In this parallel, totalitarian society, beauty is not all that it seems.
Fifteen year old Casey's earliest childhood memory is of people looking away from her, horrified by her appearance. Her 8th surgery to look what is considered "normal" has failed, and her life takes an unexpected turn when she is sent to a segregated colony of people just like her. But here is the question that comes to mind. What kind of a world is it where ugliness is the norm and beauty the deviation?
All that to say that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

Limitations (Creepypasta x reader)
Everyone has their limits and when we're pushed to the edge we break. (Y/n) has been through a lot and is only 16 years old. She has lived in the Slender mansion since age 5, having the four faceless brothers as father's but was sent back to her mother at age 10. Her experience in the mansion was fun... for the most part. Something within Slender changed 1 year into (Y/n)'s stay and he now acts as if he hates her. Now that her mother is dead, she goes back to the mansion in hopes of reconnecting with the brothers. All seem to welcome her with open arms, except one. Just the dramas of a cannibalistic teenage girl, her abnormal group of friends, killer housemates and faceless dads. (I don't own the creepypasta's but I do own my OC's, Warning: Contains gore, murder, cannibalism, sad stuff, self-harm, suicide)Complete
Loading Game
Loading Game... Building Sceneries... Creating- romance? Parallel. It's a common word. You can probably hear your math teacher screaming that word in a kid's face, can't you? However, that won't be the case here. This is about parallel worlds. For Meredith and Lukas, they didn't find that out so quickly. Bullied and shunned for being the daughter of two famous and quite elite people, the students in Meredith Tanner's high school drove her off the cliff, resulting in therapy sessions once a week. Lukas James was in a different situation. He dropped out of high school (which disappointed his parents) and became a YouTuber, live-streaming games of generation A to Z. The two depressive teenagers didn't expect anything to change. She would continue therapy and never recover from the bullying and screeching suicidal thoughts, remaining as her high school's social outcast. He would continue to disappoint his parents by streaming on YouTube for attention instead of getting an education like his sisters. That's until a game changed their lives. "Parallel". The game was released, becoming #1 on the top gaming charts, which fancied both the teens' interests. Lukas was requested to play this game upon his subscribers. Meredith was requested to play this game in hopes of raising her socialization. However, something behind the game was unlike any level to pass- something dangerous. One game. That's what destiny was betting on. Two individuals. That's what destiny pitched in on. One unfortunate love story. That's what destiny never calculated. ~~~ "Love is a game, Lukas. You're barely making it past Level One! This isn't a labyrinth, stupid. It's a straight hall with different doors, and you keep opening those doors and refuse to walk forward." "I refuse to walk forward..." I repeated in a murmur, hanging my head low. She's right. I keep telling myself I can't go there; it's off limits. But I can see the end of the hall.Complete
