Talkthepoc storie

Some are born original. Some are forced to become. Esha was a woman who saw through the world as a guest, possessing it was never a question-hope of belonging, giving more than taking-remaining invisible fit like a glove instead. A man like Antares, waltzed into her life, promising the universe in exchange for her trust. The world she stood on tilted, the heart murmured fears, the body recoiled in memory of hands unbidden, the mind curled into itself hoping to have dreamt it away, while the soul recognized a kindred spirit. Yet when two wounded strangers recognize themselves in each other, the personas they built to survive begin to fracture. How to trust a woman whose scars marred the body like ink? How to trust a man whose skin bleeds from his very sins? What to make of kithship so visceral-it possesses the body in stupor? Who were they when no one was watching? A story of identity. Complexity. And the selves we keep becoming. Reader discretion is advised. Updates every Wednesday, 12:00 AM EDT.

Princess Faustine, a clandestine, self-taught magician, must embark on a perilous journey beyond her all-too-conventional kingdom to uncover a hidden truth and shatter an insidious curse that looms over her realm and the Seven Lands.

***ONGOING!*** "Because you're you and I'm me, and we just don't fit." - "The Idea of You" by Robinne Lee Skylar O'Hara believes that some people do not go well together, especially when it comes to jocks and nerds. Despite him being on the diving team with his godbrother Jorge Fernandez and their friends and families being well-acquainted with each other, Skylar wants nothing to do with Jorge and plans to keep his priorities in line with the goals and expectations set by his grandparents: finish high school, get a scholarship, and keep the family name clear from scandal. And even though he has been dreaming forbidden fantasies, Skylar knows that he couldn't afford any distractions whatsoever. But Jorge has other plans in mind, as do his and Skylar's families as well as their social circles and even the school's matchmaking principal and vice-principal. Everyone knows that Skylar's been crushing on Jorge but has let his fears and grandparents' high expectations keep him from acting on it. So what happens when an end-of-summer house party leads to a drunken one-night stand? And what happens when a year-long senior project, family dinners, and other arranged events force Skylar to be by Jorge's side? Skylar knows that Jorge wants him badly. Jorge's not the type to give up, even if his godbrother wants him to forget him. With the passions and romantic desires building between them, will Skylar's bias and jaded personality keep him and Jorge apart for good? Or can Jorge finally shatter Skylar's castle walls and teach him what it means to be on the edge of seventeen?

[TJZ'S EXPANDED VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE IN MY PROFILE!] Believed to be created by the founder of Zecaj, the Jewel of Opulence is said to curse whoever possesses it with endless riches beyond their wildest dreams. Desperate to get his hands on more fortune to aid a brewing war, Sultan Shahrayar, the kingdom's cunning ruler, calls his people far and wide with a declaration: the one who presents him with the mythical artifact shall be rewarded with a tower of gold. * * * In the lowly province of Klalasha, Badriya bint As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. But she can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets and die. When she hears the sultan's decree, she jumps at the chance to become rich in the easiest way possible. And perhaps get a title for herself to prove that women are more than just slaves and child-bearers. But, as Badriya would learn the hard way, searching for an object that may not exist is proving harder than it should be. With other, more resourceful competition and a handsome stranger distracting her, she will have to use her wits and skills to achieve her goal or risk losing something even greater than herself. -- Featured in @retold, @WattpadFantasyPH, @StoriesUndiscovered, @Fantasy, @antiheroesgalore, @dangerouslove, @classicauthors, @WattpadExplorer, @WattpadAsianFantasy, @WattpadESL, @Alt-U and @mythandlegend Book graphics by the amazing @Dayisdemigod and @Lueur_laVespine! | 30,000 - 35,000 words.

[AMBYS 2024 FANTASY FAVORITE] Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. Her world discriminates against women and orphans, and it is only her damned luck that she happens to be both. She yearns for more but can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets. Ayaz Shahrayar balances two lives: one of defiance, where he aids his people suffering from the Sultan's rule, and one of obedience, where he plays the role of a naive prince and heir in public. But his thirst for vengeance drives him more reckless by the day, and he knows that he might do something that could threaten his inheritance and his life. When the Sultan of Zecaj, desperate for more wealth to start a war, declares a country-wide hunt for a powerful artifact lost in legends called the Jewel of Opulence, Badriya jumps at the chance for the promise of reward. When the Sultan threatens Ayaz of losing the very thing he is meant to have, he has no choice but to join the hunt. As Badriya and Ayaz cross paths on their quest, they must learn to work together to find the Jewel and uncover the truth of its power. Only that it proves to be more difficult when the threat of betrayal and the spark of attraction try to distract them from their opposing goals. | 90,000 - 100,000 words.

#NaNoWriMo 2016 Book One in the Tales from the Filii Aurea Series IN THE BEGINNING, they say, the Aetherei Matrem fell in love with a Celestial Being, and produced a line of children like none other, each with their own special abilities, and each with ichor flowing through their veins. They were her Filii Aurea, her Golden Children, and they were to inherit the earth. A couple centuries down the line, and the Filii Aurea are struggling to stay alive. With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race. Avani Sai and Nuri Bachmann need to find the last remaining descendent of the great Milo Aro, and possibly the last cursed Child, and defeat Aziel Aro. That might not be their biggest concern, however. A charming stranger from the Sovereign Capital and a dark force lurking in the streets seem to pose a bigger threat than perpetual genocide.

"It's not always a 'knight in shining armor' that heals a broken heart..." ***** Reese Gregory might just be the last person anyone would like to befriend. She is an introvert, a tiny bit unfriendly and as moody as the weather at times. Basically, she's like the typical grumpy old man across the street, trapped inside the body of a 21-year-old. So when she lands in the post of an assistant editor, only to find that she won't be working 'alone', Reese is more than furious. And considering the fact that Zeiba Sidique-- the quirkiest person she'd ever seen-- annoys the hell out of her and takes her eye rolling ability to a whole new level, making friends with her is just out of question. But you know what they say right? Life has its own share of ironies- sometimes good, sometimes bad. ***** ▶[COMPLETED] ▶Winner of The Glam Awards 2017 ▶Highest Rank: #74 in short story on 19th August, 2017. ▶Cover by: @tristfuly Copyright © Protected.

* Wattpad's first south Indian movie compacted into story form.* *NOTE: In India, Vicky can be used as a male name, as it has been in this story* Maya, meet Vicky the police man. Vicky, meet Maya the media woman. And now that pleasantries are over, let me take you on a tale with the atypical romance, adventure, mystery and some (moderately high) ups alongside some (very low) downs, in which the two are forced to follow through with the case they unfortunately stumbled across. All this, but situated in the heart of Chennai, where (not mean girls, jealousy or life decisions) but rowdies, false charges and Bollywood-esque train scenes get in the way of both Wanderers' intertwining fate.
