Jasper Jean Mariano was only given one year in the Philippines - one year to live, to breathe, and pretend she wasn't on a deadline. Mark Kiefer Watson learned early that control was the only way to survive the world he was born into - until she made him lose it. 𝖥𝖾𝖾𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌 𝗀𝗋𝗈𝗐 𝗐𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗒 𝗌𝗁𝗈𝗎𝗅𝖽𝗇'𝗍.

Iris Calder finally has everything she's ever wanted: a quiet home, a devoted fiancé, and a life untouched by chaos. Theo Blackwell keeps his promises-he protects her, provides for her, and ensures nothing threatens their peace. But devotion has a shadow, and the closer he holds her, the harder it becomes to tell where love ends and possession begins.

In the not-so-distant future, aboard the Echo 11 shuttle, systems engineer Ethan Vale navigates the wonders and perils of space as humanity pushes the boundaries of exploration. After years of waiting, the crew finally reaches the Mars Space Station, but their mission is shrouded in secrecy and intrigue. While publicly tasked with analyzing carbon samples on the Martian surface, Ethan and his team are actually drawn into the mysteries of strange, massive particle clouds hovering just outside Mars's atmosphere. Ethan, with his spirited Tennessee charm, contrasts sharply with the somber formality of Director Mizell, whose strict demeanor only fuels Ethan's desire to push the limits of protocol. As he prepares for a crucial spacewalk alongside Captain Marcos Wilson -his steadfast friend and celebrated pilot-the memories of a tragic family loss surface, intertwining with dreams of heroic adventures reminiscent of his childhood. Yet, a sense of foreboding looms as the crew prepares to confront the unknown. With each passing moment and every breath taken in the weightlessness of space, the past and present collide. Ethan is propelled by the thrill of discovery but haunted by sorrow, as the team inches closer to unraveling the truth behind the enigmatic clouds-an achievement that could redefine humanity's understanding of the universe. As they gear up for their historic mission, the stakes rise, and the balance of fate teeters between tragedy and triumph. Embark on this captivating journey where a man's heart yearns for resolution, and the cosmos whispers secrets yet to be unveiled. Will Ethan and his crew find the answers they seek, or will they uncover something that challenges everything they thought they knew? Story complete! Final chapters will continue to be posted each Friday until May 1st. Story inspired by music composed by Queen E.

Living together was supposed to mean everything would be simple. But Taehyung can barely breathe when Jungkook is around. What no one knows is that he has been in love with him for far too long and it's slowly destroying him. Still, he would rather keep his distance than risk losing him completely. So he stays quiet. Pretends. Falls apart in silence. Jungkook only sees a friend who keeps pulling away. He doesn't know he's the reason why.

Araneus is reincarnated into a novel he once read before his death. In the original story, his character was significant someone meant to be tangled in the plot. Though he wasn't destined to die, he was fated to lose his sanity and become a broken, unstable man. Now aware of his future, the boy who has taken his place refuses to follow that path. Determined to escape the story's control, he distances himself from the main plot and its characters. To protect himself, he hides behind a cold, cruel façade, pushing others away before they can get close. But in a world where the story seems to pull everything back into place, can he truly avoid his fate-or will his carefully crafted persona only draw him deeper into it?

Three steps forward. One moment of silence. And suddenly-everyone is gone. What begins as a simple task turns into something far more disturbing when Grace finds herself alone in a world that no longer follows the rules of reality. The sky shifts. Space collapses. And something unseen is closing in. This is not a test. This is something else.

The herd moved on. He did not. And in the silence that followed... he began to break.

Poems about the body when it begins to fail, and the quiet loneliness that follows. A fragile vessel, holding what it can... until it cannot. A vessel of bone and silence, cracking beneath what cannot be seen. Here, the body fades before the soul is ready.

Ame, a young girl who was left alone in this world. Abandoned by her Father, left to live on the streets. Fate has brought to a small, selective group who share her gifts that caused her isolation. Her destiny; To save the world. But what is it about her that draws her to such an elite team, a family? Meeting new people as well as a young man who will alter her world, but is it for the better? Let's find out, shall we?

A young man wakes up to discover he is no longer part of the living world-yet he never truly left it. Trapped between presence and absence, Alfred becomes a silent observer of time, watching his family move on, disappear, and be replaced while he remains fixed in a forgotten room that slowly erases itself. As years pass without mercy, reality begins to fracture, and the line between existence and illusion starts to collapse. What remains is a question he cannot escape: Was he ever truly gone... or has he never truly been alive?

What we reject does not disappear-it waits, persists, and ultimately holds the key to becoming whole.

Humanity lives inside a vast tunnel that stretches for thousands of kilometers, divided into zones that no one is allowed to cross. Each person is born in a specific zone and is forbidden from leaving it. It is said that "The Silence" lurks outside-a mysterious disease that kills anyone who tries to leave. But the protagonist begins to hear a strange voice through the tunnel walls, urging him to escape. Is he losing his mind, or is he hearing the truth?

Belle needed a quiet place to paint. What she got... was The House. Described by her cousin as "quaint" and "full of character," the old mansion on the isolated farm is anything but. The house smells like something died in it in 1893 and never quite left. The lights don't work, the clocks don't agree, and the walls seem to whisper when the storm rolls in. Charming. Cut off from the outside world as the weather turns vicious, Belle is not alone. There's a man-warm, real, and very distracting... except for one small problem: She's not entirely sure he is real. Because this house doesn't behave. Doors don't always lead where they should. Time slips. Shadows remember. And sometimes, the past doesn't just echo-it replays. As old journals, strange dreams, and terrifying moments she can't explain bring together fragments of history, Belle begins to uncover tragedies that were never meant to be buried. But the house isn't just remembering. It's waiting... Funny, haunting, and quietly heartbreaking, The House is a story about love, loss, revenge, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Fra is shaped by self-awareness, trauma, contradicting thoughts and feelings, and by being a failed nihilist all at once. He sees the world with unforgiving clarity and retells his experiences with a disgustingly honest, almost too-confessional voice; shameful thoughts, taboo urges, the parts that make us "bad" friends, and the desires we can't shake off. Therapy was supposed to fix him, yet all it ever did was make him more painfully aware of everything wrong. He knew the causes, the patterns, the diagnoses-none of it helped. He walked into every session already knowing the answers and walked out with nothing to do with them. A mind that understands itself too well and still can't heal is its own kind of hell. Despite wanting to be numb, he isn't numb enough to stop caring-yet not hopeful enough to start living the way he, or society, insists he should. Knowing exactly what's wrong yet having no idea what to do with that knowledge is only one of the many tortures his emotional intelligence has handed him. [This story is a 1st person view based one, Fra and the author are not the same person characters Like Ivan or other ones may be based on real experiences but aren't real people and made up]

(Book 2 of Universal Isolation!) -- A place in the sky, unknown to others. Humans of objects used to wander around the hotel before the planet imploded. 4 members from Death Pact Yet Again wander around, attempting to find each other again. They can only hope that the Afterlife is what it sounds like. *** Tw will be stated at the start of each chapter, but expect a whole lot of gore/blood. Also, read book 1 so you don't get lost. I guess this is an AU now..?

Children grasp for adulthood like drowning men reach for air, blind to the fact that they are trading lungs for gills. Some believe themselves cheated of glory, wealth, fame, and the destiny they were surely meant for. Others simply wish to outrun their misery. Yet both burn with the same hunger... to have it all quicker, bigger and sooner. So, they pray for time to sprint. For the world to finally acknowledge their worth. But growing up is not an ascension. It is quite a patient undressing. Health crumbles. Wonder fades. Then the trust you once gave strangers without a second thought. Fame becomes a currency too heavy to carry. Respect becomes negotiation. And the wealth you chased for so long buys you everything but the ability to feel full. By the time you understand the transaction, you are already standing at the counter, empty-handed, wishing only to be a child again. This is a lesson Keisei Yukimura learns not too late throughout his life. Holding on to the last bit of positivity he still carries. [COTE: Dying Positivity.] [Self-Insert.] [AU timeline.]

He doesn't remember who he is-but people do. In a quiet, decaying city, a broke and isolated young man begins noticing gaps in his memory and strange reactions from strangers. The patterns don't make sense. The more he observes, the clearer it becomes: something is wrong. Not with the world- but with him.

It didn't feel like a dream. It felt like being trapped. Like watching something you were never meant to see... and not being able to look away. eddie wishes he had woken up sooner.

The original goal was to keep her head down and survive another year of school. Nova's plan was uprooted by moving back to the town she once grew up in. Her memories are cracked. Her powers are waking up. Two boys are as drawn in by her as she is them. One doesn't remember her. One can't forget her. One of them might not make it out of this one. Her mother's warnings resurface as ghosts from the past- and present- haunt her dreams. After a harrowing week she's pulled into the protection of friends. A motley crew that are destined to take the world into their hands, as the protectors before them once did. A dark shadow veils the town. It lives by the name Malachi- the man her mother feared most- is watching them. Plotting against them. Waiting until the time is right to unleash her twin against her. When the moon rises and casts an orange glow over the town- suffocating the sun behind it: time is up. Nova will be forced to decide if she is the girl running from her past forever, or the one forged by it.
