I could lie. I could say the hardest thing of all was dealing with the pain & the darkness without any alcohol. To do that would be to destroy the last remnant of him. Of what we had. Of what we were. Of what I destroyed. Of what I lost. ∞ Venus can count ten things in her life to get in order, now being alone & baring a child.

Ra's is a constant thorn in her side, with plans involving Venus that Talia would kill to prevent. More enemies start to make the connection between DA Meadow, Skylar Salvore & Sugar Skull.

Yet, never been more protected when someone who still loves her with every sinful fibre of his heart stands guard to die for her. Broken, Jason will protect his girl & their baby, even if he thinks he hates her.

There was little known about Pierce Holmes. Even his closest friends at Hogwarts knew little about him and that's the way he wanted to keep it. The known facts about the Ravenclaw's home life was his mother was a writer and his father wasn't in the picture much. While his father didn't play a big role in his life, Pierce refused to keep his mother's maiden name. While his home life seemed dysfunctional, Pierce was a rather happy student at Hogwarts. He enjoyed his classes and was friendly to other students. One student in particular caught his eye from the beginning, but not for her looks, but her intelligence. He admired Hermione Granger, because she wasn't afraid to be smart unlike some girls he came across in school, who enjoyed pretending they were scatterbrained. He's thought about the conversations he would like to have with her, but can't bring himself to talk to her. But all that changes when fourth year arrives and the Tri-Wizard Tournament comes to Hogwarts. Pierce finds himself with no choice but to talk to the Gryffindor girl. However, things don't go according to plan, especially when Sherlock Holmes is involved in the scenario.

Ħɵω Ʈɵ Ħαʋε Д ĦεαяϮɓεαϮ [currently editing extensively!] Once I knew only darkness and stillness my life was without past or future but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living. That emptiness I knew, was slowly being filled with sweet words of nothing. What is a heartbeat? A mere beat in your chest as to keep your body pumping its blood. There is nothing wrong with Sana's heart. It pumps perfectly, never once missing its beat and always keeping at a constant rhythm. Sana is never surprised, never feels enough to make her heart even miss the smallest amount of a skip in beats. She doesn't feel. She doesn't love. She can't know what it's like to have her heart beat faster for a friend let alone a lover. For a heart to never go out of its constant thump is worse than not having a heartbeat at all. So what's the one thing Sana wants in this world? How to have a heartbeat maybe? (Sequel to "How to be Heartless" open external link to get to chapter one of the prequel)

Ħɵω Ʈɵ ɮϵ ĦεαяϮհϵςς Theoretically, Itadori Sana should have been an amazing ninja. Top in her class, photographic memory, the ability to disassociate due to sheer embarrassment. If being a shinobi was all about theory, Sana was basically a sannin. But one can't be a theoretical ninja. Unfortunately, apparently, you actually have to be able to do a Jutsu well. Coming from a noble family, failure isn't an option, but Sana was a genius. How hard should it be to become a ninja without the ability of, well, talent? How hard is it for the girl who went through her entire life lying to her rich, judgmental, high-class family about her talents, to pass one exam? Pretty hard. So, Sana must convince the most popular guy in her class for help to pass this exam and save her ass from being disowned. The only problem is, he thinks being 'edgy' is a personality trait and Sana can't stand him. Witness this humorous take on a socially awkward bitch, paired up with an orange PAP Smear, an embarrassing horny fangirl, and a douche-ninja.

Grace Harcourt is a bachelorette, and a very esteemed one at that; the only issue is, she seems to have trouble with doing what she is told, and also, holding her tongue.
