Summary
One touch tore her from her own reality and cast her into a stranger's ruin. A submarine adrift in an ocean of blood, guided by a man wearing the face of someone she once knew. Neither chose this descent, but with each mile they sink, each secret they surrender, they're woven more into one another, until there is no telling where his ending stops, and hers begins.

Summary
Born with a gift in taming the beasts of the wilds and with a natural talent for tracking and marksmanship, Tanner, The Boy Wonder of the West, changed the very history of the Western Territories. As the youngest Saurboy to ever be sworn into the Guild, Tanner is what every young westerner dreamed of becoming; a living legend. Which only made his unexpected disappearance and presumed death at the age of 27 all the more heartbreaking for the West.

Summary
Clara, 28, is over the grind. Her old job sucked the joy out of her life—now she wants something simple, satisfying, and maybe a little bit fun. When her best friend Violet suggests Morning Glory Milking Farm, Clara jumps at the chance.
The only problem? Her new job is awakening a lot of long-dormant desires. Cambric Creek is open-minded, the monster men are hot, and Clara’s ready for a little indulgence.
She finds her groove—and more than a few admirers. Soon, she’s the face of a bold new offshoot: Midnight Milking Cabaret, where Clara gets to milk clients her way, under the stage lights, with an audience that can’t take their eyes off her.
But no one watches her like Brogan.
The brooding, old-money minotaur has been obsessed since their first session. Clara’s hunger, her spark, her unapologetic lust—they’re driving him wild. She craves freedom; he promises worship. And when the time is right, he plans to claim what’s his....too bad she despises him, they don't get along, are constantly at odds.

Years after the war, Severus Snape is finally sentenced for his crimes. To the surprise of himself (and of True Crime Witches everywhere) he isn’t given the Kiss.
Instead, stripped of his magic and exiled to the Rocky Mountains, he spends his days making muggle soap, riding bikes, and pretending he doesn’t miss the feeling of a wand in his hand.
That is, until an anonymous user begins flooding his online cycling journal with comments.

Summary
So Ben was not coming to Christmas. Was not gonna be around for New Years. Whatever.
It’s December 20th. Sort of. The 21st, if we’re being technical. Matt moved out of his dorm last night with Kyle’s resistant assistance, and he’s lying in bed, staring up at his ever so familiar popcorn ceiling, thinking.
He’s got a real gripe with that. Thinking. It should not be so easy to keep the shit inside alive. Spiraling should be more effortful, not a mode to slip into all unaware and clumsy. One thought jumps to another, rocks in a lake, contact tepid at best. Matt spirals like second nature. First nature. It happens without permission; the car swerves right when his hands drop contact with the wheel.
There are decisions to be made. Winter Break is the time for decisions.

Summary
**Bare with me, this is my first fanfic writing**
She never expected to see him again—especially not behind a skull mask, leading elite operations for Task Force 141. Hardened by years apart and shaped by her own battles, the female protagonist(name is still in the works) joins the task force with one goal: to prove herself. But fate has other plans.
Among the chaos of missions and military life, she finds herself face-to-face with Simon "Ghost" Riley, the childhood friend she thought she'd lost forever. Their reunion is anything but simple. Ghost is colder now, buried beneath layers of trauma and silence. Yet something in her presence stirs the man beneath the mask.
As she earns her place among legends like Captain Price and Soap, she and Simon begin to rediscover the bond they once shared. Between gunfire and quiet moments, laughter returns—tentative, rare, and healing. And with it, the possibility of something deeper.
In this emotionally driven, slow-burn fanfic, two souls scarred by war find each other again—not just as comrades, but as something more.

Summary
Hermione could smell the spice of his cologne, something slightly woodsy and old… like parchment from the restricted section of the Hogwarts library. The scent oddly suited him and his antiquated existence in this formal, strict sector of the Wizarding World.
She shook her head slightly as if to remove the smell from her brain and returned to the matter at hand. “Would people truly believe you’re courting me? A muggle born?”
Draco’s gaze snapped to Hermione’s face intensely, searching it. “I will make them believe,” he said with such conviction that Hermione found it impossible to argue.
“How do you plan to do that?” Hermione asked, annoyed to find her voice sounded quite breathless.
“Leave that to me,” Draco said, a smirk taking over his face that Hermione had never seen at Hogwarts; it was charming and dangerous at the same time. A flush crawled up her neck and sat beneath the dense twist of curls at the nape of her neck.
[A Regency AU/Bridgerton-inspired fake dating Dramione romance peppered with Romeo + Juliet references.]
