Summary
In the sterile logic of the 21st century, there is no room for ghosts. A lesson learned through years of therapy and medication. The life he remembers - An imperial court, a forbidden love, a promise shattered by death - is not a memory. This grief, not a wound to be healed, but a symptom to be managed. The life he remembers is given a clinical name - his memories are the illness; the prescription is to forget.
For more than a decade, he tried to believe them.
But when a viral video captures the face of a bottle girl in a Shanghai night club, the lie comes undone. It is her - The same cynical eyes, the same untamable spirit - The ghost had made flesh.

Summary
Baekhyun used to date the best friend of Chanyeol’s boyfriend. Their dynamic had always been the same — polite small talk, rehearsed laughter, a soccer match reluctantly scheduled for Saturday. Until one Saturday shifted the axis of their worlds. An unexpected event pushed them out of their comfortable orbit and forced them to share the same space, the same pause, the same air.
In the effort to move on, they became each other’s pause. A cup of coffee that turned into a refuge, a Saturday that became a habit. And without realizing it, what had started as mere company to get over a double breakup found a new rhythm, a new color, a new pull.

Summary
When Tony Stark retires from Stark Style, Bucky Barnes inherits a fashion empire full of egos, gossip, and impossible expectations.
He just didn’t expect his new assistant to be Steve Rogers—nervous, overqualified, and far too genuine for the cutthroat world of glossy covers.
Between spilled coffee, late nights, and a second chance neither of them saw coming, Bucky learns that the heart of the magazine—and maybe his own—belongs to the one person who never cared about appearances.- Language:

Summary
You weren’t looking for love, just somewhere cheap, quiet, and safe enough to get you through the semester. Jason Todd wasn’t looking for company, just a roommate who wouldn’t ask questions about why he came home at two AM bloody and bruised.
But in a cramped apartment in Crime Alley, between burnt coffee, leaky ceilings, and the soft hum of the city that never sleeps, the silence between you starts to change. What begins as survival becomes something quieter, steadier—something that almost feels like home. -

Summary
After the Second Wizarding War stretches on into ruin, Harry Potter performs a dangerous blood magic ritual with Draco Malfoy’s help to go back in time and change the future. Instead of simply traveling back, the spell reincarnates him as Mizar Black-Shafiq, a child born of Lycoris Black, Lord Arcturus Black’s only sister, and Hamza Shafiq.
In the original timeline, Lycoris miscarried after losing her husband to Wane’s Grasp—but Harry’s presence alters fate: one twin dies… and he, with all his memories intact, becomes the surviving son.
Armed with memories of war, loss, and love, Harry must quietly reshape the past. To save a grieving mother. To stop a family’s rot before it spreads. To ensure a future where war never comes.
And this time, he will not be the boy who survived by accident.
This time, he’s the boy who was reborn with purpose.

Summary
“You knew it was me.”
Ekko traps the head of a bad nail between the grips of his hammer and works it out of a half-rotten plank. He sets it on a pile of other rusty nails.
“I guessed.”
“No. You knew.”
There’s no accusation in her tone, just a matter-of-fact statement. Calling him out on his bullshit.
Ekko gets to working on another nail. He doesn’t respond. But he doesn’t deny it, either.
He hears her let out a breath through her nose. Like she’s figured something out. Maybe she has; she always knew him too well. He sort of hoped that after all this time, she couldn’t still do that.
But somehow, he’s not surprised.

Answering the town with a fury that matched the rage of hell, he awoke as the Headmaster of Blackthorn Academy, Mordecai had learned to wear his grief like armor. Until a new student arrives.
Octavius Bloodthorne. A sharp-tongued, reckless pixie with sharp, grey eyes. The soul Mordecai had buried a long ago had been reborn—and this time, it refused to be quiet.

And yet, Mordecai cannot stop himself from reaching for him again.
Dark romance. Forbidden lovers. Reincarnated souls caught in a curse of ash and desire. They’ve danced in the dark before.

The Awkwardly Inelegant Misadventures of Amaya Kedves by MehrunesDagonbro

Summary
When Emperors start having weird dreams about you being the Hero destined to “close shut the jaws of Oblivion”—whatever that means—and finding his long-lost bastard son, you know things are going downhill fast. Especially when you've been thrown into a world where literal gates of Hell start opening up.
Between fighting evil cultists and demon lords, running errands for peasants, dodging the law like it’s Les Misérables, and relying on help from a cast of questionable lunatics—including an inconveniently handsome Nerevarine, the old Eternal Champion (fueled by revenge and sweetrolls), a tax-evading horse, and the only Bosmer in Tamriel who can’t shoot—Amaya is barely keeping up with her quest, let alone her sanity.
All Amaya wants is to survive the next week without being disemboweled, dismembered, or getting stabbed in weird locations. Preferably in that order.
Join our deeply inelegant protagonist on an awkward adventure as she tries to stay alive long enough to save the last heir to the Septim throne. Or at least kiss him. Eventually.
And to think, all of this started because Sheogorath got bored.
Updates every other Sunday!

“Damn right you did,” Dean snaps sarcastically. “And I guess you’re some kind of angel, aren’t you? Just out and about, saving people, ’n’ happened to stumble on my sorry, dead ass, and just couldn’t leave me out in the cold, huh?”
The stranger tilts his head as if he’s puzzled. “I suppose,” he replies haltingly. “I am Cast—”
“Yeah, well, Cas,” Dean interrupts hostilely, “why don’t you tell me what you really are?” He hefts the cross in his arms, ignoring the sting of his shoulder as it stretches. “Any chance you’re somethin’ I can kill with a stake?”//
this time, after raising Dean from Hell, Cas sticks around.

Summary
The story we thought we knew was never true. There's more to it than anyone remembered.
Two additional founders, erased by William's narrative and forgotten until now. It's the setting we remember, small town rural Utah, two businessmen and their fledgling dreams of something more, but this time we see where all that production capability came from, and where William's jealousy first took hold.
She was the first. He was forgotten.
Lets go back again ;)
Following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been
