Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by Herman Melville, in which Ishmael narrates the monomaniacal quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on the albino sperm whale Moby Dick, which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee. Although the novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891, its reputation grew immensely during the twentieth century. D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world," and "the greatest book of the sea ever written." Moby-Dick is considered a Great American Novel and an outstanding work of the Romantic period in America and the American Renaissance. "Call me Ishmael" is one of world literature's most famous opening sentences. The product of a year and a half of writing, the book is dedicated to Nathaniel Hawthorne, "in token of my admiration for his genius," and draws on Melville's experience at sea, on his reading in whaling literature, and on literary inspirations such as Shakespeare and the Bible. The detailed and realistic descriptions of whale hunting and of extracting whale oil, as well as life aboard ship among a culturally diverse crew, are mixed with exploration of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God. In addition to narrative prose, Melville uses styles and literary devices ranging from songs, poetry and catalogs to Shakespearean stage directions, soliloquies and asides. The author changed the title at the very last moment in September 1851. The work first appeared as The Whale in London in October 1851, and then under its definitive title Moby-Dick in New York in November.

Harry potter has always been abused by his so called "relatives". What happens when he gets his hogwarts letter and harry requests a certain woman to pick him up? Will that change his whole view of things? Who comes and picks the poor boy up? ( Sorry it's a bad description) Harry potter belongs to J.K Rowling, the only thing i own in this story is the plot. I do not own the characters. Don't come after me if the story is not that good, it is my first time writing and publishing a story. If anything give me suggestions

During the holiday before 6th year, Harry had given up on life. He had just lost his godfather-his only hope for a normal life-and he is back with the Dursleys. The abuse he suffers at their hands just seemed to be getting worse. Followed by his life. Overall, everything was shit and the point of living was next to nothing. Well, that was until a certain Malfoy came along and spiced everything up. "Muggle neighbourhood aye, Potter?" He spoke with disgust "Yeah. What's it to you, Malfoy?" He sneered back. - SEQUEL OUT NOW -> 'The Boy Who Ought To Be Dead- H.P' Editing in progress. A few of the beginning chapters hold incorrect grammar. Trying my best to go through everything. Complete -> LI (51) chapters total. -> Chapters XX (20) and below can be cringe worthy and short. Writing improves at one point. This is a Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter story. Viewer discretion is advised by the author -18+ -> (Mentions of) abuse Self harm/suicide Mental disorders Eating disorders Bullying Death/torture Blood/gore Sexual harassment (mentioned very lightly) This story is now being posted on ao3. @mynameismarylol JK Rowling owns the Harry Potter franchise, not me. © COPYRIGHT (Previously) Ranked NO.1 in - 'baddursleys' as of 13/10/21 'ed' as of 20/10/21 'abusedharrypotter' as of 23/10/21 'summerholidays' as of 01/11/21 'dursleys' as of 08/11/21 'tw' as of 16/01/22 'triggerwarning' as of 24/01/22 'goodmalfoys' as of 17/02/22 'weasleys' as of 03/01/23

| Nominated for 'Best Visual-Audio Fanfiction' In the Fanfiction Awards 2018 | | Beautiful cover by @v-xviii | "Jack I swear, I will run you through with this sword." In which Captin Jack Sparrow's long-lost-daughter 'accidentally' almost kills him several times. Temperance was left on an island with her dying mother, abandoned by her mysterious father, and raised by mermaids. She seeks out her father out of vengeance, vengeance for her long since dead mother. Vengeance for leaving them both on the rock which they called an island. But when she finds herself in the arms of Captin Barbossa, the now standing captain of the Queen Annes Revenge, she must trust either her gut or the long-lost father she longs to meet. And kill. All characters go to the credit of Pirates of the Carribean! I simply own Temperance and my plot. Does not follow any of the movies' plots, but takes places between the fourth and fifth films. Date Started: April 20, 2017 Date Finished:

Merlin botched up a spell he was working on. He decided to make a potion without the help of Giaus. Messing up the pronunciation of one word and a healing potion becomes a truth syrum. Three days of nothing but the truth. Any question he's asked, the truth will come out. "What are you hiding from me?" No matter how hard Merlin tried, he couldn't stop his voice from speaking. "I love you." This story is now complete! I just didn't mark it as such because I am still uploading extras! But the main story is done.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. - Anthony J. D'Angelo Life has never been easy or simple for Ellie. She was born deformed, the outcast of her pack, abused and shunned. She spends her life running from the negativity and the darkness, trying to find her happiness. All she wants is peace and joy, but what is she supposed to do when rejection, sorrow and frustration is all she ever seems to be capable of finding? Maybe not everyone deserves to be happy, but where did she go wrong? What could she have possibly done to deserve such torture? This story is only half edited and kind of a mess in my opinion! There will be plot-holes and mistakes! If you see any feel free to point them out and I'll fix it up during editing. This was my first ever story so it needs some help lol Just a few of my favorite comments: Loved it? It turned into my life!!! Ellie's stab made me feel pain in my chest as well. You weren't kidding when you said the story wasn't that predictable. Honestly, whenever a new twist came, I'd say it was familiar(because the sudden situation Ellie would find herself into is) but it still caught me very much off guard nonetheless. You had a knack for making me invested in one paragraph therefore surprising me in the next. I loved that. the thrill, the suspense, the shock and pain. And because you made it first person pov, the reader could relate or maybe even see themselves in Ellie's life. I am looking forward for the sequel. I'm proud to say i read this book and was here before it became 1M+ reads. 100/10 score👏 you[author] deserve it. This needs to be read by many. - @JRDRRS WHAT. A. PLOT. TWIST. fricken genius - @xsapphira 😭😭😭8 literally cried and sobbed I don't think I have ever done that before in a book its always just silent tears...... This book is truly amazing - @daedalian9 You sure know how to keep someone hooked. It was a crazy ride.- @Inumidun700
