"I understand. You heard the place you loved was in trouble, so you came back, but I don't-I just-why didn't you take me?" Here it was, at last. Catharsis, or something close to it. "I would have hunted them down with you, Philza, the people who did that to your town. I would have given you your vengeance on a silver platter. I would have given you the world." Philza didn't look guilty. He just looked tired. "I didn't hunt them down, though." // Or, that fic where Techno and Phil are old immortals, and Tommy and Wilbur are decidedly... not. Angst ensues. //

Grad school is hard... like, "I'd kill a man to pass" hard. Considering my extra credit assignments though, I might have to. I guess that's what I get for picking a school that's low-key run by one of the city's top super villains. Oh well...

Murderer. Tyrant. Psychopath. Princess Helen murdered her twin sister at the age of two and dragged her corpse around the palace. Now she is forever labeled as the insane sister of the handsome prince, a disgrace to the family and the kingdom. She is constantly shunned and feared for something she doesn't remember doing. She was imprisoned for her whole life, never to have seen her family. After her mother is assassinated, she is set free to a hostile world in which she is seen as a monster. But Helen doesn't have time to clear her name. She has a family to console, a kingdom to take care of, and a truth to discover. TRIGGER WARNING: main character's backstory is very dark (murder), there is more murder in the story. Descriptions of violence and alcohol, some verbal abuse. No descriptions of gore, no sexual implications. No cussing. Generally readable for 13+ because the author is thirteen herself. If you've read Divergent or The Hunger Games, you can read this. This is a first draft. Started: No idea. Before Nov 9, 2020. Cover by the amazing Anonymous_Ghostie on 6/8/2021

Edited by @KelseyDragon17 Anna lives in a world where by the time they turn eighteen, every man and woman must have a beast bond. Those of them left unbonded are cast out of the city, deemed violent and insane; for if even a rat will not lower itself to bond with you, you must be the lowest of the low. Anna has lived a simple, easy life as the part of one of the most powerful families in the land. Each member of her family had bonded mighty rare beasts, a sign of great power. It boosted them through society's ranks. Her father had bonded with one of the last of the unicorns. Her brother, a manticore. Her mother, a great eagle. Even her adopted sister bonded with a lion. But as her eighteenth birthday approaches, and with no beast having choose her, she must make a choice. Stay, and bring shame upon her and her family... Or leave the city on her own terms. Striking out across the Ashlands, Anna will discover an adventure she wasn't looking for, and a prophesy she has stumbled into the middle of. Can she bring two species who once slaughtered each other together to save themselves? Can she win this battle? Or the ones ahead? Highest Ranking #7 in Fantasy Featured August 18th

In small town Hendersonville, North Carolina, there's a time and a place for women to open their mouths. Lydia Grace Abney doesn't care to wait on that time or that place. She walks through life without any shoes on, dirt on her skin, and wind-blown hair. Some might say she gets her classless qualities from being raised with all boys. Others say the devil is doing work in her life and holding her tongue hostage. But Lydia doesn't see anything wrong with her inability to keep her mouth shut. Especially when it comes to the ever-growing racism flooding her small, southern town. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to stand up for what she believes is right-and this particular act catches the eye of someone rather unexpected.
