[ This story was written in less than 30 Days - Winner of November NaNoWriMo project ] Delilah Rose (the actual Devil from actual Hell) sucks at keeping relationships afloat. In desperate attempt to win the heart back of Ryland Woods, a moody, teenage boy from Earth who dumped her ugly persona in the first place, the Devil forms into a seventeen-year-old girl and crashes back to his planet in hope to make him fall in love with her one more time--but for a greater reason than lust. Try measuring the stakes on a universe-saving scale. A comedy where a spirit, hell-ish world meets teenage angst and first world problems. cover by @naramatilda +++ Don't be afraid of us: the Boys of the Dark. We own hearts that starve in the shadows, and soak in the filth of our past. We wear hollowed boned smiles and burn everything to make the warmth last. Ever since you left, its always cold in the dark.

Birdie Atwater shouldn't be breathing right now--much less hearing her husband give a sermon as if she's yet another normal churchgoer. After a near death experience that is a little too close to a recurring nightmare and involves a delusion born into some hellish being, Birdie regains her hearing. In Victorian England, after seventeen long years with forgotten hopes of recovery, it is branded as a miracle. Even though Birdie may be slightly bent from the incident, she is surely not broken. To her, her cage has been opened, and she has been freed. That is, until she realizes that this is only the beginning of a cruel demise and not the start of a happy ending. When strange and deadly happenings begin surrounding Birdie, she must work against this repossessed sense, her mind, Victorian society, and an Ancient Greek force to keep her sanity from entering an irreversible downward spiral. At what lengths will you go to keep all that is sacred to you? What does it take to break you when you're already beaten down by others for something you can't control? How do you keep from going mad when everything else is trying to convince you otherwise? Throw open the bird cage with Birdie and let a little hell run loose to find out.

Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.
