    𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who's never known stability. Raised by a reckless, unstable mother, she spent her childhood caught between drug runs and police raids, ruining her right for a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

    At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

    When Arlo Mills moves to a new town, he's hoping for a quiet, low-profile life. Struggling with anxiety and being mute, even simple daily tasks can feel overwhelming. He certainly doesn't expect that a seemingly insignificant moment-an awkward encounter in a store aisle-will shift the course of his life entirely. What starts as a chance meeting soon leads Arlo straight into the Wolf's den. Calix Wolf is a name known across the country. A powerful, successful figure in the kink community, he owns an empire of clubs and businesses, and carries a reputation as a dominant, no-nonsense man who always gets what he wants. Gruff and commanding, Calix isn't expecting the soft, trembling young man who can barely meet his eyes and can't speak a word. But something about Arlo draws him in-and Calix is not the type to let go of something that catches his interest. Is the Wolf's den truly a place of danger... or could it become a sanctuary for someone who only wants to disappear? After all, what's a little mouse to do when he finds unexpected safety in the arms of a wolf?

    A story that feels like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. A woman wronged by the world, and the man who considers her his only world. Do Cup Chai follows Vaani, an Income Tax Officer sworn off marriage, tied in matrimony to a hardened Squadron Leader in the IAF. What begins as two names on a paper slowly transforms into mutual companionship, love, and most of all, respect. And yet, while Vaani was tempted to bridge the gap between them, Vihaan's walls made it impossible for him to be vulnerable. A story that moves, breaks, and heals at the same time. For readers who love soft, slow-burning romance, yearning, and finding love in the most unexpected yet beautiful gestures, this book is for you, and I would love it if you gave it a shot. #1 taxes (20/07/2026) #1 military (12/08/2026) #1 generalfiction (12/08/2026) #1 indianarmy (12/08/2026) #3 fighterpilot (20/07/2026) #3 indianairforce (20/07/2026) #3 corruption (02/08/2026) #4 slowromance (12/08/2026)

    This is my fanfiction of the fanon ship Sharplow. Sharplow is Sharpness (conexion) x JudeLow, and is based off of the Minecraft SMP, Strength SMP. This fanfiction is an alternate universe. JudeLow and Sharpness keep accidentally doing actions and say things that they don't mean to, and it leads to them distancing themselves from each other, believing they are the problem. However, after this happens, they start to realise how much the other actually means to them and begin to regret everything... Please do not harass any of the characters featured in this!!! The fanfic includes Swearing, violence, and psychological themes. The fic is completely SFW, but I still apologise if some scenes may be triggering to some. (rest of the info is in chapter 1 author notes <3) Hope you enjoy so far, and please be nice in comments because I don't want others to become uncomfortable or anything, u can swear but no actually targeting or promoting any sort of hate to anybody at all even if they are in the wrong. If you have a concern you want to point out to someone, please say it in a nice manner! ^^ Shout out to Kaithhhhh for inspiring and motivating me to start writing ^^ Go check out their fanfic "~I've Fallen Into Your Trap~" trust me, you will not be dissapointed ^^ Also the cover drawing is my art, please do not take it (or any other of my art) and upload it anywhere else even with credits thanks <3 (Edit: Jude recently said that he actually wasn't completely comfortable with Sharplow but just allows it because "They will break boundaries anyway", so if anyone sees that I accidentally broke a boundary please notify me!!! I want the community to be less toxic and make sure we respect each and every individual :3) Skip to chapter 8 if you want the angst, read the first few chapters if you want the cringe fluff. (EDIT2: IF YOU FOUND THIS ON TeenFic.net OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CLICK OFF IMMIDEATELY! I DIDN'T GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO TAKE MY WORK, SO LETS HELP REPORT IT <3)

    At 17, you don't even know what you want to do next weekend, but suddenly every adult around you starts demanding that you decide what you're going to do for the next fifty years of your life. "What are you going to study?", "How are you going to make a living?", "Do you know what you're going to be yet?". As if right now you were nothing, and you were only worth something if you had a college degree hanging on the wall. This book isn't a self-help manual or the typical adult speech saying "everything is going to be okay." It's simply the voice of someone going through the exact same thing as you, right now. Across 50 short and straight-to-the-point chapters, I talk about senior year anxiety, the lie of career aptitude tests, the pressure to not "waste time," and that strange loneliness of watching everyone on social media pretend they have their life together while you don't even know where to start. I don't have all the answers for your future, but this book is here to remind you that there's nothing wrong with you, you're not falling behind, and you don't need to have your entire life figured out at 17. It's okay to doubt. It's okay not to know everything today.

    We all carry pieces of ourselves that no one else gets to see. This Is Not the End is a collection of thoughts, emotions, questions, fears, and moments that are sometimes difficult to put into words. A journey through loneliness, friendship, love, change, emptiness, and the search for meaning-told through seven different fragments of one mind. Maybe some things hurt. Maybe some things change us. Maybe some things leave pieces behind. But perhaps... this is not the end.
