The Quiet Things We Hide

Hawkins is small, but its secrets are big. Will Byers has always kept to himself — sketching in quiet corners, surviving on routine, and hiding from the chaos that seems to follow him no matter where he goes. Mike Wheeler has his own battles: trying to fit in, trying to be brave, trying to keep himself together when everything feels like it’s spiraling. When fate (or recklessness) throws them together, they discover something neither expected: someone who sees them, someone who matters. But the quiet comfort of connection doesn’t last long. A night out spirals into tragedy. Chrissy Cunningham, a friend, is found dead, and Eddie Munson — a boy who’s always been different — is accused. The town turns on him. Loyalties are tested. Friendships are stretched to breaking. And the lines between right and wrong blur with every step through the dark streets and shadowed woods of Hawkins. As Hopper hunts for the truth, as Jason and his friends chase vengeance, and as Max joins the hunt to protect those she cares about, Will and Mike find themselves not only confronting danger but their own feelings, discovering what it truly means to trust someone — and to be brave enough to love, even in fear. You Were Never Just a Friend is a tense, cinematic, small-town drama about friendship, first love, moral grey areas, and the costs of loyalty when everything you care about is on the line.

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons.

Runaway Groom: An Accidental Love Story

When fate plays matchmaker, even running won’t save you. I’m Alexander Christopher Ethan: Ace the Great if you ask me and I’ve mastered two things in life: disappointing my father and dodging responsibility like it’s an Olympic sport. Seven years ago, a car crash stole my mom and almost took me with her. Dad shipped me abroad to “recover,” and I did… by partying, flirting, and pretending adulthood was someone else’s problem. Then one phone call ruins everything: “Come home.” My welcome-back surprise? An arranged engagement. To a man. A CEO Dad personally handpicked without bothering to ask me. I laugh. I argue. I throw the man’s photo into the fireplace without even looking—and I run. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Dad’s men chase me through the city until I end up bleeding in an alley with a shattered leg. I’m sure this is how I die. Then he appears. A stranger who fights like an avenging angel and looks at me like I’m worth saving. Maybe it’s the blood loss, maybe it's destiny, but I kiss him, right there in the middle of the chaos. When everything settles, I lie: Lost phone. No home. No idea where to go. He believes me and offers one night. I take it. Then I take another… and another… until one night becomes a week and I’m stupidly, recklessly falling for him. His name is Gabriel. No family. No past. Just the life he built with his own hands. He calls me his shameless brat. I call him my angel. But angels don’t stay forever. My father's men eventually finds me. They drag me home to face my arranged fiancé.....the man I’ve been running from. It’s him. Gabriel. My angel. My lover. The self-made CEO who climbed from orphan to the head of my family’s empire. The man who pulled me from the burning car seven years ago and saved my life. The man I was always meant to marry. And now he realizes the truth: Ethan. Ace. The spoiled heir he was promised, and the runaway he fell for… are the same person. We were both running from this engagement… straight into each other’s arms. I thought I could outrun destiny. All I did was fall in love with it. Now we’re standing in the wreckage of lies, heartbreak, and second chances, and I have only one question: Was this fate… or the universe’s cruelest joke? Either way, I’m done running. Not from him. Not from us. Not from the future I tried so hard to escape. Because sometimes the person you’re meant for… is the one you’ve been running toward all along.

To Soothe A Dying Sun…(BL)

╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ “What happened to ‘Yes, Your Highness’?” A cold voice asked. “What happened to your dignity as a prince?” Elias shot back in anger. He knew he was being unreasonable but he had to be. That was too close. The prince’s hand moved faster than sight. He hooked two fingers under Elias’s chin and jerked him forward. Elias felt the heat crawl up his neck. His face went traitorously red. Their breath mingled. Up close, the prince looked like a predator. A pretty handsome one. ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ In the halls of Ravenholm Academy, status is measured by efficiency, and magic is a tool for the elite. Elias Thornbloom, a second-year student from a fallen noble house, wants none of that status. With his moss-green hair and silver eyes, Elias is the plant mage who views his powers as something to use mainly for his family and to help the plants. His only goal is to restore his family’s tarnished name and return to the quiet orchards of family and grandmother. But the plan for silence of Elias’s life is shattered in the same space he thought was safe. Cassian Thalorin, the perfect and lethal Crown Prince, is dying. He is the victim of a parasitic ancient plant curse that feeds on royal magic. To the King, his father, an inefficient heir is a liability; to Cassian’s ambitious brother, Zayne, the curse is an opportunity to steal the throne. The pact they made was simple. ‘Heal me. You and your family gets to live in peace.’ But what happens when the lines begin to blur? ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ https://discord.gg/HA8vDUkmhf discord server for my books hi guys! it’s me again I used my previous book to learn a lot of things so this one will definitely be better than the last. I’m putting so much effort into this one so please support me okay? I want this as a career.

[BL] The Fallen General's Entangled Fate (Reverse Harem)

After criticizing the ending of a tragic BL novel, War Prize, Yan Ling opens his eyes not in his bed, but on a blood-soaked battlefield, kneeling in chains as General Yan Ling of Shen Qi, the fallen empire’s majestic general. Now defeated, captured and alive as a war prisoner. The one who stands above him is Wei Li Feng—the ruthless young general who orchestrated Shen Qi’s fall, a man the world does not yet know is the crowned king of the victorious Wei Bing Empire. Cold, brilliant, and terrifyingly calm, Wei Lifeng does not want Yan Ling’s loyalty… but him instead. Taken alive as a symbol of conquest, Yan Ling is dragged into a fate far crueler than death—bound to an enemy king who finds pleasure in his defiance, fascination in his hatred, and ownership in his existence. But Wei Lifeng is not the only one watching. A playful enemy prince skilled in forbidden arts, a gentle immortal who offers warmth with utmost care and devotion, and a notorious Demon King whose obsession transcends life and death all converge around Yan Ling—each claiming him in their own way. As Yan Ling struggles to survive a world that extends beyond mortals and cultivation, he realizes something is deeply wrong. This is no longer the novel he read. Someone called him here deliberately and the twist? Among the men who desire him, one hides the truth of why Yan Ling was chosen—and what price must be paid for breaking the story’s original ending. Caught between power, obsession, war, and love, Yan Ling must uncover the will that summoned him… or let himself be consumed by a destiny that refuses to let him escape.
