Every Monday at 9 a.m., the blog posts appear. Anonymous. Precise. Unforgiving. They tell stories no one dared to tell out loud-about abuse, desire, lies, loyalty, and the cost of staying quiet. And every Monday, someone's life cracks open. Set between present-day investigations and memories from one brutal summer, Monday 9 a.m. follows a group of teenagers and young adults whose lives are bound together by secrets they never agreed to share-but can no longer escape. At the center is Ayda: sharp, observant, too young to carry the weight she's been given, and stubborn enough to fight back anyway. Alongside her are NK, who learns that survival sometimes means leaving everything behind, and Nara, caught between love, motherhood, and the past she never fully chose. Then there's Julien-brilliant, reckless, loyal in all the wrong ways-and the question no one wants to ask: what happens when love grows inside a system that was never meant to protect you? As blog posts resurface old wounds, friendships fracture, relationships blur the line between safety and danger, and the law becomes both weapon and shield. Courtrooms replace classrooms. Silence becomes evidence. And truth-when it finally speaks-doesn't sound heroic. It sounds messy. Human. Unfinished.

Park Jun‑Seok never asked to be the world's most photographed boy. He never asked for the fame, or the headlines, or the cameras . But when his life takes a sharp turn and he's forced to move from Seoul to London, the spotlight becomes the least of his problems. London is colder. Louder. And more rain. And so is Lee Heuk‑jang‑mi - the girl everyone knows, but no one truly understands. Smart. Beautiful. Untouchable. A girl with thorns hidden under perfect edges. Girl who doesn't fall for anyone... and definitely not for soft boys with gentle eyes. But Jun‑Seok isn't what she expected. And Heuk-jang‑mi especialy isn't what the world thinks she is. He's light in a place she thought was all dark. She's the thorns he never expected under the edges. And somewhere between the grey London skies, and the secrets they both try to hide... something begins to show. Even if they don't want to. In a city that changes everything, two opposites meet - thorns meeting light, light meeting thorns - and nothing stays untouched. 9th in badgirl out of 28.4k stories. 9th in goodboy Photos are not mine.

Jane Cross is looking for work. Just a little something to hopefully save her from being homeless, something her stalker would love to take advantage of, she's certain. What she isn't looking for is anything to complicate her life even further. She thinks she's found that when she gets the job at Remington Southern Construction. John Remington is hoping the new secretary won't make the same mistakes the fill-in did. Or maybe it was the plumber. All he knows is that money is going missing and someone is going to be held responsible. He has no idea the chaos that is about to surround him.

11 years of silence. An eternity to hate one another... or to find each other again. It all began behind screens. Two families, two empires, and a spark that should have flickered out. On one side, the Italian mafia of Eros-a predatory tribrid as magnetic as he is implacable. On the other, Alejandro's Mexican cartel-a vampire whose cruelty is matched only by his arrogance. Then, nothing. The ties snapped, leaving behind a decade of resentment and secrets. Now, the time for reckoning has come. A confrontation is inevitable, but the rules have changed. Alice & Alejandro: She hides her grief behind a sun-drenched energy and lost powers. He is everything she loathes: unpredictable and dangerous. Yet, Alejandro is the only one who sees through her facade. Between provocations and ego, can Alejandro change to become the anchor she needs, or will he end up consuming everything? Eros & Lola: He believes himself untouchable behind an ego of iron. She, with a fiery spirit, hunts him without ever backing down, pushing him to his absolute limits. Will Eros dare to face his demons to give her the place and the respect she deserves? In the shadows of this conflict, Eros fights his own monsters. He is the ultimate predator-the one even vampires fear above all else. When the past catches up with power, is love a weakness or the ultimate redemption? Can one learn to love when they were only taught to destroy? Is respect the greatest remedy for trauma? And can you truly rebuild upon ruins that are eleven years old?

"Do you always hum when you think, or is that just your way of testing my patience?" "Oh I beg your soul shut the fudge cake up Jace!" Ambervert ; she didn't sign up for a mafia plot, but life didn't ask either. Amber Adair is socially fluent, emotionally confusing, and somehow always in the wrong place at the right time. Between a brother who won't explain anything, a best friend Zara who definitely knows too much, and Jace Salieri , who communicates mainly in silence and judgement , her life stops being normal very quickly. And the worst part? She might actually be okay with it. He watches her like a threat. Protects her like a secret. And hides a world she was never meant to see.

Shubman Gill Fanfiction There are two versions of every love story. The one the world gets to see. And the one that quietly lives inside two hearts. Everyone thinks they know Shubman Gill. They don't. Because every October 7, while the world celebrates him... he remembers something no one else does. Maybe love isn't about finding the right person. Maybe it's about what you choose to hold on to... even after everything changes.

Because some words are better left unsaid-- some flames don't go out, no matter how far the tide pulls away. - canon divergent after season 3 - - slow burn, slow build, friends to lovers, bickering, fluff, hurt/comfort, misunderstandings, angst - - cover art by yukswl0v3 on tumblr -

The empire of Aryavarta was not built on wisdom; it was forged in absolute, suffocating fear. From the lion throne of Ilavarti, Samrat Sarvadaman rules with ruthless efficiency. They call him the Beast King, a tyrant whose heart turned to iron after a royal tragedy. For the stability of his empire, he must marry. Terrified by rumours of his cruelty, the mountain kingdom of Videha sends Avantika, their overlooked, cursed princess, in place of her sister. But behind Avantika's submissive exterior lies a warrior, a master strategist, and a scholar who speaks a forbidden shadow language. In a court where intelligence is deadlier than treason, she must play a flawless game. When Avantika uncovers a conspiracy pointing to a coup, she is thrust into a web of betrayal involving rival kingdoms and a mythic weapon capable of altering destiny. As the palace descends into paranoia, an unlikely alliance forms between the ruthless emperor and the silent queen. Sarvadaman quickly realizes his new bride can match him move for move. Yet trust is fragile, and one wrong step could shatter the empire forever. The Throne of Ilavarti is an epic saga of political intrigue, ancient mysteries, and two dangerous minds who become each other's forever.

Sylvia is seventeen, freshly graduated high school, and just moved in with her aunt at a mobile home park in rural Arkansas. Longing to forget her past and create a life for herself, she's eager to jump into adulthood, and meets a neighbor who seems to be the only person she can connect with in her new town. I was inspired by user kissthigh and her tiktok series "let's bother your older neighbor you have a small (big) crush on!"

"They got the wrong person!" That was Sable's first thought when she was chosen. But the dragon academy wasn't looking for strength. She was chosen because she didn't fit in. Her dragon refuses to obey and is her exact opposite in every way, the school turns out to be a survival trial that kills more kids than it graduates, and every step away from home pulls her further into chaos. Caught between a safe, familiar past and a reckless, tempting future she's not ready for, Sable must risk all in a gamble that could cost everything. === I haven't read many books about dragons, but the ones I have read were cool. I decided I would try my hand at it and make it as realistic as I could. There are no powers in this book. No talking, flaming breathing dragons, shapeshifters, witches, vampires, or anything else like that. It's just a story that could almost be real. I combined the dragons with a twisted version of the Hunger Games. Instead of a strict school system, it's literally survival. The teens chosen from each village get thrown into the wilderness with dragons that aren't opposed to killing. If you make it, you graduate. Not many make it. It's slow build book for sure. For example, the first 8 chapters or so only cover about a day and a half of Sable's adventures after being chosen. There is also destined to be romance in this book, a love triangle to be exact, but it's clean as a whistle I swear. This book is entirely mine (and very unedited lol) and no one is allowed to copy it. I'm actively writing book, so please forgive any inconstancies along the way. I'll do my best to give images of the characters, dragons and humans, at the beginning of some of the chapters. QN P. S. If you like this book, drop a comment at the end. I have a sequel in mind, but I'll only do it once I've reached a certain amount of views.

At first, it was simple. Shared tasks. Easy conversation. Unexpected laughter. But somewhere between deadlines and late-night messages that arrived at inconvenient hours, the lines began to blur. He was warm... until he wasn't. Present... until he disappeared. Engaging... until silence took over. But distance doesn't erase ambiguity. It sharpens it. Some people don't leave you. They just stop replying the same way.

The multiverse was immense. The possibilities were infinite. In one world, a man named Satoru Mikami dies and reincarnates as a slime, renamed Rimuru Tempest by the Storm Dragon Veldora. In this world, a man named Raymón Marollo survives a near-death encounter and continues to serve as Mr. Saiko's trusted bodyguard. In another world, Satoru Mikami survives, passing out from blood loss in the streets of Japan, only to wake up in the hospital, alive. In this world, Raymón dies in a crumbling warehouse, making a brutal and bloody last stand to protect his employer and those he commanded. Upon his last breath, Raymón awakens to total darkness. Raymón reincarnates as a slime.

They're both always on the move - yet somehow, the world keeps bringing them back to each other. Aiah drifts from layover to layover - a flight attendant navigating airports, time zones, and fleeting connections. Mikha moves fast - living by precision, adrenaline, and the relentless rhythm of her own life, rarely seen for who she truly is. But in stolen moments, laughter, and unexpected conversations, they find something worth slowing down for: each other. Because maybe not all roads lead home - some lead to the right person.

Jodi Munch is the name of a popular mukbanger, famous for consuming huge amounts of controversial food on livestream. From consuming whole weddings cakes in one sitting, to butchering raw octopus live for an 'authentic Korean dining experience', the more outrageous the meal, the more money she makes. There is no boundary she won't cross to grow her channel. But it all ends with one livestream when her address gets doxxed. As a prank someone called in a fake emergency to the police. Minutes later a SWAT team stormed into her house at midnight. One stray bullet ended it all. Well, sort of... After that life ended, Jodi was reborn into the body of a medieval peasant. Jodi stared in dismay at the leaky farmhouse, the starving family, the pesky relatives, the aunt who was kicked out of her husband's house, and the monsters prowling outside. "I'm in hell, aren't I?"
