The Man Who Waited in Darkness

In a sea where dreams never die, he plans to out-dream them all..... A man from another world wakes up in the body of Marshall D. Teach, the future Blackbeard, years before the age of the Straw Hats. He remembers the anime, the legends, and how the seas are supposed to unfold. But memory is a tricky compass on the Grand Line. Every choice he 'knows' he should make pushes the world a degree off course, and every shortcut hides a reef. Armed with patience, a crooked grin, and jokes as black as his flag, Teach starts charting a different future—one where knowledge can be a weapon, but never a guarantee. From Whitebeard’s shadow to the Navy’s crosshairs, from back-alley taverns to skies split by conquerors’ wills, he tests how far a second life can bend fate without breaking it. He wants the greatest treasure in the world. He also wants to survive the punchlines destiny keeps setting up. PS: This is TL of a Chinese fanfiction. I claim no ownership of anything.

The Quiet Things We Hide

Hawkins is small, but its secrets are big. Will Byers has always kept to himself — sketching in quiet corners, surviving on routine, and hiding from the chaos that seems to follow him no matter where he goes. Mike Wheeler has his own battles: trying to fit in, trying to be brave, trying to keep himself together when everything feels like it’s spiraling. When fate (or recklessness) throws them together, they discover something neither expected: someone who sees them, someone who matters. But the quiet comfort of connection doesn’t last long. A night out spirals into tragedy. Chrissy Cunningham, a friend, is found dead, and Eddie Munson — a boy who’s always been different — is accused. The town turns on him. Loyalties are tested. Friendships are stretched to breaking. And the lines between right and wrong blur with every step through the dark streets and shadowed woods of Hawkins. As Hopper hunts for the truth, as Jason and his friends chase vengeance, and as Max joins the hunt to protect those she cares about, Will and Mike find themselves not only confronting danger but their own feelings, discovering what it truly means to trust someone — and to be brave enough to love, even in fear. The Quiet Things We Hide is a tense, cinematic, small-town drama about friendship, first love, moral grey areas, and the costs of loyalty when everything you care about is on the line.
