Libraries Stories

Mia thought college would be her reinvention arc. Instead, sophomore year starts with public humiliation, unresolved body image issues, a deeply concerning dependence on iced coffee, and a library floor incident that nearly results in her dying of embarrassment in front of an annoyingly attractive stranger. Jesse was supposed to be temporary. Just a cute guy in the library with suspiciously nice hands and an emotionally stable response to chaos. Unfortunately, he keeps showing up. Between late-night study sessions, campus concerts, awkward flirting, hockey games, disastrous attempts at becoming "effortlessly pretty," and Mia's ongoing war against her own brain, the line between friendship and something much more dangerous starts getting blurry. Funny, messy, painfully honest, and full of the kinds of moments that feel small until they change your life forever, Better with Time is a story about growing up, learning how to take up space, and realizing some people don't just see the version of you that you're trying to hide.

Y/N, one of the employees, closed his eyes in defeat after losing at the hands of the very AI he feared. Falling on the ground, everything became cold and darkness circled him. At least he could find solace in that pointless endeavor, dying with the one he loved. ...Until he was forced back to the world of the livings, brought back from the dead by the the one who caused this, Angela. Now in her hands, both of them will see their place of residence, the "Library", expand along with its many visitors. No, unlike the OG game, This book is not structured so that a newcomer can read it without the first story.

بين رفوفٍ صامتةٍ تنام فيها كتبٌ أقدمُ من أعمار أصحابها، تتهامس فيما بينها وتسترقُ السمع،رُفِعَ الكِتابُ المُختار ليكون الوسيط بين عالمين مختلفين. هي لم تكن تبحث عن أحدٍ، بل عن النسخة التي أصبحتها دون أن تلاحظ،عن نفسها الجديدة التي تبدّلت مع تبدُّلِ أوراق الشجر. وهو لم يكن يبحث عن الناس، بل عن ذلك الشيء الذي يُكبّلُ كاحليهِ ويُخرِسُ استغاثاته المطموسة تحت قناعٍ نُسِجَ بإتقان. كل مرة كانت أعينهما تمرّ على العالم، لم يكن العالم الذي يتبدل،بل تلك العدسات الخفية التي يضعانها دون أن ينتبها، والتي تعيد تشكيل الأشياء وترجمتها وفق ما تركته التجارب في الداخل. وفي مدينةٍ تزدحم بالخطى التي تعرف وجهتها ولا تفهم دوافعها، كانت المكتبة وحدها تقف كأنها خارج الزمن؛ مكانًا لا يُطلب فيه من الإنسان أن يكون أحدًا، بل أن يصغي فقط لما لم يُقل بعد،أن يسمع ويرى ويتعلم من صفحاتٍ حُشِرت بين قشرة ورقية هشة. بين رفّين متقابلين، كانت هناك رسالتان لا تنتميان إلى نفس اليد،لكنهما وجدا طريقهما لبعضهما.

When journalist Clara Bennett lands her first job in a busy newsroom, she expects ordinary stories and tight deadlines. Instead, she's given a single assignment: find a library that officially doesn't exist. No records. No location. Only rumors. People claim they've seen it. Some say they've been inside. None of their stories match. As Clara begins to investigate, the details start to shift. Sources go silent. Clues disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more the story begins to feel... wrong. Because this isn't just a place that's hidden. It's a place that shouldn't be found. And once it finds you- you might not find your way back.

I never thought I would be responsible for starting a rebellion. I run a library, drink too much caffeine, and listen to my assistant, Reggie -who happens to be a raccoon- talk enough for the both of us. Life was simple, if not a little lonely at times. Then Queen Calista outlawed reading and writing in Kovaria. Now one of my closest friends is trapped in the largest country in Etherys. Books are forbidden, knowledge is dangerous, and independent thought is treated like a crime. So with the help of people from all over Etherys, we are risking everything to keep not only people, but stories alive. We call ourselves the Underground Tea Society. The tea trade is booming after all, being sold by the crates on massive ships... that may or may not be operated by the occasional pirates.

But she carries a secret he was never meant to know. A truth hidden between silence and survival. As love resurfaces where it should not exist, they are forced to confront the cost of what was lost, what was hidden, and what can never be undone.

This is book 2 of The Night Library. This book CANNOT be read as a standalone. It WILL spoil book 1. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some doors are not meant to be found again. The library is gone. Whatever remained of it has slipped beyond reach, leaving behind only silence- and the uneasy sense that something has not been left behind at all. Isla should have answers now. Instead, what she carries is heavier: fragments that don't fit, truths that refuse to stay buried, and the growing certainty that the story didn't end where it was supposed to. Because something has shifted. What was once hidden begins to surface in ways it shouldn't, and the deeper Isla is pulled into it, the more the world around her begins to fracture. As if something is trying to find its way back. And this time, it isn't alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Please do not upload any part of this story to AI or language-processing platforms.

Somewhere between forgetting and remembering, there is a library. It doesn't appear on any map. It can't be searched for. It simply finds you. Usually on an ordinary day, in an ordinary place, at the exact moment you stop being able to carry everything alone. Inside, the quiet architecture responds to your presence. Glass jars hum softly as you pass them. A scroll unrolls only as far as you are ready to read. Rooms appear only when you stop looking for them, and doors loop back into themselves. Nothing here is lost. Everything here has been kept in trust. The longer you stay, the more familiar it all becomes, until you begin to suspect the truth. This place was not built for you. It was built by you. And it has been waiting, patiently, certain that someday you would finally come back. An immersive second person journey through the depths of grief and dissociation.

AUGUST HUXLEY was the type of person to never care about himself, only others. He lived a quiet life since no one bothered to know him, his only friends being his sister, her boyfriend, and their childhood best friend. August is going through his eleventh grade year and is slowly falling apart as the grades eat him alive and his mental health depletes, and it doesn't help when you have a jock who's favorite past time is beating you up. August would much rather not complain about what's going on since his sister already has so much on her plate, but so does he. In all honesty, August would rather be.... dead. NOLAN LEDGER is the son of world-renowned actors and was forced into acting at the ripe age of one. Being famous was all he ever knew, he didn't get to live the normal teenager life of going to in-person school or hanging out with friends, maybe even diving into the parents liquor cabinets when they were away, but then again how could you when you're watched like a hawk by not only your parents but the press? One wrong move and your whole career is destroyed. All Nolan ever wanted was to live a normal life like other seventeen year olds, but he knows that he could have it worse. But sometimes he wishes the worst would be his case because in his mind.... acting was slowly chipping away at his happiness if he ever had genuine happiness. When the two meet in an unexpected way the hope of a friend drew them in but the two would be thrown for a loop when what they thought was a love that friends shared turned into something a litte more.... romantic. With careers on the line and a depleting mental health, will the two boys get the love they've craved from that special someone for so long or will one of them be taking that longing to the grave? *heavily unedited, it WILL have grammatical errors <3*
