Dystrophy Stories

Her life was supposed to be stable. Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable. A job. A mortgage. A routine barely held together with coffee and denial. But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long. When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet. The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. Charlotte just tries to survive it. Until something starts to change. In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story. Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked. But fate has never cared about what she believes. And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again. Because some bonds are not chosen. They are claimed.

"Stop right there." Confused, I turned around. "What? I thought we're rushing?" "We are, but apparently you need me to explain the rules to you again." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "You want me to be quiet and look pretty. It's not that hard to understand," I sighed. "I'm not going to embarrass you, don't worry." He didn't seem convinced. "I'm serious. Behave." Behave? I arched an eyebrow at him. "I don't know if you've forgotten, but I am not your submissive." Something flickered in his eyes. "Believe me, if you were my submissive, you'd be over my knee right now for your tone and that eye roll a minute ago."

Blood for blood, bite for bite. Who gets to walk away? _____ Harper Moon is a bottom-of-the-barrel vampire and one of the most notorious vandals of the modern west coast. In theory, it could admit him into the most coveted private artistry academy the vampiric species has ever mustered up. But in practice, it could be what serves him on a plate instead. Every other year for their twentieth birthdays, those at the bottom are rounded up and assigned a mentor from the ones at the top, and trained for one year to compete in the largest biennial artistic competition for all vampires to watch. Those that are chosen are debuted as the next generation of artistic machinery for the elite. Those that are not, could be food. In a last-ditch attempt to break out of his lot in life and see himself free, Harper joins the ranks in hopes of working his way out. But talent is not the only thing the games necessitate, and art is not so black and white under a scrutinizing eye. When the competition begins to melt into more than just a game of the talents, but of his very mind, Harper will come to find the world of the arts is a brutal battlefield, that passion harbors a gruesome side, and the intricate politics of what it really means to be free may not be a game he can play alone. It's glamour, greed, gore, and greatness. And nowhere is too far to go just to have a taste. [ONGOING] [#1 in VAMPIREACADEMY] [#2 in GAMES] [#2 in ARTBOOK]
