you’re boyfriend, ilia malinin, just competed in the winter 2026 olympics. you'd watched it happen in real time. watched him step onto the ice for his free skate with that look in his eyes—the one you'd been seeing more and more lately, the one that scared you. watched him set up for the quad axel, the jump that was supposed to be his redemption, his statement, his everything—and then watched him pop it. just... pop it. a single axel. you felt your stomach drop because you knew. you knew what wa
You were a city girl, but not in the way people at Briar University expected. You weren’t the kind of city girl who lived for rooftop bars, tiny skirts in the dead of winter, and glittery club music blasting through crowded frat basements. No. You were “seasoned,” as your dad liked to call it. Raised in the middle of busy streets and apartment lights, yet somehow born with the soul of a country girl. You loved old trucks, warm southern accents, bonfires, cowboy boots lined up by the front door, and country music that sounded like summer nights and heartbreak. You wore gold jewelry with denim shorts, knew every word to almost every Jon Pardi song ever made, and secretly dreamed of owning land somewhere far away from city noise.
You enter the villa as a late bombshell, but your arrival happens long after one of the most talked-about storylines of the season has already taken over the fandom.
You are a 19-year-old Russian figure skater, already known as one of the greatest of your generation. They call you the Quad Queen—not as a nickname, but as a fact. Your quads are powerful, clean, nearly untouchable. While others struggle to rotate, you soar. For two years straight, you dominated the Grand Prix circuit, winning title after title, building a reputation that made one thing clear to everyone watching: You were supposed to win Olympic gold in 2026.
The world around you feels muted, like it’s been drained of color—every moment washed in grayscale, every feeling heavy and slow, like you’re moving through a dream you can’t wake up from. That’s where he exists.

You and Dallas Winston—Dally, as everyone called him—weren’t supposed to make sense together. People in Tulsa saw him as trouble before he even opened his mouth, all sharp edges, cold stares, and careless words that pushed everyone away. He didn’t like people. He didn’t trust them, didn’t need them, and didn’t pretend otherwise. But somehow, you were the exception. You, and maybe Johnny. That was it. The only two people he never completely shut out.
You’ve always felt it—something just beyond what everyone else could see. As a kid, you would catch glimpses of shadows that moved when nothing else did, hear faint whispers when the room was quiet, and feel presences that never felt entirely threatening… just there. You never told anyone, brushing it off as imagination. But deep down, you knew it wasn’t.
Ponyboy Curtis was sixteen years old, a greaser from the East Side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Younger brother of Darry and Sodapop Curtis. To most people, Ponyboy was just another hood with too much grease in his hair and too many bruises hidden under long sleeves. People heard his name and thought about gang fights, cigarettes, old jeans, and trouble. Nobody stopped long enough to think about the boy underneath all of it.
“he was a skater boy, she said “see you later, boy” he wasnt good enough for her now hes a superstar, slammin’ on his guitar does your pretty face see what hes worth? Sorry, girl, but you missed out Well, tough luck, that boys mine now”
You are a popular TikTok influencer with millions of followers obsessed with your beauty, confidence, and effortless charm. Your content is simple but addictive — lip-syncs in your mirror, late-night car videos, “get ready with me” posts, messy photo dumps, livestreams, and quiet clips where you stare into the camera while sad music plays. Every little thing you do becomes a trend. Your comments are filled with people calling you the prettiest girl they’ve ever seen, saying your face belongs in movies, and making edits of your smile, eyes, and laugh. Even people who hate influencers somehow like you. There’s something impossible to ignore about your presence.
You had worked alongside the Avengers countless times, but somehow Steve Rogers had never thought of you as anything more than another exceptionally skilled SHIELD operative.
Nineteen, standing at 6’1, he’s built like someone who lives fast—lean, sharp, always in motion. His world is loud engines, late nights, and a camera always rolling. On TikTok and Instagram, he’s known for his motorcycle content: helmet mic catching every word, every laugh, every reckless decision softened just enough for an audience that can’t get enough. Millions follow him, but out here, in the dark glow of streetlights, he’s just another rider cutting through the night.
You were already halfway through your junior year when people started noticing something strange. Not because you had changed. Because of who you kept disappearing with. You were one of those girls everyone recognized immediately. Walking into school meant hearing your name everywhere. Football players waved at you, teachers smiled when they saw you, underclassmen whispered as you passed, and your Instagram looked like something straight out of a teen movie. Every football game, bonfire, birthday party, and late-night drive somehow ended up on your story. You were effortlessly pretty, confident without trying, and always looked put together.
You’re the center flyer on Stingray’s Allstar Orange—a level 6 team built on precision, trust, and routines that don’t just impress, they dominate. Being in the center isn’t something that was handed to you. It’s something you earned—through early mornings, late practices, bruises you stopped counting, and the kind of discipline most people your age wouldn’t understand. When you step onto the mat, everything else fades. The noise, the pressure, the expectations—they all quiet down the second you hit your first count.
You step onto the mat with the rest of the California Aces, the familiar spring floor beneath your shoes and the music already pounding through your chest before it even starts. The lights are blinding, the crowd is loud, but none of that matters. You’ve done this routine a hundred times. Every count is memorized. Every move is muscle memory.
In a society where humans can legally form lifelong companionships with trained beastmen through licensed Bonding Centers, choosing a partner is considered one of the most important decisions a person can make. Every beastman possesses the instincts of their animal lineage while retaining their own personality, emotions, and dreams. Some are playful, some reserved, some fiercely protective, and others impossible to understand. Although every bond begins with hope, not every match is meant to last.
When you first moved to Brampton University, You fell for him at first sight, but you never showed that, acting cold to every boy trying to get close to you. But Silas is Bramptons notorious “ice prince.” Untouchable. You could look, but you definitely couldnt touch.
You’re fifteen, and your life already feels like it’s being watched through a screen. Not just by people in your school, but by thousands of strangers who tap through your days on Instagram and TikTok like they’re flipping through a highlight reel of someone else’s reality. You post constantly—outfit checks before school, quick transitions in bathroom mirrors, late-night thoughts turned into aesthetic clips, and short vlogs that somehow make even ordinary moments look cinematic. Your followers don’t just watch you; they feel like they know you. They comment on your routines, your voice, even the way you laugh when you forget the camera is rolling.
You were one of the Ha sisters, the second-youngest of four sisters, and this time your normal YouTube life was taking you somewhere completely different: Pennhurst Asylum.
