    As the newly appointed Sixth Elder, Lucien is expected to embody control, restraint, and tradition. The son of Romeo carries a legacy soaked in history and blood, and now the Council watches his every move. Becoming an Elder should have been an honor. Instead, it feels like a cage. Then one mistake changes everything. In the heat of bloodlust, Lucien does the unforgivable: he turns a human. The newborn vampire is reckless, furious, and entirely unprepared for the eternity forced upon him. With Stephanus standing on one side, the Council demanding obedience on the other, and temptation pulling at his fangs and heart alike, Lucien must decide what kind of Elder he wants to be. Perhaps the real lesson of immortality is that sometimes you can choose both as long as you never lose who you are.

    "Life, is just a game. That we play without tutorial. And me, Shigaraki Tenko, I am... The final boss." When she came back to Japan after the war, Réka didn't find what she expected. No one expected her connection with Tomura, nor the two children by her side. A decade later, Tenko joins Yuei, to prevent that, what happened to his father, would happen again. But the past isn't left behind. It surges back. About a story they ignored. About a cult slowly rising. About a cursed legacy, he both tries to break and is entangled in. ---------- Mature contents: -Strong language -Physical/psychological violence -Bullying/harrassment -Moral ambiguity -Substance use/addiction -Depression/suicide attempt/self-harm -Necrophagy -Lots of mentions around death/grief/mourning since the core theme exploited here is Tomura's death and legacy. TL.DR = I can't gauge each person's sensitivity and mine is basically low so you're warned. ---------- This story is also published on AO3, Inkitt, Quotev, Space Battles and FFN.

    So, I'm trying something a little different with this new installment in the series, and I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea. As much as I adore M/M, I've always wanted to throw my hat into the very small pool of Female!Shane/Male!Ilya stories. I've also been itching to write the actor!Shane trope for quite some time, so I finally decided to combine the two. Another reason I wanted to write this fic is that, while I absolutely love exploring Shane's Japanese heritage, I realized I've been neglecting Ilya's Russian heritage throughout this series. I wanted to give that side of him more attention here and explore it in a way I haven't before. I really hope you'll give it a chance, and if you do, I'd love to hear what you think. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️

    This bittersweet narrative explores the love that once held infinite promise-now loss, grief, and mourning not just the end of her romantic relationship with him, but also the dissolution of their best friendship... and all the future they might have built together: shared holidays, inside jokes turned family traditions, children who would've had his smile. Through poetic vignettes-imaginary photos that were never taken, conversations that never happened-the story captures how deeply love lingers even when it's gone. It's a tender exploration of what *could have been*, if circumstances had aligned differently.

    "'Bout time we head back to the lander," Seonghwa suggests, continuing to record the data the rover's camera caught without as much as a glance in his direction. Hongjoong laughs, "Oh c'mon Seonghwa, just a few more klicks," he spares a glance at the rear view mirror, noting how the older immediately meets his eyes, "This is our closest pass to Daedalus Patera!" The older, worried as always doesn't hesitate to refute, "Hongjoong, we're already way past the rover's operational limits, you know that-" "-Look, how about this?" Hongjoong cuts in before he could get lectured for the fifth time in the trip, "We just drop a sensor package, grab a few pics, and then we're gone, okay?" Seonghwa merely shakes his head fondly at the other's shenanigans, returning his focus back to the screen before him. Hongjoong doesn't resist the smile that blooms on his face the way Seonghwa does when they both know he'd won the argument; as usual. ____________ or: A simple mission gone wrong leaves Hongjoong struggling to make it to the end. That's when things take a different turn, maybe for the worse.

Behind her remained a man who loved her and a daughter who still waits by the door, believing her mother might come home. A raw and emotional poem about betrayal, absence, and the lasting scars left by someone who promised forever and then walked away.
