[𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐝𝐨𝐥 𝐱 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫] Asher, the beloved vocalist of 𝓣𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓓𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓻𝓼, the world's biggest K-pop group, maintains a flawless public image that conceals a darker, hidden life. Behind the idol persona, he harbors a forbidden secret: you, his lover, secluded in a cabin far from the prying eyes of fans and media. Caught in the crossfire of fame and a love verging on madness, he is willing to risk everything to keep you his and his alone. The line between love and obsession never seemed to ever exist, but the price of secrecy grows heavier with each passing day. In a world that idolizes perfection, will Asher's dark devotion remain hidden, or will his secret unravel, bringing devastating consequences to everyone involved?

In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.

Jack learns early that pain has rules. At ten years old, he knows how to stay quiet, how to make himself small, how to breathe without being noticed. At home, love is fragile and anger comes without warning. When his father finally sends him away, Jack believes he's being saved. He's wrong. The new house is warm, expensive, and spotless. His mother smiles more here. Her husband is gentle, patient, and impossibly kind. No one raises their voice. No one leaves marks. And then there is the brother. Seventeen. Calm. Observant. Always smiling. He calls Jack family. He calls it care. He calls it protection. Behind closed doors, words become weapons and kindness becomes control. Jack learns that fear doesn't always hurt the body-that sometimes it rewrites the mind. That obedience can be taught without force. That silence can be shaped into a cage. Because in this house, bruises fade. What remains is worse. And Jack is running out of places to hide.

(m!yandere!superhero x f!reader x m!yandere!supervillain) you are secretly in love with your childhood best friend who has shown you no indication as to whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. that's fine though! you can keep the crush under wraps- especially since he has bigger fish to fry than silly feelings when he's one of the strongest superheroes in the world. it's enough to just be in his orbit (or so you tell yourself). things go to shit though when he's called away to a mission across the world from you. while it's sad to not be near your bff/wanna-be-lover, the real issue is that his sidekick and nemesis seem to be a bit obsessed with you, and he's not there to offer you any assistance in avoiding their super powered advances towards you. hopefully he finishes up that mission before the unhinged supers destroy the entire country in the pursuit of your love! crossposted on quotev. please do not republish anywhere.

Shifting wasn't supposed to be real. And yet - here I am. At Hogwarts. Face to face with him. Qynna Veilinharv was just another obsessed gamer. She knew every spell combo, every Sebastian Sallow line, and every bad decision he made in Hogwarts Legacy. She watched his story crumble again and again. Until it hurt too much to keep watching. So she did something reckless. Something impossible. She shifted. Now? She's a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. With no wand skills, no magical training, and an absolutely catastrophic crush on the boy she tried to save. Sebastian Sallow. The reason she's here - is darker, messier, and far more real than she ever imagined. He's not a romance option anymore. He's just a boy... with too many secrets. Fixing his story was supposed to be simple. But surviving in this world? Not so much. Goblins. Trolls. Dueling clubs. A castle full of students she has to fool into thinking she belongs. And a boy who's already breaking. If she's not careful, he'll take her down with him. Sebastian x OC (but feel free to replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own name.

Among Us © InnerSloth Characters shown and depicted in this book © Me _____ 17-year-old teenager Andrew was never the most popular boy in his school. Having a family of seventeen, a mom who's a lawyer (as well as a stay-at-home parent) and a dad who's a sheriff, older siblings who have their lives figured out, and a social (though slightly ignorant of her own twin) butterfly of a twin sister, his family always thrived on social interaction. Imagine their shock whenever their youngest son has social anxiety. This means Andrew was often overlooked, outcasted, and/or underestimated due to being the "quiet oddball." He never expected to be thrown into an endless stimulation. Like most, Andrew thought it was a normal game with jellybean-like avatars. He was wrong. Like he'd been thrown into a VR headset, Andrew was suddenly no more; he joined a lobby where players can't leave. There are some who have been there for years, and others who had only just barely gotten used to the lobby by the time he joined. As he spends more time with the crewmates, Andrew (now Red) battles against his own anxiety, fighting to get a grip on his humanity and against the Impostor, an otherworldly parasitic entity that kills and sabotages the lobby, which tries to consume him using its manipulation. Gaining patient mentors in Blue, Yellow, and Purple and antagonistic rivalries with the analytical Green and the seemingly arrogant Black, Red starts to think that he might actually belong here unlike in the real world. And maybe... maybe they don't need to escape so badly.

A girl is crushed by the people she trusted the most - family who used her, friends who abandoned her, and the one person she loved who threw her away when she needed him. . . . . . She dies with only three things burning in her chest: regret, rage, and the question that never left her - "Why me?" . . . . . But destiny is not done with her. . . . . . She wakes up again... in the past. Same life. Same people. Same betrayals waiting to happen. Except this time, she remembers everything. . . . . . Every lie. Every manipulation. Every betrayal. Every crack in her illusions. . . . . Now she has a chance to break the cycle. . . . . . But can she change her fate... or is she trapped in the same destiny that killed her once? . . . . . .

The platform fell silent. Silly stepped forward, her voice cutting through the Hermits like a blade. "Breaking and entering. Burglary. Unlawful alteration of timelines." The crowd shifted uneasily. Scar's smile faltered. Mumbo's brow creased. But Silly wasn't finished. Her gaze swept over them-cold, merciless. A stunned hush rippled outward. Then she said it-clear, final, devastating: "He is the infamous villain... the World Destroyer: Grian." Every Hermit froze. Scar whispered, "You're lying." Mumbo stepped forward, shaking. "You don't know him." Xisuma's jaw tightened. "This isn't Grian." But Silly only stared back at them, unblinking. "Then where is he?" And that was the moment- the breathless, terrifying moment- when they all realized: Grian was gone. And CHRONOS had come to claim him. Or A long-running 'what if' fic connecting all Grian lore into a single theory, asking-and answering-who Grian really is. Cross posted on A03
