Summary
Juniper Henderson wants more. More than Hawkins, and cornfields and cul-de-sacs and the slow, suffocating idea that a girl's life should eventually shrink into a sensible shape.
Hawkins, Indiana, is the kind of place that eats girls like her for breakfast, small-town girls with big ideas and a restlessness that buzzes under their skin like a live wire. It is the sort of place where people settle and grow roots instead of wings. Where the future looks suspiciously like a beige suburban house, a husband who disappears to work or a couch-induced coma, and children who treat basic chores like an insult. Juniper would rather chew glass than serve out such a prison sentence. No, she wants to dig her nails into the marrow of the world and leave her fingerprints there.

Summary
"While dragon dreams affect only those with the blood of the dragon, the dreams that plague the disciples of the Church of Starry Wisdom are far more sinister, driving their dreamers almost mad in the process. Established by the Bloodstone Emperor, the first usurper and the last ruler of the mythic Great Empire of the Dawn, the church worships Nyarlathotep who is called "the Haunter of the Dark". Many scholars believed the Bloodstone Emperor to have been the first High Priest of the church, a practitioner of the dark arts, necromancy, and cannibalism. His descendants are said to be inheritors of his torment and treachery, bound to the very same deities he once enslaved himself to."
In which Naerys Targaryen, disputed bastard of King Viserys I, traitor wife to Gwayne Hightower, foresees the impending downfall of the Targaryen dynasty, and despite her desperate attempts, she finds herself powerless to prevent the destruction that looms over her family. Haunted by these inevitable visions, her plight underscores the tragic futility faced by those burdened with foreknowledge in a world where destiny cannot be altered.

Summary
A girl is still a girl, even if her mother bore her with a weapon for a mouth, or maybe it was her father who put it there. A girl is still a girl, even as her teeth drip lead and her lips bleed red-from biting her tongue or saying too much, she can never tell. A girl is a girl because she can be nothing else.
A dog is still a dog, even after his father has pulled out all his teeth. A dog is still a dog, even as he licks his bleeding gums and whimpers apologies to the very jaws that tear the fur from his flesh. A dog is a dog because he stays.
In which the grandchildren of Oh Il-Nam are the reluctant heirs to his macabre games, and must go against everything they've been raised to believe, in order to dismantle the system they help uphold.

Summary
After your brother was killed under the command of newly appointed Colonel Caleb Xia, you swore you'd never forgive the man who returned from the mission when your brother did not. But when you're forcibly reassigned as his second-in-command, you're pulled into a cold war of secrets and bloodstained power plays.
Assigned to spy on the colonel by the same institution that decorated your brother's grave with empty honours, you find yourself caught between two monsters, one who watches from above, and one who stands too close. But there's more to Caleb than perceived cruelty. He’s calculating, obsessive, and far too interested in what lies beneath your controlled fury. The closer you get, the more you begin to wonder: Is this grief? Hatred? Or the start of something far darker?

Summary
Esther Park was never meant to be a hero, just a photographer with a sharp eye and a sharper tongue, someone who saw the poetry in puddles and paper planes. What began as paparazzi gigs and scandal shots in Blüdhaven’s back alleys shifts the moment she’s offered a job at The Daily Planet.
In Metropolis, Esther throws herself into chaos with no regard for self-preservation, capturing the heart of disaster with a lens that refuses to look away. Fires, alien invasions, collapsing buildings—she’s always in the center of it, chasing the perfect image like a woman possessed. But there’s one constant interruption: Superman. He keeps pulling her from wreckage, scolding her for recklessness, and showing up just in time to ruin her shot.

Summary
"You're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don't even have a name for."
The daughter of a man who mistook ownership for love and a woman who didn't quite know how to let go, Isabelle Rochefort is a tragedy in the making.
To her, marriage is a scam. Love? A mere illusion. After all, to the members of the Ton, there was no better love match than that of her parents, but few knew the truth about the late duke's treatment of his wife behind closed doors. Raised by her older brother after the tragic demise of their parents, Isabelle has meticulously crafted her apathetic facade over the years, warding off potential suitors and friends alike. Yet, much to her chagrin, a certain Bridgerton boy refuses to relent until he has unearthed what he believes to be her truest self, a version of her she isn't quite sure she recognizes anymore.
Wasn't it easier, after all, to abandon everything, so that one is not abandoned?

Summary
The first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable.
Rin Nakamura is born with the taste of carrion in her mouth and the future coiled like a noose around her neck. Fate waits, patient as a butcher, sharpening its knives on her spine, and every step she takes leaves something of her behind, shreds of mercy and ribbons of doubt sloughing off like skin torn from muscle. She is hollowed slowly, lovingly, until there is more vacancy than girl, until her insides echo with the voices of things older and hungrier than gods. When the world finally splits her open, it is not a surprise. Her blood soaks into the soil as if it has always belonged there, and the prophecy closes its mouth around her bones, satisfied.

Summary
Everyone knows Fred and George Weasley are the masterminds behind every clever scheme and carefully crafted plot within the walls of Hogwarts. So, when a frustrated Oliver Wood comes to them with a personal dilemma, the twins can't resist. After all, who are they to deny their beloved Quidditch captain-and what's more, an opportunity for a bit of sport?
The mission is clear: Oliver Wood has his eye on the elusive Hufflepuff darling, a girl with a dating ban so strict it's practically legendary. Her one condition for considering romance? Her fiery, sharp-tongued friend, Han Yuri, must find her own perfect match first. Easier said than done, as Yuri's prickly demeanour and razor wit are enough to send even the bravest souls fleeing. But not Fred Weasley, and he is ready to sweep Yuri off her feet-or at least keep her distracted long enough for Oliver to make his own moves on her friend.
His playful ploy quickly becomes something else as Fred realizes that underneath his opponent's tempestuous exterior lies a will just as stubborn as his own, and he has to remind himself that in this game, he's only playing her for a fool, not trying to win her heart.
Because, in the end, all's fair in love and Quidditch.

Summary
Lucerys Velaryon was a coward who did not wish to die, but die he did, with all the bravery his young heart could muster.
And with his death, the war of ravens and envoys came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.Daenys Velaryon no longer knew the difference between sacrifice and self-slaughter, nor where the violence against oneself ended. Velaryons were supposed to be of the sea, but she was a burning ship, a vicinity one had to always flee. If anyone deserved to extinguish themselves in a kamikaze blaze, it was her, the one who would be missed least of all, who was needed least of all when the realm finally knew peace.
Aemond Targaryen still belonged to his wife. Though he had been absent too long, and the graveyard of old bones and lost kin that spanned between them was far too vast, he still held onto the memory of her. He was a hunter whose trap had mangled the wrong creature, but it was the law of the world, for a knife and a wound to seek each other out, because they spoke in a language of damage no one else did, and now he owed her a debt.
In which Daenys Velaryon must come to terms with the fact that the man she loves has committed an unforgivable crime.

Summary
Lyssandra Velaryon, the sole fruit of the unfortunate marriage between Ser Vaemond Velaryon and Lady Elanor Stark, has been accompanying her father on his voyages for as long as she can remember. She finds unparalleled joy in the sensation of the wind and sea spray in her hair and the lingering scent of salt left behind by the ocean. However, there is one thing she cherishes even more: her secret affection for the future Prince of Dragonstone.
Jacaerys Velaryon, a prince scorned, has lived his life under the shadow of whispers and doubts about his lineage, exacerbated by his distinctly mundane features. In response to these incessant murmurs, he strives to overcompensate for his perceived shortcomings in every conceivable way. To the world, it appears as though he has succeeded in maintaining an impeccable facade, but there is one person who sees the true cobbled mess of insecurities and efforts he is inside, and he is resolute in his quest to understand her true self, just as she has seen the real him.
The two of them find their fates entwined when Rhaenyra Targaryen, seeking to sate Ser Vaemond's thirst for the Driftwood Throne, proposes a betrothal between them.

Summary
"I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens and I find that I've been knocking from the inside."
Astrid, marked from birth as the devil's own, bears the weight of a curse whispered through cold convent walls. Torn from her mother's arms, she endures the cruel rites of exorcism at the hands of fervent nuns, their prayers laced with fear and fire, and the years that follow see her shaped by the merciless hands of Danish warriors too, her innocence tempered into steel.
Ruthless, godless, a heathen whose hubris rivals even that of Achilles, she has become something to be feared, for what else is she to do when all the gods have forsaken her? What else is there to do but become your own diety when there is no one else to turn to?Sihtric x Fem! OC
