hero is forged through the Kindness given to them early on in life and their Diligence is spurred by others. A villain is forged through their Envy of others and their Wrath towards those that wronged them. But a Great Sage is not either. He is the sum of the Seven Heavenly Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins. While Subaru Natsuki in the original story could be said he is both the sum total, it was... hollow. Desolate. Breaking. Now, after years in another world that loathed and adored him, it is time to make a choice. An opportunity of a lifetime. A new path. A new destiny. And one that could either fix this broken world, or shatter it completely. Kindness and Envy. Pride and Humility. Patience and Wrath. Lust and Chastity. Sloth and Diligence. Charity and Greed. Temperance and Gluttony. They aren't opposites, but pieces to a whole. Combine them magnanimously and you become whole. You become a Great Sage.

Su Wanyin has spent seventeen years learning to make herself small. So when her family swaps her in for her terrified legitimate sister and sends her to the Ninth Prince - the scarred war god the capital calls a demon for his savage temper and the three brides who never lived a year - she goes the way she's done everything: silently, dressed in stolen wedding red, expecting a grave. But the man whose rage makes generals tremble never raises a hand to her. And on her first night in his cold, dangerous manor, the meek bastard daughter notices something no one else has dared to: someone is slowly poisoning the demon prince to death.

Echoes of Us Have you ever had a person who started as a complete stranger, but slowly became your absolute everything? It never happens loudly. It's a random conversation in a classroom, a routine walk after school, or late-night video calls that stretch for hours. Before you even realize it, they aren't just a person anymore they are your comfort, your routine, and your daily life. But what happens when the rhythm breaks without warning? No fights, no dramatic betrayals just the agonizing, silent drift where "later" slowly turns into "not today". In a matter of months, you plummet from everything back to nothing. Now, after a year of heavy silence, a fragile second chance begins with a single text. But when time has already re-shaped who you both are, can you truly rebuild what broke-or are you just chasing the echoes of a ghost?

Yet she is taken in by Jake Sully and Neytiri, raised among the Omatikaya as one of their own. Growing up alongside Kiri, the two form an unbreakable bond... something deeper than sisterhood, something they call a twin flame. But Amòra has always been different. Too quiet. Too strange. Too much. When war returns and the Sully family flees to the reefs of the Metkayina, Amòra finds herself drowning in a world that does not understand her. The ocean rejects her, the people whisper, and even her strength begins to falter. Then there is Ao'nung... proud, cruel, and impossible to ignore. What begins as resentment slowly twists into something neither of them can control. But when hurt turns into harm, and truth comes too late, Amòra must decide who she is beyond the pain... and whether some bonds are meant to be broken. A story of belonging, grief, identity, and a love that arrives too late to be saved.

Hailey Stewart has been down bad for Jensen Davis since freshman year. All she's dreamed about is having him as more than a friend, though she barely even manages to graze the 'friend' status. Now a senior, she has so much to accomplish. She creates a bucket list of things to do before the year is over, including getting into her dream school, Parsons School of Design, and professing her undying love to Jensen. Only when she takes the coward's way out and writes a letter to confess, she accidentally slips it into her annoying neighbor/ex-best friend's locker instead. Now the entire school thinks they're dating. To keep up appearances, Hailey and Aiden develop a fake relationship in hopes to present Hailey as outgoing and spontaneous and Aiden as a reliable partner, not just a player. Their ulterior motives are set and they work together to get what they want. But in the process, an old friendship blossoms between the two as well as something else. But if Hailey never settles down for where she is now instead of forcing a future, she may never see what- or who's been right in front of her the entire time.

Brielle never expected to belong in the Emberfang pack. She was sent there months ago, a temporary solution to a family falling apart after her father's betrayal. Long enough to be known.

And the girl they ignored? She won't stay invisible for long. Because while one Alpha rejected her- another is already watching. And this time... She won't rise as someone's mate. She'll rise as something far more dangerous. The Alpha King's Luna.

Aren Valcro lurched forward, one hand outstretched toward the sword-the source of power that would allow him to reclaim his realm. The power to crush those who had taken his kingdom from him, who had murdered his family. But power doesn't come without a price. A blade like Aetherion doesn't respond to rage. It judges-and so Aren was judged. Marked by the blade he wished to command, Aren Valcro now bears the scars of failure, pursued by an enemy that shouldn't exist, and burdened by the memories of those he could not save. Deprived of his power, crippled forever, and imprisoned, Aren must now confront the bitter truth of his situation: He wasn't worthy. Now, stripped of all else he once held, marked by a wound that will never heal, he must choose- Will he continue his quest for the power to destroy? Or will he prove himself worthy to protect?

She transferred to a Korean high school at fifteen and made the mistake of noticing him. Han Taek-Min is brilliant, cold, and completely out of reach. He barely knows she exists. She knows she should leave it alone. She doesn't. What follows isn't a fairy tale. It's twenty years of the real thing - slow burn and silence and the kind of love that keeps getting tested until both people either break or get stronger. High school hierarchies, university breakups, career pressures, grief, loss, and the terrifying work of building something that actually lasts. He learned early that showing emotion was dangerous. She learned early to hold on longer than was probably smart. Neither of those lessons serves them well. It takes years, and honesty, and more than one moment where the whole thing nearly ends, before they figure out how to meet each other without the walls. This isn't a story where love solves everything. It's a story where love is the reason two people do the hard work of solving themselves. The ending is worth it. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover by @fuzziwrites)
