One pair of smoldering eyes and one fire extinguisher later, she has met her male love interest, learned that he's a billionaire mafia werewolf and that she's a millionaire vampire werewolf, and chaos ensues. Will the enemies-to-lovers trope work its magic? Or is she doomed to a failed plot in a story that will forever be left unfinished? Enjoy the insanity. She won't. (But I will complete her story because I'm not that mean of an author.)

Wei Wuxian was sure that it would be Lan Wangji that kills him and it would be an honourable death. That's the most he could expect from the second Jade. Then there was his brother, the one love that could save him, redeem the darkness he could feel seeping in. Wei Wuxian hoped that his love for Jiang Cheng would be enough. A prophecy claimed he will love two people. One destined to save his life and the other destined to destroy it. The trouble is, he had no idea which is which. He just hoped that he wasn't counting on the wrong person.

In his forty-three years of life, Ahsan Kabbo had survived more than most. From an ordinary human to a manufactured superhuman. From a man paraded as a trophy to one who dared question the system that built him. From loving the wrong person to marrying the one who mattered. He thought he had learned how to endure anything. He was wrong. Because nothing could have prepared him for being dragged into his brother-in-law's love life- Or for facing the Red Veil again. As the virus resurfaces, so does the fear: the fear of losing the people he loves. And this time, the cost of saving them might be far greater than he's willing to pay. Does every mistake deserve forgiveness? Is friendship worth risking his family? ---- In Wonder Allan's 268 years, he had faced wars, monsters in human skin, and more odd people than he cared to count. He met at least ten of them every day. His sister and his best friend-who also happened to be his brother-in-law-probably counted as six on their own. So noticing something off about the team's medical head should have been easy. It wasn't. Emily Silver was precise, private, and painfully professional, which made the dark circles under her eyes, the short temper, and the way she seemed to be slipping just out of reach... unsettling. Wonder never meant to find her alone in a bar. He never meant to stay. And he most definitely never meant to say yes when she asked- "May I have this dance?" One night. One dance. One kiss. And suddenly, nothing was the same. What followed wasn't just scandal-it was consequence. Soon, Wonder finds himself dragged into something far more dangerous than just chaos: Hope. Was he surprised? Not particularly. Was he mentally prepared? Absolutely not. And especially not when his treacherous heart dared to skip a beat again, despite the bitter aftertaste love had left behind once before. Not when his friendship and family were on the line.

A secret society. An ancient circle that has bound powerful families together for generations. Built on vengeance, money, power and... blood. Luigina has spent most of her life far from her roots-half Ghanaian, half American, and far away from the family she never wanted to return to. But when she is forced back to Ghana, her life collides with the one person she never wanted to face again;her cousin, Violet. Violet is admired, praised-everything Luigina believes her father ever wanted in a daughter. But behind Violet's perfect image stands her father, deeply rooted in the Dark Circle, a powerful and dangerous society that controls the fate of their families. Beneath the respect and wealth lie secrets that pull Luigina into a world where loyalty is deadly and trust is fragile. Then there's Dylan. Dylan becomes Luigina's refuge-her ally, her comfort-and the one person who makes Ghana feel like home. What begins as friendship slowly turns into something deeper, something dangerous. Stolen glances. Unspoken feelings. A love Luigina knows she shouldn't want-but can't escape. Alongside Violet, the three form a fragile friendship that feels impossible yet real. Until Luigina realizes the truth she's been trying to deny; Dylan seems to belong to Violet in ways Luigina never will.

Luigina must confront not only her rivalry with Violet, but the terrifying truth about the boy in secrets and rivalries are written in blood, loving the wrong person could cost everything.

Every day at exactly 3:30 p.m., Misty Hollis's newly adopted cat sits at the door and meows. Misty is a telehealth psychologist who prefers structure over surprises and solitude over small talk. After the world shut down, she built a life that feels safe. Predictable. Contained. No risks. No comparisons. No one looking too closely. But Eliot keeps slipping out. And eventually, Misty follows. He leads her to a quiet street. To an overgrown garden. To a sharp-eyed grandmother who seems to know more than she should. And to Alastair Ward. Protective. Guarded. Devoted to the woman who raised him. A man who has already lost too much and refuses to lose anything else. Including control. Misty was never meant to become part of their world. She's just following a cat. Just passing through. But 3:30 keeps coming. What begins as curiosity becomes routine. Forced proximity turns into lingering conversations. Suspicion softens into slow-burn tension. And the more Alastair sees her, the harder it is for Misty to retreat into the quiet life she built to protect herself. Because falling for someone means being seen. And Misty has spent her whole life trying not to be compared. When old insecurities whisper that she doesn't belong in his world, she does what she has always done. She steps back before anyone else can. But Eliot still waits at the door at 3:30. The question is whether Misty will keep following him when it leads somewhere she cannot schedule, control, or quietly escape. ============ #ONC2026 Prompt 5 =========== AI-assisted: The blurb for this story was developed with AI tools.

What would you do if you woke up one day to find the whole world frozen? Every person, car, plant, animal - birds suspended mid flight, people mid step, cars at a complete standstill on usually busy highways.

And how it can be fixed?

In the Kingdom of Erianon, the seasons influence the magic of its spell casters. Every year a spell caster's power is strengthened by its root season. But what happens when Spring suddenly disappears from the land? The freezing Winter immediately turns into bitter, hot Summer at the vernal equinox. And the spell casters with the elemental abilities of Hydrokinesis, Chlorokinesis and Photokinesis become weaker with every passing year with no Spring. No one knows why or how Spring went missing. Some began to believe that a curse was placed on the kingdom. While others believe that the goddess of Spring, Aviva, was kidnapped by an evil spirit or captured by the other gods due to jealousy. Whatever the cause of Spring's disappearance, what is certain is that the Summer and Winter-bound spell casters increase exponentially in power while the Spring-bound weaken and become bullied outcasts. There is imbalance throughout Erianon. Natural births decline, diseases run rampant through the vulnerable, water is contaminated, and food storages dwindle. After 5 years without Spring, tensions are rising within the kingdom. Protesters flock to the King's court, and under his declining reputation and the pressure of the people, he is left with no choice but to hope the rumors are true and Spring can be restored if Aviva is found. For this task, he will assemble a party of only the strongest and wisest spell casters to send on a quest and solve the most enigmatic mystery in recent history: What happened to Spring? It will be up to the 6 spell casters recruited to restore the missing season and bring back balance or face the wrath of the King if they return with no answers. Who will be named the King's heroes? And will they succeed in this impossible journey?
