The Boy Who Burned Me

Ariwayn
In a town where legacy is everything, Aiden Hart is the perfect son the mayor’s pride, the football star, and the boy everyone bets on. But when Kieran Monroe returns from juvie with tattoos, shadows in his eyes, and a past no one wants to talk about, Aiden's carefully built world begins to crack. They were never friends. They barely spoke. But now, Kieran is everywhere at school, in Aiden’s thoughts, and lurking behind every unspoken truth. The more Aiden tries to ignore him, the more impossible it becomes. Because Kieran isn’t just a reminder of what the town wants to forget he’s a threat to everything Aiden thought he knew about himself. Secrets simmer, old scars resurface, and one wrong move could destroy everything. In this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers high school romance, reputation is everything—and falling in love might just ruin them both. 2025 Ariwayn. All rights reserved.

Descendants of Gibbous

Damien reveals an ugly truth. His sister and only family, Ahara, leaves the house every midnight whilst he's asleep—a time that he soon discovers is when man-eating beasts named Rouges start hunting for prey. Unable to question her directly, he decides to investigate her and quickly figures that Ahara isn't human but rather, a vampire hero who saves them from beings like herself coming from a world she calls Gibbous—a place where entities like vampires, wizards, and beast shifters alike reside. What’s more, he also learns that the real reason behind his parents' death was the leader of the Rogues, who's rumored to have escaped after Damien’s father almost killed him. A series of fateful events lead to Damien’s long-lost power reawakening in him, and he finds himself with no choice but to return to Gibbous, a strange world where power means survival, and weakness leads to death. As such, Damien enrolls in an academy to train his newfound abilities with one thing in mind... Becoming more powerful. However, he soon discovers that the path to power is one filled with troubles and pain, and he isn’t alone in this lust for more at the academy. It’s a bloody competition against time and formidable opponents, and only those willing to sacrifice their comfort are the ones who can attain it. With a deadly foe lurking in the shadows somewhere and a strong desire to protect his sister, Damein has no choice but to fight. The only way is up, and he is going to be standing at the top of them all, ready to counter any enemy. **************** The hero tier list/ ranking system is the good old S-rank to E-rank tiers, but I added a few more ranks up there for originality—X-rank and the Numen position.

Falling for my Enemy’s Brother

"Look at me," he said, voice barely above a whisper, like he wasn't just asking her to see him—but to choose him. She did. And oh God. The moment her eyes met his, it was like the floor tilted. His gaze wasn't cold anymore. It wasn't guarded or teasing. It was raw. Fierce. Wrecking. Like he saw through every layer she'd tried to hide. She swallowed hard. Her legs trembled. Her heart betrayed her, pounding so hard against her ribs it seemed like it wanted to break free. Why did his eyes soften like that, as if she was delicate glass, and he'd do anything to keep her from shattering? She swore she was going to melt right there. And he didn't even kiss her. Didn't have to. That one look—his fingers brushing against her skin like he owned the right, it was more than any kiss she'd ever had. More dangerous. More intoxicating. Her lips parted, maybe to speak, maybe to breathe, but nothing came out. Nothing could. The tension between them tightened—thick, electric, blinding. If he moved even an inch, it would be over. But he didn't. And that restraint? That maddening, infuriating, goddamn beautiful control made her want him even more. "Let me handle this," he whispered. "You don't have to trust Conor. Just trust me." Her eyes dropped to his lips. They were so close now she could feel the whisper of his breath. Her heart pounded harder, like it wanted to escape. "Please stop doing that," she murmured. For a fleeting second, nothing moved, then he dropped his hand. His brows drew together. "Doing what?" "Touching me," she whispered. "Especially when you're trying to make a point. You did it in the restroom too." "Why do you think I'm doing that?" he asked, voice husky now, softer. Synopsis: At an elite college, falling for the rich, cold son of a bi-llionaire wasn’t part of the plan, especially when his brother is tied to her mother’s mysterious death. But from the moment Merlina steps onto campus, the chemistry is undeniable. He’s detached, arrogant, and everything she should stay away from. Yet no matter how hard she tries, she can’t ignore the pull. She’s here for a degree, but her real mission is uncovering the secrets of her mother’s past at this very school. As sparks fly between her and the guy she should keep her distance from, she’s torn between two things: exposing the truth and protecting her heart from falling for him. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous things get. Anonymous threats, dark secrets, and a guy who’s starting to think her obsession with the past could ruin everything. When the truth finally breaks free, it threatens everything she’s worked for—the truth, her heart, and the fragile bond she shares with him. With everything at risk, she must choose: expose the truth, or hold on to the one person who makes her feel truly alive.
