healing

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

Julie Marie Navares seemed to be a typical young woman. Her father wished her to go to the same school as her brother, Christian Navares, which is why she moved. She thought school would be quiet because she thought her secret—her hidden talent for singing and her alter ego on stage as the POP PRINCESS—would stay with her family. But what would happen if Mark Cielo Villanueva, a friend from childhood who she hated, found out? They had just met again. Could she still keep her secret and her peace?

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child barely spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.

Bella Swan always knew the world was more than it seemed. Each night she closed her eyes, she didn't just dream—she traveled. Slipping through time, she walked beside a man haunted by darkness and war, anchoring him when the pain threatened to consume him. That man was Damon Salvatore. As Bella navigates her canon-compliant life in Forks—complete with sparkling vampires, high school melodrama, and looming supernatural threats—her heart is tethered to a vampire who belongs to another century. Each dream pulls them closer. Each step forward in her "Twilight" life feels like a script she must play out before she can finally write her own ending. Torn between two lives and two very different vampires, Bella must face fate, free will, and the timeless bond that refuses to be broken. But time has a funny way of folding in on itself, and when Damon arrives in Forks—real, solid, and hers—the story she's been bound to shatters. This is the story of what happens when a girl destined for one vampire chooses another. A story of dream-walking, time-crossed love, chaotic destinies, and rewriting fate. The threads are tangled. The ink is permanent. And love—true love—might just be stronger than time itself.

Laura Charles has to keep her head down. To work. To keep her carefully built walls up. Because last time they weren't? She lost everything. Now, coming to work as a ladies' maid for a noble family, she has to walk the delicate line between the wings, carefully concealing her past. She can't let anything shake her. Aleksi Kazarin is in a new country. A new house. One where he doesn't speak the language and they aren't exactly welcoming. He thinks this was a colossal mistake, until she arrives. A stuck up woman who has absolutely no interest in him? What could be more fun than to get on her nerves? They're terrible for each other, and yet, neither of them seems to be able to stay away.

A single week transforms a sixteen-year-old girl’s happy home into a place of silence, forcing her to grow up overnight when betrayal, violence, and loss tear her family apart.

Echora: My Sanctuary Shade's sanctuary & salvation

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.

Tiana was the girl everyone wanted — and Joshua was the one who refused to give up on her. For months, he chased her, fought for her attention, and promised her a love that felt different from the rest. When she finally said yes, Tiana believed she had chosen right. Their love grew quietly in the barracks, hidden from parents but visible to everyone else — intense, beautiful, and full of promise. But first love doesn’t always stay gentle. As life begins to pull them apart, love starts to change its shape, and Tiana finds herself holding onto something she no longer understands. What she calls love may slowly become the very thing that breaks her. And sometimes, the person you meet after your greatest heartbreak isn’t a coincidence — but a second chance you never expected.

Akash lives carefully. He works with precision, avoids unnecessary closeness, and lets routine carry what emotion once disrupted. In a high-pressure research environment where protection and resilience are central ideas, he finds a strange kind of balance one built on discipline rather than certainty. Ritu notices what others don’t. Not brilliance alone, but restraint. Not silence, but intention. As professional boundaries hold, familiarity grows quietly, shaped by shared responsibility, unspoken concern, and time that moves forward without announcement. Progress brings recognition, stability, and questions that success cannot answer. What begins as structure slowly reveals absence. What feels like care begins to resemble weight. And what remains unsaid starts to matter more than what is acknowledged. This is a story about the spaces between decisions, the quiet moments that change direction, and the kind of love that does not arrive loudly. It explores how healing is rarely linear, how timing reshapes meaning, and how sometimes the most important journeys begin only after everything seems complete.
