    ​"Every twenty years, the silence doesn't just fall. It hunts." ​Elias Thorne is a man who lives for noise. As a true-crime podcaster, his life is measured in decibels and digital wave-forms. But when his sister Sarah sends him a final, frantic recording from their childhood home in Hollow Creek, Elias is forced back to a place that shouldn't exist on any map. ​He arrives at noon on the first day of The Silence. For seventy-two hours, no one in Hollow Creek speaks. No one moves. No one dares to breathe too loud. They aren't just following a tradition; they are hiding from the "Vocalist"-a creature that feeds on the echoes of the living. ​Armed only with his audio recorder and a heavy dose of guilt, Elias must navigate a town of masked neighbors and red-chalk boundaries. But as the clock ticks toward the final hour, he realizes his sister wasn't taken by a monster. She is being forced to sing for one. ​Don't listen. Don't speak. And whatever you do... don't look out the window.

    He read Lolita on the train and saw himself in Humbert - not with shame, but recognition. An educated man. A saviour. Coming to claim his fragile, sickly bride. She was eighteen. Pale. Barely ate. The family feared her. He thought he was the hunter. He was wrong. "Beauty and the Monster" is a gothic inversion - a tale where the predator becomes prey, where the one who came to break is broken, where a thousand-year-old creature wears the face of a victim and feeds on those who mistake power for love. Part Nabokov critique. Part vampire myth. Part prophecy about a world learning to applaud its monsters. Will you love me, World?

    "Beneath Diana's Moon" is a micro gothic tale set within the author's dark universe, where evil often escapes explanation and lingers beyond human reason. Amidst fire, superstition, and forgotten rites, a witness recalls the birth of something not of this world: the Janara, an ancient hunger that returns beneath the August moon. A chilling fragment where horror cannot be contained-because it still walks among us. © Jessica Magnarelli 2025 - All rights reserved"

    We all think we know the true story of the past of Undertale. ... we THINK. But what if we don't really know? What if a far darker tale is yet to be told? What if a secret darkness lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike? What if it's what really got Chara... ...and what if it comes back? (This AU is by my friend Star. I asked her if I could write a fic of it and she approved. It's still a work in progress, but I'll add in more details later)
