Leo Caruso is no stranger to a busy social life, but after his emotionally absent father ships him off to live with his grandparents a few states away, peace and quiet is all he craves. His plans are simple: survive senior year and never see this town again afterwards. Until the curly-headed encyclopedia enters his path with a proposition to change his life - and maybe hers too along the way. Except Emerson's big idea never said anything about love...and their lonely hearts start falling fast.

But fate has other plans. The doctor standing before him is the woman he never stopped loving. She blames him for everything. He blames himself for losing her. Forced to return to his ancestral town as his doctor, Maya finds herself trapped between old wounds, buried secrets, and a truth that could change everything.

Sophia Reed survives on little sleep, too many thoughts, and the habit of pretending she's fine. Austin Stone is loud, annoying, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and impossible to ignore. They don't get along. Not even close. Arguments come easily-over nothing, over everything that shouldn't matter. But somewhere between empty hallways, unspoken pauses, and moments neither of them acknowledges, something shifts. And Sophia starts to realize that some people don't fade from your mind just because you want them to.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction influenced by Ateez and Dreamcatcher respective lores. I used a lot of references and canon stuff, but also made some changes so both worlds can work together.

My strange, little, illustrious dreams - the ones that bring me a quiet kind of happiness, and perhaps, might make you feel something too. Sometimes, I even wonder if these dreams are real... or if they're just fragments of a world that exists somewhere between sleep and shadow. Enjoy them - and don't hesitate to leave your thoughts. I know some parts may be unsettling for others, but sharing them helps me.

In the high contrast world of fashion photography, Luna Young is a master of focus, frame, and distance. She doesn't do personal space, and she certainly doesn't do "sweet." But when she's forced to trade her digital lens for raw clay, she finds herself under the steady gaze of Damon Yildiz. He is the opposite of her curated symmetry; warm, earthy, and relentlessly patient. Between the quiet hum of the wheel and the intimacy of the studio, Damon begins to chip away at the walls Luna built to survive. To find her center, Luna will have to break her rules and discover that some connections are worth the mess of falling.

New York runs on noise, neon, and blood. Cassandra used to be the government's best cleanup-until they tried to erase her. Now she's a burned asset with nothing left but scars, insomnia, and a name she needs to clear. When Frank Castle sets his sights on a corrupt senator tied to a weapons pipeline, Cassandra steps into his crosshairs with one rule: the senator stays alive. Frank wants him dead. Cassandra needs him breathing. And in the rain-soaked, every second they argue is another second someone else decides to silence them both. Two hunters. One target. Opposite endgames. In a city where secrets are currency, survival is the only negotiation.

This collection of poems is unique in a few ways. There is no cheesy rhyming, and no easy truth. The poems found in this collection are all one hundred percent true stories. My goal with these poems is to reach an audience that might need a little extra help in seeing that they are not alone in this big world. Each poem has a specific topic assigned to it, one small Easter egg in these is that with most of them, you don't get flat out told the topic until the end, turning reading into a kind of guessing game for you. This collection covers a vast array of topics, there may be some topics that can be triggering to some viewers, make sure to pay attention to the top of each page to see if there are any trigger warnings that affect you. Please give constructive criticism, I am always willing to do what I can to improve my writing skills. I have no prediction on how long this collection of stories will become, because they are always growing as I gain more experiences as a person. Take with that what you will, and happy reading -Oliver

He's the one people rely on-the one who never breaks. But behind the polished image is a man who hasn't slept properly in months. Headaches that won't go away. Nights that feel too long. A heart that learned to shut down after loving once... and losing. To Doyoung, rest is a weakness. And he refuses to be weak. Until his body forces him to stop. That's when he meets Dr. So Junghwan A traditional medicine doctor with a quiet voice, warm eyes, and an annoying habit of seeing right through him. Junghwan doesn't lecture, doesn't push he simply stays, offering care in the smallest, gentlest ways. Bitter herbal medicine. Soft reminders to eat.

Something Doyoung doesn't know how to run from. Because Junghwan isn't trying to fix him. He's just there steady, patient, and warm waiting for Doyoung to finally stop running. In a life full of pressure and expectations, Doyoung begins to learn maybe the best thing isn't success, or perfection... but having someone who makes you feel safe enough to finally rest.
