Julien Laurent's life was built on goodbyes. From city to city, country to country, his only constant was his mother, Camille - until the day Rome stole her from him forever. Grieving and lost, Julien discovers a letter hidden among her things... a letter that unravels everything he thought he knew. A twin brother. A father across the ocean. A family that was never whole. When the truth pulls him from the streets of Paris to the quiet fields of Nebraska, Julien must face the man who never raised him - and the brother who grew up in the life he was denied. Two boys. Two halves of the same story. And one question that could change everything: Can love grow from the pieces left behind?

They grew up sharing everything~secrets, laughter, silence... and a comfort that never needed words. Somewhere along the way, things changed. A look that lasted too long. A moment that meant more than it should have. But not everything that's felt is spoken. And not everything that's real is understood in time. Now, caught between what they were and what they could be. They find themselves drifting~not because they don't care, but because they never learned how to say it.

Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

+++THIS IS A SEQUEL - To be able to follow the storyline, please read „Unravelling" and „Dissolving" first!+++ Lily and her brothers are stuggling to come to terms with yet another tragedy that occurred to one of their own. The previously tight-knit family is on the brink of falling apart as some members of the Taylor Clan are barely holding it together. Only being months away from finally reaching her goal of officially becoming a teenager, Lily finds herself in the middle of the perfect storm, with only limited means to navigate through it. She is walking a thin line between succumbing to her own, overwhelming emotions and being the rock that her brothers so desperately need to lean on. Can Lily overcome her own debilitating sadness in time to be the glue that keeps her family together? Will the secrets, that are finally being unleashed upon her, paralyze her or make her more determined than ever to fix things? How will these revelations help her understand her oldest brothers' past actions? Together with the people who mean the world to her, Lily starts the last leg of her journey to discovery. What is the story behind her father's mysterious absence? Who are these creeps that are clearly after the Taylors? How did her sister Sienna really die and who is responsible for her death? Was her accident the reason for the brothers' move to the other side of the country or is there something else? And what is her mother's role in all of this, if any at all? All these questions will finally be answered. But their impact on this curious, empathic, overthinking and reckless-at-the-wrong-time almost-teenager is anything but foreseeable. Lily can only hope that her previously reliable safety net called friends and family is up to the task to support her on this emotional rollercoaster.

You know the four elements. But... How exactly were they brought into existence? Found in the Water Tribe and sent to the Fire Nation, you'd run into a few interesting situations and people. Maybe even... A few very special ones. The void is no laughing matter-Well, actually, it's a pretty silly concept-But the effect it has on the lives of so many people is frightening. Especially those close to you. How many people would you lose? Abandon? How many times would you fail? How many times would things take a turn for the worst? ...How many times has Sokka's forehead blocked your darn vision?!?! Oh, yeah, and how many times would you kiss Zuko? ⚠️I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is just a fan story.⚠️

Kao Neptune was never meant to love. Born into wealth, sharpened by loss, and crowned the youngest CEO of Thailand's most powerful music empire, Kao lives by control, silence, and distance. Emotions are weaknesses. Love is a liability. Then a reckless boy from Bangladesh falls into his world-bright-eyed, stubborn, burning with impossible dreams. Nil was never part of Kao's plans. Yet he becomes the only person who sees past the cold façade, the only one Kao would bleed for, ruin for, choose against fate itself. Power cannot protect love. Status cannot silence bullets. And when Nil walks away-sacrificing everything so Kao can be "complete"-Kao finally understands: A man without the one he loves is already broken. Across borders, scandals, and cruelty, Kao defies family, society, and destiny to reclaim the men who became his home. A BL novel of obsession, devotion, sacrifice, and a love that refuses to kneel-even to fate.

"So please understand my situation I love you But I cannot be with you If I could be in two places at the same time Believe me I would share my love with you" ~Judy Boucher "Can't be with you tonight" (1986)

Aisha Abubakar believed life came in seasons some harsh, some healing. After earning her bachelor's degree and masters abroad through a scholarship, she returns to Abuja with dreams but with a family struggling to stay afloat? Then comes Umar Faruk, calculating. A man who rarely lets life surprise him... until Aisha does. One overheard conversation and a quiet decision. A proposal that changes both their lives. This season between them isn't built on love. It's built on need, timing, and a promise no one else can know. But as days turn into months and silence turns into something softer, they begin to realize that love doesn't always come in spring. Sometimes, it finds you in the middle of a storm. A story about trust, timing, and the quiet spaces where love takes root even between seasons.

She arrives in the city hoping to disappear. After her older brother's sudden death, Katherine leaves behind the only home she has ever known, carrying nothing but grief and the belief that distance might quiet the past. In a place where no one knows her name, she builds a life in silence-working mornings in a small café on the edge of a busy financial district, learning how to exist without being seen. Before she leaves, she finds a hidden box in her brother's room. Inside are letters she was never meant to see. Most of them are simple at first-ordinary words, familiar handwriting, fragments of care she doesn't fully let herself read. She only opens a few before closing the box again, leaving the rest untouched as if keeping them sealed might keep something else from unraveling. In the city, life settles into routine. Early mornings. Familiar faces. The comfort of being unknown. It should be enough. But it isn't. A man begins to pass through her world each day-always at the same time, always just out of reach of notice. He does not speak to her. He does not look at her like she is anything more than part of the background. And she does not recognize him. Not once. And yet, something about his presence begins to linger where memory should be clear. As fragments of her brother's past begin to surface in small, unsettling ways, Katherine starts to understand that distance does not always mean escape-and some things follow you quietly, long after you think you've left them behind.

Some people disappear slowly. They stop answering texts, stop showing up, stop showering, stop eating real meals. They lock themselves in their rooms and call it comfort and try not to think about the people they've already lost. Sunny is very good at disappearing. Alex isn't very good at letting him. Midnight Catalyst is about grief, self-harm, cigarettes, bad coffee, and what happens when someone refuses to stop seeing you, even when you've given them every reason to.

There is a place people go when something becomes too heavy to carry. They don't choose it. They don't understand it. But somehow... they find it. They call it The Quiet. When Umar begins to question the truth behind his friend's death, what starts as grief turns into something deeper. Something unfinished. The more he searches, the more the world around him begins to shift, pulling him into a place that feels peaceful... but never without a cost. There, he meets a woman who has learned how to live within it. A place where memories linger, time bends, and the things you avoid have a way of finding you. But The Quiet is not a place you stay. It is a place that asks something of you. As Umar digs further into a truth some people would rather keep buried, and journeys deeper into a world that reflects everything he is trying to escape, he is forced to confront a question he cannot outrun: What does it really mean to let go? Because in The Quiet... you don't get lost. You either move on... or you remain.

She tried to be enough. He didn't know how to love her right. Between ego, silence, and distance - they broke. She asked for divorce. He didn't stop her. Until life forced them to face what they were losing.

Su is dead. She died calling herself a goth, dramatic, too much. The police called it suicide. Her family calls it something else. Her best friend, Naniella, doesn't believe it. Her sister won't talk about it. At Su's funeral, the family starts screaming about who killed who first. Su left behind secrets. A painting-unfinished. Is the truth in her home? Her room? In a painting? In the things she never got to say? Naniella was the only one Su trusted with her truths, her secrets. Now, she's the only one ready and determined to dig it up. So, is the culprit, the truth a painting away? Only one way to find out. Content Warning: Suicide, family violence, grief. Fast car will make you cry.

What if grief could pull you through time and into the arms of the family you lost or a love you never expected to find? After a devastating loss shatters her world, Kat is given the impossible: a second chance in a past that isn't hers. Surrounded by strangers who feel like home and a man that she feels like she's always known, she's forced to question everything she thought she understood about fate, faith, and healing. But the past isn't just a refuge. It's a risk, and loving him might cost her everything... all over again.
