Just remember, when in doubt, crack a few jokes but don't crack your skull.

Three (History Plays, Book 2)
Summer break? Nah, it's heist time. The heirs to crime family syndicate work together and against each other as twisting plots for dominance run over each other over a piping hot summer. Loosely based on the first half of the Elizabethan Drama, Edward III. Feels like an indie drama. Trigger/ Content Warnings: Rape is discussed at length (no voilence on page). A character believes they are going to be raped. Some sexual innuendos. A teenage character does illegal drugs and drinks on page. Some on page violence. Children commit crimes on page and are encouraged to do so by adults. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. More information below if needed, there are spoilers: A female character believes a male character is going to rape them. This goes on for the majority of the book. There is no violence and the other character never intends to commit rape, however it is implied that he is aware the female character is upset and does not seem to care, however he ceases advances when he realizes she is genuinely afraid of him and not merely nervous. That said the female character spends most of the book contemplating escaping the situation by whatever means necessary.Complete

Stories are written by the winners. Winners who never fail to paint themselves in a 'favorable' light. I've been called evil. Twisted. Strange. Heartless. All fair assessments; I dispute none of these claims. In fact, I hold my head high while confessing to the evil, twisted, strange, and heartless things that I've done. The things, those ignorant of the truth, would condemn. But all people are capable of all things under the right conditions, good or bad. Don't believe me? I dare you to read my story and tell me if you would have--could have--done things differently. One of your most beloved fairy tale classics retold. Get all sides of the story.Complete
