    She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

    He was her safe place. Then he became the storm. Now, he's cold. Cruel. Untouchably popular. And Shay? She's just a memory he won't look in the eye. Every word he speaks cuts her deeper. Every glance he withholds confirms her worst fear: that he hates her. That the boy who once waited for her at the bus stop is gone. That she's nothing to him now. But what Shay doesn't know is Josh is drowning in a past he can't escape and pushing her away is the only way he knows how to keep her safe from the monster he fears he is becoming. When one rainy night forces their worlds to collide again, secrets come out. Scars are exposed. And the truth between them is more dangerous than silence ever was.

    While falling in love with a drug kingpin, Tikera must prove she can survive in his dangerous world - and convince him their relationship is worth fighting for. ***** After dropping out of university and setting her sights on traveling to Europe, twenty-three-year-old Tikera Copeland is desperate for a job. So when she innocently applies for a gardening position and immediately gets hired, she's shocked to discover that her "real" job will be tending to a bunker full of thriving, (definitely) illegal weed plants. Intrigued by this world she knows nothing about, Tikera agrees to stay, but her growing feelings for "The Boss" -- the mysterious drug kingpin who owns and grows the plants -- quickly complicate things. He's falling for her too (and she knows it, even if he won't admit it), but breaking through his icy exterior won't be easy. And with thieves, vengeful hitmen, and rival kingpins threatening them at every turn, will they even survive long enough to find their happily ever after? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

    He's nervous, she's untouchable, and every moment together leaves him more flustered than the last. In a small town where nothing is simple, their slow-burn connection is full of tension, teasing, and the kind of longing that won't be ignored. fem oc x mike wheeler season 5 storylines may not all be canon for the sake of the story. This story is based on themes portrayed in the Netflix original Stranger Things. I do not own any rights to this adaptation nor the character of Mike Wheeler. This is my own original work based on my own interpretation of this character.

    She was given to him as duty, not desire. Married into a kingdom that never wanted her, she becomes the silent queen of a powerful and feared king-one who meets her patience with sarcasm and her grace with indifference. To him, she is weak.

As whispers turn into threats and the court begins to test her, the king is forced to see what he once dismissed. And when danger comes for her, he realizes something far more terrifying than war- Losing her is no longer an option.

    Varsha Sharma had always believed life unfolded in a straight line-one step after another, one dream leading gently into the next. She had love waiting for her, wedding rituals filling her days, a brother and sister-in-law who were her world, and two little souls who filled the house with laughter. Everything was set. Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed. In a single, cruel moment, her perfect life shattered, leaving her with two infants who clung to her heartbeat and a world that no longer made sense. Her marriage collapsed, her home fell silent, and every path she once dreamed of closed at once. But grief has a strange way of rearranging destinies. Pulled together by loss and bound by responsibility, Varsha and Ashwin Raina-strangers in every sense but devotion-find their lives stitched into the same story. He, the quiet, work-driven brother who lost a sister too soon. She, the bruised yet unbreakable girl who became a mother overnight. Together, they step into a marriage neither planned, building a family from the ruins of heartbreak, discovering strength in places they never looked, and learning that sometimes love doesn't arrive as a choice... but as a promise you make to those who can't make one for themselves. Sometimes love doesn't arrive as a fairy tale- sometimes it grows quietly in the spaces grief leaves behind.
