Beneath the vibrant city of Mallinasport, awash in the pollution is Imus, a community as bleak as the futures of those who live there. 
With little food or water, it's all Aeris can do to make it day by day and keep the shop her father left her running.  When the fabled circus returns, it brings a small reprieve from daily life.

Or so it seems until Aeris is delivered a mysterious warning and a boy falls from the sky. Darkness haunts the night, taking people with it. Aeris finds herself captive in a twisted and barbaric ploy for power, in a world forgotten beneath the city.

Enlisting the help of a fellow captive, they must plan their escape before Aeris is sent to the arena, or killed.

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

"No, I'm doing it because I want to," he says, removing his head from my neck to look at me, his beautiful emerald eyes shining with wonder. Something I've never seen before. "Well, you don't look half bad yourself,"

Of Shadows and Darkness by Emi_Lewis

Now Gregor is stranded in a dimension not his own without magic. Tristan agrees to help him get home, the least he could do because it was mostly his fault (and totally not because he has a crush on Gregor, or because of Gregor's compulsion magic or because he kissed him.) But then everything goes wrong when they get attacked by fire elementals who work for the demon Earl Alfred of Aleman who is also after Gregor's magic. The elemental manages to steal the shadow and now Gregor and Tristan must travel through different dimensions to get the shadow back and slip the Earl and his henchmen in the process.

The Demon's Prince by MarlesBells

Ithiriel, the firstborn prince of the fae, has lived his entire life under the oppressive rule of his father, King Anaros. Known for his icy composure and unwavering control, he carries the burdens of the kingdom in silence, his emotions buried deep beneath a mask of stoicism. His connection to the land is his only escape-an ancient, grounding power that heals as much as it isolates. But when a brewing rebellion threatens the Kings plan for expansion, Ithiriel is forced to face a new, far more dangerous enemy. Zaroth, a powerful demon loyal only to his dark king, has long upheld the balance of a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Ruthless, methodical, and detached, he lives for control. But when he's assigned to keep watch over Ithiriel and thwart King Anaros' dangerous ambitions, Zaroth discovers something he never expected-an obsession with the fae prince that disrupts his carefully constructed world. Caught between duty and desire, Ithiriel and Zaroth are drawn together in a bond that defies every boundary set before them. The prince finds himself torn not only between the cruel demands of his father but also the unfamiliar pull of his own heart. - This blurb will probably change. A lot of trigger warnings, please heed them.

The Curse of Water by thegoldendaughter

He stood on the steep drop towering over the poisonous raging blue waves. The boy inched closer to the centre of the world, his past looping it's technicolour reel before his eyes. The bottomless pit which ruled his nightmares awaited all those unfit for life in a world set in the yet unwritten pages of history. It was an end he had always been told he deserved by his very own father, being one of the rare few born with no supernatural talent in this place where magical powers dictated your worth. Marcus was a dark mark on the royal family's powerful reputation, and proving his right to be alive was a daily struggle, he was about to give up on for good. Surviving a tournament or a revolution were no longer his main concerns. The weight of a dying world lay heavily on his shoulders, and a kingdom's fate depended upon the answer to one question. Will his dive into the cursed water bring about a new start, or will the journey end at the bottom of the well?

Every child knows it even little Alyssa who has just turned twelve years old and is finally old enough to go to Raven's School of Magic. Her parents are happy for her, but also haunted and protective due to the loss of her twin. For years Ally has been plagued with sudden pain that leaves her unable to move or even scream.

And is he somewhere suffering at the hands of the dark one? Ally is soon chosen to be entered the good side of magic school as many expected. However, on the same night, a boy from a well-known evil family is chosen to be in the good side as well. Many people believe that this child is chosen by the Dark One to destroy them all. What will Ally do? Will she befriend the boy or will she turn her back on him?

Vanilla Dusk ✓ by dreamyloner

⚠️ Warning: angst, tragedy, major character's death --- Elli returns the kiss passionately. Their very first and last official kiss. Everything is engulfed in a colossal mushroom cloud. All that remains is a dry, flat wasteland where life starts anew. Elli would love to tell Jónas with his very last breath, that he has found his true love miraculously on the battlefield. And so absurdly, there is something beautiful to cling to, even in the worst place on Earth. --- E and S are two compatible Soul Collectors who work for the Underworld to collect human souls and guide them through a series of trials. One day, E is enticed by a demon and defies the protocol which forbids him to harbour any sentiments towards humans. S, as E's accomplice in one of the missions, fails to retrieve two human souls and the two are subsequently subject to retribution. They are exiled from the Underworld and forced to go through four agonising reincarnations, reborn as two teenage boys caught in a tormenting time loop; an android and a traumatised painter in a futuristic metropolis; a mutant and a surviving human in a post-apocalyptic realm; and two juvenile soldiers struggling to survive in WWIII. A boy x boy angsty romance.
