Synesthesia Stories

Felix Swift is a teenager with a big problem; He just can't stay awake. And falling asleep at the wrong moment has already caused him more trouble in the past year than most people will ever experience. Relocating to the countryside with his family brings with it a whole new set of problems. Missing persons, freak storms, crop circles, all-night raves, the local gang, not to mention the challenge of baby-sitting his annoying little brother. His time in the 'arse-end of nowhere' is proving to be every bit as wild as his years growing up in South London. But as Felix soon discovers, village life also holds the keys and the clues to the adventure of a lifetime, and an opportunity to nurture the seeds of friendships that will last forever. ***************************************************************************** Dear Readers, If you are enjoying The Brightlings, please don't forget to vote for each chapter, and feel free to comment (provided you don't post spoilers).

It is a doodle of two of the mains: Ren and Skyla. Thanks to Sky for being my idea bouncer and to Fi for being my first beta reader.

"Your music defines the colors of my life, Lee Jihoon." 'Would you believe me when I told you that... A artist fell in love with a masterpiece?' "Who the hell are you?" 'I know you because I fell in love with your music... and you.' Kim Mingyu sees colors when he listens to music. Music inspires his art. Lee Jihoon became his inspiration, but Jihoon wants nothing to do with art. -Trigger Warnings (Depression, Eating disorder, Alcohol consumption, etc.)- -Side Ships- -College! AU- -Synesthetic!

Aelluice can hear colors. Aelluice likes the number four. Aelluice has violent thoughts that she would never act on but can never turn off. Aelluice was diagnosed with chromesthesia and OCD when she was nine. Seven years later, she has only been skirting around the problem, going to therapy, taking her meds, pretending she's neuro-typical, and losing herself in music and painting. Until her unstable world is turned upside down after she collides with a silent, black-clad boy with a voice of ochre.

Orphaned and psychic sisters Loy and Cale move to a new town to start over. Loy hopes she can finally claim independence and find happiness in the new town, while Cale is blissfully unaware of the true reason they left their home. What will it take to stay free from the evil chasing them? Why is it chasing them? Who will come to their aid? This is more about how all the stories intertwine. Cale will have her own book as an OHSHC fanfic, and the romantic aspect of it is there, but it's not the plot. If this awful summary managed to grab your attention, 1. I'm surprised but 2. I encourage you to read, if only for the critique of other writers and readers.

she could hear colors and loved the way they described her.

[ SEQUEL TO CHAMELEON ] Run. Hide. Stay low. Blend in. Shed your skin and step into someone else's. These are the values I've been taught. But how does one unlearn things that have been so vital to their survival in the past? I'm at least learning to try. For their sake, if not for mine. My name is Aspen Brooks Quinn, and I can read minds. But I'm not the only one who can do something unnatural. There are others, others like me. But my secrets are nothing compared to theirs. And theirs? Theirs could change what it means to be human. [ON HOLD UNTIL 2021 BECAUSE LIFE]

"Synesthesia? Synesthesia." The story of the two Roleplayer.

"The colors everywhere aren't real but please don't tell me that you aren't too..." Was it all just a living metaphor? A story about a teenager who has woken up from a coma and meets a strange boy.

These are my own poems I wrote about synesthesia. I have synesthesia and was always fascinated by it. Although, many don't understand it. This is pretty much the first time writing poems, other than when we were assigned in class to write them on certain topics, but this time I can relate to what I'm writing. Hope you enjoy.

Rue Sycamore is an environmental science degree student in University of Wisconsin-Madison. For her, every number, letter, month, day, and name has their own color, and always has been the same colors since she could remember. One day during her biology class, the school's psychotherapist entered the classroom, asking them to take a test for the faculty's research. By the end of the test, Rue scored 0.53 for her grapheme color picker test, 0.39 for her month color picker test, and 0.49 for her weekday color picker test. The test indicated that anyone who scored lower than 1 had synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon where one sense can stimulate another sense. Later, she is put in a program with three other synesthetes. There is Colt, a badminton player who could taste words, Isabel, a ballet dancer who sees colors whenever she listens to music, and Horace, a math enthusiast who could see number lines in space. Together, Rue learns more about her gift that is mistakenly seen as a disorder.

After trying to end her reality, a brilliant yet tormented girl wakes in a world she only knew in her dreams. Since being plagued with mental issues at a young age, Lucia (Lucy) Smith expects that she is simply in a fantasy land. However, through a violent series of events, she questions her perception of actuality and place in it. She is left estranged, confused and thirsting for redemption. Consequently, she is whirled through a journey through the very fabric of time itself. Lucy does not have much else to lose, not even reality itself, in this adventure of self-identity and courage.

Aurora, a 23 year old artist with synesthesia, has just moved to Brighton, England as an attempt to escape the problems from her home life in the US and chase the dreams she once had in college. She almost immediately discovers that her new apartment shares a wall with a noisy musician next door, a less than ideal situation. Aurora is faced with the question of what's worse, the sounds of his music through the walls all hours of the night, or her thoughts when it's finally silent? Wilbur, a 25 year old online content creator, is faced with two dilemmas. One, he has already seemed to be a nuisance to his new neighbor. And two, he fell head over heels for a random American girl in his local grocery store without as much as asking for her name. He feels haunted by the stranger, constantly finding pieces of her scattered through his day to day life. Wilbur has to find a way to smooth things out with his new neighbor and somehow track down the girl he met by chance. Note: This story is a parallel of their experiences- each chapter alternates following Aurora and Wilbur. Possible trigger warnings: This story contains themes of depression, anxiety, pills, and suicidal ideation. I find that putting trigger warnings above each chapter is kind of a spoiler. Please be mindful if these are things that could upset you <3
