Everything that ever happened to Grace McNeil can be traced back to one moment in time. The day she officially died. From that fracture came five lives, all changed beyond repair: the dead who were left behind, the traitor who walked away, the guilty who could never forget, the victor who would eventually pay dearly, and the girl left frozen, waiting for the past to return. S.H.I.E.L.D. was meant to be a fresh start-a way out of the ghosts of her cloudy past. Instead, it became the beginning of something darker: a web of lies, old wars, and choices that refuse to stay buried. Yet even now, something remains. Something the rot could not corrupt. Someone worth fighting for. - Steve rogers x FEM OC 1998 - 2025 IM RE - WRITING THE ENDING

She was given to him as duty, not desire. Married into a kingdom that never wanted her, she becomes the silent queen of a powerful and feared king-one who meets her patience with sarcasm and her grace with indifference. To him, she is weak. Replaceable. Unworthy of notice. But while he rules with power and pride, she survives with quiet strength. As whispers turn into threats and the court begins to test her, the king is forced to see what he once dismissed. And when danger comes for her, he realizes something far more terrifying than war- Losing her is no longer an option. A slow-burn royal romance about endurance, underestimated strength, and a love that was never meant to exist.

[Arknights x Male Reader story] "There is always light, even in the darkest of places. Extend your hand and march forward, for you see over the horizon, the light that brings forth hope." A helping hand in need is all that he is. A man with no identity. A human who simply goes by facing many different challenges and events every day. Some similar and some different. He also has the luck of attracting a lot of unwanted attention. Did he mention that he's not normal in terms of Terra standards? He's just your average Earthling who died and got reincarnated into the world of Terra.

Amara Monroè learned long ago that closeness comes with a cost. Her life is built on structure, silence, and the kind of distance that keeps old wounds from splitting open. Cold lectures, sharp rules, and an unapproachable reputation-it's easier to be feared than to risk being hurt again. Madison Laurent is everything Amara is not: bright, stubborn, endlessly sweet, and unafraid to argue her point until she's heard. She's the student who lingers after class, the one who meets Amara's cutting words with laughter, the one who sees through the walls Amara swore no one would ever breach. What begins as irritation turns dangerous, because Madison's sunshine feels too much like hope, and hope is the one thing Amara promised herself she could never afford. It's wrong. It's forbidden. Amara knows she should walk away. But Madison has a way of making even the darkest rooms feel like home... and Amara isn't sure she has the strength to leave.

After losing the love of his life, Wen Lang devoted his remaining years to raising their child, Gao Lele. When Wen Lang turned fifty, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, caused by his profound attachment to his late mate, Gao Tu, who had died almost two decades earlier. Since then, Wen Lang had been making arrangements to leave his son in the best possible conditions before his own passing. He was ready for the end. As he closed his eyes for the last time with Lele holding his hand, he never imagined that when he'd open them again, he would be back in his nineteen-year-old body.

[READ]: This book contains strong language and mentions of violence. Suitable for a 16+ demographic. The book cover is originally drawn by the author themselves, too. The debut installment of the HYDRA web novel series. With the passage of time, the empty seat of the Director of the Sombre Arts remains void of any of the art's successors sitting on it for years. Its recent possessor of both seat and title mysteriously vanished and was presumed dead due to extensive searches throughout the continent of Agmadoren with no leads. However, instances of chaos began appearing without reason throughout the entire nation of Galamona; the balance of natural law descended into madness, as if foul play was involved. Would our protagonist, a champion of the Maidens of Darkness, find the source of the blight that begins to seep its mayhem throughout the peaceful nation? Set in a fusion of a steampunk world filled with European-Asian inspirations, read more as you delve into this whimsical, fantasy web novel with political play, as well as an extremely detailed look at the various creatures, magic, and locations scattered in the Path of Cathedra.

Sure, she's nervous about joining Hogwarts in third year - but Uncle Remus will be there, so what could possibly go wrong? One morning, she finds her mother - a sharp-tongued ex-socialite with French roots - crying over a newspaper. And everything unravels. Her world wasn't as safe as she thought.

But what happens when he finds himself stepping into Mr. Buckley's bookshop in search of a first edition? Will he leave with more than just a book - perhaps a newfound curiosity about the young woman behind the counter? What will Rosa Woodwell think of the young, genius FBI agent she meets one evening at work? And will this subtle curiosity grow into something more as Rosa tries to manage her health and her relationships at the same time? (Be aware I'm not sticking closely to the Criminal Minds timeline or major plot points. Apologies for my grammar and spelling in advance. Dyslexia is a bitch.)

Years alone-until they tossed a human into his cell. No words. No reason. The Reserve - that's what they call the facility where captured wolves are kept. Officially, it exists for "research and diplomatic purposes," but everyone knows the truth. It's a prison. Insurance, in case things go bad again. He walks toward me and I stop crawling, still on my hands and knees. His chains rattle when he comes closer, and just before he reaches me, they pull tight. He can't take another step. He growls and angrily pulls on them. The growl should make me crawl backwards, but it doesn't. Instead, I realize he's as trapped as I am. "You sure you want to take a step closer?" He sounds almost curious now, like he's genuinely interested in what I'll do. "Just a little more, and there will be nothing that will protect you from me." I look up at him from the floor, craning my neck back. He looks merciless, cold. Strong and powerful even in chains. "Water," I repeat, this time looking up at him and holding his gaze while still on my knees. He raises his eyebrows, looking down at me, not blinking once."Ordering me now?" He tilts his head slightly, focusing on me. This is the second book in the series (The Communicator), but it can be read on its own. Please don't expect anything perfect just yet-it's a first draft and still a work in progress :)
