This is part two of my "Saturn is not too far" clean Romance story. Prior has found her place at Kashion's side-but in the palace, she is far from accepted by everyone. As she tries to navigate a world of expectations and unspoken rules, old truths and new rumors begin to collide dangerously. At the same time, scientists are working under intense pressure on developments whose consequences no one can fully predict. Experiments spiral out of control, and not everything that is discovered seems explainable. Above it all looms a term that is mentioned more and more often-quietly, almost in passing: "The New Dawn." But the closer one gets to it, the more questions arise. What is really hidden behind it? And why does it seem to be more closely connected to Prior than it should be? Caught between growing mistrust, hidden knowledge, and a love put to the test, Prior and Kashion must decide whom they can trust-and what they are willing to risk.

A chance meeting beneath falling cherry blossoms was never meant to change anything. Liwei, a duty-bound prince, lives a life shaped by expectation, where every step is chosen for him and every path leads back to the palace. Meixiu lives beyond those walls-quiet, hidden, and untouched by the rules of his world. When they meet in the mountains, it is nothing more than a moment. A song. A glance. A quiet conversation that should have meant nothing at all. But then it happens again. And again. Not enough to call it fate. Not enough to ignore it. As their paths continue to cross in the spaces between their worlds, something begins to grow-soft, unspoken, and impossible to place. Because some connections are not meant to be rushed. And some are not meant to exist at all.

The Eye has seen-the world will end, unless the apocalypse is properly thwarted. Unfortunately, this task has been handed to the two worst people for the job. Gadowyn Harker is a poison-peddling witch of the Gold City with a curse: if she loves, she will lose her powers-and herself. Beau "The Beautificent" Beguile (not his real name) is a smug necromancer who cons the rich and has a lifelong allergy to love, and all its messy bits. Now they must do the unthinkable: bring a dragon and a future knight-princess-sworn enemy of dragonkind-together, romantically. The world would do well to start praying; the chances of success are slim at best. Meanwhile, the Gold City teeters on the brink of collapse, undead roam the streets (entirely Beau's fault), and the end of the world draws ever closer. Somehow, Gadowyn and Beau must save it all with love-without falling prey to it themselves. First draft written for ONC 2026 | Main Prompts 11 & 98

Some love stories don't end. They just... stop. Five years ago, Sophie Lane was left at the altar. No explanation, no goodbye, just silence where her future used to be. Since then, she's rebuilt her life carefully, deliberately, making sure she never stands close enough to anyone to be broken like that again. Now a respected editor, Sophie knows how to fix stories. What she doesn't know is how to face the man who shattered hers. Ethan Cole was once the love of her life. Now he's her newest project, a bestselling author with a failing manuscript and ten weeks to save it. He asked for her. She doesn't know why. Working together means revisiting everything they never said... and everything he never explained. Because some stories demand to be rewritten. And some endings refuse to stay unfinished.

I hope you read and feel understood. I hope you read and are encouraged. I pray you experience life and life more abundantly that is found in Christ alone. Thanks for reading!

Grace Evans has always lived quietly, preferring the company of sketchbooks, music, and the small comforts of her everyday life. Love was never something she imagined for herself - just something that existed in the pages of books she read late into the night. Isaac Reed has always been part of her world, steady and familiar, close enough to notice the little things she tries to hide and patient enough to never ask for more than she's willing to give. As moments stretch into years, and glances linger longer than they should, Grace begins to realize that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks - sometimes, it arrives softly, gently, and in the spaces you least expect it. · ｡ ･ ˚ ₊ ✧ ⋆ BEAUTY IN LOVING IS A HIGHSCHOOL, BROTHERS BESTFRIEND/BESTFRIENDS BROTHER, SPORTS ROMANCE TRIGGER WARNINGS; This book will include some topics that readers may find heavy or triggering.
