    Victor Voltaire and Elias Carter, two college students in 2024. Victor, a seemingly stoic man with jet black hair and silvery blue eyes and Elias, a sort of enigmatic man with soft black hair and platinum purple eyes. Two friends since 8th grade, now in the same college lecture. Where they read of the great tale of "Sherlock Holms" The story which is believed to be fake. No historical records of these so called real figures were kept. Nothing of them, not a speck. Many, no, almost everyone believed it to be fake. Yet, lo and behold, our protagonists, mysteriously winding up in the past, the year of 1879. Gets to find out that these so called fictional characters are very much real. Through the eyes of modern day men. Being able to see for themselves, the story of Sherlock Holms. Victor, who ends up as a "high class" noble, and Elias, who finds himself working with a certain government employee. Will these two, separated by a strange phenomenon meet again? And how come the story differs so dramatically from history. ⚠️Disclaimer⚠️ Victor will be the main focus. I do not understand these complex ass characters well enough to fully portray them properly. (Aka they will be ooc). My brain power is also limited so the story may have many plot holes and wack story telling. There of course will be profanity and the like. As well as death and murder. I will be mostly following the manga storyline for this. ⚠️Images used will be from pinterest. (I may use other resources to help me better with descriptions and the like).⚠️ Not everything will be cannon or fully cannon. Will have small grammatical errors. I am a newbie when it comes to story telling so bear with me. Oh and i failed geography + history so...

    Known to many as "Lekher Adeeba," this nickname of Adeeba Choudhury's reflects her twin obsessions: the lake and the art of writing. Though she was raised in Brazil by her prejudiced maternal aunt, Lily Shikdar, Adeeba remains deeply rooted in her Bengali identity. An introverted mystery to some and a local icon to others, she spends her days by the water, rejecting every marriage proposal that comes her way-waiting only for "the true one." Though she's mistreated by the very woman who brought her up, everyone else is her big fan. The eighth novel in the **Family** series is more an adult fairy tale, though it's not! Roberto Costa is a servant who is cursed to carry the spirits of the dead. It is recommended for readers aged 13 and up.

    After a night of wild weather, two neighbours wake to find their fences down, their roofs battered, and their insurance companies determined to make them share the inconvenience. She's practical, tired, and quietly furious. He's polite, awkward, and just as stranded. Between them lies a garden that somehow escaped the storm - calm, untouched, and far too interested in their business. As the repairs drag on, the garden begins to behave oddly: blossoms blooming out of season, petals falling with deliberate timing, a scent that seems to follow them both. It isn't magic, exactly. But it isn't ordinary either. A story of quiet connection, neighbourly kindness, and the small, uncanny places that bring us back to ourselves.

    Wendy S. Godwin-Frags Mibeit Gazab has two problems. The first is that her school is harvesting students' souls as collateral for unpaid tuition fees, which is technically legal, aggressively documented, and somehow tax-exempt. The second is her book. Shells of Desire, Volume 8 is a Qliphothic narrative familiar that automatically translates any unbearable situation into survivable genre fiction. Specifically: erotic melodrama. Wendy did not ask for this. She has filed seventeen formal complaints. The book has not acknowledged a single one. So when the school's reality-enforcement system flags Wendy as an unclassifiable administrative anomaly - something that has never happened in the institution's four-hundred-year history of processing, commodifying, and occasionally accidentally destroying its students - the book responds the only way it knows how. It makes it romantic. Wendy refuses. The book tries harder.

    If you go down to the woods today... maybe avoid dabbling with ancient black magic? When three unlikely high-school friends decide to perform a magical ritual, it seems like a fun idea. What's better than some play-pretend to break the boredom of their mundane life? Each of them is fighting her own demons, so why not get out of their heads for a bit and enjoy some innocent fun together? It's only a game. It can't hurt anyone. Only it can. And when they realize that, the ritual has already started. *** Please note! I usually write gay romance, but this book is different. It's supernatural fiction, with elements of thriller, high school drama, mothers/daughters issues and so on. All the protagonists are female, so it contains no MM romance!

Behind the mirrors, unfamiliar voices keep calling along with a dangerous figure who shadows her every step. As the heavens fall silent and the darkness begins to collect souls still in debt, Aerlene must traverse five forgotten realms, guided by a cursed immortal and a spirit-summoner seeking redemption from the shadows of a haunted past. Their goal: to uncover ancient relics, seen only by those who have died and returned. Fragments of a power capable of shaking the foundations of fate... or erasing it entirely.

    What if magic could live alongside science and not negate one another? What if there was a way to explain the unexplainable? What if everything you knew about the world turned out to only be a little piece of a bigger puzzle? Sophie lived her whole life trying to be the perfect daughter, the perfect student and not cause any trouble. But striving for perfection can often leave you doubting yourself more than anything. Taking one's first steps into adulthood always comes with significant changes, but for Sophie, they are vastly different from anything she has ever imagined. She unravels a whole other world that she has always been a part of - but had no idea existed. Will Sophie be able to navigate this unfamiliar journey, or will she cave under the pressure of her legacy? *** This story has been brewing in my mind for countless sleepless nights. It is my comfort place I still keep running away to in stressful times. I keep discovering this world and the character of Sophie, who started as a reflection of my own struggles and insecurities, but developed and changed into her own person, one I'm very proud of. My dream has always been to gather all my ideas about this story in one place and share it with others to enjoy and immerse themselves in. Turquoise sky used to live only in my imagination, and I'm sure as I write it down, it will keep evolving and changing, and I'm excited to take you on this journey with me.

    The Dreamer awakes, the shadow goes by; the tale I have told you, that tale is a lie...

Reader, remember this: the tales are pure fictions. Fantasies. Except when they are not.

He disappears into the road, the music, and the spaces between towns, trying to become something strong enough to survive the wreckage. But when their paths collide, love becomes heavier than desire. It becomes a cost neither man is ready to pay.

    When Percy Yokog's family moves to a remote town offering too-good-to-be-true opportunities, he expects some adjustment pains-but not the kind that come with discovering his new school, Mystic High, is anything but ordinary. Monsters and humans coexist here under a fragile truce, but beneath the surface lie ancient grudges, deadly secrets, and a brewing war. Thrown into this volatile environment, Percy discovers a hidden world of magic, monsters, and malevolent forces beyond his understanding. When his latent abilities awaken, he becomes a target-viewed as a threat by monsters who see humans as prey and by shadowy powers seeking to unravel the delicate balance between worlds. With the help of an eccentric group of allies-a sarcastic werewolf hybrid, a guarded Neko demon-witch, and a mysterious vampire with a love for human culture-Percy must navigate a school teetering on the edge of chaos. Together, they uncover the truth behind the school's deadly conflicts and face an anti-human conspiracy that threatens to ignite all-out war. As tensions rise and trust is tested, Percy must embrace his role as a bridge between two worlds or risk watching them crumble. But at Mystic High, survival comes at a cost, and even the smallest choices can lead to devastating consequences. Mystic High: The First Light weaves dark fantasy, high-stakes drama, and poignant moments of humanity into a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the fight for coexistence in a fractured world.
