When seventeen year-old Runner was sentenced to death for stealing a loaf of bread in MegaCity One, his dreams were literally at an end. But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.

And Harry kind of likes that. A lot. [AU in which White Eskimo got a record deal and are now touring the country, stopping at clubs and bars in hope to make it onto the scene. One Direction don't exist, and there's a girl (at this point the band aren't sure of her name) who likes to follow them around wherever they go and she may or may not have the most complicated personality ever.] [Cover: someweirdhipster] [Words: 31,000]

For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone.

Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past.

After many years of solitude, one loses hope to ever see daylight, ever have hope again. Duathiell has been alone for as long as she can remember, and any hope of being free has long vanished. With each setting sun, each lost day, she draws away from the outside world, trapped by her father figure in the dark prison of her tower. But every day she sees that the sun rises once more, and if she can strain her eyes just far enough, she can see the world; the land of Middle-Earth, that stretches as far as she can see. One day, she says, one day she'll see it all, run in the trees and live in the forests, but she never thinks about who will be with her. She never thinks about who she will meet, fall in love with, and what great adventures they will go on together. It never even crosses her mind, and when it does, it will surely be a tale that will be passed down for generations of Elves for Ages to come, who'll all tell the tale of the unlikely hero, who in discovering herself, forged a path that will influence many to follow.
