Oliver once dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, drawn to the ocean's secrets and the creatures no one else understood. But at nineteen, he's adrift: dragged down by anxiety and a past that refuses to stay under currents. And when it does quiet, it pulls him under. When the weight of life becomes too much, Oliver retreats inward, regressing into a state he's kept hidden for years. But when his parents discover this, on top of him dropping out of college, they send him to Havenridge, hoping it will 'fix' him and bring back the son they thought they knew. Tobias, a former soldier, lost his purpose the day injury forced him out of service. At Havenridge, he now devotes himself to guiding others who've lost their way, even as his own past continues to haunt him. When he meets Oliver, both are challenged to confront the parts of themselves they've kept hidden. For Oliver, it means facing the regression he's long buried. For Tobias, it means finding healing in becoming someone else's safe place. After all, what better advice is there to follow than your own? // It took Tobias a moment to return Oliver's hug. To let his arms fold around the teenager, like two hooks of an anchor finding the ocean floor. It felt unexpectedly right, how he could cast his anchor into a boy who seemed adrift himself. \\ __To Pacify the Storm is a raw, delicate exploration of trauma, healing, and the spaces where vulnerability and strength intertwine. ⚠️ Ongoing: It's still a work in progress; imperfect and evolving, so it may take a little patience to sink into. I intend to rewrite it once its finished, so stay tuned!

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Jazz Red has had a life full of love; his parents taught him how to value himself, his siblings taught him how to stand up for what he believed in, and his family has taught him what it means to matter to people. He has people in his corner, there for him and ready to have his back. He knows that there are people who are less lucky than him-- with unaccepting parents and cruel siblings and a harsh past. He knows that when things go wrong, sometimes people are alone. Sometimes they fall apart, and there's no one else there to catch their shattered pieces. But he isn't one of them. He has friends and family that love him. So why does he want more? Why does he-- even with all the joy his family gives him-- want a different type of love? He feels selfish, undeserving. Why did he have to feel so bad about being alone when he was surrounded by people who appreciated him? Why did he have to want, why did desire never leave him alone? Well, he finds out when he meets Castor Rex, a quiet and extremely interesting football player, and that empty part in Jazz's heart feels a little bit bigger when he starts to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** Red's Series #4. Crossover to @whoscountinganyways User Series. Can be read as a stand alone.

Danae has lived for well over two thousand years and she is tired of it, but unable to die. She has withdrawn from most magical creatures, including other witches, as she has seen far too many acts of selfishness and greed. The exceptions are the dragon Rikus and phoenix Zeal, who she counts as family, as well as the few friends who visit on occasion. And, of course, the pack of wolf-shifters located near the cave she calls home, who she's unable to avoid due to recurring conflicts. As all members of his pack, Aidric has grown up hearing the stories of the cruel treatment the pack has suffered at the hands of the Witch of the Mountain. As such, there's no doubt in his mind she is the one responsible for the disappearance of children from the pack. But when he goes to confront her, his opinion of her takes a drastic change. Having lived for so long and knowing she cannot die, Danae is determined to reject the Alpha of the wolf pack when it turns out he is her mate. Aidric, however, is equally determined to win her over and asking her to help find the missing children is a perfect way to keep her close. ----- Mature rating due to: explicit scenes, mentions of suicide attempts, thoughts of wanting to die, (magical) violence ----- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

Ryder is a werewolf, a severely depressed one at that. When he was 15 years old, he stumbled into his home only to find his entire family brutally slaughtered, leaving him completely and utterly alone. Without the slightest clue as to why his family was so suddenly killed, and with no one to go to, he was left roaming the wilderness for seven long years. All the while, he's been plagued by nightmares, grief, and loneliness. Now, at age 22, Ryder gets injured by supernatural hunters, and is left believing that it was finally his turn to die. Though instead, he's surprised to find out that a vampiric family of five had rescued him, and they seem very intent on nursing him back to complete health. However, Ryder is far more damaged than what meets the eye, and although Ryder tries to hide his pain from the vampires, the Sire of that vampiric family, Elric, begins to notice. After finding out about Ryder's past, Elric decides to make it his mission to heal the werewolf both physically and emotionally, to give him a home and a family again. Though over the many nights and days of Elric comforting the werewolf, and Ryder becoming attached to the vampire and his family, the two realize they're forming feelings for each other that they soon can't deny. How will it all play out? (Story was written between 2015-2016 and is discontinued)

I'm a ghost. Or at least I think I'm a ghost. No one can see me and I've been wandering the world aimlessly for years. I don't remember a time I wasn't a ghost. One day I didn't exist and the next I did. For the past 5 years though I've been following a team of supernatural investigators that are working to bring down a trafficking ring. Why? Well humans are boring for one. Secondly these men are captivating. Not only are they sexy as sin but I feel drawn to them in a way I've never felt drawn to anyone else. So for the past 5 years I've tagged along and pretended to be one of them, dreaming of what would happen if I was real. What happens when a magical assault pops me out of the veil and into the real world? Chaos. And hopefully chocolate, that stuff looks amazing. ***All of the characters are my own in this story. The world building is also entirely my own.*** *** Cover made by notsodumbolivia*** The starting storyline and the summary of this book is based off of Kristy Cunning's Four Psychos as well as Raven Kennedy's Signs of Cupidity. The overall story line and the individual characters are different but there will be similarities between the female protagonists starting points and goals.

Just coming home from his time in Afghanistan, Royal Marine Max Waters is surprised to find his partner with another man. Now, forced to uproot himself, Max finds himself in a little town where there seems to be an abundance of wolves in the woods. Not to mention the gorgeous Kyle River - who's name seems more than a little ironic. Credit to @Smxle_Laser for the new cover, thank you so much

[COMPLETED] Falling in love was the last thing that passed across Daelan's mind. He was too busy with the self-loathing and pity party he had going on, but rightfully so. He had been in a prison of his own mind since he had gotten the diagnosis, seven months ago. Stage four Leukemia. He had just started his life, he was on the fast track to his future. College, art classes, parties, and cute boys. But that was all ripped away from him when he nosedived into the sidewalk outside of a Denny's. Cancer. It overtook his life, his plans, his dreams. That is until he was given a roommate. Room 306 now had two occupants. Daelan, and Theo. Theo came in like a storm. Loud and bright. The last thing Daelan expected was to fall for the guy he was supposed to be dying next to. ------------------------------------------------- There is a playlist on Spotify for this, it's literally called Fall Risk, and it has the cover on it.

COMPLETED (BOOK 5) *Also a stand-alone book!* Jacob had been shy his entire life. He was reserved, had an introverted soul, and struggled to communicate with even those closest to him. Jacob had a deep secret, which made him feel alone and scared, and he considered giving up his battle, until his secret wasn't as private as he once thought. In this twisting story full of mind tugging plots and surprising turns, life as Jacob knew it would all change because of one single stranger. "I want him so bad," Hunter grumbled and longingly stared at his mate from across the room. "Just relax Alpha," his friend whispered so nobody could hear. "He can't know yet." "I know." Hunter's feelings were growing stronger with each passing day for his fellow classmate, Jacob Jones.

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips. His hands gently gripped my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His quicksilver eyes were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a few kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places. I glanced back at Leo. His gaze was still as intense as it was before. He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy. Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding...the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him, but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that you have to live in the present, as you may not have a future.
