    Niccolò Tasso, a student at Southern Atlantic University, is a young man obsessed with logic and order, struggling with his own perceived mediocrity.

Over a chaotic drive and a meal at a vibrant Mexican restaurant, Tasso is forced out of his comfort zone. Their intense debate on art, faith, and the nature of chaos reveals a deep intellectual clash. Tasso begins to see Dolly's apparent spontaneity as a calculated strategy, one that unsettles him by mirroring a part of himself he tries to suppress, hinting at a connection that threatens his carefully controlled world.

    [jamilton in university au] Alexander Hamilton didn't get anything for free. Every grade, every opportunity, every success was the result of hard work, discipline, and a constant struggle for a place in a world that wasn't ready for him. Thomas Jefferson was his opposite - the embodiment of privilege, confidence, and the ease with which he earned admiration. When Jefferson returned from France, their ideological conflict turned into a personal confrontation that could no longer be ignored. This is a story about inequalities hidden in the language of law, ambition fueled by anger, and what happens when your enemy turns out to be someone who understands you all too well.

    ❝ Unless you love someone, nothing else makes sense. ❞ ~ E.E. Cummings. A Dead Poets Society Story. At Welton Academy, rules are scripture, tradition is sacred, and silence is survival. For Frances "Frankie" Whitmore - the first girl quietly enrolled under a forgotten clause - it's a place she was never meant to be. Sharp-tongued and sharper-witted, she walks the halls like a secret waiting to be kept, until a boy with ink-stained fingers and too-loud laughter sees right through her. Charlie Dalton is everything Frankie isn't supposed to want - reckless, radiant, and restless to burn the world down if it means feeling something real. But beneath the mischief and bravado is a boy with too much heart, and Frankie finds herself drawn to him like a line to a sonnet - inevitable, inexplicable, and aching to be read aloud. As they're pulled into the fold of the Dead Poets Society, where poetry is rebellion and love is its own kind of defiance, Frankie and Charlie begin to discover not just each other, but themselves. In the shadow of tragedy and expectation, they will have to choose: to follow the script or rewrite the ending. A story of quiet revolutions, unsent letters, and love that lingers like verse in the margins, O My Love is a tender, lyrical ode to what we risk when we dare to be known.

    ❝The calm in my marrow spoke in muted bursts of fireworks. I was born for explosions and trying to be less.❞ Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering- the only thing ready for posthumous publication. Blood Orange Periphery includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning to recalibrating life.

    Sixth year changes everything. Genevieve Evangeline Thorne returns to Hogwarts knowing the castle no longer hold the same wonder it once did. Magic has rules now. People have patterns. And some silences feel heavier than words ever could. Tom Riddle, in his final year, is one of those silences. Brilliant, composed, and quietly feared, he stands at the edge of something far greater than school tradition or academic ambition. Genevieve sees it long before most do, not because he tells her, but because he never needs to. What begins as shared understanding grows into an intimacy built on observation, restraint, and everything left unsaid. As the school year unfolds, knowledge sharpens into power, trust becomes a liability, and the fine line drawn between loyalty and ambition thins until it nearly disappears. When the confession finally comes, what has already been set in motion cannot be undone. Because some confessions are not salvation. They are leverage. And some things are never said for a reason.

    An original internet-horror thriller by Kishtika They didn't hack the school. They hacked consent. And everyone signed-because it looked like a perk. When a "Student Perks" app drops at Mara's elite-but-broke magnet school, it spreads like oxygen. One tap: perfect grades. instant status. dream internships. Nobody reads the terms-why would they? It's free. Mara reads them anyway. Buried in the fine print is a clause that turns her blood cold: conditional ownership of one (1) future regret-redeemable at the Company's discretion. Then, at midnight, a dead account posts a story: a black screen that says- "last seen online 3 seconds ago." Anyone who watches has 72 hours. Because watching isn't a curse. It's a signature. And the moment you "agree," the app starts collecting: first tiny losses-smells, jokes, faces-then the big ones: bonds, time, identity. Students begin glitching out of attendance. Names vanish from records. Parents forget their own children mid-sentence. The school keeps smiling like nothing is wrong. So Mara builds a secret resistance: The Terms & Conditions Club. Their mission is simple-prove what the app is taking, find the escape clause, and save the ones already signed away. But the deeper they dig, the uglier the truth becomes: the contracts are personalized, inherited, and engineered so that opting out feels impossible. To rescue the people the system is erasing, Mara may have to do the unthinkable- accept on purpose... and rewrite the machine from inside. © Kishtika., 2025 All rights reserved.

    Rating: 17+ Primary Genre: Romantasy Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Military Fantasy, Elemental Magic, Political Intrigue, Slow Burn Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows. Content Warnings: Graphic combat, PTSD, grief, military violence, and slow-burn romantic tension. Reader discretion is advised. You can also find my complete story on Amazon Kindle Unlimited Edition.

    A/N: If you like dark academia, Victorian aesthetics, and a touch of steampunk, this story is for you. Target audience: teen, young adult and adult, with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of teen and fantasy books and series. And, perhaps somewhere between ink-stained pages and humming machinery, you may just meet your next favorite book couple. ~~~~~~~~~~ SUMMARY: Airya's country has been conquered by the powerful Republic, and she sees no choice but to enroll as a boarder in a school for young people from the elite aristocracy and rising bourgeoisie. And there, she meets the future leader of the entire nation. A story of young students, with rivalry tinged with butterflies in the stomach, reluctant friendships, bullets and machines, an alchemy and adventure unfolds in Etherya, the city that houses Arcanus Academia, the largest Arcad in the Republic. Trapped in a society to which she doesn't belong and forced to coexist with a leader she doesn't respect, Airya will strive to survive the school year-and perhaps, not to want to kill her all-powerful rival in the process.
