Zara's voice trembled. "Easy... it's too much, I've..... I've never done this before" as Yasmin thrusts inside her. Yasmin's chest heaved, her mind spinning with weeks of frustration and betrayal. Nara had ignored her, pushed her away while Yasmin had given everything love, care, devotion. And now, with Zara before her, all of that anger and longing ignited. "I... I can't stop, it's so warm and .... Arrgghh I can't fit in....stay still" Yasmin demanded peeling Zara's thighs open, her voice low, almost feral, eyes locking on Zara's. She didn't want to, either. Zara's hands gripped her tightly, the tension between them electric, dangerous. Fear, excitement, and something more twisted danced in Zara's eyes. She was trembling not from pain, but from the intensity, the rawness of it all. The room was thick with heat and tension. Yasmin's hands moved with a possessive urgency, desperate to feel, desperate to release. Every restraint, every rule, every careful facade she'd built melted away. She lost herself in Zara's warmth, in the chaos of the moment, in the dangerous thrill of desire that bordered on obsession. By the time it ended, both were breathing hard, eyes wide, hearts pounding. Yasmin leaned back, letting the tension drain slowly, the room quiet except for their ragged breaths. For a moment, neither moved. "You... you're insane," Zara whispered, a nervous smile tugging at her lips. "And you... you're irresistible," Yasmin replied, her tone dark and husky. "Be careful, Zara. I don't stop for anyone."

She was a ghost. He made her feel alive again. Amara Jackson spent five years hiding from the world that killed her father. Michael Jackson's only daughter vanished after his death-too broken, too famous, too afraid to be seen. Then she met Kendrick Lamar. A Compton-bred poet with dangerous roots and a soft heart, Kendrick saw past her ghosts. He fell hard. She fell harder. And for ten years, they built something the world tried to destroy. This is their story. From studio sessions to tabloid wars, from Lagos to Compton, from grief to Grammy stages-this is a love letter to healing, to Black love, to the price of fame and the power of being each other's home.

Leah's life is divided into before and after, though no one ever tells you when the line is being drawn. One moment she is a wife, a parent, a person with a future she understands. The next, she is learning how to hold her family together while everything familiar slips out of reach. With young children depending on her, Leah has no choice but to keep moving. To make breakfasts she doesn't taste. To answer questions she doesn't know how to explain. The world hasn't ended, it's simply asked her to survive it.

After another attempted failure in creating a cure for his sickly granddaughter, Maria, Professor Gerald Robotnik was getting desperate. His star pupil, Doctor Maci Garcia, offered a solution, creating the Ultimate Cure, Project: EMBER. Under the guidance of her professor, Doctor Maci was successful in creating Project: EMBER. Not ready to be introduced to the others, Ember was kept away in a different place in the Ark. When her test results came up with a high success rate for a cure, she was soon introduced to Maria, Abe, and Shadow. And thus a somewhat beautiful friendship blossomed. But it didn't last for long.

"I have spent more of my life with her than without. I know there will be a day that scale shifts the other way. Nevertheless, today is not that day." As a young kid, my parents took me to an animal shelter so we could pick out two kittens to become our family pets. There, a black runt who the staff weren't sure would survive, yelled at me until I chose her. Once home, that same kitten made it known that she had no interest in anyone but me, and I felt much the same about her. In such a lonely life, how lucky am I to have such a bond? Twenty one years later, the death I have feared most has come and gone only recently. Now what am I left with? "Mortality knows not what it takes. The Reaper knows not the value of what he carries from me..."

They grew up sharing everything~secrets, laughter, silence... and a comfort that never needed words. Somewhere along the way, things changed. A look that lasted too long. A moment that meant more than it should have. But not everything that's felt is spoken. And not everything that's real is understood in time. Now, caught between what they were and what they could be. They find themselves drifting~not because they don't care, but because they never learned how to say it.

What would you do if you woke up one morning with a deep sense of dread - like you knew even before you got out of bed that something terrible was about to happen? Would you listen to that sense and risk it all or would you ignore it and watch helplessly as hell rains down around you? What if there was a life on the line?

We all go through things we can't fully explain, moments where we wonder how we even got there. Sometimes it's the people we love making mistakes that end up shaping us and teaching us who we need to be. I've experienced pain before I ever truly felt love and now, all I want is to feel love deeply and give it just as genuinely.

Rakkaus ei kuole, kun pelko hellittää. Se vain paljastaa, kuka jää. On hetkiä, jotka muuttavat kaiken. Ja on kolme ihmistä, jotka joutuvat katsomaan toisiaan rehellisemmin kuin koskaan ennen. Joskus rakkaus tarkoittaa jäämistä - joskus se vaatii lähtemistä. • • • Nora palaa Suomeen - omasta halustaan - mutta vastassa on paljon muistoja, joita ei koskaan käsitelty loppuun. Kun yksi hetki pysäyttää kaiken, menneisyys ja nykyhetki törmäävät toisiinsa. Mikään ei enää ole itsestään selvää. Nora seisoo kahden tulen välissä, kunnes keho tekee valinnan, jota mieli ei ole vielä ollut valmis myöntämään. ** Tarina sisältää viittauksia itsensä vahingoittamiseen, päihteisiin ja kuolemaan.

When the lights go out, the truth comes with it. In a city built on silence, nothing stays buried forever. Some people chase power. Others try to survive it. But when the rules start to change... no one is safe. Welcome to Lights Out.

Noah Grey learned early that distance hurts less than loss. So he keeps things quiet. Controlled. Manageable. Until Lina Mori transfers in autumn. What begins as shared walks beneath falling leaves slowly turns into something neither of them planned. But when reality intrudes and Noah decides it's safer to step away, love becomes a choice neither of them can ignore. A slow-burn high school romance about growth, grief, and learning how to stay when leaving feels easier.

In here lies the pieces left behind

People think moving across the country means starting over. New house. New school. New life. But some things follow you no matter how far you go. Sometimes, late at night, I still hear it. Beep. Beep. Beep. And I remember the question someone once asked me - the one I've never been able to answer. How are you still alive? So I do what I've learned to do best. I keep my head down. I stay quiet. And I try to pretend nothing inside me is broken. But the past has a way of finding you. And some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

a poem all about her.

Germany and East Germany stand side by side at a grave that holds more than just a body. It holds questions, anger, and a truth buried far deeper than the coffin below. While East Germany drowns in grief and bitterness, Germany carries a secret that grows heavier with every passing day. Their father didn't abandon them. He was murdered. Threatened into silence by the one responsible, Germany watches helplessly as his brother spirals deeper into despair, believing the man they loved chose to leave them behind. Every moment of silence pushes them further apart. Every lie cuts deeper than the last. And when the truth finally comes out... it may already be too late. Because some secrets aren't meant to protect the people we love. Sometimes they destroy them.
