healing

They say first love never dies. I thought I’d forgotten her. I thought time had healed everything. But standing in the rain, in front of her tombstone, I realized some memories never fade. Precious—the girl I loved quietly, desperately, hopelessly—was gone, but her name still carved a permanent mark on my heart. Now, older, I find myself telling a group of kids the story of a boy who failed, a boy who loved, and a boy who learned too late that life doesn’t always give you what you want. It’s a story of first love, of heartbreak, of moments that sting and moments that make you smile… even if it’s at your own expense. Through laughter, tears, and the storm of memory, this is the story of loving someone so deeply, so recklessly, that it leaves you changed forever. Sometimes love is quiet. Sometimes love is messy. And sometimes, love lasts long after the person is gone. This is my story.

Mary just wanted to be herself—in a world constantly trying to shape her into someone else. Her life was quiet and simple, until the forest inside her began to whisper. Dreams long buried, fears long hidden, and voices too persistent to ignore. Amid daily struggles, a deep loneliness, and a silent battle between who she is and who she’s expected to be, Mary embarks on a journey not guided by maps, but by instinct. Mary and the Forest is a story of silent searching, hard decisions, and a world that can only be seen when you close your eyes.

Synopsis: In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff — the Scarlet Witch — is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her… and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter. When a luminous figure — a doe — shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter’s son. Though she doesn’t know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry. But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed. With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time… no one will touch the boy without facing her. After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived… than the Scarlet Witch herself? Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

Tiana was never the girl people chose first. She was the girl who stayed. The girl who forgave. The girl who loved so deeply she almost forgot herself. In the barracks, Joshua became her first everything—first love, first heartbreak, first mistake. Their relationship was built on hidden promises and whispered nights, until Tiana begins to realize that loving him has slowly become another way of losing herself. Then university changes everything. Joshua wants her back only after he begins to lose her. Stephen, the quiet boy who has spent his whole life feeling too much and saying too little, is forced to face the truth about the girl he once blamed. Nadia has loved Stephen from afar for years, carrying unread letters and feelings she was never allowed to keep. And Dare—the boy everyone thinks they know—turns out to be the son of one of the most powerful families in the country, trapped between a life chosen for him and the girl he cannot let go. As old wounds reopen, secrets unravel, and love begins to shift in unexpected ways, each of them must decide: Do you keep holding on to the people who hurt you— or do you finally choose yourself? Because sometimes, the greatest love story is not about being chosen. It is about finding the courage to walk away… and becoming someone new.

Paradise. A place I’d only heard whispered about in stories too bright, too perfect, too impossible to be real. Yet running for my life through the Forest Packs dragged me straight into the arms of the one place I never believed existed: Novaterra Pack. The paradise of shifters. The kingdom that rivaled human nations. The home of the Alpha King himself. And somehow… they accepted me. A runaway. A branded traitor. A boy with no pack number, no family, and a past wrapped in blood. I told myself I was here temporarily. Just until they figured out who I really was and tossed me to the wolves like I deserved. But then I saw him. The man with the red eyes. Kastiel Novaterra. The Alpha King who built paradise with his bare hands. The one man I should never look at, never want, never crave. His presence terrifies me. His gaze burns through my lies. And his scent makes my knees weak in ways I never believed were real. Falling in love is the last thing I should be doing in a place that isn’t meant to be my home. But the more I try to run from him… the more Paradise itself pulls me in. And Kastiel. Kastiel never lets go of what’s his.

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though. But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well. She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure. But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire. Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.

The heavens are heartless, treating all living beings as mere chess pieces in a grand, indifferent game. Under the vast sky, the illusion of the virtuous facade path is built on a foundation of hypocrisy and whispers. A solitary soul, branded by a grotesque scar he cannot remember, learns this truth the hard way. When he reaches out to save a falling life, the world rewards his limitless kindness with venomous accusations. Betrayed by the very society he protected, he realizes a profound truth: if one does not carve their own destiny, the world will force a mask upon them. Discarding the heavy chains of morality, he willingly steps into the abyss, embracing the demonic path, choosing to become the ultimate villain on his own terms. Elsewhere, the winds of fate prove exceptionally cruel, mocking the concept of fairness. A mediocre scribe reaps the spoils of unearned luck, drowning in the shallow applause of the masses, while a peerless, pure talent is betrayed and swallowed by the shadows. The scribe is left to rot from the inside out, haunted by his own inadequacy, watching as childhood bonds are severed by the glittering, poisonous allure of fame and vanity. Karmic threads tangle and snap. Blood stains the asphalt, washing away precious memories, leaving broken souls to desperately piece together their shattered existence. Even those who stand bathed in the radiant light of public worship—golden idols who smile for the masses—are nothing but gears in a ruthless, mechanical struggle for survival, moving meticulously through the storms of ambition. In this cruel mortal realm, effort is an illusion, love is a fragile liability, and talent is easily crushed by the grinding wheel of fate. Beneath the unfeeling heavens, there is no true justice and no ultimate victor. There are only hypocrites wearing virtuous masks, monsters born from despair, and fools struggling in the mud. In this tragic, endless play, there are simply too many losing heroes.
