Two months after finding out that they have magical abilities, Quinn is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they're a witch. It becomes even more difficult when another, significantly more troubling talent starts to emerge: the ability to see ghosts. ***** Even though Quinn tries to ignore the spirits haunting the old college campus, they soon find themself inexplicably drawn to Vincent, a boy from the 1930s with a sweet disposition and a tragic past, and his rag-tag group of ghosts. Before they know it, they find themself on a desperate hunt for answers and artifacts from their former lives, aided by Luis, a charming coffin maker with a penchant for the paranormal who Quinn can't seem to stay away from. In the end, it all comes down to one question: to accept or not to accept their magic? Spoiler alert: caring more and more about the ghosts you're supposed to set free doesn't make things easier. This is a spin-off to LOVE AND OTHER WICKED THINGS but can be read as a stand-alone. Content warning: this story contains themes of anxiety, death, insomnia, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of cancer, mentions of drug overdose, mentions of motorcycle accident, mentions of parental neglect, paranoia, panic attack

Lyssa: From the Ancient Greek, rage and fury. Victoria Garza is in desperate need of a divorce attorney and answers about her brother's death. Meanwhile, Olivia Powell is home from her gap year traveling the world and ready for a new start in college. After Western lyssavirus spreads like wildfire throughout the Lakewood College student population, Olivia flees to an emergency shelter with her roommate Jordan and their friend Hailey.

Here's hoping Victoria and Olivia find what they seek before the world descends into madness.

[UNEDITED AND TO BE REMOVED DECEMBER 31st, 2025] *** After moving to Connecticut to room with her best friend for the summer, Chastity Blake doesn't know what to think of the charm bracelet she finds, caught under the floorboards in her new bedroom; with the initials D.K. engraved into it. But ignoring the bracelet's origins isn't an option when she begins to live out strange scenarios as a young woman named Delilah. And when these scenarios start cutting too close to reality, she can't help but suspect they're memories. She quickly realizes though they're not her memories. They're Delilah Kim's memories -- a girl who was believed to have committed her family's murder, then suicide. But her memories tell a different story other than what everyone else in town seems to know. And it's up to Chastity to place the missing pieces of the puzzle together.
