    Pharma giant Goldenrod has closed every last skatepark in Montreal-and local skater gal Lulu is on the case! During her investigation of the conspiracy she suspects, she quite literally falls down a rabbit hole into a bizarre secret kept by Goldenrod's old nemesis: Sanctuary 17223, a research facility run by the AI doll Alvin, currently trapped in its own reality-breaking simulation technology. After freeing Alvin and accidentally wiping his database, Lulu teams up with him-or rather, becomes the User he is programmed to serve-to uncover the full story. Their first discovery, however, is that Lulu was onto something and is now being accused of a crime she (mostly) didn't commit. Stuck inside the Sanctuary, will she find a way to ethically kiss the sentient object of questionable origin- uh, reclaim her freedom? sanctuary17223.com

    PREQUEL to RULE of TWO Elias Chambers was a masterpiece of professional warmth. To the world, he was the approachable architect, the steady father, and the man with the easy smile. But behind the front door, the collapse began. Every evening was a clinical breakdown from the sheer exhaustion of faking a "normal" soul. He was a man drowning in his own performance, burying every sensory struggle so he would never be a burden. Then, he saw the same flicker in his daughter. He watched her navigate the same disorganized static, a silent unit vibrating at a frequency the world refused to hear. "I have spent my life building walls to hide the truth. My last act is to leave a coordinate for the only two people who can see through them."

    Chan is almost entirely a walking stereotype for popular asshole guys. The only thing that separates him from his crowd is the fact that he doesn't speak. And that nobody knows why. Sometimes we need a strong, powerful wind to come blasting in to raise the voice of the flame. Or maybe just a boy with supposedly zero shame around being himself, willing to connect and find what's beneath the mask. quiet as a flame.

    He smiled, and I still don't know if it was the sunlight making his eyes shine, or if it was his tears. "Does it make you happy?" He asked softly. "It would've made me happy even if we had missed it." Jaken was so bright that the sun never really set that evening. It never set at all. - We'll never miss another sunset, I promise, Woxyria.

    Diagnosed as a child with an affective empathy deficit, Azmiya has always been "unique"-the girl who didn't cry at funerals and buried a dying bird with the same routine she used to tie her shoes. Now in college, she just wants to pass her classes and stay invisible. Sylas, the uninvited partner who breaks into her quiet life with horror movies and unwanted curiosity. While Azmiya studies him like a specimen, Sylas begins to see the girl behind the "Ice Princess" mask. Between forced group activities and shared silences in the library, a bond forms that defies Azmiya's neurological baseline. But when the campus turns against her, calling her a monster for a tragedy she can't even remember feeling, Azmiya realizes that having someone in your corner is the only thing the textbooks didn't prepare her for.

    The Pattern: Oliver doesn't see people; he sees data points. While other Class 10 students are worried about exams and prom, Oliver is busy recording the "geometry" of his small town-the way the radiator clicks in sets of four, the 12-degree arc of a nervous classmate's gaze, and the exact frequency of a lie. To him, the world is a series of predictable habits, until now. The Fracture: It starts with a crumpled scrap of paper dropped in a school bus aisle. Three words in frantic, heavy ink: IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. The phrase is a ghost from the town's past-a decade-old cold case that the adults have spent years burying under layers of "small-town charm." But Oliver's notebook doesn't lie. He starts noticing the same glitches in the present that led to the disappearances of the past. The Stakes: With his chaotic, unpredictable friend Maya-the only person whose "frequency" he can't decode-Oliver must step out from behind his notebook. As the symmetry of his life shatters, he realizes that some patterns are predatory. And this time, the person watching isn't just Oliver. Quick Character Refresh for Oliver Trait: "The Human Translator." He interprets world events through physical data (sound, angles, timing). Quirk: He peels oranges in one perfect spiral to calm down. Weakness: He's great at reading actions, but terrible at understanding emotions-especially his own.

    The Greek gods in general honestly don't mind modern times. Sure, a whole lot less people believe in them, and that greatly reduces their powers, but it saves them time since they don't have to talk to priestesses, or help heroes kill monsters, or make earthquakes to swallow pesky mortals. But one day, in the middle of breakfast (I know, right? The blasphemy) aliens arrive. And the aliens have their own gods. And their gods are stronger, because the aliens actually believe in them. And so a mix of different gods from different pantheons embark on a quest to make humanity believe in them again. Unfortunately, times have changed, and that won't be as easy as it was thousands of years ago.

Based on the books except for when I thought a show scene would work better. Everything that happened in the first four books is fully canonical except for Madeline's existence and that Olaf tried to marry her rather than Violet. Madeline Baudelaire is the younger sister of Violet Baudelaire and the older sister of Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire.

    patrick jane works for the cbi (california Bureau of Investigation). he is highly intelligent and happy all the time. everyone thinks he is childish or weird when he gets invested in cases or gets intrigued by little things like a figurine or a motorbike or even just a compliment. the truth is he's masking all the time as he has told no one, not even Lisbon, the leader of the team, he has been diagnosed with autism and he can't help the way he is. The characters are taken from the series mentalist. I have borrowed them and adapted them for my use.

    When I typed 'adhd' on wattpad, I realized that there were very few pieces of works in relation to neurodivergence. I decided to post my own diary entries to, hopefully, provide relatable content for my fellow adhd folks. You are not alone. Extract from the preface: "As I went through my teenage years, I always felt somewhat different from my classmates. I could never quite put into words what made me feel this way. I was rarely able to form long-lasting relationships, whether it be platonic or romantic ones. Yet I always loved people deeply. I was always so incredibly bored in class. Yet, I had really good grades. I always felt like an outsider. Yet, I had a group of friends and romantic interests. That's the thing about adhd; it is incredibly contradictory..." Disclaimer: This is my just experience. Therefore, the issues discussed should not / cannot be applied to every neurodivergent person.

    A sequel to Fighting Society. Jess had been living with her older sister for over a year now. It had given her time to adjust to her surroundings; to understand what the true meaning of family was, even if it was unconventional. She had become settled; loved. She had found an understanding of herself within a society which may not always understand. But of course, the hard part about that was that, circumstances always change, and people change with them. Life was always about having to learn to adapt, but that's hard. Especially with the circumstances Jess faced.

    For Leo, the most terrifying battlefield isn't a haunted graveyard-it's a crowded pub on quiz night. Dragged away from the safety of his perfectly categorized sock drawer, he must face his true nemeses: small talk, loud music, and a hundred conversations at once. All he has to do is survive until the last round.But Leo isn't just battling his own anxiety. In the shadows of the pub, a secret war is being waged right under his nose. A bitter rivalry, bound by a fragile truce, is about to turn the friendly competition into a supernatural arms race of petty sabotage and psychic interference.As the questions grow stranger and the patrons more bizarre, Leo remains blissfully unaware that he is the prize in a game he doesn't know he's playing. He thinks he's just there for the trivia, but every answer he gives is pushing a hidden cold war to a breaking point-one that's about to erupt in a moment of spectacular public humiliation.
