Six years after walking out of rehab, Carter West is still struggling to find his footing. Jobless, restless, and constantly shadowed by the fear of relapse, he feels the pull of old demons creeping closer with every rejection and unanswered call. Just when the darkness threatens to consume him again, he sees her—Aishwariya Joshi—the girl he met all those years ago on the rehab rooftop. Back then, she was just a mystery with sad eyes and a gentle voice, visiting her uncle. They never exchanged names, only quiet words and fleeting comfort. Now, she's back, and everything has changed. Aishwariya is beautiful, poised, and trapped in a life she didn't choose—engaged to a manipulative man and suffocated by her conservative family's expectations. She has forgotten who she is. Forgotten how to live. But Carter remembers the spark he once saw in her, and she sees the pain he tries so hard to hide. Drawn to each other by something they can't explain, Carter and Aishwariya begin to rediscover themselves through stolen moments, fragile truths, and the belief that even the most broken people can find a way back to life. Together, they just might become whole again. Welcome to the second book in the With You series. While this is a standalone story that can be read on its own, I highly recommend reading To Start Over first. That's where Carter West's journey truly begins—his struggles, his past, and the relationships that shaped him. Several characters from To Start Over will also make their way into this book, adding deeper layers and emotional continuity. This story is about second chances, quiet strength, and the unexpected ways people can find each other when they need it most. Dialogues will be changed here from what Olivia and Sebastian have talked with Carter because it's from Carter's POV if you want to read Olivia and Sebastian's POV, you could read To Start Over

Douluo Dalu 2: Cultivating as a Fox until 100,000 Years

Zhen Len died twice. First, as an ordinary human on Earth named Ryan. Second, as a talented cultivator in Douluo Dalu 3, unable to reach divinity despite all his efforts. When his life fades away amidst a battle against the Abyss forces, he unexpectedly awakens in an unknown forest… but this time, not as a human. Now he is an fire spirit fox, a once-extinct soul beast that was once his martial soul. Without knowing how much time has passed since his death, and unaware that he returned years after Tang San ascended to the divine realm in Douluo Dalu 1, he must now cultivate in an attempt to become a god. However, he still possesses a great advantage: the techniques of the Tang Sect, the techniques of the Body Sect, and his experience as a blacksmith who once crafted a four-word battle armor and mechas. Thus, it is only a matter of time before he gathers enough resources to turn human again and attempt to ascend to divinity. Being reborn as a soul beast is a sentence to centuries and millennia of solitude… but it is also a chance to prepare without rush. Will he be able to overcome time, fate, and his own nature to become human again? In this novel, he will remain a soul beast for a long time until the canon events of Douluo Dalu 2 begin, and I plan for the MC to mate with human women (and possibly, though not certain yet, with other soul beasts) while still being a soul beast. This is an original fanfic.
