family

Family isn't always where you are born - sometimes, it's where someone refuses to let you feel alone. Nathan Lang was two years old when the world ended. It began again the day he was given a home - loud, chaotic, overwhelming... and full of a love he didn't know how to accept. A sunshine boy who would become his promise. A fire that would never leave his side. A family that chose each other, again and again. Family is not blood. Love is not simple. And forever is something you fight for. Because some stories start with destiny... And some start with a hand reaching out and saying, "Then be someone with me." When Forever Began is an emotional, chaotic, cinematic family saga about love, loyalty, found family, and the secrets that bind them. And This is Volume 01-- Where It All Began.

I died a heroic, powerful, male Archmage… so why did I wake up as a sixteen-year-old girl?! Theo’s last memory is of a glorious, failed last stand. His next is a beeping hospital machine—and a terrifyingly handsome guy he’s pretty sure is a demon calling him “princess.” Now, he’s Thea Montrose, youngest daughter of a powerful family in a world run on magi-tech and corporate espionage. Between navigating floating cars, enduring his new mom’s hugs, and figuring out the horrifyingly complex mechanics of using the bathroom, Theo has his hands full. But his new family is hiding secrets, and their rivals play for keeps. Good thing this spoiled heiress’s body now holds the soul of an ancient wizard. They wanted the real Thea back? They’re about to get way more than they bargained for. He failed to save his old world from an apocalypse—now he just might save this one (and finally figure out how this bra works).

Serena Richard was born into a life most people would kill for — wealth, influence, and a future already signed in ink. In her world, marriages are mergers. Loyalty is currency. And love is a liability. Then she meets Nathan. He doesn’t belong to her world, and he refuses to. No legacy. No status. No reason to obey the rules that have always controlled her. For the first time in her life, Serena isn’t being told what to do. She’s being asked what she wants. But defying the Richard empire is not a rebellion. It’s a declaration of war. Her father is a man who built his power by eliminating risks, and Nathan is the biggest threat he’s ever seen. Surveillance becomes constant. Pressure turns into coercion. And the life Serena thought was secure begins to feel like a prison. Now she must choose: The future designed to protect her family’s empire… Or the man who could bring it crashing down. Because in Serena’s world, crossing the line isn’t scandal. It’s destruction.

Xal needed a job. Instead, he got a death sentence in the form of a disaster named Kian. Still he agreed, because this purple-haired freak kidnapped him, 'allegedly' and mentioned the spirit that killed his sister. Khem. But, he stayed, because Kian Vaeloren burns when he heals, flinches at closed doors, and reminds him of the warmth he misses the most. As they journey across the veil between worlds, battling corrupted spirits and healing the dying, the two men uncover secrets buried in the ruins of their pasts and build a deeper friendship than either of them expects. When Khem’s true plan begins to unfold, Xal and Kian must choose between justice, vengeance, and sacrifice.

After dying in a lonely, forgotten life, she awakens as the cherished daughter of one of the kingdom’s most powerful noble houses—reborn into luxury, privilege, and a future that seems almost too perfect. But beneath the glittering surface lies something deeply wrong. The world feels unfamiliar. Time feels fragile. And one man looks at her as if he already knows how her story ends. Spencer has lived this life once before. He remembers the betrayal that destroyed her family, the poison that stole her future, and the countless regrets that followed. Given a second chance, he swore he would change fate itself. But Delary’s reincarnation was never part of the plan—and her very existence has begun to fracture the timeline. When an assassination attempt comes years too early and a forbidden dragon answers a ritual that should never have summoned it, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: the world itself is trying to correct her. Because Delary is not just a deviation. She is the center of a future that could either save everything… or burn it to ash. As ancient forces awaken and destiny tightens its grip, Delary and Spencer must decide whether they will obey the flow of time— or break it completely for each other.

Arianne Summers was once the most feared woman in the business world—until love became her fatal mistake. Publicly betrayed by her fiancé, her empire stolen in a calculated corporate takeover, Arianne vanished from the spotlight, determined never to return. Five years later, her quiet life is interrupted by an unexpected knock. On her doorstep stand two scheming four-year-old twins holding a handmade sign: “Marry Our Uncle!” Their uncle, Franz Rochefort, is a world-famous actor reluctantly thrust into the role of CEO after his brother’s death. Overwhelmed, underestimated, and struggling to keep both his company and his family together, Franz needs help—even if he doesn’t know it yet. What begins as a logical, temporary arrangement quickly spirals into chaos as fake dates turn real, old enemies resurface, and two tiny matchmakers launch Operation: Make Uncle and New Aunt Fall in Love. In a world where power is currency and love is a liability, Arianne must choose—revenge against the past, or the unexpected family she never planned to have. A ruthless CEO. A reluctant superstar. Two scheming children. And a love story that was never part of the plan. #ceoromance #reversedroles #slowpaced special thanks to @schreient_rui

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Would she be able to change her fate this time? “In this life, you can never escape me,” Gideon hissed. Summer looked into his eyes coldly. “We ended things six years ago.

The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. 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. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. 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.

In the middle of a campus designed for noise, connection, and becoming, one student drifts quietly through four years of invisible existence. While friendships bloom in crowded hallways and identities sharpen under fluorescent lecture lights, their world narrows instead — shrinking into routines, avoidance, and a growing interior silence. Days blur into one another, marked not by milestones but by hesitation, withdrawal, and the exhausting choreography of appearing functional. Social anxiety becomes architecture. Classrooms turn into arenas of imagined judgment. Conversations fracture before they begin. Trauma lingers without name or shape, surfacing in small disturbances — sleepless nights, unfinished thoughts, an ever-present sense of dislocation. Depression settles not as drama but as weight: muted colors, stalled time, the slow erosion of desire. The outside world continues, indifferent and bright, while behind perpetually drawn curtains, life feels suspended. As semesters pass, isolation deepens into habit. Opportunities dissolve into avoidance. Relationships remain hypothetical. Memory itself becomes unreliable — years remembered not through events, but through absences, omissions, and the quiet persistence of things never attempted. Yet within the stillness, subtle tensions accumulate: the unbearable friction between who one appears to be and who one feels themselves dissolving into. Curtains Never Opened is a restrained psychological portrait of alienation, emotional paralysis, and the quiet violence of internal struggle — a novel about the versions of youth that unfold not in spectacle, but in silence.

From that moment on, the Feng Army and the people of Xiqiang City had enough food and water, living lives more prosperous than even the Emperor himself.

“That child is mine. And so are you,” he commanded, his viper-green eyes pinning her in place. Grace couldn’t believe that he—Carlos Benjamin, her new CEO and eight years her junior—was the father of her unborn baby. “You can go back to that deadbeat you call a husband, or you can come with me and have everything.” ===== For the last five years of her marriage, Grace Preston, 32, believed she was broken. She couldn’t have a child, and her deadbeat husband, Charles, never let her forget it, calling her useless while she worked tirelessly to fund his failed acting career. He didn’t just break her spirit; he shattered her trust by cheating on her with her own sister. Heartbroken, Grace fled to her office late one night, seeking solace at the bottom of a bottle. She wasn’t alone. A beautiful, blond-haired man was there, nursing his own wounds. He never told her his name, but he offered her a night of oblivion. Fueled by whiskey and a desperate need for revenge, she gave in to her darkest desires, pulling the willing stranger into her web. In her drunken haze, she thought, “If my husband can have his fun, then so can I.” She never worried about protection, convinced she was barren. Until a month later, when a positive pregnancy test trembled in her hands. Grace Preston, the ‘barren’ wife, was pregnant. In a single night, the stranger gave her what Charles couldn’t in five years. Now Carlos has made his claim, pulling her into a world of immense power and lethal secrets. Will Grace escape her toxic marriage only to be trapped in this captivating young billionaire’s golden cage? Or is trading one prison for another a mistake that will cost her more than just her heart?

Time isn’t just an idea it’s essential. Without it, nothing finds its place; nothing can be measured or remembered. There’s no history without time, no hope without its passing. Life moves like a clock that may seem out of sync, yet somehow keeps perfect time. Every great story lives within time, defined by moments that matter, each affecting what comes next. And for Korra and Asami, their story was written the same way. For those willing and with the powers to support, welcome to my Patreon. patreon.com/Eva_Dragon
