    In an ancient, cursed kingdom buried under a dying sun, Princess Wen Huolian is destined to fulfill a prophecy - to destroy the Dragon Lord, Nie Mingjue, and end an age-old curse. But when she flees her forced marriage and the dragon hunts her down, she discovers that prophecy and truth are not the same. Mingjue is not her enemy - he is the curse itself, punished by the gods to live with a heart bound beneath the earth. Huolian's fire was created to kill him... or to free him. In a world where gods fear love more than chaos, Huolian chooses defiance. Together, she and Mingjue burn the heavens, break the chains of fate, and pay the price for freedom - her life for his eternity. Centuries later, in the modern world, a young artist named Lian Wen paints the face of a man she's never met - and dreams of fire and wings. When a stranger with golden eyes visits her exhibition, history begins to repeat itself, and destiny sparks once more. Because some loves are not written in time - they are forged in flame.

    Velia has walked the earth for centuries, feeding in shadows and leaving nothing behind but silence. She is a predator perfected - immortal, untouchable, and long since numb to the fragile lives she consumes. Then one night, in a dim bar thick with smoke and loneliness, a man named Cole takes her hand and refuses to let go. He should fear her. He should run. Instead, he stays. Drawn by his warmth, his stubborn kindness, and the steady rhythm of a heart she cannot silence, Velia finds herself facing something far more dangerous than hunger: the possibility of love. But monsters do not get happy endings. As her thirst grows and her past begins to close in, Velia must decide whether to protect Cole from the darkness that follows her - or accept that loving him may be the very thing that destroys them both. In a world where immortality is a curse and restraint is agony, one choice will determine whether Velia remains a creature of the night... or becomes something more.

    He never quite belonged. Not to the city. Not to her. Not even to his own reflection. A man, nameless in his final moment, bleeds into the soil beneath a twilight sky-wounded not just in flesh, but in the quiet, constant way that life wounds the misfit soul. He is the ghost of a song lyric. A living ache. A whisper carried too far. And now, in a field that neither judges nor remembers, he waits for the last breath to fade from his chest. ⸻ Inspired by the haunting melancholy of Radiohead's "Creep" and "Let Down," this standalone poetic piece captures a dying man's final thoughts as he slips from the world-alone, forgotten, and yet strangely seen in the stillness of nature. The story does not romanticize death, but it does stare it in the face and find something quietly transcendent: the chemical reaction of blood meeting dirt. The bittersweet hope of someday growing wings. The beauty of unbecoming. For those who've ever felt alien in their own skin... For those who've ever wanted to disappear, but imagined becoming something more instead... This story is not a solution. It's a moment. A funeral hymn for the ones who leave gently, but not without meaning.

    "He painted her from a dream-never knowing she'd wake up and change everything." Luca Valentine has everything a man could want-wealth, looks, and a future paved in gold by his powerful, high-society parents. But none of it matters. Beneath the designer suits and forced smiles lies a lonely soul who would trade his inheritance for a canvas and a quiet studio. What he truly craves isn't boardrooms or backroom deals-but the freedom to create. At 23, Luca's secret sanctuary is a hidden art studio above a sleepy little coffee shop, where his real friends-artists and dreamers-see him for who he is: kind, funny, and emotionally guarded. His masterpiece? A breathtaking portrait of a woman he's never met-mysterious, radiant, and hauntingly familiar. She's just paint and fantasy... or so he believes. When Luca's controlling parents deliver an ultimatum-marry by his next birthday or lose the family legacy-he spirals. Alone with his thoughts and his painting, he whispers his sorrows to the canvas. That night, a storm cracks the sky... and Eliora, the woman from the painting, steps into his world. She's real. Alive. And everything he's ever longed for. But the miracle comes with questions. Who is Eliora? Where did she come from? Why does her presence bend the rules of reality? As Luca and Eliora grow closer, sparks fly-romantic, emotional, and magical. But not everyone is pleased. Vanessa Hart, a cunning young woman at his family's firm, has her eyes on Luca-and his fortune. When she discovers Eliora's otherworldly origin, the claws come out. Jealousy turns dangerous, and the line between love and obsession begins to blur. Now Luca must navigate a world where art and life collide, secrets unravel, and his heart is caught between destiny and duty. To protect Eliora, he must uncover the truth behind her existence-and face the ultimate question: Would you follow love... even if it led you into another world?

    What remains of a voice once it has burned for someone else? What have love's teeth etched amidst my soul? A collection of fragments stitched from longing, ruin, scent, music and sound. Each piece a ghost reaching for the warmth that scorched it. Echoes navigating the tender wreckage of desire, memory, and identity through layered, sensory writing. I am quite unsure of what I'm doing here, this work will be an amalgam of random spurs of inspiration. The lamentation of a few flaps of skin stitched together by circumstances and attempting to appear human.. Language can be and will be : english, french, italian, german, portuguese - it'll depend on the inspiration that'll come expire on a blank page.

    In the shadow of Rome's conquest, a child is born of two worlds-Alonwyn, daughter of an African soldier torn from Aethiopia and a Celtic woman of Gaul. Orphaned by violence and raised by a druid who teaches her the old ways, she grows into a woman revered for her voice, her wisdom, and the uncanny depth of her gaze. But when Rome's legions return to burn her village and desecrate the sacred grove, grief and fury awaken a power darker than she ever imagined. In the ashes of her people, the goddess Carthwyn-she who governs death and sacred terror-offers Alonwyn the Bone Harp, an instrument strung with sorrow itself. With it, she may summon vengeance so absolute it would stain the earth forever. Alonwyn must choose: surrender her spirit to the goddess and let her song become a dirge of death, or defy the divine, bearing the weight of memory rather than bloodshed. Her journey is one of mourning and defiance, where music becomes both wound and healing, and where the gods themselves test the limits of mortal resolve. Myth and history entwine in The Bone Harp, a story of ancestry, vengeance, and the redemptive power of memory. Through Alonwyn's struggle, we are reminded that even in a world devoured by empire, there is strength in refusing to forget-and in choosing life when death beckons.

    🌊 How the Ocean Drowned the One with Glory By Maren Thorne 𝖂𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝕬𝖓𝖈𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖘 𝕱𝖆𝖎𝖑: Where Anchors Fail Have you ever seen the sea take down something too mighty to break? Not because it was weak. But because it was glowing. This is not a love letter. It's a warning. To the ones who rise too high, who carry too much light, who think they can sail untouched. The ocean has a type-he's drawn to glory. And when your shine matches his hunger, he pulls you under. Not because you were broken, But because you burned too brightly. This is a poetry story about drowning without water. About carrying salt in your blood until you feel nothing. About becoming something violent just to survive. And about the pain of being watched while you suffer-only to be blamed for burning. He doesn't care how powerful you are. He waits. He swallows. And when he's done, you'll be just a story told in echoes and fossil bones. Because the ocean doesn't destroy the weak-he devours the ones who dared to be strong.
