From barely surviving to building their now-successful fashion boutique, DALVIN, the trio has been through everything together. But life doesn’t always go according to plan.

Something hits her—literally—and she lands in the arms of the most frustratingly attractive guy on campus. From then on, it’s nothing but sparks, sarcasm, and stares that last too long.

Seventeen-year-old Dali Perkins is too smart for her own good and far too sarcastic for anyone else’s comfort. But sarcasm is her armor, her default setting, ever since her world shattered at thirteen when her parents died in a horrific accident. Taken in by their closest friends, the Simmons family, her godparents, Dali now lives in a lively, chaotic household that’s tried its best to soften her rough edges. Fiona and Dave, her foster parents, are warm and well-meaning. Their son Jayden is a goofball three years her junior. And then there’s Raven, the brooding eldest son who left abruptly to live with an uncle shortly after Dali moved in, convinced his presence only made things harder for her. Now Raven’s back. He’s twenty-one, in college, and still quietly magnetic in all the worst ways. Dali isn’t sure how to act around him—or how to suppress the feelings she’s harbored for years. What follows is a short, heartfelt love story between the guarded girl who hides behind wit, and the older boy who left to protect her. With an unexpected dash of humor, miscommunication, and a charming side couple who steal scenes as much as hearts, this is a romance about awkward beginnings, second chances, and the fine line between familiar and something more.

The Librarian – Your favorite villain’s favorite AI. Wants everyone neatly filed under “trope-compliant.” Hates Dave. With reason. What to Expect: Timeline-pruning bureaucrats Reality collapsing under sarcasm Talking pigeons as emotional support weapons Plot armor sold on black markets Heartfelt scenes ruined by fart jokes Fourth-wall demolitions Meta-horror inside abandoned tropes Actual emotional trauma buried under comedy Tags: Satirical Apocalypse | Anti-System | Webnovel Roast | Found Family with Brain Damage | Fourth Wall Abuse | Talking Animals | Meta Fiction | The Plot is Alive and It’s Mad | Existential Glitch Comedy | Weaponized Pacing Errors | Angst with Bonus Pigeon Summary in One Line: "What if the MC said ‘no’ to the plot — and the entire multiverse broke trying to fix him?"

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates.

He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box.
