Devastation Stories

In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter. Five years later, a single phone call summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago. Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?

This MAY not be a love story where love wins. This is a story about the cost of survival-about what has to be surrendered when power chooses you, and how some acts of mercy look indistinguishable from cruelty. There are moments in this story that will feel tender. You should not trust them. But that is up to you. There are promises that will sound safe. They may not be. Pay attention to what is missing, not what is said aloud. Forget-me-nots appear often. They may not be symbols of hope here. Some memories are taken. Some are given away. And some are destroyed so thoroughly that no one left behind will ever know what they lost. If you are looking for justice, you may not find it. If you are looking for comfort, you will find it in a summer beneath the trees. But you have been warned. But if you are willing to follow a girl who learns-too late-that love can be the most dangerous form of magic, then turn the page. Just remember: the kindest spells rarely feel kind at all. 18+ advised, use of drugs, alcohol and some sexual scenes further down the line though they can be shipped.

Some hearts don't break - they decay slowly, silently... until there is nothing left but pain. His life is a battlefield of grief, rage, and memories that gnaw at his soul like ghosts that refuse to leave. He has taught himself not to feel - not to hope, not to love, not to remember. The past lives inside him like poison, and he carries it alone... cold, distant, and exhausted. He swore he would never let anyone close again. He swore he would never allow himself to feel. But emotions don't ask for permission - they burn, they ache, they breathe. With every glance, every unspoken word, every moment that lingers too long... He feels the walls he built begin to crack. Their connection is raw... suffocating... painfully real. And as truth slowly begins to surface, He must face the one thing he has spent his life running from - not the past, not the memories... ...but the feelings that refuse to die - no matter how hard he tries to destroy them.

In a world where the stars decide who you are allowed to love, she was never meant to remember him. He was erased from history. Their love was erased from time. But some souls remember each other anyway. When the Stars Remember Us is a slow-burn fantasy romance about forbidden love, past lives, and choosing each other in a universe that demands obedience. As ancient powers tighten their grip and memories awaken, two lovers must decide whether love is worth defying fate itself. ✨ Fate vs free will ✨ Slow burn → emotional devastation ✨ Forbidden intimacy ✨ Star-bound magic ✨ Love that changes the universe Some loves are written in the stars. Others rewrite them.

"Some people see the world as it is. I see the world as it could be-if I fight for it." Altair arrived at Oxford feeling out of place, a stranger in a city of stars. Everything was unfamiliar... until a chance encounter with Yuna made the impossible feel alive. In a world where science can bend reality and hearts collide in silence, love becomes a force stronger than any disease, any limitation, any fear. This is a story about daring to fight for tomorrow, even when today feels like it's slipping away. About the quiet power of devotion, the courage to chase impossible dreams, and the bonds that survive even the hardest tests of fate. Sometimes, the stars write letters we can't read... until we fight to see them.

do not read if your easily triggered. Jack and Elle meet at school who knew it could progress into such love.
