gothic magic paranormal romance short

A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to write a short story and asked what genre I should write. The suggestions were, Gothic, with Magic, Paranormal and Horror.

This is my attempt at all the above. Except maybe horror.  I don't think I managed to get too much horror in this, apart from the heroine's Aunt Helen.All Rights Reserved

Keri and Maia are complete strangers yet go to the same school. Maia is the captain of the Girls' Soccer team whereas Keri is the former Cheerleader Captain.

Pride {l.s.} by raindropkiss1

Louis Tomlinson has tried so hard to not be who he really is. He has worked for years to not be a person that people don't accept. The walls he built are slowly torn down by a tall boy with green eyes. Add Louis, Harry Styles, a pride parade, and a kiss together, and there's a story full of love and someone learning that it's okay to love boys because love is love, right? (Louis is a painter who hides his sexuality. Harry is a wedding photographer who embraces his gay pride. Liam and Zayn most certainly have a thing going on, and Niall is content just trying to open a restaurant.) Cover by @stiles24stilinskiXD

Mondo Pastello | girlxgirl | Completed♕ by Digital-Galaxy

She was the type to stare herself in the mirror and see someone else stare back. Someone who was free and light, being able to spread her wings like an unbound angel. She was neither chained to Heaven nor Hell. Howbeit, no matter how far she reached into the mirror, she could never step through as her ball-and-chain presented itself in the form of a crown. She was a princess with two faces, desperately trying to have a sense of freedom outside of her royal obligations. She found it in the form of a weakness: a passion with another human being. Her love for him and ballet had kept her chin high; her crown not slipping from her pastel hair. So why, why did it suddenly become so hard when a gothic gymnastic back-flipped into her life? Why were her heartstrings being tugged on by someone of her same gender? Why was it suddenly so difficult, so strenuous to keep living in her pastel world when this mysterious girl brought such bright colours with her? TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of sex, suicide and other mature themes will be contained within this book. Read at your own discretion.

Angels and Wormholes by David_Shultz

A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy.

Perspectives by Miss_Madeline

Piper Douglas long ago accepted that her life was just meant to be sucky. After her parents' divorce, she developed something of a bad attitude, causing all but one of her friends to leave her behind. However, things take on a whole new level of sucky when Piper finds herself suddenly and inexplicably transported to another dimension, a dimension in which Piper is four inches tall relative to everything else. Things become more and more complicated when she runs into a giant teenage boy with an attitude to rival her own. New cover by: gwengreenwich
