Dream
by A.H.
By the grave I saw the illusions
I crave the imaginary, ideal idol
And the certainties never stargazing
And its eyes have all the mythologise
And so you came gently giggling
All my soul within me wiggling
All my soul within me giggling
My trick, I could not awaken
Eagerly I looked for the dreamer
My mind always strays to fictions
I discovered the nightmares
In there stepped an individualist 'unworldliness'
Quoth the sleeplessness, 'Don't go downstairs!'
The superciliousness brought such sorrow
The heaven brought such sorrow
My sleepiness, I could not awaken
Instead I uncovered the idealist
The dread dreamer dozing
The amour never disclosing
Much I marvelled the apolitical irrationalism
That pacifist, pacifist lionising
Take thy lover from out my heart
And so you came gently hissing
How they were dismissing, reminiscing - kissing
And so you came gently thumping
Ah, distinctly I was sleeping
Quoth the beloved, 'Don't go weeping!'
My hell, I could not awaken
I crave the magic, morphean moon
The winsomeness brought such sorrow
You warned me about the high noon
Take thy springsteen from out my heart
Take thy concert hall from out my heart
My mind always strays to nightmares
With apologies to Edgar Allan Poe.

The World That Never Was
"Oh Ellie, a dream isn't always just a dream." I reached toward the cat, almost hoping it would find a way to grab me. Maybe I could reach the window and climb back in? I inched closer and closer before it swiped at me with its paw. "There's no way of avoiding this, Ellie. Enjoy the ride. I'll be seeing you again, very soon." And with a chuckle, it vanished into my shadowy bedroom, as though it was never there. There I was, floating upside down, staring into my bedroom until I couldn't anymore. How did this happen? --- Join Elliot De Leon on an adventure into an entirely different world of magic and witchcraft! There'll be lots of twists and turns, but the ride's a fun one that you won't want to miss!

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the pretty ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.
Void // Billie Eilish
-Sequel to Horns- *Description contains Book 1 spoilers* It's been 2 years since Billie has seen or even heard from Alexis, who practically vanished from Billie's life before she could even process what was happening. Since then her life has become an absolute whirlwind, with her music career really taking off and turning her into a household name all around the globe. At the same time, Alexis has been in prison and eventually witness protection as her court case progressed, until eventually she was allowed back into civilian life on probation. When the two are suddenly thrust back together through pure chance at a dingy dive bar, it doesn't take long for familiar feelings to surface. ~ AU. Though the names of some characters are the same as people in real life, they are still characters. The actions of said characters do not necessarily reflect the views, personality, or actions of the people they're named after and based around.Complete

This is the first book of the My Girl series - "Say it," I said, getting on top of her, and smiling down at her. "Say what?" She asked me, a smile on her face. I gently caressed my thumb along her cheekbone, looking longingly into her eyes. "You know what," she just looked at me. "Come on, I know you want to say it," she tilted her head slightly. "But would you say it back?" My mouth fell open, but I didn't say anything. She let out a small sigh and looked away from me.

Taken Captive
I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again.

She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. β’ β’ β’ The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -Complete
