Summary
She hit ‘call’ next to Frank’s name before she could let herself overthink it and reason her way out of it.
“Mel?” Frank answered the phone within the first few rings sounding sleepy and confused, which was fair considering it was four in the morning. With a rush of fondness Mel realized that the fact that he answered at all must mean he had her contact info saved in a way that would cause it to break through his Do Not Disturb settings he switched on at night. Of course he did.
“I—” Mel found that she couldn’t get out more than that, and suddenly she was terrified that Frank would think it was a pocket dial and hang up.
He didn’t though. Of course he didn’t.Or
Mel reaches a breaking point, and Frank is there to catch her.

Summary
Aveline Sorrengail. The one some wished to be, and the one others never wanted to meet.
Trained since childhood, bruised, beaten and bloodied, she always succeeded. Whether that was through strength, or pure anger, no one knew.
She was meant to be a rider, and everyone knew it. To protect her dear sister wouldn't be much of obstacle right? Nor would the marked ones be much of an issue in the quadrant, no matter how much they hated her mother.
She wasn't just going to remove any obstacles in her way. She was going to obliterate them.
DISCLAIMER! I do not own fourth wing, or any of the characters written by the rightful author, Rebecca Yarros, only my own characters. This is just my adaptation of the story.
ALSO - Yes, my story is also on Wattpad, I go by Ivyssstories, I usually update on there first. -

Summary
After five years of being a devout Hunter of Artemis, Thalia Grace is certain that five more will be a breeze. Then what's five more after that? Then ten more, and twenty, and thirty and... how long is eternity again?
Doesn't matter. Thalia is happy where she is; she knows that for certain. Any unreasonable worries or regrets she has, she just needs to bury them deep. That's what she's always done, and it hasn't failed yet. It's how those endless years tick by.
But when Thalia is suddenly thrust into a prophecy ordained quest that forces her away from her hunters, she has nothing left to distract her. Deep rooted desires and ghosts from her past come creeping in to haunt her, and with nowhere to run on her slow trek north, she has no choice but to confront them. The faces she meets along the way only help to complicate things more, but nobody is worse than her stubborn quest companion; a loner demigod with a yearning to open the doors she desperately wants to keep closed.
Maybe Thalia shouldn't worry about any of that stuff, though. After all, she was sent on the quest for a more important reason, and should she fail, there might be a force far more terrifying than her own demons trying to break out...

Summary
Sunoo didn’t plan on becoming a guardian.
He didn’t plan on routines built around grief, or mornings measured in skincare steps and quiet promises, or learning how to hold his life together carefully enough that a six year old could feel safe inside it. After his sister’s death, survival stopped being about want and became about timing, control, and showing up anyway.
Riki didn’t plan on standing out.
As the only alpha teaching first grade, he lives under constant scrutiny, restrained and watchful, aware that one wrong move could cost him everything. He believes in structure, patience, and holding space without claiming it. His classroom is calm on purpose.
Their worlds overlap through Lina.
What begins as wary distance and guarded glances slowly becomes something steadier. Lina starts to laugh again. To ask questions. To trust the space she’s in. Both men are forced to reckon with what it means to care without control, to protect without possession, and to choose gentleness shaped by instinct.
This is not a story about rushing into love.
It is a story about restraint. About grief that does not move on a schedule. About bodies that demand things the heart is not ready for.
