    Her life was supposed to be stable. Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable. A job. A mortgage. A routine barely held together with coffee and denial. But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long. When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet. The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. Charlotte just tries to survive it. Until something starts to change. In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story. Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked. But fate has never cared about what she believes. And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again. Because some bonds are not chosen. They are claimed.

    Weeks before her wedding, Lena Carter's fiancé abandons her, forcing her into the government's Marriage System, where a stranger will become her husband. But as her future is about to be sealed, a mysterious zombie outbreak throws the city into chaos. Trapped between a ruthless government and a collapsing world, Lena must fight to survive before she loses more than just her freedom. The Rules of the Marriage System Rule 1 Every citizen must be legally married by the required age. Rule 2 Citizens may choose their own spouse only if they are legally engaged or married before the government registration deadline. Rule 3 Anyone who is single after the deadline is automatically enrolled in the Marriage System. Rule 4 The Marriage System assigns one legally approved spouse. The decision is final. Rule 5 Once assigned, neither person may reject the match. Rule 6 Attempting to escape, hide, or avoid the assigned marriage is a criminal offense against the state. Rule 7 Helping someone evade the Marriage System is also a crime. Rule 8 Citizens who refuse the Marriage Act lose all civil rights and are immediately transferred to a classified government detention and labor facility. Very few people ever return, and those who do never speak about what happened there. Rule 9 Divorce is illegal unless approved by the Central Marriage Authority under extremely rare circumstances. Rule 10 Every citizen is monitored through a national identity system to ensure compliance with the Marriage Act.

    Life has been a never ending series of disappointments for Arkady: a failed marriage, an earth-shattering apocalyptic event, the creation of bipedal animals who don't take kindly to humans, and the failures of the people in power to do anything about any of it. So, overall, not much different from the other people in the Latvian Exclusion Zone. He earned the respect of his fellow stalkers and the disrespect of the people who label those in his position as criminals. He spent a third of his life after finding his place in the Zone trying to search for his ex-wife. Though those attempts proved fruitless. ' Until one day, a bounty hunting job leads him to discover something he was never meant to see. Documents proving that she, his ex-wife, the woman he still loves now, might still be alive. His obsession is reignited, and finally his life has a purpose beyond taking jobs to stay alive. But his discovery is not only his own. The people in power, the ones that had failed him so many times before, have decided that his discovery is theirs. Will his unofficial VDV training from Alexei, his lessons from the Zone, and experience in civilian division of the Latvian military be able to keep him alive long enough to discover where she's gone after all these years? Please note: Some characters and events in this story are inspired by or parody existing works and their characters. Any resemblance is intentional and meant purely for creative or critical purposes I will also be posting this story to Royal Road. Cover created by Aethernet.

    Two decades ago, Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner tore down a dying world and built a new one from the ashes. But legacies are heavy, and the peace they bled for is beginning to crack. Aurora Emmaline Warner is her father's daughter. She is the spitting image of Aaron's lethal elegance and cold precision. But beneath the sharp suits and the calculated stares lies her mother's heart-a kindness so deep it feels like a liability. Aurora spends her life wearing a mask of steel infront of everyone except her family and her friends. Kaz Kishimoto is the chaotic soul of the new generation. The oldest son of Kenji and Nazeera, he is a whirlwind of sarcasm who would rather fight someone over the last piece of food than follow a direct order. But while the world sees a reckless joker, Kaz sees the things everyone else misses. He is the only one who isn't fooled by Aurora's icy composure. He sees the girl behind the Warner name-the one who cares too much and feels too deeply. While their parents fought to end a war,they are fighting to stop a quiet one. A shadow is moving through the New Republic-an enemy that doesn't use guns or armies, but secrets and stolen legacies. The children of the revolution are being hunted by the world they thought is finally safe

    "You wrotе me a note, cast a spell on my hеart and bewitched me." ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ Since the fateful day that Edalyn Clawthorne rescued you from the boiling rain, you've been facing a war waged on the system that prides itself upon the elimination of your kind. Since the fateful day that Emperor Belos took responsibility over Hunter, he's been facing that same war - unknowingly affiliated with the side of the oppressors. Iniquity and purity. Savage and tame. Wild and coven. Does anyone even know the true meaning of those words, or are they simply means to pit youths of the same generation against one another? At any rate, you never expected to find yourself thrust in the middle of the war against the empire. And you definitely never expected to find yourself falling for the right-hand of its leader. Whatever, that's life. You never know what it'll throw at you. But now that you think of it... you don't quite know yourself either, do you? ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ "BEWITCHED",, HUNTER X GN!READER. - ROMANCE: CURRENTLY IN "SUUUPPPEEERRRR CLOSE FRIENDS" STAGE. - STORY: CURRENTLY IN "PRE-UNITY" ARC. - NOTICES 1: The title may be misleading. While this is definitely an 'x reader,' the fic is not centered on the romance and has its own narrative and story. Just an FYI. 2: Due to this being my first fan fiction, you will notice me developing my writing style over the course of the fic. I am highly nostalgic, so with the exception of a few revisions, the old chapters will remain unchanged. Please bear with the initial formatting, writing style, and potential errors. A rewrite, however, is in the cards in the future upon story completion. Thanks!! xx

    "Do you always look at men like that?" Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Like what?" Eren's gaze travelled over her without haste before returning to her face. "Like you're deciding whether you want to touch them or shoot them." She held his stare, perfectly composed. "I assure you, Jaeger, only one of those options has crossed my mind." *** Raised to be exceptional soldiers, Subjects 034 and 072 were never meant to be human. They were never meant to be Eren and Mikasa. In a world where emotions are classified as defects, falling in love could cost them everything.
