    • Book 1 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Hiraya te Salem Ka'art'ite, the last of the nomadic Terapatxi, has chosen the shadows. A survivor of the RDA's cruelest experiments, the fifteen-year-old Hiraya knows a bitter truth: in a world at war, her mutated blood is not a gift - it is a prize to be exploited by humans and Na'vi alike. ​Her carefully guarded solitude is shattered when a stranger stumbles into her sanctuary. He doesn't come with shackles or syringes; he comes with a gentle smile and a name that carries the weight of a legend. ​"I am Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan. Son of Toruk Makto. It's nice to meet you, Hiraya." ○●○●○●○ This Avatar - Neteyam AU fanfic: • is canon-compliant (save for the author's own interpretation of incomplete souls and Spirit World rules). • is written in switching 3rd person POVs for better storytelling. • adheres to sci-fi laws and logical emotional development. • is literally made to counter Neteyam's canonical death in ATWOW. • is made by an author who loves pictures (so please do read online for the full experience ♡). ○●○●○●○ Sample passage from this book: ​"Listen to me," Neteyam said, his focus narrowing entirely on her, his brows furrowed with genuine concern. He shifted, his hand moving to cover hers where it rested, white-knuckled and trembling against her thigh. Her skin felt fever-hot against his palm, a sharp contrast to the cooling spray of the sea. ​"Focus on this," he told her, keeping his voice low and steady to cut through the sound of the surf. He needed her to stop staring at the horizon with those dead eyes. "Feel the weight of my hand. The salt on your skin. You are here, Hiraya. Right now. You're with me, and we're above the surface. Stay in the light."

    "How does a girl survive a mass murder without a scratch, and the killer remain at large? The Only Survivor..is she truly innocent, or a killer hiding in plain sight?" ---------------- Fallon knew she was never supposed to survive that night. All of the forensic evidence said as much--statistically and logically, her survival was nothing short of a miracle. But what some deemed a miracle or an act of God quickly became the thunderous end of the world as Fallon knew it. The media became obsessed-picking apart the details of the case and everything involved-and tore itself in half with the same question: Was Fallon truly an innocent victim, or a killer hiding in plain sight? Since the night she became the sole survivor of the Midnight Massacre, she's learned to pretend that it never happened. She can't be a victim if she doesn't pay attention to the past, right? But when she stumbles across a crime scene and finds out that the illusive Midnight Butcher, the one who turned her world upside down, has returned a year later, the delicate balance she's built for herself is shattered. The Butcher wants-needs-her to join the ranks of the dead, but not quite yet. Subjected to terrors and a mysterious stalker that always seems to find their way into her space, Fallon must learn to navigate her life, and find a way to destroy the Midnight Butcher's in return. Finding purpose in enacting revenge for the other victims, who's names have been lost to the discourse over her own involvement and the Butcher's motives, Fallon begins to investigate the murders. With the reluctant help of her neighbor-- and childhood friend turned public enemy--the annoyingly charming Vincent Hutton, Fallon is determined to find the Butcher at all costs. Even if entangling herself with Vincent might just put a target on his back, too. Book Two of the Between Eternity Duology (Can be read as a standalone)

In a bold move, she joins an elite military faction tasked with defending humanity against a terrifying onslaught of monsters. As she dons the uniform and steps onto the battlefield, Alexia realizes with a mix of dread and resolve that she's been handed the same mission that once eluded her: to protect those around her. Unbeknownst to her, this journey will test her limits, force her to confront her past, and ultimately reveal the depths of her strength. Cover art by: kryst_art on Instagram

    |SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH · 9X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · PERFECT FOR FANS OF A MAN CALLED OVE AND REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES!| A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. *** Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *#SupportHistoricalLGBTQVoices* Trigger Warnings (this book is a drama and touches on heavy topics, inspired by my father and grandpa's service in the Navy and my father's reaction to my older brother's death in 2021. However, it's a clean story.): - War trauma (including PTSD) - Survivor's guilt - Lots of angst - Accidental murder, and Bill's struggle to accept his friend's confession of being queer at first.

    Everyone Percy loved died. Gaia had been defeated but at a price that was almost not worth it. He had lost Grover, Jason, Piper, Frank, Rayna, Hazel, Conner, Nico, Will, Travis, Clarisse, Lou Ellen, Leo, Sally, Paul (who were murdered by Gaia during the war) and worst of all his wise girl, Annabeth. He had nothing else to live for until he went to live with his Uncle Tony Stark. Will he get better? Will the Avengers find out what he is? Will he trust them enough? What happenes when another prophecy spouts? Will the Avengers choose to fight along side him? Or will they betray him? Will he seek help from the other demigods? Will he learn how to live without Annabeth? Or will he give up so he could be with her forever? I don't own any Percy Jackson or any Avengers characters, Rick Riordan and Marvel own them. I do own the plot though. All of the pictures are not mine either, I do not take any credit for them. All of the characters I make up are mine though.
