This is a Christmas gift for two of my irl friends and my sister, but if it looks interesting anybody can feel free to read. Everything was normal in their lives. Four friends, simply existing. Nothing too terribly exciting except for their normal teenage lives. Everything was normal until it wasn't. Four friends, four dreams, four powers. It's summer for most students, but these four have to use the time to figure out what the heck is going on in their lives. Seeing colors, magic tattoos, pencils with the power of creation, it almost seems unreal. But it's not. For once in their lives, these four girls aren't normal. And they couldn't be happier.

Sanei Aket is just a trainer living on the outskirts of Hau'oli City with her father, a teacher at the nearby Trainer's School. She's been waiting until she turned sixteen to finally venture out on her island challenge, because that's the year her mother left on her own journey back in Johto. Little does she know that she's going to get caught up in the mess that is fast approaching the Alola region. Along with the other trainers chosen by Professor Kukui, she has to contend with Team Skull, the mysterious Aether Foundation, and the general difficulties that come with traveling with Pokémon. And she couldn't be more excited.

Before she was the infamous Phoenix, the blood witch who killed the emperor, she was a courtesan forced to open her legs for money she would never touch. The price to power is littered with a road of blood and gore. Anomie will pay that price, even at the cost of her soul.

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.

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)

¥ Ѡє'rяє Ѧłł Ϻѧժԑ Θf ֆʈѧяժʊϛʈ ¥ A tale of love, tragedy, betrayal, but most of all, hope. Young Mist Genin Reira Kiseki arrives Konoha expecting her chance to become a Chuunin with her her brother Ryukyu and teammate Rena. Reira "Rei" Kiseki is annoying, loud, and self-absorbed, but with a personality as bright and innocent as the sun. She was born with abilities that could bring anyone to their knees, but at the cost of her heart and her life. With Kiri and Konoha on the brink of yet another war, her secrets could sway the balance of chaos. Secrets that make her question the difference between right and wrong. Secrets that make her question whether what she was doing would cause more pain than she ever would have guessed. She finds herself thrown in the mitts of deciding whether she should follow her duty or follow her heart, to follow her family or follow her friends. "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. The atoms in your left hand probably came from a different atom than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust."

Eliot Dragova is apathetic and a diagnosed sociopath. She failed at being a doctor and failed at maintaining relationships. Just when she assumed she'd fail at everything else, the apocalypse hit and she found that her problems were never more useful for surviving. But everyone needs to make connections if they want to do more than just survive.

Safu was born into a body that was weak and shackled to the earth. Day by day, she watched her organs fail, one at a time as her fingers lost their will to move. She watched her parent's eyes grow dimmer and dimmer until her own sight grew dim as well until all she saw was the black nothing that doomed to entrap her forever. She barely remembered what it felt like to walk or run and she could never imagine what it would be like to fly. Upon her last moments, she made a wish upon a star. So when she was reborn as the lively and rambunctious Shion, she immersed herself in the warm sunlight glow and blanketed herself in the grass. Her wish came true and she was once more able to run and laugh and play, but all wishes come with a couple consequences. Shion is an orphan with a curse, doomed with bad luck. How long can she last in a world where bad luck could mean certain death?

Death has a strange sense of humor. I had failed in protecting my teammates, and as punishment, I am thrown back in time and into the body of my killer no less. Growing up in a family of assassins who cared more about money than kin wasn't easy, but neither was inhabiting the body of that very same assassin who slaughtered my friends. Now, I'm trapped in an old game of gods amongst men, tasked to make something right even if no one tells me what that is. Itachi/OC

Last night, my shadow exploded into hundreds of fluttering black birds with wide wings and sharp feathers. I watched as their wings were cut off and they were shoved in a cage, only to wake and find myself in a cage myself, surrounded by lunatics and criminals. Day in and day out my cage restricts my organs until my lungs are the only part of me still fighting to breathe. That is when I met Katherine Pierce. It is said that people with like minds are drawn to each other. For a moment I thought she was like me, a Phoenix, waiting to ignite into flames only to rise from the ashes. How could I have known she'd have no issue setting me on fire just see the shadows that lurk behind her? Katherine Pierce is a liar and a manipulator, using people for her own personal gain. But birds of a feather flock together and perhaps we're not so different.
