Astral Hearts

Seraphina is a brilliant, but emotionally guarded second-year student at the prestigious Astral Institute of Medicine and Technology, majoring in Astrophysics with a minor in Computer Science. Hailing from a humble background in Nepal, Seraphina is driven by a desire to escape her family’s struggles, which have shaped her into an empathetic yet lonely young woman. Although she excels academically, her heart remains closed off, haunted by the feeling of never being truly loved or understood. Her family’s sacrifices, the pressure of survival, and the constant battle with self-doubt have made her question if she will ever find someone who truly sees her. Ash is the charismatic, but emotionally scarred lead singer of the popular band ANTARES, and the CEO of Astral Institute. Despite his success, his past is filled with loss, trauma, and betrayal—his mother’s death when he was young, a strained relationship with his father, and a failed romance that left him terrified of love. Though Ash is optimistic about his future, he’s lost in the chaos of his career and personal demons, unable to move forward from his painful past. When Seraphina attends one of ANTARES‘s concerts at her university, she is instantly captivated by Ash’s raw talent and magnetic presence. But when she witnesses him misbehaving with a fan backstage, she confronts him, shocking him with her boldness and sparking an unexpected connection. As they share an intimate, fleeting moment—hands brushing and a shared sense of longing—their lives are thrown into a whirlwind neither expected. While Ash is drawn to Seraphina’s authenticity, she struggles with her insecurities and fear of being rejected for who she is. Both are haunted by their pasts—Ash by a tumultuous childhood and the remnants of a broken heart, and Seraphina by the sacrifices she’s made and the question of whether she is enough to be loved. As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, they must confront their inner demons, their fears of vulnerability, and the possibility that love might be the key to healing the wounds they’ve carried for so long. In a world that often feels too big for both of them, can Seraphina and Ash find solace in each other’s arms? Or will their pasts keep them from ever truly finding the love they both desperately need?

Love from the ashes

Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother. Also, while he left his life full of dead bodies behind, did that life really let him go? From the ashes, will it love or... ? _ _ _ Two lovers who still love each other even with scars left behind by past events. They narrowly miss a chance to meet again and rekindle the lost spark, with him left with an empty heart, and her with her pain renewed, only buried because of the sun of her life, her son, their son… that he knew nothing about. They each continue with their own life in their own way. Their paths even almost become parallel to each other, almost taking the opposite direction with new commitments. But fate be damned, even if it now seems to push them toward each other. From the ashes, their love shall blaze anew. Or maybe not. Find the answer yourself. ___ First draft of characters image on my discord, a channel for fans to get together: https://discord.com/invite/C86EJvCJdd Comment and review, don't forget.

By Blood and Ashes

In the heart of the empire, House Velcraven stood as a legend of power, feared for their dark blood magic and ruthless might. Their name was synonymous with strength, their red eyes a mark of nobility, and their rituals a gateway to unearthly force. At the center of their bloodline was Katherine, the youngest heir, born under a prophecy that declared her the future of her house. Her birth was marked by tragedy: her mother perished in childbirth, a sign of strength according to Velcraven tradition, for to kill in birth was to claim dominion. Yet this triumph was short-lived. When Katherine completed her Rite of Passage—drinking the blood of her ancestors—she gained the power of twenty men, but at a price: her very life would now depend on the blood she drained from others. No longer could she live in peace; she must feed or succumb to death. But the day of her ascension brought more than just power. She began seeing visions—cryptic whispers from the past, a woman shrouded in shadows, who seemed to be her long-dead ancestor. The woman shows her a vision of destruction, and of a war that would tear her house apart. Before Katherine could warn her family, the great houses of the empire, in league with the emperor himself, set their treacherous scheme in motion. Stormhold, the Velcraven ancestral castle, was engulfed in flames. Her father, seeing her gift as a sign of ancient power, managed to send Katherine away in secret, safeguarding the last hope of the Velcraven bloodline. But her family stayed behind to face the slaughter, their names lost to the ravages of war. Alone in a foreign land, Katherine must learn to survive, to feed, and to rebuild her house to its former glory. The blood of her ancestors courses through her veins, guiding her path as she seeks vengeance against the cowardly houses that betrayed her—and the emperor who plotted her house’s downfall. With visions haunting her every step and the weight of her lineage upon her shoulders, Katherine will carve her way through a world that knows nothing of House Velcraven and everything of its wrath.
