AFTER MARRIAGE A story where opposites collide, a contract turns into connection, and love struggles to survive between memory and fate. Two strangers. Two different souls. Two entirely different countries. And one unexpected bond… that neither of them can escape. “After Marriage” is not your typical love story. It’s filled with comedy, drama, fights, raw emotions, hate, and eventually… a love so complex, even fate struggles to contain it. Meet Sita and Vedehi — two women, each battling the crushing weight of family expectations, personal heartbreaks, and the relentless search for someone who truly understands them. Sita is calm, reserved, and craves peace in a world that constantly demands too much from her. Vedehi, on the other hand, is a storm — loud, lively, unfiltered, and unapologetically chaotic. Where Sita loves order, Vedehi thrives in mess. Where Sita enjoys silence, Vedehi can’t eat without music blasting in the background. So how do two such polar opposites end up married? In a desperate bid to escape the mounting pressure from their families and the loneliness of being abroad, they both travel to England — hoping to find their perfect match. But what they find instead… is disappointment. Then, in a moment of impulse and mutual frustration, Vedehi proposes a contract: Two years. No feelings. Just marriage on paper — to silence the world around them. Sita agrees. But things were never going to be that simple. Sita’s heart still belongs to someone else — a girl she once loved deeply and is still searching for. Vedehi, despite the contract, starts falling for Sita — quietly, helplessly, and completely. She even helps Sita in her search, all the while hiding the ache of her own growing affection. And just when the truth begins to surface… Fate intervenes. A tragic accident. A forgotten memory. Sita wakes up — and remembers nothing. Not the contract. Not the marriage. Not Vedehi. Everything they built, everything they shared, vanishes in an instant. Now, Vedehi stands at the edge of heartbreak — holding onto memories that no longer exist in Sita’s mind. Will Sita ever remember her? Will she ever feel the love that Vedehi so silently, so selflessly gave? Or will this marriage remain just a forgotten contract, lost in the fog of time? "After Marriage" is a heart-touching story of two women bound by circumstance and separated by memory. It’s about fighting for love when love itself forgets you. About rebuilding what was once broken. And about discovering that sometimes… the real love story begins after “I do.”

Raka Wright had just turned 18, it was supposed to be a joyous day. Filled with joy and laughter, instead, the sky split into two. They called it The Merger. That day, a second sun bled through the clouds and stitched the fantasy realm of Arche to Earth. Skyscrapers swallowed by mountains, coastlines vanished in fire, and entire countries burned to ashes. A silver-tongued deity dangled salvation before Raka’s family, then dropped them to their deaths. Where other survivors stretched trembling hands toward divinity, Raka met the gods’ gaze and did not flinch. “If heaven will not mourn with me, let it tremble before me.” Somewhere in the shattered world, time holds its breath around a sleeper wrapped in humming light—an unfinished weapon awaiting its cue. Behold the one forged in the fires of the end of the world, destined to kindle the first light of its rebirth. Things to expect: - Magic mixed with technology - Weak to strong, gets a boost in the beginning but its a hard climb from there. - Slow pacing, like pretty slow - Post Apocalyptic-ish - Action scenes that make sense - God vs Mortal and rewriting fate themes Note: SLOW PACED STORYTELLING! *********** I will also be posting on RoyalRoad . com u der the same name. https: //www . royalroad . com /profile/707226/ fictions **********

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

"KRRRRRR-CHAKKKKK!!!" That sound... like a sack of meat being squeezed between grinding machines and bones being crushed slowly. Colin's body was ripped in half from the waist up, his intestines gushing out like disgusting pink ropes. The rest of the body was thrown into the air-against the cave wall-and hung bleeding like meat that the butcher failed to hang. Her scream was incomplete. Only the sound of "Agh-GUUHHKKKK!!" turned into a torrent of blood. The creature stepped forward, tearing into its next victim again, its voice now turning into a foul mutter full of rage, like living flesh laughing and crying at the same time. "HHHHUHUHHHH... HRRRRRGHGGGHH... NNNNRRRRRRAUUUK HHH-!!!"

A story of a girl who taught she's fated to be a hated but bounced back "After The Storm"

The golden age of Earth came to an end not with fire from the sky, but with a slow, grinding collapse. Natural resources dwindled. Oceans receded. Forests turned to ash, and the air grew thin with dust and radiation. Governments fell one by one, swallowed by famine, fear, and flames of rebellion. Civil wars erupted like a chain reaction, and in their wake came the weapons of last resort-nuclear strikes, engineered plagues, and artificial climate catastrophes. Humanity, once the architects of progress, had become the agents of their own undoing. The Earth didn't die all at once. It bled out slowly, a planet choked by the very hands that nurtured it. And yet, from the scorched remnants of a broken world, the survivors rose again. They built a fragile new order: the United Council, interstellar courts, Martian colonies. The dream was rebirth. The reality? A ticking bomb. Beneath the surface of renewed society, old tensions simmered-class divides, political corruption, territorial disputes. Peace became a thin veil stretched over growing cracks. Mars, the crown jewel of Earth's off-world ambitions, turned into a crucible of unrest.
