Summary
“You said it was bad,” Lena managed to hoarsely respond after a beat too long.
Nodding, Lillian stared up at the ceiling for a moment, her throat bobbing as her lips twisted wryly. “I’m dying. Stage four pancreatic cancer.”
“How long do you have?”
“A month, maybe two.”
“Oh.”

Returning home for the first time in twelve years to the news that her mother is dying, the last thing that Lena wants is to run into the childhood best friend she hasn't spoken to since she left Midvale all those years ago. Especially when said friend was the reason Lena swore she'd never go back home again.
Still harbouring the sting of teenage love and rejection, as well as the pressure of her unsatisfying career and resentment towards her mother, Lena's life is brought to a halt in her hometown as she's forced to confront years of repressed feelings and the truth about what she really wants out of life while waiting for her mother to die.

There was some combination of words to get her to see this but he couldn’t seem to find it: that fucking Matthieu Rivière did not need Tobias Bell trussed up like a Christmas present for his delectation. His haircut was too stupid.

Summary
𝙰𝚗 𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚎 𝙵𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚢-𝚁𝚎𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚢 𝙰𝚄
Ten years ago, the monsters rose from the underground to wage war. What followed was a decade of conquest that shattered human kingdoms and crowned a new era. Now, in the jeweled city of Velathria, where monster nobility rules through blood and magic, humanity survives only at the lowest fringes: servants, apprentices, and laborers.
At the center of this reformed empire sits High Regent Papyrus, commander turned sovereign. He led the final siege with bloodied hands after losing his brother to the war, and he has not known softness since. A gentleman by protocol and a tyrant by necessity, Papyrus surrounds himself with beauty—paintings, cuisine, dance—though he remains untouched by it.
Violet, a mute human orphan, was one of the few chosen by the palace to be shaped into a court artist. Trained as a ballerina from childhood under cruel masters and cold marble ceilings, she learned to survive with grace sharp enough to cut.
And on the night of her debut, she must perform for the High Regent himself.

Summary

Taehyung was always the undisputed ballet prodigy, until Min Yoongi, a new Russian student with impeccable technique and a past as sharp as a blade, steals his main role in the production of the Black Swan. Between cutting glances and silent provocations, a rivalry forms, but the line between hate and desire is thinner than they imagine.
In the middle of this clash is Hoseok, the school's charismatic quarterback. He is the invisible link between the two — a shared past with Taehyung, an inexplicable connection with Yoongi, and feelings he can no longer hide.

Summary

Summary
After his debut ballet was rejected by companies all across the Magic Dimension for being too risky and unorthodox, Riven arrived at the Kingdom of Solaria with dimming hope.

Musa, on the other hand, felt like Princess Stella had sold the royal ballet company on a whim, entrusting the primary season spot to a some novice. And her worst fears came true when he turned out to be an arrogant jerk. Although, it seemed Musa was the only one who felt that way about him.

Summary
Peter thought he died. He should've. But then again when he wakes up on a cargo ship, alone in a cage- he starts to rethink if actually did die. It soon becomes clear that either way if this was reincarnation, dimension travel or anything else- he was stuck here now. Stuck in this new, strangely bleak city called Gotham.
He has gone through a lot recently; dying, getting thrown into another universe, being homeless for a bit etc etc. So when he loses his coffee on the sidewalk to a very polite man who just so happens to be a butler, how was Peter supposed to know it would change the entire trajectory of his new life?
Yet strangely enough, he wouldn't have changed it for anything.

Hi! This is my first post and I just want to clarify that this work is just for fun. I’ll try to update weekly but it might be a struggle. This story is about two people that I made up, Ocean Wren and Alex Hayes. It’s a classic trope of ‘brother’s best friend’. Again, I am not taking this story too seriously and it is just for my personal enjoyment but I thought I’d share it on here and see how it does! Thank you!
