This book is currently on hold and unfinished.  To tell the truth, I'm probably never going to pic it up again, so I do not recommend reading it as it goes 

Watson once thought he was the Dark Lord of All, creator of nightmares, bringer of evil.
    He was wrong.
    Now on the run, Watson's only hope resides with a mysterious book. A book that his relentless pursuers will do anything to gain.
    Accompanied by a mysterious baker who uses a questionable meat in her pie and a woman who can wield a sword like no one else, Watson must navigate his ways through the treacherous city, in an attempt to survive.

"Ooh I'm into this! It's enticing, it's witty, and I'm here for all of it.
I'm glad you made sure to put down the Dark Lord cliche, rather than going with it."
     - @Oniriste

"Oh this is brilliant😂 can't wait to read the rest"
     - @dreamingsleeping

"Fantastic beginning!"
     - @8BadBunny8

"Great start!  Really liked the combination of humor and sheer awkward of the situation, that I found myself chuckling at Watson's attempts to scare Mylan. Poor guy.  He's trying so hard to fulfill his role, but can't get it right just yet...."
     - @imallears2012

"I like this chapter so much! The humor and awkwardness combined made me laugh the whole time I was reading it. I should read more. Great job on hooking me to your story."

I See You by January616

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

When the Raven Calls by Earthstone

A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, MAGIC VANISHED FROM THE KINGDOM OF ILLVONYA. Now, it's been returning, and just in time to cause a whole lot of trouble for the Thieves' Guild of Archport--like they didn't have enough to deal with, working with the Raven Associates to smuggle slaves out of Evaren (a neighboring nation), keeping their reputation as a group of fearless criminals, and keeping their identities a secret. There's just one thing that no one knows: it's a group of teenagers. With unforeseen complications arising and a country that seems to be teetering on the edge of chaos, it's all they can do to keep their heads above the water. But when Sam begins to develop abilities after coming into contact with an ancient artifact and the people with abilities, or the Tainted, start to be grabbed in night raids and thrown in jail or up for public executions, they know it's only a matter of time before they are forced to become more involved. Little do they know the full extent of what's coming... With a goddess-given mission and the fight of their lives close approaching, can these rag-tag heroes pull themselves together in time to save the kingdom and themselves? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everyone! This is a high-fantasy novel with a good dash of humor, so please check it out!! This is also my NaNoWriMo project, so frequent updates (at least in November 2015).

Zane Wilder by whitemooonlight

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...

Runaway by lebanerd

I ran, and I ran, and I ran, trying to get as far away from the mansion as possible. I was too weak to shift, but my determination kept me running. The house disappeared from my line of vision, and I was soon surrounded by greens. I didn't know where I was going, and at this moment, I didn't care. I was officially a fugitive. Angry screams followed by howls echoed through the forest: they noticed my absence. I let out an airy laugh. I was a runaway, but I was free. Finally free. -- [Completed + Under Major Editing] Some comments that I really appreciated: "please continue. it sounds really interesting!!!" ~GalaxyWolf78 "AHSJSKZUZIDNANSN?? *^^^^^*" ~Sarah-Senpaii "MORE MORE I NEED MOAR OF MY DAILY VITAMINS" ~Sarah-Senpaii "Love this book" ~DisneyisEternal "Awwweeeeeeeeeee sooooooooo ccuuuuuttteeeeeee aaannnddd AWESOME!" ~CrownofSpades "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!" ~dustbunny101 "SAVAGE" ~TrustMe_ImFine "omg no way" ~dimatabbara "*sighs* " ~lolitscherish "Lol. Thumbs up 4 randomness. " ~Mocha15Years "No!! That's not allowed to happen. Radiance and Kevin had bonding time then you were just like, "la di da di da.... Let's just screw with every bodies minds and [spoiler that I censored]. I'm sure they'd have absolutely no problem with that as an ending of the first book..." Wanna know what I think about that?!? I think you are an awesome author who knows how to drive their readers crazy. I have respect for that and hope you start the next book soon please....." ~angelic_illusions "Omg I need more wat happen I'm crying like crazy right now O MYYYYYY GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD I love this book so much I want more pllllllllzzzzzzzzzx" ~faith133 Me: I'm sorry for killing a few people during the story GabyDart: "'A few' Means half the cast and the main is almost, if not, mortally wounded."

The New Girl by Valery_Mullagaleev

The New Girl is madness in a miniskirt with a knife on her belt. Her startup? Selling her spit to classmates as a magic lotion. A date with her means a trip to the local Fight Club (tell no one), stealing an ice cream fridge from a summer park, and mystic rituals in the wild forest. She says: "Cosmic black fire burns from within-burn with joy!" I dared to approach her and became her favorite victim. *** These are fun, spicy stories of reckless antics, where love smells not of roses, but of sweaty stockings. Here the Nietzschean abyss smiles, and Holden Caulfield's rye waves above it. He downed a shot of Bukowski's poetry and enrolled in Tyler's Fight Club. It's Tarantino filming "To Kill a Mockingbird" in a Russian school. This is a story about loving someone made of shards-where sunlight glitters brightest on the sharp edges. *** For mature readers 18+. Features: dark humor, explicit content, violence, psychological complexity, speckled-grey morality, and unconventional female-led power dynamics.

The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic by misspurrple

The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Game scenes may appear with new context, expanded dialogue, or darker consequences. Leave comments, theories, chaos, pain. I read them all like they're letters from Azkaban. Thank you for being here. And good luck. You'll need it. - misspurrple

F.R.E.A.K.S. - short story collection (eventually) | 18+, BDSMish by paleverse

Welcome to my Facility for Research into Erotica And Kinky Stuff. This will be a collection of somewhat experimental stories that were born from my growing awareness that I'm really bad at writing smut ( and descriptions in general, and emotions, but... baby steps.) Don't expect wall-to-wall sex, though; that wouldn't be literature, just a regular WFH Tuesday. These are still going to be actual stories with an actual plot - in some cases, even a good one, if I pull it off. Just that each time my instinct will tell me to cut, go roundabout, or fade to black, I'll force myself to lean in instead, and may fate have mercy on us all. Currently, I have: Haute Cuisine -- A full of twists, dystopian, cyberpunk-lite story about what is scarier, high-tech cannibalism or late-stage capitalism. And it's all just one date night. NOW PUBLISHED STANDALONE, CHECK THAT ONE. Execution Device 14 -- don't read that one, it's nasty. The oldest story from my current bout of writing activity, and oh boy, it shows-pure erotic horror, distasteful and lacking any depth. Still pretty original, I think, something like a mix of J-horror, SCP, and weird porn. Bring eye bleach. Demographic Defence Corps: Inspection -- an extended middle chapter from a future novel about militarized breeding fetish, but the focus is not on abuse but being gaslighted into badassery. Think Starship Troopers, but with dicks instead of bugs. ....and that's all. But there will be more, some day. Please make sure to mind the individual preface pages with their warnings. Jokes aside, this is going to get rough. ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst. Three years later, what if the girl is back, with baggage that she doesn't think anyone could handle? What will happen when they meet? Will the sparks ignite again?
