Belonging Stories

Born of fire and shadow, raised by the sea, Tsa'eya te Ronal'itan was never meant to survive-let alone belong. Taken from the Mangkwan Ash Na'vi and adopted into the Metkayina clan, Tsa'eya grows up straddling two worlds that do not forgive difference. Though she bears the name of Ronal and Tonowari, the reef still whispers of ash, and the past she barely remembers refuses to stay buried. As war creeps closer to the oceans and old grudges resurface, Tsa'eya must prove that loyalty is not defined by blood, nor faith by birthplace. Bound to her deadly skimwing Räxey and shaped by Ronal's teachings, she becomes a silent blade of the reef-feared by enemies, questioned by allies. Amid rising tides and burning skies, she finds an unexpected anchor in Neteyam, whose steady goodness challenges her guarded heart and teaches her that love does not demand sameness-only trust. Ash Beneath the Tides is a story of identity, chosen family, and the strength it takes to stand firm when the world insists you do not belong-an epic tale of fire meeting water, and the daughter Eywa chose to keep.

Born human in a world that should have rejected her, Diana Chacón survives the Battle of the Tree of Souls as an infant-only to be claimed by Pandora itself. Adopted by Jake Sully and Neytiri, Diana grows up as the eldest of the Sully children, walking the line between two worlds she can never fully belong to. Without a kurru, without tsaheylu, she learns to fight, hunt, and fly through skill alone-earning her place among the Na'vi not by blood or biology, but by will. With her ikran Ny'rah at her side and her mom Trudy Chacón's legacy burning in her veins, Diana becomes a warrior feared by enemies and respected by the People. As new threats rise and old wounds reopen, Diana must face battles not only in the skies of Pandora, but within her own heart-especially when her growing bond with Anoung forces her to confront what it truly means to belong. This is the story of a girl who was never meant to fly... and the world that chose her anyway.

A story of family, love, and self-discovery, Fall of the Jedi follows Kira's journey to uncover who she truly is before the coming storm changes the galaxy forever.

Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out next week, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

What happens when a city forgets its own name? One morning, everyone realizes they can no longer remember the word that once held their city together. The streets remain. The river still flows. People go to work, fall in love, argue, grieve. But without a name, systems begin to fail-banks freeze, borders blur, records erase themselves, and memory becomes unstable. The Day the City Forgot Its Name follows an archivist who watches history quietly reject authority, and a delivery driver whose familiar routes start to lose meaning. As the city unravels, its residents are forced to confront an unsettling truth: names don't just describe places-they authorize ownership, power, and belonging. This is a slow-burn, idea-driven story about memory, bureaucracy, colonial legacy, and what remains when certainty collapses. There are no easy answers, no restored order-only the question of how to live honestly inside a place that refuses to be possessed. If you like stories that linger, unsettle, and stay with you long after the last line, this city is waiting.

Or will her years at Hogwarts be filled with terror and loneliness? Read to find out. Disclaimer, this is my first story so please don't judge the writing to harshly, however if there is something you think needs/ would benefit from improvement please, please, please tell me. Also if you want to see something happen later in the plot let me know. I can't promise I will make it happen but the plot is not set in stone so if it works I will do my best to include it. Final Disclaimer: I do not own the majority of characters in this book, they belong to J.K. Rowling (who I'm sure you all know) The majority of characters in Hydra's year are mine but that is about it. The ones you recognize are likely not mine. Finally, I will try to make this as cannon compliant as possible but there are limits to what I can do! Ok if you're still reading this thank you! And I hope you enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️ Phew... that was long... - A.F.A.

[Ken x Fem!Reader] On Ken's journey to find out who he really is, he meets you (his long-time crush)-a discontinued Barbie named "Basic Barbie"-and you join him, along with other discontinued dolls, in discovering that you all aren't "basic" at all. Warnings: A smidge of angst (self-discovery sort of stuff, friendship repairs), Ken is a warning in and of himself, uh... beach? A/N: This is just something I thought I'd write for fun, because I loved the "Barbie" movie. Thank you so much to my bff (irl) for helping me create the plot for this and bringing the "Kenergy" to it! The idea of "Basic Barbie" was created by me (yay) and isn't supposed to share any resemblance with any other Barbie. If it does, I didn't mean to do that, sorry lol. Otherwise, Barbie and Mattel (the movie and the doll/brand) do not belong to me. Sorry (not sorry) if this is cheesy (so was the movie but no one complains about that 'cause it was that good) as this is not my best writing, but I wanted to do something fun and spontaneous, and "Barbie" is the best place to start.
