    Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

    In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the crucial sixty-minute window after a traumatic injury-the brief span of time when the right care can mean the difference between survival and loss. Dr. Mason Carpenter lives for that hour. At St. Mary's Trauma Center, he is the golden boy of the Emergency Department. He's brilliant and calm under pressure. He's addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, the absolute rush of saving patients knocking on death's door. At home, he's a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart - the love of his life - Honey. Or, he used to be. Honey Carpenter has loved Mason since they were fourteen, since he was the gangly boy with hearts in his eyes who stumbled through asking her out for ice cream. She stood beside him through medical school, residency, crushing debt, sleepless nights, and every sacrifice it took to build the life they dreamed about. Now she is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He's missing ultrasound appointments, the gender reveal, the baby shower, and, most importantly, he's not there to support Honey - who's having an incredibly difficult first pregnancy. Honey feels her husband is drifting farther and farther away into the ED, and no matter how many times she tries to tell him she is lonely, exhausted, and afraid, Mason gives her the same answer. "They need me." But Honey needs him too. As her pregnancy progresses, her loneliness twists into something darker, but her doctor dismisses her symptoms as "first-time mom jitters." And her husband is too busy saving strangers to see his own wife fading away. Until Honey collapses at home and is rushed into Mason's emergency room, fighting for her life and their daughter's. Now Mason has to reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what it may cost him - the woman he loves more than anything. And he can't lose Honey. He won't survive it. 💛 Second Chance 💛 Marriage In Trouble 💛 No Cheating

And if the third time really is the charm, maybe this will finally be the time that they get it right. Maybe. [ February. 2022. - September 2022. ]

    Fun with the Forsaken killer gang. A whole load of drama, silly topics, and mental issues. Please don't mind if my first few chapters suck - the later ones are better. Let the chaos begin. There is a liiiiiittle bit of 1xNoli in here. Forsaken - essentially the land of hell, the afterlife, whatever feels most appropriate to you. Survivors brutally murdered day after day, forced to repeat the same acts of heroic violence or simply stand on the sidelines watching their dear friends get ripped apart. Killers slashing, decapitating, and all things gory, no mercy on display for anyone trailing unfortunately in their path. A forever bloodthirsty hunt. Pity is rained down upon survivors of this place, often portrayed as the only ones suffering, both mentally and physically. Yet, has anyone ever given a second thought to the ones doing the killing? Seemingly not. My interpretation of the killer gang, not including unreleased individuals or skins often. In a way, this is a 'slice of life' type fan-fiction. I'm kind of taking requests. Some silly chapters, some not so silly. Be prepared. TAGS - IGNORE THIS!

    "Listen to me carefully," the woman said and grabbed his chin tightly to forcefully make him look into her eyes, "Love and happiness are two things people like you can't have, honey. You're probably wondering why. But it's easy to explain: the only thing everyone cares about is the family you were born into. It doesn't matter what you think or what's inside of you. You'll survive by wearing a mask and not letting anyone find out about your most vulnerable side. It's unfair, isn't it? Well, that's just how life is. That's why you're going to marry Jeon Jungkook and be the quiet, reserved and classy husband everyone expects you to be. You'll look pretty and obey, raise your future children and keep your head high up, do you understand?" Jimin was only eighteen when his father Park Woosung decided to marry him off. "People can be really cruel sometimes, you know. I'm scared of him. I don't want to end up like my mother... I want freedom." Not really having a choice, he agreed. "If you want freedom, do what my sister did. Leave this all behind." Knowing his family's curse followed him everywhere, he desperately tried to escape their disturbing secrets. "He wouldn't let me." Only to find himself trapped in another vicious circle. "You know, you kind of remind me of Ellin. She used to be the most innocent person in this house, yet there was something so incredibly sad about her. Even if she seemed older than her actual age, sick and tired of this world, I would always see a scared and helpless child when I looked at her." #Jikook Inspired by: Secession Studios- Lucifer's Waltz

    Brothers of the Empire Series. Wealth. Secrets. Temptation. Some families build legacies. Mine built cages. I wasn't supposed to get tangled in this world-not like this. I was meant to laugh, distract, play the fool, keep everything light. But when the past refuses to stay buried and desire claws its way in, even my sharpest jokes can't cover the cracks. This is a story of glitter and grit-of nights too long, whispers too loud, and glances that sting sharper than blades. It's about the hunger you're not supposed to admit, the kind of pull you can't reason away. It isn't just romance. It's obsession dressed in silk. It's devotion wrapped in danger. It's chaos disguised as laughter, where every smile hides a secret-and every touch could burn the world down. If you like chaotic friend groups, dangerous family dinners, slow-burn tension that catches fire when you least expect it, and the fine line between love and obsession, you're in the right place. ----------------- (You can read it as a standalone, but I highly recommend starting with the first book. It will give you a deeper understanding of the story, the characters' backstories, and the overall timeline, making it easier to follow what's happening in each book.) (There are seven books in total, and each one will stay unreleased until the previous is finished.) ------------------ 1# 🥇(Representation) 17/1/2026 1# 🥇 (Sibling chaos) 8/11/2025 2# 🥈 (Convenience) 7/1/2026 3# 🥉 (Mexico) 10/04/2026 3# 🥉(Exotic) 19/05/2026 6# (Goldboy) 7/11/2025 6# (Fast) 26/11/2025 7# (Marriage Of Convenience) 30/10/2025 9# (Slow) 8/11/2025

    When You Forgot Me (Read story info uploaded in part for better understanding) Pond Naravit Lertratkosun has everything money can buy-wealth, status, a powerful family name. Everything except peace. After surviving the accident that stole his parents and shattered his mind, Pond has lived trapped between past and present, feared by strangers and pitied by society. No doctor has ever been able to reach him. No treatment has ever worked. Until Phuwin. Young, patient, and far too gentle for a house full of broken things, Phuwin agrees to take on the case no one else could handle. What begins as duty slowly turns into something far more dangerous when Pond-fragile, affectionate, and starved for warmth-starts to cling to the one person who makes the nightmares stop. Inside the Lertratkosun mansion, hearts soften, jealousy sparks, and wounds long buried begin to surface. But healing has a price, and some recoveries demand more than anyone is ready to lose. With an overprotective older brother, a sunshine brother-in-law, old ghosts, unwanted rivals, and a love that grows in the unlikeliest place, this is a story about trauma, memory, second chances, and loving someone in every version of who they are. Some people survive an accident. Some people survive forgetting. Some people only learn to live when they're loved. (Note: This is going to be a long story..! So pls be patient)
