Our Youth: The Line We Shouldn't Cross

ReySol_bee19
She had just let out a breath when an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind. Her body stiffened. “Eun Gyol, what—” The words died in her throat the moment she turned around. Not Eun Gyol. Kang Ara stood far too close in front of her, her gaze calm, almost lazy, like none of this was unusual at all. And before Seorin could even react— A brief kiss landed on her cheek. Seorin immediately shoved Ara’s shoulder hard. “We’re at school.” Ara barely moved. “Someone might see us.” “In that case…” Ara loosened her hold for a moment, then walked over to the storage room door and turned the knob until a soft click echoed through the room. The space suddenly felt quieter. Ara glanced back at her, leaning against the door. “Now no one knows we’re in here.” Seorin’s chest tightened instantly. She turned her face away, irritated by how quickly her body reacted to one simple sentence. Ara stepped closer without any rush. Her gaze remained calm—too certain—like she already knew Seorin had never really been able to refuse her. And as always, Ara was right. Seorin’s waist was pulled back against her, leaving barely any space between them. “You were jealous earlier.” Seorin shook her head quickly. One of Ara’s brows lifted slightly. “You were obviously jealous.” Seorin kept shaking her head, even as her gaze drifted to the side. The next second, Ara’s lips brushed against hers—briefly, almost too soft to even count as a kiss. Seorin’s breathing immediately fell apart. Ara pulled back just enough to look straight into her eyes. “You were jealous.” This time, Seorin gave a small nod. And that was a huge mistake. Because Ara didn’t pull away again. This kiss lasted longer. Deeper. Slow enough to leave Seorin’s breathing completely unsteady. Her back hit the cold metal shelves behind her, while her fingers unconsciously tightened around the edge of Ara’s uniform.

Astral Sea: Tower of God

The Tower has rules for Regulars. Warnings for Irregulars. But it has a different protocol for Ras. It lets him pass. It smooths the path. It reduces resistance. Not out of favor— But out of caution. The Tower has only one priority: Keep the beast asleep. Ras entered alongside Baam—an attached anomaly, a second signature the system cannot file cleanly. Baam is the miracle the Tower needs alive. Ras is the variable it wants buried beneath routine. Behind tests. Behind corridors that lead nowhere. Behind paperwork disguised as destiny. Baam climbs toward hope. Ras is what walks beside him. And every time Baam chooses him—every time he treats the monster like a person—the Tower’s restraints loosen. FUG calls Ras an error. Rankers sense him and step aside. Guides don’t chart his path—they monitor him like a spreading fault in the system. Because if Ras ever wakes fully, it won’t be a battle. It will be a confession. The Tower admitting—too late—that it was never designed to contain what entered with the boy. And the cruelest truth? Ras isn’t furious. He isn’t unstable. He isn’t rebelling. He is patient. He is disciplined. He is learning how to fit inside a cage built for lesser things. Which means when he finally stops sleeping— It will not be by accident. It will be by choice. ⸻ Author Note Quick note: this is a fanfic sandbox. I’m experimenting with a hybrid world ( SIU + my own lore). I’m not hiring editors/illustrators for this project.

Trapped in a Novel as the D-Class Alpha I Hated Most

Neon is a broke high school student whose only escape is reading Omegaverse novels. He’s a loyal reader—he devours every single Omegaverse story he can get his hands on. His favorite right now? Angel in Hell, a bestselling novel he loves with all his heart. Neon adores everything about it… except one thing: Zyren Kael. A D-class Alpha. The villain. The nightmare of the whole book. Villains are meant to be hated, but Zyren is on another level—cruel, stupid, obsessive, and always ruining the precious omega Angel’s life. Neon curses him every time he appears on the page. But the night he finishes the novel, Neon dies in an accident. And when he opens his eyes again… he’s not in his tiny cheap apartment. He’s lying in a luxurious bedroom inside an expensive mansion— reborn as Zyren Kael, the villain he hates the most. Neon swears he will NOT follow the villain’s tragic path. He refuses to be cruel. He refuses to follow the book’s script. He plans to live quietly, avoid trouble, marry a side-character beta, and spend his days peacefully. But the novel itself refuses to follow its own plot. So why— Why are all the male leads obsessed with him? Why is the main character suddenly in love with him? Why is everyone chasing after him? Why does the world treat him like he’s the true protagonist? He was supposed to be the villain. So why does he feel like the main character instead? What on earth is happening to this story…?

The New World Wizard (1600s Harry Potter)

In the year 1609, the wizarding world stands on the brink of fire and reinvention. The Statute of Secrecy is still decades away. Witch hunts rage across Europe. Ancient goblin clans sharpen their axes, and the New World beckons with both promise and peril. Nicholas, a young man from modern-day Texas, never expected to wake up in the body of a thirteen-year-old orphan at the dawn of Early Modern Hogwarts. Armed with a Southern sense of honor, stubborn practicality, and twenty-first-century knowledge he can never fully reveal, he must navigate a dangerous era where magic is raw, politics are brutal, and survival demands more than wandwork. Thrust into a Hogwarts still steeped in Renaissance ambition and old-world grudges, Nicholas quickly learns that power, loyalty, and blood run deeper than any history book ever taught. When goblin clans launch a bold assault on Hogsmeade, he makes a fateful choice: stand and fight with everything he has, broom, ring, and raw determination. As war brews, old alliances fracture, and the wizarding world hurtles toward an uncertain future, Nicholas must decide how much of his modern values and American spirit, he’s willing to risk in a time that has never known either. Can one boy from another era change the course of magical history… or will the past consume him first? Howdy, y'all. I am testing the waters with this new fanfiction. English is my native language and if there is any propaganda, its that of 'Merica. This is not a translation or chinese propaganda. This fanfiction in Harry Potter is pure HP world, at least for now. If there is a good enough response, I will commit time each week to mass dropping chapters, as I as a reader prefer a lot of chapters at once to read instead of one every couple of days. Currently at ~200k words. Please review and tell me what is good and isn't, so I can improve. AI is used to fill in gaps after I have written out the chapter and have put into an engine to make sure I do not overlook details. I edit all paragraphs and chapters prior to publishing to ensure you cannot tell whether it is AI or me. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy the story that is building, something I am excited to write as it truly is unique in its setting, and more.
