Maeve Raines has seen golden strings since her teenage years-thin, luminous threads tied to people's pinkies, binding them through choice, emotion, and consequence. Friendship. Betrayal. Belief. Obsession. Love. Everyone has them. Some have many. Having only one is rare. Having none is impossible. Except Maeve cannot see her own. Now in her late twenties, she lives a life that demands silence and observation. Her secret stays hidden, pressed between unanswered questions and the letters she writes to the Fates-quiet confessions meant for powers she isn't sure are listening. Over the years, she has learned every shade of gold that exists and memorized their meanings. There is nothing left about the strings that should surprise her. To the world, she is someone else entirely. She goes by Juno-a name chosen, not given. A name she wears like armor. Under that name, she drifts. Watches. Learns how lives knot and unravel. Until she meets Theo Mercer. Her neighbor is gentle, reserved, and marked by something she has never encountered before. He has no visible strings. Not one. The absence unsettles her more than any bond ever has-because she knows what every shade should mean, and yet he fits none of them. Theo knows nothing of fate or golden threads-only that being near Juno feels fragile, like something he shouldn't expect to keep. What unfolds between them is not loud or dramatic. It is slow. Measured. Built from shared glances, half-confessions, and the quiet comfort of being understood without explanation. And for the first time, Maeve feels something she cannot categorize-a pull, a burn around her own pinkie whenever she turns away from him. Still unable to see her string, she prays-desperately-that if it exists, it will not be the worst kind. The color of love that never gets to stay. To the Fates is a quiet, tragic exploration of destiny misunderstood, love interrupted, and the cost of seeing what others cannot.

Asia and Harmony are having problems with their boyfriends.

As a poet I wanted to participate in my second month-long writer's challenge, but for National Poetry Month. I will outline the rules I am following in the first chapter. Even if it isn't April, you can still follow along with me! - This cover was created through ibis paint x by me.

LeyBinder is a series depicted in the Realm of Elderwyn, a once united continent and empire where the mortal races of men, elves and dwarves live in peace and harmony... But was shattered by the fires of a great civil war and conflict after the death of the great and wise Emperor, Ravyn Asterwood. The series tells the story of Valerine White, an orphaned girl studying to become a full fledged mage, earn a living through magic and buy her freedom from the White family who "adopted" her to become a maid at the family's inn business - but little did she know that the intricate fabric of fate will set her in an adventure of her lifetime... ...A journey full of discovery and danger as she navigates a path riddled with factions, assassins, spell work and a threat that could destroy a kingdom and drive the mortal races of Elderwyn to extinction... As tides of Shadowborn from the Ever-Shrouded North rip the very fabric of reality, Valerine, with the help of friends and allies, must uncover the truth behind her past and embrace her identity as the last heir to the Asterwood Bloodline, the only mortal lineage capable of controlling mana at will - the Last of the LeyBinders. Will Valerine be able to master the powers of her bloodline in time to prevent the Shadows from consuming the land?

Bee's life is sort of stable: she has a flat, a bipolar diagnosis she's getting a handle on. Well, as much as possible, considering she also has a personality that treats impulse control like a creative suggestion. Theo - her childhood neighbour, moral compass, and lifelong critic - has moved back into the apartment across the courtyard. Now he's in her bar. In her kitchen. In her friend group. And, judging by the way he pointed at the window last night, extremely aware of which bedroom is hers. They've spent the last decade living separate lives on purpose. Different cities, different people, one annual birthday party where they confirm they're still wildly incompatible and leave again. But Theo isn't leaving this time. And apparently, neither is the possibility of whatever they've spent ten years avoiding. Prompt: You will meet many people in your life. Many will come and go, but some will leave footprints on your heart.

✨ What are the F.L.A.R.E. ? ✨ The F.L.A.R.E. (Ferzareth Literary Awards for Rising Excellence) celebrate amazing stories and talented writers on Wattpad. These awards are designed to shine a spotlight on creativity, originality, and storytelling skill. Whether your story is complete, ongoing, romantic, thrilling, or fantastical, there's a place for it here. Writers get the chance to gain recognition, connect with readers, and earn special awards, while readers get to discover incredible stories and vote for their favorites. 🌟 The goal of F.L.A.R.E. is simple: celebrate talent, inspire creativity, and make every story feel legendary.

Participating in story pitch challenges has been a really fun exercise to think up new story ideas and strengthen my story description writing skills (although pitches tend to be too long and too detailed for a standard blurb). So... here they are. If anybody cares. Some pitches are for existing stories, and some are for stories that I may or may not write. Graphics created by me using Canva Pro unless otherwise cited.

Just random oneshots and stuff I've written for FFXIV, featuring two of my characters. Feel free to read or not, I don't care. This is essentially just me writing what I want and sending it into the void. Any triggers, pairings or whatever will be included at the top of the chapter. Cross-posted on ao3
