The wizarding world believes Harriet Potter vanished without a trace. No one knows the truth. After years of abuse, Vernon Dursley loses his temper one final time. Horrified by what he's done, he hides Harriet's body deep within the woods, hoping the earth will keep his secret forever. But the forest is home to something far older than magic. The faceless being known only as Slender Man finds the lonely child before death can fully claim her. Rather than letting her soul fade, he offers her a place among the forgotten-the abandoned, the murdered, the monsters born from humanity's cruelty. There Harriet meets Sally Williams, another innocent child betrayed by family. Together they become sisters, learning to survive in a world where nightmares are real. Years later, Hogwarts sends letters to a girl who no longer exists. Because Harry Potter died in the woods... ...and something far more terrifying came back.

Some choices alter a single life, while others echo through centuries. What began with one abandoned child would unravel hidden truths the consequences of choices made in desperation, and consequences of a promise made out of love.

Kurosawa Ayame was just a scriptwriter. When the otome game 'Jujutsu x Romance' was released, controversy exploded, especially over the route of Ryomen Sukuna. Too eerie. Too cruel. Too many bad endings. Players raged. Ayame only laughed. After all, wasn't that exactly how he was supposed to be? Then she woke up - inside the very game she had written. A cold system prompt greeted her: [Route locked. Exit unavailable.] [Players will not die in the main storyline. As long as the body remains intact, revival is possible.] [Reminder: Maximize the target's favorability to return to reality.] There was only one problem. Her assigned target... was the King of Curses himself. Ayame had no intention of falling in love. To her, it was just a task, a dangerous game she had to clear to get home. So she played. She died. Again and again. Learned. Adapted. Survived. And still, she moved forward, raising his favorability step by step. Until- [Congratulations, player. You have obtained: Wishing Machine.] A shortcut. A perfect betrayal. Ignoring the system's warning, Ayame made her choice. And it worked. She escaped. Returned to reality. ...Or so she thought. Because the next moment- She opened her eyes in 2018. [Favorability requirement not met. Minor penalty applied.] Kurosawa Ayame had a very bad feeling about this.

"Rule number one: You don't leave the grounds. Rule number two: You always answer when I call. Rule number three: You belong to me." If Kaia (J) wasn't completely broke, she would've laughed in Giselle's (G) face and walked right back to the train station. But desperation makes you do stupid things, like staying in a freezing Gothic mansion with a boss who acts like a literal predator. Then the clock strikes midnight, and the rules don't mean shit. Locked doors can't stop what is crawling through the halls. When Kaia wakes up pinned to the mattress in pitch darkness, suffocating under a freezing, skeletal grip, she realizes the truth. She isn't an employee. She's a menu item. And as the fangs sink into her neck, she has to figure out how to survive the dark before there is nothing left of her to drain.

But behind her quiet smile lies a dark history of abuse that skin-deep beauty cannot hide and a deep-seated belief that she is too ruined to ever be cherished. ​When ghosts from her past resurface in the wet shadows of Washington, threatening to tear her apart from the inside out, She tries to burn the bridge between them to protect him. But she forgot one simple truth: ​You cannot push away an executioner when he has already decided you are his queen. ​Dark Romance | Volturi / Caius x OC | Psychological Angst | Slow Burn

.... Two worlds. One portal. One rule: Never touch. I wasn't supposed to find the hidden section of the library. I wasn't supposed to see the light bleeding through the shelves. And I definitely wasn't supposed to touch it. One second I was in my world. The next, I was staring at him. He's not human. He's a vampire - tall, cold, and ancient. In his world, humans are prey. His job is to hunt them. To erase them. And I'm the first human to ever cross over. But when our hands reached for each other through the shimmering portal, something broke. The rules. The warnings. The wall between life and death. Now I'm trapped between dimensions. Hunted by his kind. And drawn to the one person I'm supposed to fear the most. He says I can't stay. He says if they find me, I'll die. But when he looks at me like that, like I'm the only light in centuries of darkness... I don't want to leave. The portal behind me is closing. His hand is reaching for mine. And I have to decide: Run back to safety... Or step forward into a world that will kill me. The choice I make tonight will cost me everything.

Kelvin thought the trials of that school would be the death of him. He was wrong. ​Winter has ended. For the first time in twenty years, birds sing over Clandestina. Villages buried beneath endless snow awaken to the sound of hammers instead of monsters. Fields are planted where frozen graves once lay, as people rebuild the land side by side, and Kelvin, now a Wayfarer, rests in his new home believing the hardest battle is behind him. Far to the west, an army marches beneath a familiar black banner, leaving conquered cities and silent borders in its wake. As whispers of war spread across their dimension, an old prophecy begins to stir, one that speaks not of a conqueror who will destroy the world, but of someone determined to reshape it. Then Saida disappears. Ignoring direct orders, the young Archarel vanishes into the growing conflict, chasing the same burden that claimed her family. Torn between attachments and duty, Kelvin is forced to confront a lesson far more difficult than any battle he has survived: not every burden is his to carry. As kingdoms prepare for war and ancient mysteries awaken beneath forgotten lands, the heroes who ended one age must decide what kind of world they are willing to build before someone else remakes it for them.

At seventeen, Marisol Alderidge returns to the ever-gloomy seaside town of Mayport, Maine. She doesn't expect much to change - not the infamous pilgrim lighthouse, nor the salt-heavy air that lingers long after storms have passed. But Mayport remembers her differently than she remembers it. Her childhood best friend hates her. The townspeople stare as if she's a ghost. And the lighthouse - once a familiar beacon on the cliffs - is now shut down and whispered to be cursed. She wakes up with salt tangled in her hair and beneath her fingernails. She hears the ocean singing her name at night. And sometimes, without remembering how she got there, she finds herself standing at the edge of the water. She discovers old entries of Marisol The First's diary, her ancestor who died mysteriously at a young age, and finds the described experiences strangely familiar. Something in Mayport is waiting for her return. And Cas Mercer - the boy who once knew her best, and now refuses to look at her - seems to know exactly what it is.

The Bloodline Syndicate One scholarship girl. One ruthless heir. A deadly web of secrets, blood oaths, and shadowy empire. Genevieve Vance didn't transfer to the gothic, storm-swept halls of Blackwood Academy to study. She came for blood. Three years after her older brother was murdered on campus grounds, she arrives with only his cryptic leather notebook and a final warning: If I vanish, look to the Syndicate. Enter Julian Thorne-lethal grace made manifest, heir to an industrial empire, and the cold-eyed leader of the Bloodline Syndicate. Julian controls Blackwood from the shadows, and he doesn't take kindly to outsiders poking around in Council business. When Vivi breaks into the academy's locked archives, she expects to find answers. Instead, she finds Julian's silver blade against her throat-and an invitation that forces her into the subterranean crypts beneath the school. To uncover the truth behind her brother's death, Vivi must survive the Three Sins of Initiation alongside the very boy who might be his killer. Bound by a dangerous blood oath, Vivi and Julian are forced into a reluctant partnership as they navigate secret vaults, corporate treachery, and an escalating war against rival syndicates. In a world where loyalty is bought with forged ledgers and treason is punished by death, Vivi quickly learns the most dangerous rule of all: To tear down a monster, you have to become one.
