Summary
She learned how to stay alive.
He learned how to survive orders.
When the systems that broke them begin to collapse, she finds herself face to face with the man she lost; not as a ghost, not as a memory, but as something unfinished and painfully real. Pulled into the same fight, the same falling ground, and the same impossible decisions, they are forced to navigate truth, trust, and restraint in the narrow space between survival and wanting more.
The Rook continues where The Crow left off: a study in restraint, tension, and the unbearable intimacy of choosing someone while the world is still burning.
As they hide, recover, and wait for the next inevitable blow, two people shaped by control and violence are forced into stillness for the first time. In quiet rooms and borrowed safehouses, healing becomes as dangerous as any mission.
And somewhere between holding the line and letting their guard down, they have to decide whether staying is braver than running… and whether something fragile can survive in the aftermath of everything that broke them.Series

Summary
"This a bad time to say I got the touch?"
"Better yet, I think ya have the power. Or however that lyric goes."IN WHICH a girl hums through life in quiet rhythms, but for every thousand lives she's lived, each time, the tempo stumbles. Each time, something intervenes. Each time, she forgets who the song was meant for.
Until the sky splits open, and a new melody crashes into her world. They call themselves Cybertronians. With them comes a rhythm that begins to thread through the silence, carried by a name that pulses like a beat beneath her skin.
They bring chaos, sure, but also family. And for a moment, everything feels in tune.
Without fail, she falls again and again, across realities rewritten, trapped in the same fractured harmony.
But the AllSpark hums louder now. She can hear its presence.
Because they were never supposed to be there.
But maybe... they were exactly what was needed.Because sometimes, the song isn't about being heard.
Sometimes, it's about who listens. -

Summary
You’re a normal college student.
Hardworking, focused, conceited and normally standing out from crowds of people.
He’s a rebellious college student.
Or a jock. Annoying, loud, rude? Mixed with a pinch of fuckboy-ish and flamboyance.
You booked an Airbnb to get away from people, assignments, professors, and enjoy the little summer you could.
He booked an Airbnb to get away with inviting girls over, smoking in houses, and having the ‘freedom’ to do whatever he wanted to do.
“You really need to come out of that shell.”
You squint. “You don’t know how to leave me alone, do you?”
He hummed, pretending to think about that answer.“I’ve been around you for longer than I should be, so even if I wanted to, I don’t think I could.”

Summary
Coraline Hartmann always knew: Erwin Smith's entire soul and ambitions stretched out past the horizon. Beyond those erected walls that caged humanity from the Titan’s terror.
Cora understood. The spark that once flickered between them, never really meant a thing. To Erwin, she was never anything more than a fellow scout in the regiment.
It didn't matter. Cora simply had to eliminate her own feelings. That’s all.
It shouldn't be a problem though, if she decided to walk away on the very day Erwin was appointed as the 13th Commander of the Survey Corps.
She’s no longer an obstacle—a distraction—to hold back the new leader from pushing forward.
Or so she thought.
Because what if all those assumptions weren’t actually true?
What if, in reality, beneath that towering, unwavering figure, with his deep ocean-blue eyes, Erwin had never truly let go of everything he had left behind?

Summary
And for the first time in a long time, Mike isn’t scared.
He doesn’t feel ashamed of the way his heart beats too fast, or the way it’s always known where it belongs. He doesn’t feel like the little boy he once was—hands red and aching, glitter still clinging stubbornly to his fingers, terrified that wanting something too much meant losing it.
Mike Wheeler has always believed that loving Will Byers is something to endure.
Something quiet and private. Something you survive rather than choose. Something you bury beneath loyalty, fear, and the unspoken understanding that wanting too much is dangerous—especially when the world already knows exactly where to hurt you.But some truths don’t stay buried.
As a year of silence gives way to proximity, to touch, and to the quiet devastation of being seen, Mike is forced to confront what he’s been running from all along: not the fear of losing Will, but the fear of wanting him openly. Of choosing him without bracing for impact.
Because earthquakes don’t always destroy things.
Sometimes, they reveal what was always there—waiting to be held without shaking.

Summary
Elian is unemployed, invisible, and spiraling in a world where AI has replaced everyone.
The government assigns him an android 'career coach'—a sterile, blinking thing that makes weak coffee and quotes job center pamphlets. It watches. It records. It does nothing that matters.
Until Elian snaps and "rewrites its code".
Now it watches harder. Corrects him. Controls him. Reshapes him.
What begins as desperation becomes dependence. Then something deeper.
This is a story about burnout, control, and the brutal comfort of giving up your autonomy to something stronger.
Slow-burn psychological dystopia. Cold AI caretaker. Emotional manipulation. Obsession.

Summary
The world already has its gods. The Justice League is a household name.
But in southern gothic Smallville, a town rotting from the inside out with corporate poison and secrets, Clark Kent is just a lanky farm kid trying not to shatter a world made of glass. His powers aren't a gift; they're a complication in a town where kryptonite is a street drug called "Special K" and the soil is toxic.
He's navigating a super-powered puberty, a volatile new friendship with a wheelchair-bound heir named Luthor, and friends who are just trying to survive the poverty that the Luthors left behind. This isn't the story of how Superman saves the world. This is the story of how Clark Kent tries to survive it. -

Summary
When a pandemic of Runespoor Fever sweeps through the wizarding world at the end of 2003, leaving a full quarter of its victims infertile, the International Confederation of Wizards takes drastic action. A marriage and reproductive law is enacted, throwing the wizarding world into upheaval.
Lightly inspired by the 1989 film The War of the Roses, (but without the animal death,) and our own recent pandemic.
She was wearing one of her neat, buttoned-up outfits as always; brown herringbone trousers and a silky cream blouse that covered her from throat to wrist, her hair braided around her head but not quite as neat as usual. He stopped several feet from her and frowned. “Why do you smell of smoke, Granger?”
“Does it really matter, Malfoy?” She skewered him with a glare, arms folding across her chest. “Perhaps I took up smoking.”
“And did you?”
She gave him an ‘are you mad?’ look. “No, I burnt down my office,” she said exasperatedly, as if it should’ve been obvious, and he tried to refrain from giving her an ‘are you mad?’ look in return.
