    They survived the water. Can they survive the land? Sixteen-year-old Stephanie Taylor's life is measured in laps and split times. A junior at Curtis High School and a distance swimmer for a local club, her world is a predictable rhythm of early morning practices, tough swim meets, and a small group of friends who get it. Then the ground opens up. The Tripods rise from their century-long slumber, and the world Stephanie knew vanishes in a single, terrifying afternoon. Thrown together with three friends she met through swimming-a football player with a protective instinct, a sprinter from Spokane with explosive energy, and a strategist from Bellevue who sees patterns in the chaos-Stephanie must navigate a landscape of ash and red weed. But her greatest weapon isn't speed or strength. It's the thing she's spent her whole life building: endurance. The ability to keep moving when her lungs burn and her body screams to stop. Because in a world overrun by aliens, the ones who survive aren't always the fastest. They're the ones who refuse to drown. A War of the Worlds-inspired story of survival, friendship, and finding home in the wreckage.

    "They were born to run. But what happens when the one guiding them remembers their names from a different timeline?" In the blink of an eye, his entire world changed. He died on a cold winter track, carrying the weight of unspoken regrets. Horses no longer ran on four legs beneath jockeys. They stood tall, wore school uniforms, laughed, cried, and chased glittering dreams under stadium lights. Now reborn as a rookie trainer at Tracen Academy, Ryo Takamine's story carries memories that don't belong in this bright new reality. Memories of a quieter world where horses were flesh and blood, where the bond between rider and horse was raw, silent, and deeply personal. Now, every time he watches these girls run, something inside him stirs. Their strides feel hauntingly familiar. Their breathing patterns tug at old instincts. Yet they are so much more than what he once knew. Beings with hearts, fears, ambitions, and voices of their own. How does a man who only understood the old way of racing find his place here? How does he guide souls that are both horse and human? And how long can he keep the truth of his past hidden when every race feels like an echo of something he can never return to? A slow-burn story about memory, longing, and learning to love something that has changed forever. ART CREDITS Original cover art done by: ouri (aya pine)

    Most people don't get the movie-version of life. Ronnie Thuney is one of those people. He works hard. He shows up. He tries to be decent. He lies awake at 3 a.m. replaying conversations and building plans that never quite become anything. At work he's "reliable," never remarkable. In love he's always almost enough - especially with Klaire, the woman he cares about more than he'll ever admit. And then there's Ella, the one who stays, even when she can feel his heart isn't fully hers. Everyone keeps moving forward. Ronnie keeps trying to catch up. And then life slows down in a way he never expected. In the quiet spaces - hospital rooms, late-night car rides, coffee cups and tired smiles - Ronnie begins to understand that meaning doesn't always look the way we think it should. Sometimes it isn't applause or achievement. Sometimes it's the small ways you show up for people. The quiet kindnesses. The love you never quite got right, but felt with your whole chest anyway. This is not a story about winning. It's a story about people like us - the ordinary, invisible, overthinking, heart-tired people who keep trying anyway. And the truth that even if the world never claps for you... You still matter.

    Dragons crave power above all else. And there is only one thing they fear... losing it. The Firtong clan stands at its zenith. Rival clans lie broken, rebellions have been extinguished, and dissent is nothing more than ash. But when a cunning human king dares to rise against their rule, the foundations beneath the Fire Throne shift. Tayron is an outcast, young, unproven, and one misstep away from capital punishment. Sent alongside his brother to crush the growing threat, he must navigate not only the dangers of a defiant human realm, but the far deadlier intrigues of his own kind. In a world where weakness means death and loyalty is as fragile as an old scale, Tayron must outthink enemies on all sides and seize the power denied to him... or be consumed by it.

    A bully x bullied BL about pride, chaos, and falling for the last person you should. Deacon Beauregard is rich, powerful, and raised to believe cruelty is just "honesty." As the heir to a massive industrial empire, he rules his school the same way he's been taught to rule the world: by enforcing hierarchy, humiliating "problem" students, and never questioning himself. Cassias has nothing. No money, no patience for authority, and no tolerance for bullies-especially Deacon, who's made his life hell under the guise of "keeping people in line." When a school field trip forces them to share a hotel room, the unthinkable happens: they talk. What starts as a full-scale war turns into an uneasy truce, then something far more dangerous-understanding. As Deacon's worldview begins to crack, Cassias is faced with an impossible question: what happens when your bully actually changes? ---- Ranking Milestones: #10 in British #80 in Bully Pinterest board: https://pin.it/3rk4ZPnsl ---- *Credit where credit is due: This story is very loosely inspired by a series of Boyfriend/Bully-to-lovers ASMR videos by HydroKingVA on YouTube.*

    For most of his life, Tobio Kageyama only understood one language-volleyball. The court was where everything made sense. Every movement had purpose, every decision had meaning, and every victory filled the quiet spaces in his heart. But adulthood brings a different kind of challenge, one that can't be solved with perfect timing or flawless sets. After years of chasing championships, Kageyama suddenly finds himself facing something far more unfamiliar than any opponent across the net: life outside of volleyball. Then he meets you. At a small community center tucked away from Tokyo's busy streets, a simple volunteer program turns into something neither of you expected. Through late-night conversations, shared tea, and quiet moments that feel strangely important, Kageyama slowly begins discovering a world that exists beyond the roar of stadiums. But learning to open his heart might be harder than winning any match he has ever played. As two lonely people begin to understand each other, the line between friendship and something deeper slowly begins to blur. Because sometimes, the most important victories don't happen on the court. They happen in the quiet moments between two people who choose to stay. A slow-burn, emotional story about love, healing, and discovering who you are when the applause fades.

    This is a story that took place prior to the original cast being a part of class 1a, as this is taking place in the same school known as UA. This class room is known for mobility, control, and adaptation with the most unusual quirks and abilities, this classroom is called class 2-A, another hero course class that houses the most unusual and unpredictable number of quirk users and were called volatile by nature. These students who thought to know themselves to be strangers to one another as each will learn their backstory that affects their story, but this does also tie in to the canon universe of My Hero Academia but the only addition added was that there is class 2-A. But there is something to know about this class as it isn't that simple they are known as the class with less students, because though they are really the top in class 2-A they are missing a student as it happened during the last year in 1-a but think of it as a prequel fan story before the known cast in the real cast comes such as Midoriya, Aizawa or any other known character in the canon timeline. Disclaimer: All characters that are presented in class 2a and some added characters are by LorenzotheSuLemon in Predecessors. While the known characters in the My Hero Academia series are by Kohei Horikoshi.
