Growth Stories

There are certain things in life that everyone knows. When asked though, how they came to possess knowledge of this information, a confused look will enter their face. Because there are just certain things in life- certain facts and pieces of knowledge - that are universal. Fact number one. In order to be Alpha in the Alba Rosa pack, one must first challenge and defeat the Alpha. Fact number two. It's a trick. Because only one in possession of Alpha Blood has any hope of defeating the Alpha. Fact number three. No one challenges the Alpha. But there is another fact. An additional piece of knowledge that many know of, yet never express out loud. Fact number four. These three facts do not apply to someone like Soraya.

Ling & Orm: Canonical Story In the world of rising stars and relentless spotlight, Ling a reserved yet razor-sharp from Hong Kong with Thai roots and Orm a fiery Thai heiress with a heart too big for her perfectly curated world, meet at the crossroads of ambition and fate. Their journey begins in the training room of Thailand's competitive entertainment industry, where dreams often collide rather than align. Still, they remain tethered through texts unsent, eyes that linger too long on old photos, and hearts that ache for what almost was. Now, years later, rumors swirl: The company will create GL series. Ling is casting. And Orm? She never stopped waiting their path to cross again. When they're cast together in The Secret of Us, chemistry bleeds into reality. Ling's gentle strength grounds Orm's impulsive fire, while Orm's bold love reminds Ling how it feels to be seen, not just as a performer, but as a person. What begins as scripted intimacy blurs into something neither of them can deny. Because maybe, just maybe...the secret of them... was never fiction at all, if the stars align.

When the world ended, nobody expected its newest "hero" to be a three-year-old with chubby cheeks, a wobbly bow, and the emotional stability of a squeaky toy. Celesthe is dropped-literally-from the sky into a zombie-ruined wasteland with nothing but a poofy yellow dress... and a mysteriously clingy blue system screen that refuses to leave her alone. Mutated zombies lurk in the shadows. Monsters crave anything alive. The Nightborne Alpha wants her as a snack. Too bad for them-this baby can run. Armed with strange skills like Baby Dash, Falling Resistance, and the unstoppable power of pure toddler panic, Celesthe bounces, squeaks, and chaos-survives her way through the apocalypse. Her journey begins with one simple quest: Don't die. And somehow... this tiny survivor might just save the world.

James Potter's first introduction into the true wizarding world starts with a broken clock, a heart-to-heart with his father, running into a snobby, very rude kid with a strange brother who he tells himself he doesn't like, and wounds on his palms that he'll continue to bring up long after they heal. OR: A Marauders fanfic, centered around James Potter, that's all about growing up, meeting new people, and finding the little things in life that make every day seem a bit less dreadful than usual. Pranks, laughter, tears, comfort. Just four boys, learning, loving, and (at least for a bit) living. All the while, the world beyond Hogwarts grows more dangerous with each day. Basically, James Potter is young, dumb, ridiculously immature, and has no idea what he's getting into. Good thing he meets 3 other young, dumb, and ridiculously immature kids. Now they can wander the world in confusion together. :) Honestly, just read the story, and if you like it, stick around! <3

A book of poems from an amature author

Hidup tidak selalu tentang menjadi kuat-kadang tentang belajar menerima bahwa kita pernah rapuh. "Broken (Telah Rusak)" adalah kisah tentang kehilangan, penyembuhan, dan keberanian untuk mencintai diri sendiri lagi. Tentang seseorang yang mencoba menyatukan potongan dirinya, satu per satu, meski semua orang bilang itu mustahil.

Roland arrived in the world of Cyberpunk in 2066 - and awakened the PROJECT System. From that moment on, another giant began to quietly rise within the neon sprawl of Night City. Years later, Roland sat by the window, a small mechanical spider with a mantis-shaped head resting in his palm, a pet lizard curled in his arms. The world outside was still dazzling, the city still alive - yet somewhere along the way, something had quietly shifted. During an interview, when someone brought up the Arasaka Corporation, they casually asked: "Arasaka Tower? There's no such building in Night City - at least, not below..." The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting the city skyline - and behind him, a massive inverted triangle blazed with the blinding white PROJECT logo. (CYBERPUNK x LEAGUE OF LEGENDS)

Hunter never wanted to wake up again, but he's glad he did. If not, he would've never met them-or Him. After a near-fatal overdose, Hunter is pulled back into a life he was ready to leave behind. In a last-ditch effort to save him, his mom sends him to a summer camp in the middle of nowhere. He's not interested in second chances or pretending to care-but he's not the only one. In his cabin are three other boys, each carrying more than just a suitcase: Elliot, raised in the faith, but slowly crumbling under the weight of his unanswered questions. Xavier, angry at the world and even angrier at God-for things he can't bring himself to say out loud. Hugo, honest to a fault, pushed away for speaking truths no one wants to hear. None of them came looking for healing. None of them expected to connect. And yet, through shared silences, midnight prayers, confrontations, and laughter they didn't think they were capable of, these four strangers begin to discover a different kind of friendship-and a God who may have been reaching for them all along. Hunter came to camp counting down the days until he could leave. But now? He's starting to wonder if maybe... just maybe... this is where the story really begins.
