Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it. [Word count: 100,000-150,000 words] Cover designed by Lily Taylor Please read the 'Introduction' for a full list of content/trigger warnings

As the sun begins to fade from existence, five protectors are chosen. Their unique blood type is thought to help the Earth regain its strength. Aryn, a prominent surgeon, is unaware of the fateful gift that flows in her. She carries the same blood type as the chosen ones. Hidden truths start appearing, when a letter is sent from her parents, who abandoned her at a young age. Aryn becomes imprisoned by the black words in the letter, and falls into the memories of the past. While Aryn tries to gather the missing clues, more mysteries emerge. After treating an eccentric patient, he presents Aryn with more questions than answers. Aware of the doctor's hidden identity, Louis sends her upon a journey toward her darkest days and deepest truths. Aryn's journey begins with the gift of a strange and life-altering book. Aptly titled 'Rules of Death', it doesn't stop with the exposure of her own identity. The book holds knowledge and power Aryn can only begin to understand. She then realizes the importance of her task: guarding all the manuscript dares to tell. Envious eyes and inquisitive minds threaten everything she's determined to defend. In order to preserve the power of the protectors, Aryn must carry the secrets of the book to the grave. Will she keep the book's mysteries to herself, or will Aryn's secret become a world undoing ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @NattKuznetsov •Highest Ranks• #6 In Mystery, on 13/10/2020 •Awards• - 1st place winner in the discovery awards - 2nd place winner in the pantheon awards - Honorable Mention- The Shimmer Awards (2020)
