The Carry of My Life

Morgan Forrest

Duong Mien steps into Zenith Gaming — the org where Tham Nhat Hoai reigns as the star midlaner — carrying the memory of a disbanded team, a dream she almost abandoned, and the most complicated feelings in the world for a person who is both her inspiration and the reason she lost everything. He does not know she exists. She knows him too well. And that is the problem. As the competitive season pulls them closer — through scrimmages, regional qualifiers, and the national championship — the line between rivals and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But before either of them can cross it, the truth Duong Mien has been carrying must come to light. In a world where every match has a winner and a loser, the hardest victory is learning to trust the person you never planned to need.

A story about the lies that save us, the art that rebuilds us, and the dying stars that change the shape of the dark forever.

The Glitch That Loved Me

Ivy Violet

When tech mogul Victor Sterling falls through a space-time rift and crash-lands on struggling content creator Chloe Vance's balcony, he loses everything that ever defined him: his empire, his AI assistant, and his ability to operate a rice cooker. Stranded in a "primitive" world with a 30-day countdown to reactivate his only way home, Victor strikes a deal with Chloe: he'll star in her viral comedy videos in exchange for room, board, and survival lessons. But as their fake-it-till-you-make-it arrangement turns their lives upside down, both discover something neither expected -- that being truly seen matters more than being in control. With Victor's corporate empire scheming to declare him dead and Chloe's own wounds warning her not to trust anyone with a camera pointed at them, they'll have to choose: the world they know, or each other.

The Fiancée Between Two Skies

meetmymoon

In the city of Meridian, where glass towers stand beside ancient castles and sky trains run above cobblestone streets, Aveline Corvayne has been promised to Julian Veyr — heir to the most powerful house in the city and keeper of the Meridian Engine, the machine that holds their world together. The engagement is perfect. Aveline is prepared. And then, the night before the betrothal ceremony, she sees a man in the mirror who is not Julian. He has Julian's face and a different soul entirely. He calls himself Caelan Veyr, and he comes from Nocturne Meridian — a parallel city existing beneath a violet sky, dissolving piece by piece from reality. He tells her the engagement contract she is about to sign has two layers of ink. He tells her one world is being chosen to survive. He tells her she is the one doing the choosing — whether she knows it or not. Caught between a fiancé who offers safety and a man who offers truth, between a world that is stable and a world that is dying, Aveline must unravel the conspiracy buried inside the Accord that binds her — before the machine beneath both cities makes the choice for her. Because the Meridian Engine does not care who she loves. It only cares which sky gets to remain.

Starfall Covenant

starrybullet

In the northern kingdom of Auralis, the sky has been cracked for as long as anyone can remember — split open by Star Veins that bleed silver light across the dark. Every thirteen years, a Starfall comes: star fragments raining down, beautiful and lethal, hollowing out the memories of any soul they touch for too long. Elyra Vane is the last Starbinder of her bloodline — the only one who can seal the rifts, at the cost of her own memories. She has already forgotten her father's face. She is afraid that one day she will forget why she ever fought to remember at all. Caelan Drost is the captain of the Nightwardens, the soldier with platinum ash hair and no shadow. Five years ago he survived a ritual that was supposed to kill him. He has spent every day since believing he was saved by someone who loved him. He was not. He was used. When the largest Starfall in recorded history begins tearing Auralis apart, Elyra and Caelan are bound together by the Starfall Covenant — he protects her body, she protects his soul from Hollowing. But the closer they come to the truth, the more impossible it becomes to look away: the sky was never the enemy, the Hollow King is not the monster they were told, and the love growing between them was engineered from the beginning as the most perfect fuel the city’s machine has ever found. The question is not whether they were set up. The question is whether, knowing that, they choose each other anyway.

Life, Take Two

meetmymoon

After grief empties her life in Tokyo, Koharu Mizuse returns to her grandmother's seaside laundry shop in the small town of Fuyunagi for one winter — intending only to help with the paperwork before moving on. Instead, she finds Itsuki Aonuma, an independent podcast creator who reads an entire town's sorrows every night at ten but has forgotten how to carry his own. What Koharu doesn't tell him is that his voice was the only thing that kept her from disappearing in the months after her best friend Mio died — and that Itsuki once read Mio's last letter on air without knowing she was already gone. Through four seasons of small, ordinary moments — snow and spring chores, fireflies by the river, autumn arguments, and a lantern festival in the snow — they don't save each other. They simply stay, until staying becomes something worth choosing.

The Bride Who Was Never Grace

hwahwachan

Brought to Ravencroft Manor as a bride for the cold and rumored heir, a young woman begins to unravel a truth far darker than a cursed estate: the name Grace Velmira is not hers alone, but a legal identity passed down through generations of erased women, each trained, deployed, and discarded by the families who profited from a rare and dangerous flower. As she investigates the death of the bride before her, discovers that the dead woman is still alive, and uncovers the grave of the mother she was told had abandoned her, she must also reckon with the man she is falling for — who knew what she was walking into, and let her walk in anyway. A gothic slow burn romance about identity, complicity, and the difference between a name you were given and the one you choose.
