Enid Rose Ferron had one goal in her mind when she enrolled herself into undergraduate vivmancy programme at Alchemy Institute - clear her fathers name and show the truth of her mother's role during the Second Necromancy War. But wearing fake surname and trying to keep distance from her best friend, Apollo Holdfast, doesn't seem enough as one of the top students notices her similarities to Helene Marino and starts placing the dots. Keeping her facades never felt heavier, as she tries to balance it all, wondering if some things are simply meant to fall apart. 🔥 Story is written as a fanfiction on "Alchemised" by SenLinYu, planned as sequel on Enid Ferron and Apollo Holdfast, placed just after epilogue. I hope some day we get a real second book following those characters, but in the mean time feel free to make any suggestions how to make it feel more compelling.

When a cautious Formula One engineer crosses paths with a damaged comeback driver, she discovers that the most dangerous variable she should assess in the sport isn't speed-but attachment. ✦✦✦ Adriana Santos has always known her place on a championship-winning Formula One team is contingent. Excellence, she learned early, is not the same as security. She works in a role the paddock barely understands-simulating failures before they happen, answering 'what ifs' before they become 'what went wrong', and treating the car like a living thing whose future rests in her hands. Her work is quiet, precise, and easily erased the moment she becomes inconvenient. She is careful because she has to be. She knows Joshua Thomas long before she meets him: the driver who changed his name to fit in, the anomaly on a rival team forever tipped for titles. To Adriana, he's a reaction curve that never quite returned to baseline after last season's crash. His comeback is framed as resilience. Many are simply waiting to see him fail. They meet by accident, in a moment stripped of his usual extravagance and pretence. Adriana notices what she always notices-the face behind the mask, the way he laughs through failure like it doesn't frighten him. Adriana doesn't forget him, though. She keeps her distance but Joshua doesn't, and their reluctant friendship begins to bend into something riskier. And they both know exactly what it could cost them. ✦✦✦ ✦ Open Novella Contest 2026 | Prompts 24, 29, 30, 44 ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2026 ʙʏ ᴀᴜᴅʀᴇʏ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ.
