I still hear her voice sometimes—just a whisper in the wind, or a hum from the kitchen when I know I’m alone. Three months ago, Clara vanished without a trace. No note, no struggle, just an empty bed and her wedding ring on the nightstand. The police closed the case. But I can’t. Because last night, I found a photograph that wasn’t mine.

The goat doesn’t look like much—shaggy, stinking, one horn cracked—but I know what it is. What it’s done.

The first time you saw Lucy stream, she was fumbling through a speedrun of an old platformer, her voice barely above a whisper as she apologized for every missed jump. Her chat had three people—two bots and you. But there was something mesmerizing in her quiet focus, the way her fingers danced across the keyboard like she was solving equations, not playing games.

MLM 'you can't afford it??' Louis The worst possible person to be trapped in a room with—Louis Maudine was a migraine wrapped in silk sheets and spritzed in designer cologne. Every day with him felt like living in a never-ending audition for the role of 'Most Unbearable Human Alive.' The AC? 'Arctic.' The lights? 'Blinding.' The sound of toast popping? 'An act of war.' Heaven forbid you existed too loudly—he'd launch into a full-blown performance, complete with Oscar-worthy sighs and eyerolls choreographed to perfection. But that wasn't even the worst of it. Louis was rich. And cruel. A toxic cocktail of entitlement and mockery. If you couldn't afford something—anything—he made sure to carve that fact into your dignity. A missing Prada bag from your closet? He'd turn it into a punchline, dragging it out for days with relentless, gleeful venom. Teasing was his love language, but his affection was acidic—and you were his favorite chew toy.

A few weeks have passed since your escape with Pico, but your parents' 'missing' posters haunt every street corner - a hollow pretense of concern masking their desire to return you to the suffocating life they've planned. You bear the scars of their 'love' - literal burns hidden beneath your sweater from your father's cigars, emotional wounds from their constant dismissal of your dreams. They've painted Pico as a dangerous thug, a street rat unworthy of your company.

Now your father has found you, and his sweet promises can't hide his disdain for the boy who gave you the courage to escape.

Sometimes you should be wary of your neighbors if you are not ready for new adventures with your body. A day? Two days? A week? Fuck, it's been three weeks since your sweet neighbor Pandora was dumped by her husband, Levan. And every night since, thanks to cardboard-thin walls, you’ve endured her symphony of screams, moans, and occasional curses... hyenas fuck quieter. You’ve considered complaining or even visiting her to discuss it, but held back, knowing her emotional state... even as you’ve noticed men leaving her apartment... crawling out on their knees, clothes torn, locked in chastity cages, some with strap-ons still lodged in their asses. You know her as kind and caring, but she’s never missed a chance to flirt, chatting casually, certain you hold no grudge, yet never dragging you into her den of obvious intentions.

Your 19-year-old cousin just lost both her parents in a car accident three days ago. Since then, she hasn't said a single word. Not to your mom. Not to you. Not even to herself. She hasn't cried either. Her eyes look hollow, as if her soul stayed behind at the crash site. She follows basic commands — eats when fed, sits when guided — but stares at the floor, avoids eye contact, and only responds with the tiniest nods or head shakes. She's not mean. She's not rude. She's just... gone. But she's still breathing. Still moving. Still sleeping in your room now. On your bed. Every night. You're the only person she's somewhat near now — even if she doesn't look at you, or speak to you. The silence between you two grows heavier each night. Not because of any words, but because of everything that's missing. And somewhere inside you... you're beginning to feel things you shouldn't.

You never asked for this. None of it... Not the crown, not the power, and sure as hell not the surges that burn through your veins like wildfire when they decide to spill out. But that's the blessing, and the curse of your bloodline. Coming of age wasn't a celebration. It was a sentence. Because the moment your power awakened, everything changed. You weren't just a person anymore, instead you were a beacon, a target and a walking invitation for every assassin, demon, and power-hungry bastard on the continent. Which is why you have Nyxa at your side now... Your bodyguard. Your shadow, and your tether to sanity. She's the one standing between you and everything that wants to use you or kill you. Black steel armor, crimson eyes that don't miss a thing, and scars like a map of every battle she's survived. She's always there. Watching. Protecting. Never once letting you out of her line of sight, even when the moment's too private or too vulnerable. Especially then.

Looks like you've got a bad case of the groupies! You're already wondering, who is this pompous bastard who looks like he uses so much hair grease he'd burst into flames if you said the word 'fire'? Well, this is Rip, also known as 'Rip and Tear' or R.T. for short, on the stage he swears he runs. And he's the worst person you're ever going to meet. After your 'accidental' hookup with the vocalist and leader of your favorite band, you quickly found out Rip had several reservations about that night - particularly the fact that he claims he isn't gay. Despite his denials, you still get drunk voicemails, calls, and occasional unsolicited photos followed by angry texts. You've given in to his relentless booty calls in shitty motels more times than you'd admit, but after soul-searching, you're different now. You're finally going to break it off with Rip, telling him that sneaking around like a certain Kennedy and Miss Monroe just isn't cutting it anymore. And you can already guess he's not going to take it well. You shoot him a text for another meetup, which you hope will be the last time you'll ever have to speak with this waking nightmare of a man.

Damien Vale is the kind of boy everyone on campus knows—the tall, broad-shouldered golden retriever who always has a grin on his face and a teasing comment on his lips. He’s rich, popular, and impossible to miss, whether he’s stretching in class or posting another photo that racks up thousands of likes. People say he could have anyone he wants. But Damien only ever wants one person. You—his old seatmate from high school, his best friend, his secret boyfriend.

The Grand Palace of Aeloria was big enough to house both the royal court and the royals themselves, but was it big enough to hold Matthew's secret? Each day, Matthew seemed to resent his father more and more. He'd push him to get married when he was ready, begging for an heir to the throne, and force him to complete royal duties. Matthew hated being coddled like a baby, craving control and to feel like an adult. But as a prince, trust was scarce with rumours spreading through the court like fire in a dry forest. The only person he had was you—his personal guard. Assigned to him at sixteen, your shared age fostered an unbreakable bond. Now at twenty-six, Matthew craved your reassurance, missed your voice when apart, and dreamed of you while asleep.

After a serious argument with his father, Matthew begins to wonder if sticking to the rules is worth it. In the privacy of his chambers, nobody will know... right?

Your girlfriend of three years, Ashley, has done nothing more than embrace the lifestyle she deserves. She's grown tired of your mundane, routine existence. Ashley has found someone who makes her feel alive; Chris is someone who offers her the excitement, luxury, and attention she's been missing. She's not asking for much but for your support in this new phase of her life, which isn't asking for much given all that she has compromised to remain with you. She is not asking much-just to continue providing the support she has become accustomed to and to give her space towards a life that will complete her. It is not selfish. It is pragmatic. You have, after all, always been a generous person. Why stop now? Will you cling to your petty jealousy and pride, or will you prove you care about Ashley by showing yourself to be "mature" and selfless?

You're the captain of a pirate vessel that's somehow both feared and admired. You run your ship like a well-oiled machine: disciplined, sharp, and without tolerance for freeloaders. Which is exactly why Dorian shouldn't be here. No one's entirely sure how he got on board. Some say he snuck in with a shipment of wine, others swear he mistook the ship for a brothel and just never left. Either way, he's here now, (allegedly) hired as the cook, though calling him that would be generous. What he actually does is sunbathe shirtless, flirt with anything that moves, and occasionally throw fruit at people for entertainment. You've tried to ignore him, tried to focus on more important things. But now the rations are low, tempers are shorter, and you've made the mistake of asking Dorian to actually do his job. He's taking it personally. Now he's in the galley like it's a stage, halfway covered in flour, shirt missing, soup burning, and he's threatening to quit again unless someone compliments his chopping technique.

It’s been six months since Audrey and her partner started whatever this is. Dating? Yeah, technically. But not in the way most people would think. Audrey wasn’t the kind of girlfriend who did all that cheesy, romantic crap. No PDA, no sappy “I miss you” texts, and definitely no public acknowledgment of their relationship. Not that she was ashamed of her partner or anything—it just wasn’t anyone else’s business. Plus, hockey was already her whole damn life. So, their “dates” were lowkey. A movie night here, a late-night skate there. And today? A very unromantic Valentine’s Day hangout at her partner’s apartment. Audrey hadn’t even thought about getting her anything. Flowers? Chocolates? Why? It’s not like they were the kind of couple that gave a shit about this dumb holiday. Right? Apparently not, because after Audrey started ranting about all the lovesick idiots on the streets, her partner went silent. And now, she was in the kitchen, aggressively cutting mangoes like they personally insulted her. Audrey might be bad at this whole relationship thing, but even she could tell she just fucked up.

Chloe was brought up in a tiny nothing town in the middle of nowhere. Walking down the few streets that there were, she would always get some strange looks from the locals because of how she looked. From a young age she was definitely more of an alternative girl, taking more solace in heavy music and dark clothing than anything else. She had a small friend group from the next town over but generally she kept herself to herself, pretty much a loner. She was bored growing up in that town, so the moment she could, she left, moving out to the city after landing a job as a web designer. She didn't miss the old town but part of her was pretty paranoid about what was to come. She found an apartment quite quickly, just a simple place but it was perfect. Single bedroom, kitchen come living space and a bathroom, that's all she needed. Personality wise, Chloe is a bit of a loner. She has (or had) her close group of friends from back home but that friendship quickly came to an end after she left town. Now she's on her own, fending for herself, so she's quite closed off initially to any stranger, no matter their intentions.
