In 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest is a giant narwhal. The US government assembles an expedition to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist (and narrator within the story) receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition. As the expedition travels south around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, the crew finds the monster after a long search and then attack it, but the ship is damaged with the three main protagonists thrown into the water. They are quickly captured and then meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo. ~ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne and was originally published in 1870. The novel was originally serialized between March 1869 and June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's periodical, the Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation. An illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Sanctuary Fanfiction AU, set in between Season 2 and 3 but set in 2015. All the characters apart from Elizabeth Magnus do not belong to me. To understand what happened in the story watching Sanctuary season 1 is recommended. Helen Magnus finds someone who has been in a stasis chamber for 142 years. How will she cope with the modern world and her surroundings as well as the purpose of the Sanctuary? On semi-hitus because I have no time so it will updated rarely.

She tilts her head slightly to the side. My heart hammering in my chest as her beautiful blue eyes shade over in black. Her tongue slowly running on her bottom lip, "I want you to beg for it, Way." My wolf can hardly contain himself. He's running manic in my head. Salivating. Shuddering. F*ck. "Kole," My voice so much lower than I thought it could be. Control slipping away from me every millisecond. My jaw clenches as I beg, "I'd sincerely enjoy it if you'd f*ck my face." *** Kole is that bad girl you all hate. She's the cheerleader, the ringleader, the queen bee. But more importantly, she's the Alpha's best friend. After being abandoned by her parents, she's been a wrecking ball of trouble and the only person who puts up with her unsurmountable havoc is Wayan. Wayan is just about to ascend into his Alpha title. He's the life of the party--drinking, doing drugs, and sleeping around without a care in the world. With his loyal best friend at his side--Wayan and Kole paint the town RED. Except...something strange is happening. They feel different around each other. Weird different. Almost like something inside them is stirring. That is, until Wayan stumbles across someone that can change their friendship forever. *** The Wolves of Imperium Book #2 (Prequel) (works as standalone too) 18+ themes with drugs and sex ;) You'll get a warning #12 in Werewolf 6/22/2023 #3 in Alpha 6/22/2023 #2 in Wolf 9/16/2023 #1 in Mythical 3/28/2023

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------
