    At Morrington University, appearances are everything. Adrian Blackwell is the perfect professor-charming, respected, and impeccably put together. But beneath the polished exterior lies a mind that thrives on control, observation, and manipulation. As whispers spread and loyalties are tested, the students around him begin to feel the invisible pull of his influence. Julia, Emma, Lana, and Carter each navigate a world of pressure and uncertainty, where every glance, every word, and every decision carries hidden consequences. Tension builds, alliances shift, and trust fractures, until the fragile balance that keeps Adrian at the center begins to crumble. In a story of secrets, calculated moves, and escalating psychological suspense, Tipping Point explores how far one man can bend perception-and how quickly the threads of control can unravel. The first book in the Adrian Blackwell Chronicles, this dark psychological thriller will keep you questioning who's in control... and who will survive the storm.

    Harry's second year was supposed to be another triumph, despite the 'Chamber of Secrets' incident. Pity that the boy in the diary seems to have a different opinion on the matter. Disclaimer: The tags say it all. Not a healthy relationship, at least in the beginning. Gaslighting and manipulation involved. No slash. Mentor/ pupil. / Not romantic bc, surprise, these dynamics also exist. If you are searching for romance between Tom and Harry, you will not find it in this story. The gifs and pictures included are not mine. They belong to their respective creators. I only wrote the story and the OCs.

    Power is an illusion-crafted, shaped, and imposed by those who understand its nature. It does not belong to the strongest or the loudest but to those who control perception. You believe you are free, that your choices are your own, but are they? Every thought, every desire, every fear has been influenced, shaped by unseen forces. This book is not a comfort. It will not reassure you. Instead, it will reveal what has been hidden-the mechanics of control, the psychology of manipulation, the subtle hands that guide your every move. The greatest trick of power is making you believe you were never controlled at all. Look around. The world is built on carefully designed illusions. Politics is not about governance but persuasion. Business is not about value but influence. Even love, friendship, and loyalty are bound by unspoken power dynamics. Every interaction is a game-some play it, others are played. The most skilled manipulators do not force decisions; they guide them. They do not impose their will; they make you believe it was your own. True influence is invisible, a whisper rather than a command. Fear, desire, guilt, admiration-these are the strings that pull at the human mind, and those who master them control everything. But this book is not just about them-it is about you. You have been shaped, controlled, deceived. And whether you realize it or not, you have done the same to others. Now the question is: will you remain blind, or will you learn to see? Welcome to "The Grand Illusion: The Art of Power, Manipulation, and Deception". The choice has always been yours... or so you've been led to believe.

    I just met this handsome guy and on our first night we kissed. It was delightful and we even slept on the same bed. We spent the night together and went on dates. This went for over a week straight until one day at school i saw him flirting with another girl. That was my ex bestfriend he was flirting with.. I talked to him and he told me he never cheated since we were never together. That broke my heart and trust so i cried over him for a week. My friends laid me help by comforting me and suggesting i should just find another guy. So i met this guy Zayden and he became my bestfriend. I didn't think of him as we were gonna be couples but he was like a brother to me. I just thought i was gonna get back up in life until i faced the hard truth of reality. Was this guy really good for me? Or was the people surrounding me bad for us? Danger after danger after problems after danger comes our way. Im not sure if i can hold on any longer... Im questioning everything. Were my friends really my friends? Who are my real allies and my enemies? Was Aiden really inlove with me? I don't know anymore... (Conclusion) A Story about brothers that were in a conflict with other families and it's still a mystery if they were good for protecting me from danger, or bad for bringing it. Alot of plot twists in this story and i highly recommend it if you like mysteries. It's also in taglish.

    These are the thoughts that replayed in my mind day and night, conversations with myself that kept me awake long into the dark hours, memories that clung to me like shadows, and moments from my twenties that have haunted me. This is my diary, a glimpse into the most vulnerable parts of life on full display. No longer hidden in the quiet corners of my mind and heart. Every feeling, every heartbreak, every truth - finally brought to light. Revealed in its purest form. It's oddly therapeutic - reopening old wounds, letting them breathe. Painful, but necessary. I wrote this to be free. To let go a part of my life that has consumed me emotionally and mentally for far too long. Maybe this is the closure I'll never get from Maddie but the one I can finally give myself. *No real names are used*

    Arjun Malhotra, a solitary psychologist in Pune, rescues an injured pigeon named Pari while nursing his own unspoken wounds from a childhood scarred by domestic abuse. His quiet life unravels when client Maya Verma seeks help escaping her controlling husband, Varun. Drawn by shared pain, Arjun blurs professional boundaries, sheltering Maya and envisioning a gentle future together-until she vanishes, leaving a note and, days later, news of Varun's fatal car crash. Haunted by suspicion, Arjun uncovers Maya's calculated deception: she and an old lover orchestrated Varun's death for inheritance, using Arjun as an unwitting alibi and emotional decoy. Betrayal ignites not violence but a chilling psychological counterstroke. Posing as a new therapist, he re-enters her life, sowing doubt, gaslighting her reality until her mind fractures. Maya confesses to police in a breakdown, evidence dissolved; she's institutionalized. Arjun, hollowed by revenge, releases a healed Pari to the sky and retreats inward, emerging to teach the fragile line between empathy and entrapment. In the end, an empty cage and a journal entry remain: love twisted into a cage is merely loneliness begging for recognition.

    Hunter doesn't have a very healthy relationship with pain and punishment. He's spent nearly his whole life learning to grin and bear it - after all, it's his own fault for slipping up; for provoking Emperor Belos's wrath. Right? (It's not. It never has been. But unlearning trauma is not a simple thing.) ------ Written before "For the Future", with weekly updates leading up to the episode drop.
