Bildungsroman Stories

"Listen, I've got a deal for you," Azure's firm voice flew across the soft wind of the graveyard, "something we'd both want." Elliot stepped back slightly, "I doubt that..." Azure stepped closer and the street light flickered; he leaned in and whispered, it was soft, like the fall of dead leaves, "I can help you keep your scholarship. We both know you need it. Interested?" Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Did you do a background check on me?" "That doesn't answer my question." "And you didn't answer mine." (Abridged & modified) -/- Life had never been fair to Elliot. After barely managing to scrape by, he somehow made it to his senior year at Central Haven School, the oldest and most prestigious independent high school in the country. He was prepared for the last tiresome year of high school, but the future has other plans for him. The start of the school year brings with it the infamous Central Haven Merit Project. Unfortunately, it's done in pairs this year. Even worse, he's stuck with Azure, notorious for his flippant demeanor. His living situation is getting worse, and his scholarship is at risk. Azure, oddly, notices Elliot's struggles, and the two make a questionable alliance. Surely Azure's up to something, but what? Regardless, Elliot isn't in a position to refuse. Maybe they'll find and lose Liberation. -/- If you're unsure about this reading this story, I hope you'll at least stick around to chapter 7 when the plot begins ramping up. This story is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers. Please do not take this story at surface value. There's a lot of subtext, symbolism, etc. Reader discretion is highly advised for emotionally charged moments and themes! However, I cannot state why due to spoilers. Elliot is a strong protagonist, just less traditional. Give him time to show his true colors. Updates will come on weekends around 5:45 p.m. (EST) with most months having at least one update. The ending is planned.

And one question will linger: Can love survive the truth?

According to her brother, high school sophomore Emily Randazzo has a "GPS brain" which set her route and won't let her try a new one. But as far as Emily is concerned, her whole life has been spent in trials - like trying to decide whether she should live in Brooklyn with her strict Mom or suburban Jersey with her lenient Dad - or trying to figure out how other people's brains work and why hers is so different from theirs - or trying to navigate when she should stand firm in her ways, versus being flexible for others. After so many years struggling to fit in and be happy, Emily finally feels that she's found her lane in life. She's attending an all-girl school that she loves, made some good friends like her bestie Jenny, and set a goal to be accepted to Yale University. So of course she doesn't want to change direction now! However, a weekend visit to the relaxed rules at her father's home puts new detours in Emily's path, starting in the form of two boys: her brother's best friend Kelly, and next-door-neighbor Evan. Soon enough Emily begins to wonder if she should recalculate. Divided between two parents, two states, two boys and the possibilities of two extremely different lives, Emily is trying to figure out who, what and where she wants to be in her future.

Those questions will lead to more questions. And those questions may not have an answer."

The story of how the infamous Horcrux diary ended up in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way-and it led to the right consequences. • What? A proper old‑school romp in fanfic trappings. Scratch the surface and you'll find social speculative fiction, a coming‑of‑age tale, a psychological thriller, and a good deal else. • Who? Readers who've had their fill of harems, secret legacies and overpowered heroes, and want some solid storytelling with soft humor, fully realised characters and plot. • Who won't it suit? Anyone on the hunt for the 'steamy stuff.' There's none of that here-absolutely none. Sorry. Really, though, it's just a story for people who love magic with all their heart.
