Amelia Watson is a thunderstorm, and her temper a wildfire. Sherlock Holmes is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, his mind a place very few people can understand. Who'd have thought the two would have anything in common? It isn't easy to capture Sherlock Holmes' attention, so what does Amelia have that caught Sherlock's eye from the start? She always believed herself to be nothing but ordinary, but Sherlock Holmes disagrees.

Elizabeth de Baptiste never stood out much in school, she was a wallflower who blended into the vines that decorated Peril High. Just like all other girls in school she crushed on the school athlete; Jack Isle, the small-town jock star. When Elizabeth one day stumbles into the Mythology section in the Library she finds a book per chance: the Grand Grimoire. Feeling drawn to the odd book she takes it home, finding that it contains spells, spells to make her get noticed by Jack Isle. She could've never prepared herself for the next unfolding of events. She might've just accidentally and jokingly sold her soul to the Devil, literally. And his son is going to collect it. Most disturbingly, everything seems to point to Lucian Black, the school's rumoured bad boy, to be the man to do the deed. Is Lucian going after Elizabeth? And what will she do? Will he steal her soul, or her heart?

Elisabeth was coming home for her sister's wedding to be the Maid of Honor. If she would've known what the Best Man, William would've been like though, she probably would've told her sister no and give it to her soon to be witchy sister in law- Carolynn. William loved Chase like a brother but having all the mothers throwing their daughters at him, Will was about to ditch the whole thing and just send the Jean and Chase black plane tickets on his private jet to anywhere they want and pay for the honeymoon, then he met Elisabeth, Jean's sister, a spit fire that would rather kiss a frog than be in his presence.

Highest Ranking: #50 in Vampire He was there, fangs baring and eyes burning in the dark. Those fangs were alluring and captivating as they caught the harsh, orange light from the sconces lining the walls. My brain told me to run, but my feet were glued to the ground. My heart pounded against my ribcage, sending painful jolts to my limbs as they shook. "Stella....Stella...."; he breathed heavily, never taking his eyes off me. "Please-don't-" "Stella...I-" his entire body shook in strange convulsions. "No...Monticello!" automatically my hand reached out, wanting to at least reassure him I wasn't scared. But I was. His irises flared a rich red, simultaneously causing the pupils to contract. A deep growl thundered in his chest. As his mouth widened, a ferocious, feral snarl escaped and sent my heart into overdrive. I took a step back, nearly tripping over my feet as he advanced. Before I could blink, he was lunging at my throat.

{Part of the Bloodlines Histories} Waking up in the morgue is not how 18-year-old Charlotte Alders expected to end her first Halloween in college. While enjoying a night out with friends, she realizes too late that she has fallen into the hands of a sinister figure she knows only as Luca Acerbi--a vampire with a less than stellar personality who has a torrid past that spans hundreds of years and dozens of history books. Soon Charlotte realizes she has escaped the radar of her murderous creator--for now-- only to be pursued by vampires who work for the mysterious duo Renaud and Violette, and protected only by the guarded and sometimes untrustworthy witch Gwendolen. Gwendolen has taken a keen interest in Charlotte and her existence, but why? Charlotte is trust into the care of impatient and pessimistic vampire Cormac, who has a mysterious and lengthy past of his own and there may be more to the vampire than meets the eye. Upon becoming a vampire after living a life as what the supernatural world calls a Mundane, Charlotte must reign in her thirst within her if she wants to hold onto what is left of her humanity before she becomes like many of the jaded and self-loathing vampires she meets. Things in the supernatural world are quickly darkening with whispers of dark forces, both living and undead, taking hold. Charlotte is all to willing to stay neutral, but danger is always knocking on the door as she is left to determing: who is a friend and who is a foe? Only time will tell, but Charlotte is quickly learning that she may be more important than she ever thought possible...

This is Benji's story (from Breaking Finn) and how he met Ajax. Benji is 19, he suffers from A.D.H.D. (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder), but with a lot of support from his family and his best friend he has learned to cope well with it and is now in his first year at U.C.L.A. His friend Jamie brings him with her to a club and he is introduced into the bdsm lifestyle. His interest is piqued and after training to be a sub, he is matched with a Dom, Ajax. This is a bxb (or mxm) story with light bdsm and explicit sexual encounters. If you are at all offended by any of this, please, just walk away from this story. My writing is certainly not for everyone and that's okay. I use models in my stories to represent characters. For me it helps me to fully engage with the character if I have a face and I think the readers might feel the same. However, my use of their pictures has no connection with the models themselves. I do not know any of them (unfortunately), I do not know their sexual preferences or their lifestyle so any depiction in my story has nothing to do with the person in real life. I also like to add songs/videos to my chapters and most of the time the music reflects the chapter somehow, so it's definitely worth listening to them if you are able. My stories are works of fiction. They are subject to copyright legislation, so please do not steal my story. If you steal an idea here or there, I don't really care. If my story inspires you to write something, that's a good thing. There are two very talented writers currently writing stories about some of the characters in this story. This is something I asked them to do and am very excited where they are taking their stories. The two spin-offs are about Eric & Stephan and Rob & Peter. I encourage you to read them. Eric & Stephan's story is "Lessons in the Male Anatomy" and Rob & Peter's story is "Anxiously Yours". They are both fabulous! :)
