family

Sisi’s life becomes a nightmare on her birthday when her adoptive father tries to rape her. After she fights back valiantly, he beats her half to death and throws her into a ramshackle shed to rot. She believes she would die alone, until she discovers a wounded wolf cub hiding in the shadows. Drawing on her experience caring for infants, Sisi nurses the injured cub, only to learn he is no ordinary animal but a young wolf beastman named Jojo. When her father discovers Jojo and captures him, he threatens the cub’s life to force Sisi into his bed. Cornered and desperate, Sisi’s dormant faerie powers erupt. On that fateful night, she escapes with Jojo into the depths of the forest, vanishing where no one should be able to follow. Lost and hunted, the human girl and the little wolf beastman cling to each other for survival, until Jojo’s father, an Alpha wolf who had been crowned the new Beast King, finds them. Without warning, he seizes Sisi and declares: “My son has imprinted on you as his mother. You must take responsibility.” “H-How do I take responsibility?” Sisi whispers, terrified of being separated from Jojo. The Beast King pulls her close, his voice low and solemn. “Come with me. I will make you my official mate.” * PS: This story is about found family and motherhood, as well as a true love between a lone wolf and a faerie.

Once celebrated as a woman of rare virtue and beauty, married into the powerful Liu family, believing she had stepped into a life of security and respect. Instead, marriage became her prison. Her husband cruel, indifferent, and obsessed with status never treated her as a wife, only as a decorative possession. Beaten, ignored, and abandoned by her in-laws, she endured years of silent suffering until illness finally claimed her life. On her deathbed, with nothing left but regret, she closed her eyes believing her story had ended. But fate is not finished with her.

This time, she refuses to be a victim. Determined to destroy those who turned her life into hell, Madam Liu begins weaving a careful web of revenge against her husband and the Liu family.

A man whose identity is shrouded in mystery. A man she never encountered in her previous life. He appears at crucial moments, as if drawn by fate itself, his intentions unreadable, his power concealed. Their paths cross again and again sometimes as allies, sometimes as adversaries until their connection becomes impossible to ignore. Is he a weapon sent to aid her revenge… or another trap disguised as salvation? As vengeance, desire, and secrets collide, Madam Liu must decide whether she can afford to trust her heart in a life already stained by betrayal. In a game where love and hatred blur, one question remains: Will they become lovers bound by fate or enemies destined to destroy each other?

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.

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.

After two months of surviving on her own, Kieran returns to Concord, stepping straight back into the suffocating warmth of family love she isn’t sure she’s ready for. Fresh from a funeral and carrying wounds no one fully understands, she’s greeted by watchful grandparents, anxious relatives, and questions about a future that no longer feels like hers to decide. Concord is familiar, comforting even, but it’s also filled with memories she hasn’t healed from. Chief among them is Lucas, the boy who was once her best friend and then, without warning, walked away. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence that hurt deeper than any fight ever could. His absence lingers, heavy with unanswered questions and unspoken feelings Kieran has never allowed herself to name. Seeking space, Kieran escapes to her favorite spot by the lake, hoping for peace. Instead, fate intervenes. The unmistakable growl of a motorcycle announces Lucas’s return; changed, bigger, sharper, and undeniably no longer the boy she remembers. One glance is enough to shatter the fragile calm she’s built. The past isn’t buried. It’s right next door. As summer begins, Kieran is forced to confront unresolved hurt, broken trust, and the dangerous pull of someone who once knew her better than anyone else. Some friendships don’t end cleanly...and some feelings refuse to stay buried.
