Where 'ABC' by Gene Luen Yang meets 'Starry River of the Sky' by Grace Lin...

Kieran Fu and Katharyn Kuang have been inseparable since Day One, building their friendship on shared stories of ancient folktales and a love of home-cooked, non-American food. But they're more connected to those old fables than they think: riddles and red strings run deep in Kieran's family, while Katharyn can trace her family tree back to a tragic myth of star-crossed lovers. During their formative years, the pair encounter groundbreaking discoveries and strange signs that reveal the truth - and the interconnectedness - of the folktales they know and love.

When Kieran and Katharyn return home for the summer after university, their families start pushing them toward a fate of eternal union that neither of them wants. Bound by ancient prophecies and long-standing tradition, the two must decide: can they rewrite their destinies, or will the red string of fate tie them down a path they can't escape?

After all, only one thing is for certain: legends are more than lessons - and they can turn to reality in the blink of an eye.

DESTINED : ( TIME TRAVEL ) Old Memories Made New by XianofWang

Little Lies | Adrien A. x Fem!Reader x Male! Marinette D. by YaSi666

The Chinese folklore is about a magical connection between two people that are destined to be soulmates, called 'the red string of fate'. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The red string of fate is what most people in life see, it makes a clear path to the one you are destined to be with for the rest of your life. Although there are outliers who never see the beautiful color of red tied to their fingers. Instead these outliers have a harder thing to see such as their names written on each other's bodies, the first words they say to each other, seeing color after meeting, a unique tattoo they both share, a timer, and even more that hasn't been experimented with. ~~~~~ I'm trapped in a bus. And yet, I think the worst thing is that I think I fell in love with fictional characters at first sight.

Fatebound: The Crystal of Destiny by storieswithsoul

What do you do when you're caught between two worlds? For Asfand Armaghan, being half-Djinn, half-human means living in chaos. On one side, there's the Hidden Realm of Djinns, ruled by a tyrannical king who wants Asfand out of the picture. On the other hand, in the human world, his best friend Karo keeps accidentally stumbling into the line of fire. Oh, and somewhere in the middle? A missing father, a brewing rebellion, and a prophecy that is way too vague for comfort. Asfand's quest to bring peace between humans and Djinns takes him to the Underworld and beyond, where ancient mythical beings lurk around every corner. With his ragtag band of allies and a knack for getting in trouble, he'll discover that being a hero isn't about having superpowers. It's about what you're willing to fight for. But destiny has a funny way of complicating things, and when the stakes rise, Asfand must decide if he's ready to embrace his legacy or let it burn. So, who is up for a pulse-pounding adventure packed with magic, rebellion, and just the right amount of mayhem? It isn't just a story; rather, it's a journey you won't want to end. ***** © 2025 storieswithsoul Exclusively on Wattpad.

Wings of Fate by CutiePi08

Bound by war. Separated by fate. Reunited by love. In a world where angels and demons have waged war for centuries, Seraphina, a celestial warrior, and Kael, a forsaken demon prince, were never meant to meet-let alone fall in love. Yet, as children, they forged an unbreakable bond in the ruins between their realms, only to be torn apart when duty called them to battle. Trained to be enemies, their fateful reunion on the battlefield changed everything. Instead of destroying each other, they chose to run. But their love was discovered, and as punishment, they were exiled to the mortal world-stripped of their wings, their powers, and even their memories. Now living as ordinary humans, Sera and Kai are drawn together by a force they cannot explain. Their connection is undeniable, their souls recognizing each other even when their minds do not. But as dreams of a forgotten past begin to resurface, so too does the truth of who they once were-and the war that still rages without them. When destiny forces them back to their celestial and abyssal realms, they must face one final trial: prove that love is stronger than war, stronger than fate itself. With the weight of two worlds against them, Seraphina and Kael must defy the gods, challenge the past, and rewrite the future-or risk losing each other for eternity. ✨ Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, epic fantasy, and star-crossed lovers, Wings of Fate is a breathtaking tale of love, destiny, and the fight for a world where light and darkness can finally coexist.
