The Tale of Two Hearts
Romantic tales come from different ages, races, personalities, genders and even across time. But this tale is ordinary. Not too sweet, not too bitter.
After years of forgetting one of the greatest heartbreak she ever experienced as a child, Natascia Greenhill once again discovers her childhood friend Darrel Sasaki through a letter he gave after he left. Following her incomplete heart to find its other pair, she finds herself chasing him in the lands of America. Will love prevail?
Side note: This is my attempt in writing romance and it sucks ahh.. So if you cringe out just stop reading lmao. I have other books so check the out! I'm kinda confused to this having a lot of reads lol.

The Box
The Center.
The Center holds supernatural patients (teenagers)...
Against their will. Their abilities were infiltrated/inputted into their blood without consent. The Center is hidden from the outside world, so nobody really knows where their children head off to.
And they never will. It's such a shame. A real pity, really.

Penumbra

When I Was the Moon and You Were the Ocean
[BL | 18+] Ronan had no memory of his life before he became a siren. It wasn't a particularly solitary life; he often spent time in the quaint, seaside town people watching.

But when an unfamiliar man collapses on the beach, Ronan feels drawn to him like the tide to the moon, and he quickly realizes there's more to life than the solitude of the ocean.

As Seen on Royal Road
The Cage
Julian's dream is to become one of the most successful criminal lawyers around, so when a client asks him to venture to The Prison From Hell located on a remote island for an assignment, he jumps at the chance in hopes of a promotion. He's well-aware of the prison's infamous reputation, corrupt laws and peculiar hierarchy, so he already expects to find the baddest of the bad and the foulest of the foul within its concrete walls. Instead, he finds and catches the eye of the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on.
When Schneider Cross, the new King of the Prison, offers him a one-in-a-lifetime chance to represent him as his attorney, Julian accepts, but just before he leaves, a riot breaks out and the prison descends into chaos. Julian is unwittingly caught in its midst and is made to defend himself from a group of rapists, forcing him to kill in self-defense.
Angered, the inmates conspire to pin a bogus murder charge on Julian and have him thrown into The Prison from Hell with the intention to finish what they started. Dangerously unprepared and still reeling from the injustice, Julian must now seek the protection of the strongest man in all the prison if he is to survive. Only to ensure the King's protection, Julian must agree to become his 'bitch' and 'serve' him in an entirely different way than the first job entailed.
But how can Julian possibly agree to such a thing when he suspects Schneider of conspiring with the other inmates to get him locked up?

Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change.
As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience.
