Scott Major is a seasoned news reporter, always chasing breaking stories and living life in the fast lane. But after years of relentless deadlines, exhausting late nights, and the pressure of always being "on," burnout finally catches up with him. On a whim, he decides to take the summer off, leaving behind the newsroom chaos for something slower, something peaceful. He rents a small, cozy bungalow on a quiet beach-a place where the sound of crashing waves replaces the endless chatter of newsrooms. At first, his plan is simple: relax, read, and maybe rediscover a bit of himself along the way. But the ocean has other ideas. One morning, while sipping coffee on his porch, Scott watches a group of surfers carve through the waves like they belong to them. They are confident, carefree, and effortlessly in sync with the sea. When one of them-charismatic, sun-kissed, and full of mischief-spots Scott watching, they call out to him. Before he knows it, Scott is pulled into their world: long days on the water, bonfires under the stars, and friendships that feel deeper than any connection he's had in years. The team is more than just a group of surfers; they're a tight-knit family, each with their own stories, struggles, and dreams. And as Scott gets to know them, he starts to wonder-has he spent too much of his life chasing stories instead of living them? But the ocean is unpredictable, and not everything is as easy as it seems. As Scott is drawn further into their world, he must decide: is this just a summer escape, or has he found something worth holding onto?

It's WW2, and Scar Goodtimes' life is falling apart. He's stuck in this bunker with random people, and none of them support his fantasies, or his mental escape. When his best friend Grian falls sick with Tuberculosis, Scar starts reading Alice in Wonderland to his friend to make him better and slowly finds himself falling deeper and deeper into the story, far beyond rescue, and trying to aimlessly rewrite his very existence. HERE IS MY WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE BOOK: THIS BOOK TALKS ABOUT WW2, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, DISASSOCIATION, BOMBS, DEATH, SUICIDE, TUBURCULOSIS, AND MORE. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, DO NOT READ!!!

Art isn't mine Grian is an exceptional news reporter, known for his sharp eye and fearless storytelling. His work takes him across the country-and sometimes the world-uncovering hidden truths, reporting from the heart of major events, and bringing stories to life with his engaging style. Whether investigating corruption, covering breaking news, or capturing the human side of a crisis, he always finds himself in the middle of the action. But when he takes a job in Hermit City, intending to settle into a quieter routine, he quickly realizes that the news never sleeps. As he dives into local stories, his keen instincts lead him to something-or someone-far more intriguing than he ever expected. And in a city where secrets lurk just beneath the surface, being an exceptional journalist might make him a target.

Impulse is a demon. A demon with morals. Weird, huh? He's got one last chance before his soul is destroyed and scattered across the universe. All he has to do is make a deal with a mortal, take their soul, and return to Hades. It's simple, according to his manager, who even remarks that it hopes Impulse gets summoned by a moron. Turns out, that "moron" is the one and only Scar Goodtimes, who just wanted to see what a summoning circle actually did. Grian and Skizz find out, and Impulse gets roped into a deal he knows he can't keep for the sake of his morals and Scar's wellbeing. Everything goes to the Nether from there. === All chapter titles are lyrics from Demons by Imagine Dragons These stories are a collection of somewhat connected oneshots that originated in my Oneshot book. I told the peeps over there that, once I hit more than 3 chapters of any story, I would copy them over to their own book so they didn't clutter the oneshots book. That's what happened with this story: I have too many ideas, so I copied them into this one. Chapter summaries will appear at the beginning of each chapter, along with trigger warnings. Pay attention to those!!! Cross-posted to AO3 (user: JadedSundragon)

Breaking News: Today at Hermit Hospital, a miracle has happened: the first avian in 83 years has been born. It appears to have no avian bloodline, as the last reported anomaly died 61 years ago with no children or living family members. The baby is a Caucasian male, 6.5 pounds, with bright scarlet macaw wings. Government officials are still debating over what to do with the child, and in the meantime, the avian will remain in the hospital until further notice. Updates will be coming soon...

Hermitcraft Coffee Shop AU! Just some tired college students trying to swim through homework, take care of themselves, and maybe fall in love along the way? Etho x Bdubs, because what even is their ship name? Friends → rivals/enemies → friends again → lovers Slow burn, because I physically can't write anything else, and cozy vibes all throughout! (except maybe a splash of drama some places, but it ends cozy I promise) (Not IRL people of course!!! just their minecraft characters but in a real world-ish au.) And here's the old description because I think it's funny enough to keep somewhere at least. So uh- I should be writing another book until I finish one of my other ones huh? Well this was a dare, and if you think I'm going to give up on one of those, then clearly you don't me. So screw it! Etho x Bdubs, Frenemies/Rivals sort of, strangers to crushes to rivals to who even knows?! Obv no smut, and a Coffee shop AU because I'm a sucker for those and it's about time I write one of 'em. Welcome to hell! We have confusing schedules, undefined background relationships, and a full assed book with a plot line that's going about 100 pages slower than it was supposed to! Enjoy! (this is a threat! /j)

Scar is quite new to the highschool, but on the other hand, Grian has been going to the forsaken school for what feels like eternity. Scar finds himself being taken in with the 'popular crowd' quite quickly, whilst Grian accepts his fate amongst the so called 'commoners' and hiding among one another to get through the day. When Grian catches sight of Scar, everything changes.. As for Scar?.. You just have to see :) Will the friends groups accept eachother? Fights breaking out? Friendships ruined and chances destroyed? Or love blooming like the lilacs and poppies in Spring? (Cover art is mine, yes I drew it and I made it so if you upload the art, please give credits) (I only post on Wattpad so if you see this story anywhere else, IT IS NOT ME UPLOADING THAT) (I will post as I please. Do not pressure me into uploading.)

We live in a world where everyone is supposed to be born human, and is supposed to stay human. So that must mean everything is peaceful, right? Everyone will be happy, and have the perfect life.. right..? Wrong. If you just so happened to not be born like the rest, it's your fault. There are bastards out there that will hurt innocent people, and won't think twice; they certainly don't care about the other persons feelings. The only person who matters is themself. So, that means you can take little children and torture them? Take their blood, experiment on them? Yes, they are just little toys with no emotions, nothing more. Well, how would you like it if one day everything changed? Achievements: (first number is the month; I'm American) 5/8/24 - #22 in EXPERIMENTAU Dsmp x Hermitcraft AU COVER ART NOT MINE! Hope you enjoy :)
