Since ancient times, on January 13th of every year, a young human is the Chosen One - descending down sheer endless stairs into the cave where the demons live. The Seven Sins. This year, you have been chosen, and you leave behind your family and all of human kind to once more protect the world from the wrath of the evil beneath. Noone has ever been back from the darkness, and knowledge is limited. Thus, I'm sure you will be surprised by what you find.

The ocean was an unforgiving force that took as it pleased and gave little back. Astrid knew that to be a fact. After the tragedy of her mother's death, she watched her father's sanity collapse as he was driven to prove that it was more than just a boating accident. Unlike him, she stayed well away from the water's edge and out of its grasp, immersed in the sorrow of her loss. But what little the ocean did give back, a man of myth with the tail of a fish, could reveal more about the secrets to a harrowing conspiracy brewing below the surface.

The story of two hobbits- Lily and Frodo finding unexpected love in the beautiful Shire. The story has a few twists and isn't the usual *predictable* love story. This Tale includes the various tricks and troubles that Merry and Pippin find themselves in and problems that come with the new found love.This story is to be enjoyed by all Lord of The Rings fans!

A young woman whose only alias at first is Ayamei finds her way into association with the Shinsengumi. Her full name and origin unknown, she lends her aid to the Shinsengumi in hopes that they will accept her in due time. ((Note: Ayamei P.O.V. and Normal P.O.V. mean the same thing. Some chapters were written with a long time gap between them so I forgot which I used. Both indicate that the story is currently being told in my OC's (Ayamei's) Point Of View (P.O.V.). If I don't indicate the P.O.V. at the beginning of the chapter then it is VERY likely that it's Ayamei's P.O.V. but you can usually pick up on it through the text. ~~FB~~ means flashback, ~~FF~~ mean fast forward.))
