family

Isidore Davenant has built his life out of glass walls and iron resolve. A wealthy omega, he is a man who has raised his son Julian with only his own strength, vowing that no other hand would ever lay claim to what is his. But when the world intrudes—when Julian stares at a television screen and innocently declares he wants that man to be his father—Isidore’s carefully guarded world begins to fracture. That man is Tristan Ashford: golden, untouchable, with eyes like ice and a smile that dazzles millions. To the world he is a star, a hero cast in firelight, but to Isidore he is something far darker—an echo of nights he has tried to bury, a presence that once marked his body and left him with scars no one else can see. When fate thrusts Tristan back into his orbit, Isidore cannot escape the cruel symmetry of it: the man he hates is the same man his son adores. Old wounds reopen, and long-buried truths threaten to unravel. Isidore must decide whether to keep his walls intact—or face the storm of a past that refuses to stay silent. In a city of gleaming towers and shadows, love and vengeance are tangled threads. And Isidore learns that sometimes the most dangerous battlefield is not the courtroom or the screen—but the heart itself.

When a young woman is taken as collateral for her father’s debt to Los Angeles’ most notorious crime family, she is forced into a marriage designed to control her. Instead, she forges an unexpected bond

The war is over. Vecna is gone. Hawkins is still standing — barely. After the final battle leaves Eleven dead and the Upside Down sealed forever, the kids who saved the world are forced to face something none of them trained for: life after the end. Hawkins becomes a town haunted not by monsters, but by memories — cracked streets, boarded windows, empty spaces where childhood used to live. Mike Wheeler is lost without the girl who once gave him purpose. Will Byers is learning how to exist in a world that no longer needs him to be brave — only honest. Dustin, Lucas, Max, Steve, Nancy, Robin, and the rest of the gang are each carrying their own version of survival, grief, and guilt, bound together by a past no one else will ever understand. As Hawkins slowly lets them go — through graduations, departures, quiet goodbyes, and unfinished conversations — the group begins to realize that saving the world was only the beginning. Healing means choosing who they are without the fight, who they love without fear, and where they go when the place that made them no longer fits. At the heart of it all is a bond that never broke, even when everything else did. A friendship that becomes a love. A future that doesn’t erase the past — but finally moves forward. Hawkins Let Us Go is a post–Season 5 coming-of-age story about grief, survival, found family, and the courage it takes to keep living after the world ends — together. Contains strong language and sexual themes.

The Scent of My Beloved Husband “I can’t see your face, but my heart knows your scent.” Hilary was a world-renowned chef— the queen of a billion-dollar culinary empire, and the wife of the most powerful man in the city. Her life was perfection. Until an earthquake shattered her kitchen… and her mind. When Hilary woke up in the hospital, the man she loved had become a stranger. The diagnosis was merciless: Progressive Prosopagnosia. A growing brain tumor was slowly stealing her ability to recognize faces. To the world, Hilary remained a genius. To herself, she was a woman living among nameless ghosts—unable to recognize the smile of her own husband. ⸻ The CEO’s Vow Every morning, Gerard stands beside her bed and introduces himself. “I am Gerard. Your husband. I love you.” He becomes her eyes in public, her shield in private, and her secret map through a world that no longer has faces. But in a city ruled by power and perfection, how long can a billionaire protect a wife who can’t even recognize him in a crowded room? ⸻ The Predator in the Kitchen Bianca—an ambitious assistant chef—discovers Hilary’s secret. She doesn’t see a sick woman. She sees an opening. By mimicking Gerard’s scent and quietly gaslighting Hilary’s senses, Bianca begins a calculated hunt—not just for Hilary’s position, but for her husband. After all, what is a wife who can’t even see the man she loves? ⸻ The Ultimate Sacrifice As an international culinary competition approaches and the board of directors moves to strip Gerard of his empire for standing beside an “incapacitated” wife, Gerard is forced to make a choice the world is watching. A multi-billion-dollar legacy… or the woman who can only recognize him by scent. In a world that demands perfection, can love survive when the person you adore is nothing more than a familiar scent in the dark? A heart-wrenching romance about devotion, sensory betrayal, and a love that proves seeing someone has nothing to do with sight.

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

And it seems that this kind of brotherly love is turning, right before their own eyes, into something far too dangerous to be handled. Can these two people succeed in handling all that love that's been right before them all this time?

As their worlds collide in the high-stakes corridors of Carter Corp, a deep, healing bond begins to form.

[Reincarnated, irritated, and deeply unimpressed] [Even tyrants deserve eight hours of zero drama] [Born again—and it's still my problem] I’ve read enough stories about people getting stuck in my situation — fighting tooth and nail just to survive. Typical tales. And I hate typical. Typical people. Typical situations. Even typical words. So imagine my delight when I woke up as the villainess — a lazy tyrant destined to die for her crimes. I mean, seriously? Well, news flash: I’m not planning on dying in this life. In fact, I was ready to just chill, stay out of the plot entirely— AS IF! The male lead just had to fall for me first. And now I’m out here trying to convince the female lead that she’s head-over-galaxies in love with him. Yeah, sounds totally sane, right? (haha ಥ-ಥ) And author. next time, pick someone else. ............................................................ I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it. HAPPY READING! P.S. I'm a sensitive lil’ shit… so go easy on her. >.

He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip.

This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

While reading a novel about the toxic relationship between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, I was so furious I almost threw my phone away. I was just a lazy college student, yet somehow I transmigrated into the story— right into the role of the overbearing mother-in-law. Worse still, I was bound to a Good Deeds Point System, forcing me to accumulate kindness points to survive. Knowing the tragic future awaiting this poor daughter-in-law—betrayal, manipulation, and endless suffering—I made a decision. This time, she will not walk that path alone. From that day on, I became a domineering mother-in-law, shielding her from harm, exposing the fake “green tea,” and turning the entire plot upside down. Whoever dares to bully my daughter-in-law— I’ll make sure they regret being born into this story.
