Author's Note: This is the short-story that I used to apply to the Governor's School for the Arts, and thus far it has been very well received.
This is a romance, but not the conventional sort. There are no steamy moments or sweet nothings, but it is a romance, nonetheless.
Lucasta has made innumerable sacrifices to earn the love of a man who doesn't know she exists. One night she decides to make one more.

Personal Lock Down (Jeff The Killer X Reader)~Creepypasta
'You know I'm not actually crazy,' His icy voice sent shivers throughout my body. 'Right?' Signals of warning spread like a forest fire inside my head. Something inside told me to get back, get away from this man, it's only logical, but I felt like I would regret it if I moved away from him. He can't kill me, he can't kill Tom. That was the agreement. I'm not afraid of you. You are only a man who's very troubled. A bad man who takes pleasure in other's pain. You've had bad things happen to you and that's why you are where you are. Simply traumatized and you cope with murder. 'I don't believe you.' __________________ (Name) was a girl who was considered troublesome. Her parents died in a car crash when she was eight years old and her Uncle Tom -who she cared for deeply- took her in. Tom was a business man, living his dream with nothing but good things to say. However, due to certain circumstances, he has to go to Europe. What happens when Tom gives (Name) a chance to live on her own at the age of 17 or move with him because of his job? What happens when a serial killer comes in the picture? What happens when (Name) puts herself on personal lock down? _____________________________ I do not own any of of the pictures!

His Muse ✓
Nic was almost positive he had never encountered a more perfect, beautiful, inspiring stranger before this sudden walk-by. They had the sort of presence that knocked the air out of him, the words out of his mouth, and so... he never learned the name of said stranger. But when his accidental "WANTED" signs catch the notice of his peers, he's steered in the direction that's closer fit to the path his future muse leads. Kieran is... a mystery. Maybe it's his aloofness that makes him so broodingly calm. Whatever the case, Nic becomes determined to draw that idiot's face into oblivion, even if there's little chance of a romance happening between them. But sometimes showing appreciation for the person you love happens to be from afar, and with a pencil and paper in hand.Complete
