ONC 2025 SHORT-LISTER!!

The sun burns too hot outside. And inside her house, the heat isn't the worst thing. Her mother's words hit just as hard, reminding her that she's a disappointment. School isn't much better. No one notices when she's there, no one cares when she's gone. She's background noise, too exhausted to try anymore. 

And then the puddle appears. It shouldn't be there, not in this drought. When she kneels beside it, her reflection stares back. It blinks. It pulls her in. She thought she would die drowning in. But being alive, dragged into another world isn't the problem. Now she is important to this other world. Now, she is seen. But because she is so valuable, the General wants to use her. And possibly, someone that might want her to stay, for her. 

Portal is a paranormal fantasy adventure filled with sapphic tension, full of action and death, and a love that goes beyond worlds.

Almost ten years have passed since then, but the young woman is still working at her mom's misfortunate ("cursed" as it is secretly called by all family members) coffeeshop that Ava's dad left after the divorce. Usually the "Fathers and Sons" kind of relationship is not simple, especially when we are talking about the Allards: it's not easy for young redhead Ms. Ava to forgive her father or find mutual understanding with mom who believes her daughter should be more prosperous and financially independent at her age. Harvard graduate Bonita Suárez, aka world famous influencer BoB💋tch, is having the time of her life: elaborate cocktail parties, fabulous fashion shows, photo shooting, luxurious balls, elite clubs, global traveling, and aesthetic vlogging, the list could be endless. She's never alone surrounded by her devoted squad, fans, and rich family members. Next month fashionista Bo is launching her own cosmetics line and is about to release her autobiography "Every Shade of Me". She must be very happy, right? However, not everything is so cloudless in her life. What will happen if two different worlds collide?

This world is set in the past. In a time where nothing was impossible, Where dragons fly above our heads. We learned to ride them, and become friends with them. We created artifacts that make our dragos small and then big again when we need them. That's what sets our world into two sides. A side where dragon riders lived and flew on them. And a side where they hated dragons, and the one that rode them. Even though we managed to work in peace, there was no war between us. Only fights that were under control and rules. In the Arena in the city called Aeloria. A city where there were both sides. They mostly ignored each other. But it was hard to get in this city. Mostly it was the people that lived there. And a few outsiders, but that was either the sellers, chosen group of warriors or dragon riders, and lastly the best fighters of the academies that went into the arena. To prove who is stronger and the winner will receive high quality weapons or any other things of their choice. One day the darkness came and war started. Not between us, but with a kingdom that was across the sea. And this battle or war changed everything we knew. I'm Ardyn, I'm on the side where we ride on dragons. And this story can be easy but also hard to understand. But I will still share it. But first we have to start from the beginning. What will this story bring? Will we be able to see the outcome? Let's wait and see. --------------------------------------------- "Get on!" Leora screams at Ardyn. Extending her hand for her to take. "No, I'm not getting there I hate ships." I shook my head and took a step back. Leora sighed and shook her head in mocked amusement. "Are you telling me you are able to fly on a dragon. But you are scared of standing on a ship. Don't make me laugh." "Yes. So what, I'm not getting on." I said angry and she grabbed my hand and pulled me up. (⚠️ Intersex, violation, sex scenes ⚠️) Grammar mistakes, probably bad intimate scenes (I'm bad at writing them.)
