    Summary

    They fall in love like it’s obvious to everyone except them.

    Then life gets in the way — bad timing, worse communication, and someone who really shouldn’t have been in the middle of it.

    Things fall apart in a very unglamorous, very real way.

    Later, they end up in the same space again, surrounded by chaotic friends, unnecessary opinions, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

    And unfortunately for everyone involved, nothing is actually over.

    Summary

    Is it really considered a side character if it didn't exist in the first place ?

    Stella didn’t ask to wake up in Twilight.
    She especially didn’t ask to be Bella Swan’s twin sister.
    But here she is—trapped in Forks, trying to avoid glittery vampires, overly intense stares, and the growing suspicion that she’s accidentally stolen the plot.

    Armed with sarcasm, anxiety, and a deeply unhelpful knowledge of future events, Stella just wants to survive high school, keep Bella alive, and maybe avoid becoming someone’s favorite snack.
    Too bad the universe (and Edward Cullen) seem to have other plans.

    .

    Twilight self-insert in a nutshell.
    don't mind the grammar.
    I needed to practice my writing, and thought there's only so many ways one can fail at writing a twilight fanfic.
    So here i am !

    Summary

    In a world where the dead have claimed almost everyone, one little girl survives by staying unseen.

    Nine-year-old Alex has no one. Haunted by years of abuse and the loss of her beloved sister, the only piece of her old life she has left is an old camera---a final gift that reminds her there was once beauty in the world.

    Every photograph is a memory. Every memory is a reason to keep going.

    And somehow, she's survived longer than anyone should.

    Until she meets a man named Lee Everett... and a little girl named Clementine.

    As their paths become one, Alex discovers that surviving the apocalypse isn't just about finding food, escaping walkers, or living another day.

    It's about learning to trust. It's about finding a family when you've lost your own. And it's about holding on to what makes us human... even when the world is determined to take it away.

    Summary

    University was supposed to be simple.

    Attend classes. Pass exams. Graduate.

    For Lady, a business student who prefers planning over spontaneity, that goal seems perfectly achievable—until she ends up working on a campus music festival project alongside Dante, an easygoing music major whose life appears to run entirely on instinct, bad ideas, and impossible luck.

    Between late-night project meetings, university parties, library study sessions, embarrassing misunderstandings, and the growing chaos of student life, the two slowly become unlikely friends. As the festival approaches, their project—and their relationship—begins to change in ways neither of them expected.

    Summary

    “We’re not lovers. We’re a catastrophe waiting to happen.”

    Hidan’s life has never been stable, but when he ends up under Kakuzu’s roof, instability takes on a whole new meaning. What begins as a fragile attempt at survival slowly spirals into a complicated web of control, dependence, and unspoken desire.
    Caught between violence and vulnerability, Hidan struggles to make sense of his place in a household that is not his, surrounded by people who offer him pieces of something that almost feels like belonging. While music becomes his only real escape, the lines between comfort and harm blur, especially when it comes to Kakuzu.
    As tensions rise and emotions deepen, Hidan is forced to confront the parts of himself he’s tried to bury: his past, his needs, and the dangerous pull of a connection that may destroy him before it ever saves him.

    Summary

    Reforming those lost to a calamity of the past, the goddess of life Malia gifted new bodies to the inhabitants of the world, diverse collectives of centaur-like races that occupy a multitude of regions. Of them, kin of the gods live on in sacred blood through the form of draconics centaurs.
    Though these godlings have largely been wiped of the world in the fear of the destruction they caused, Quirin, the young hair to the hailing draconkin Nyxus, struggles to meet that which has been set for them. Their conflict between accepting the nature in which they exist to appealing this god-like being and freeing themselves of her hefty expectations turns them to uncover what has come of the gods that have unnaturally fled their world.

    Summary

    Vedal, once a brilliant alchemist, turned his back on the world long ago, choosing apathy over duty. When the kingdom falls to a plague born of retribution, his indifference leaves him stranded in the wreckage of his own inaction.

    Toma, a fiery fist-fighter with more spirit than caution, isn’t one to let despair take root. Her reckless courage saves Neuro, a young princess hidden away while her kingdom crumbled. But Neuro is no ordinary royal; her survival ties her fate to both Toma and Vedal in ways none of them expected.

    Now bound by circumstance, the disillusioned alchemist, the unyielding fighter, and the displaced princess must journey together into a world scarred by plague and betrayal. To reclaim Neuro’s throne, they’ll face fractured kingdoms, forgotten truths, and enemies that thrive on the very ruin Vedal once ignored.

    And in the darkness, a certain individual will be taking charge in this battle.

    Summary

    Wang Yixiang never expected his future to be decided by a marriage contract, and Byun Euijoo never imagined becoming the price his father had to pay to protect everything he held dear.

As resentment slowly gives way to understanding, the two find themselves drawn together in ways neither of them expected.

    Summary

    Jason just couldn’t stop himself from staring across the room, eyes locked on the Loner Table. Only one person ever sat there. A Mexican looking dude with weird elfish ears. He didn’t talk to anyone when in the cafeteria, he just sat there and ate and then left. Jason had been told he glared at anyone who tried to talk to him, like an angry lion daring its prey to walk any closer lest it get eaten.

    It’s Stink Eye, Jason told himself, stop looking at him.

    “What are you looking at?”

    He was caught.

    Jason tore his gaze away from Stink Eye, and turned it onto Dylan who was watching him with his stupidly observant eyes. A wide smile on his face, one Jason knew meant he had an idea. A probably bad idea.

    Summary

    In the blazing heart of Levanter, a volcanic kingdom known for its ruthless warriors and iron-clad ways, Commander Hyunjin is ordered to marry the one thing he despises most: an elf.

    Prince Felix of Felora is everything Hyunjin loathes—graceful, gentle, and glowing with a beauty that draws stares and murmurs of envy. Felix never imagined his escape from the crown would lead to marriage with a brazen, combative brute in a kingdom that feels so foreign and hostile.

    Their union is meant to seal peace between ancient enemies, but what begins as fiery disdain melts into something more volatile. Between political games, forbidden secrets, and clashing cultures, the two must navigate a marriage built on obligation all while trying not to destroy each other—or worse.

    Meanwhile, Felix’s witty advisor and closest friend, Jisung, draws unexpected attention from Levanter’s enigmatic king, Minho.

    Summary

    Some people said Azula was supposed to burn. No - she drowned.

    In the middle of the ocean.
    In the middle of nowhere.

    The Spirits had decided to pay her a visit in the most humiliating way possible.

    When Azula wakes up in a world without bending, without war, and without a throne waiting for her, she finds herself forced to navigate strange modern customs, crowded cities, and concepts that make far less sense than politics ever did.

    Somehow, the Gaang ends up helping her through it all: love, respect, friendship, and the terrifying process of becoming a person outside of war.

    But second chances were never meant to last forever… were they?

    Summary

    Written mainly from Getou Suguru's POV

    Perhaps it was his effortless brilliance and the sheer weight of his presence that held me in such a suffocating grip. For years, I was a satellite, content to watch Gojo Satoru from the safety of the periphery. But one rainy afternoon at a flickering traffic light changed the laws of my physics and my whole world forever.

    Orbiting Him (alternative to Orbiting Her) is a story spanning the volatile transition from the hallways of high school to the isolation of college and adulthood. From the quiet, stolen moments in the library stacks to the neon-lit desperation of the nightclubs years later, Gojo Satoru remained the sun around which Geto Suguru's entire identity revolved.

    A story filled with heartbreak, tears, and angst. But also a story filled with romance, love, emotion, sentiment, and SO much yearning. It’s about the realization that some people don't just pass through your life, they consume it, leaving you to spend the rest of your years wondering if you’ll ever find a way to breathe outside of their atmosphere.

Yet he sees Harry with a clarity no one else ever has. Through Baby’s honesty and quiet strength, Harry learns the truths Dumbledore kept from him and gains the confidence to demand real respect from his so-called protectors.

    As Baby helps him pursue justice—proving Sirius innocent and exposing the Dursleys’ abuse—the bond between them deepens. What begins as trust becomes something softer, warmer, and impossible to ignore.
