"Natalie," he repeated, her name like velvet on his tongue. He seemed to like the sound of it because he repeated it again, his voice turning low. "Natalie." Leon Hughes was a mystery masked by bruised cheeks and bleeding knuckles. He was a wraith, a shadow on the walls - sometimes there, sometimes gone. Never set in stone. He showed up when he showed up, with his face bleeding, his shirt torn, his skin blistered. Natalie never knew when he'd come, but she always let him in. Originally a short story.

Survival instinct. The ability to know what to do to save your own life. For sentient organisms, pain and fear are integral parts of this self-preservation mechanism. Pain motivates the individual to withdrawal from damaging situations, and fear causes the organism to seek safety. It's theorized to be the basis of rational thought and logical behavior. The primal part of my brain wasn't made to calmly approach a death it was perfectly aware of, but the captain taught me that I had to be more than just another scared prey animal if I wanted to truly live in this world. He taught me that I needed to do more than just survive. Attack on Titan Levi Ackermann x OC or Levi x reader if you want to be the main character Cover art is my own drawing. No manga spoilers. Under editing. I work on this story nearly every day but that isn't reflected by the 'last updated' date.

Juliet Harrington, a wealthy teen, who has a throne in the Hills and the world at her feet leads a pretty hectic life. Sure she's been working with a silver spoon in her mouth since the day she was born, but that silver spoon doesn't make it any easier to juggle running a high school empire, trying not to fail all of her classes, captaining a cheerleading team, and striking the fear of God into every last one of her peers. Toss in a very random, very sudden, very intense new crush and Juliet finds herself in one hell of a head spinning whirlwind. The path she's on is a rocky one, but she will not tolerate failing to come out on top on any one of those fronts. If that means she has to scratch out a few eyes in order to get there, then that's exactly what she'll do. And she'll do it with a smile on her face and her favorite pair of Jimmy Choos on her feet.
