Atlantis was the first city to sink. Hundreds of cities followed, and millions of people drowned, swallowed by an unforgiving ocean. It seemed as if half the world was underwater.
Among the few survivors was Ayesha Akhdir. In a post-apocalyptic world, Ayesha must navigate visions and voices, discovering abilities she can't explain.
Ayesha soon meets others who have survived, each with their own unique abilities.
She doesn't know why she's survived or what her purpose is. She doesn't have long to find out.
"Just as the wave prepared to crash down and engulf the land, swallowing everyone on it, blinding pain erupted in my head, sending me staggering away from the window.
Before everything fell black I heard a familiar voice roar in my mind.
'THE BEGINNING IS NIGH!'"
The Beginning of what?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

"I am in absolute awe of your imagination! It knows no bounds."
"I am left feeling quite breathless by the way you paint your scenes. It must be a quite incredible place inside your mind!!"

*This is a work of fanfiction based on Kresley Cole's 'The Arcana Chronicles'. It is written so that you don't need to have read the series to understand it so don't be deterred. Actually, those who have not read the series will likely get more out of my story. Some of the lines are the same for reasons that do mesh with the canon text.*

Tell Me Why You Love Me
"Anyway, that piece of paper contains the name of this texting app. It's completely anonymous, so you can download it, make your account with no attachments to your personal life, and communicate with me outside our suits. I included my username on the paper, too, so you can add me once you're done." Her partner skimmed through the words on the paper and nodded his head. "Brilliant as always, M'lady. I'm surprised we didn't figure this out sooner within our superhero careers." "Yeah, it would've been nice to have this before, but hey, better late than never. Make sure not to have your phone screen on the messages if you're going to leave it somewhere. We don't want anyone reading our texts. Also, this is for emergencies only. No jokes or puns. I can only deal with you for so long." "I don't know if I can agree to that last one," he said. Now 22 and working full-time, Marinette and Adrien seem to be getting busier and busier, which means fewer opportunities to keep track of akumas and show up on time. With the idea of using a messaging app to communicate with each other without revealing their identities, their lives immediately grew to be easier... until it wasn't. **Fanfic has been transferred from Ao3.

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

🌃 Eruleum's King
After defeating Lilith and escaping Edom, the TMI gang finally returns to their common lifes in New York, ready to figure out different issues from demons, such as love. Magnus and Alec, for instance, were the perfect example of that brand new feeling that joined them. What they wasn't expecting was the sudden arrival to the Institute of a stranger that soon, would end that normality and tranquility, helplessly involving them into another adventure. Eruleum threatened them and they were about to experiment the coldness and somberness coming directly from that forgotten kingdom. Like the sun and the moon, Edom and Eruleum were nothing alike, yet sharing a close bond. Each member of the gang will be forced to face their deepest and most horrid fears in a kingdom where there was no place for hope or joy, just freezing cold mechanisms, metal, a permanent double moon, a king thirsty with revenge. TMI gang went to Edom and came back, but would they be able to dodge Eruleum's fierceness too? Would they save the World from an unavoidable storm? They fought fire, it was high time to face ice. Are you ready to start this journey? Are you ready to discover new worlds? Eruleum's King promises action, passionate and unconditional love, new relationships, new bonds, new and unique characters. The thin line that separates hell from heaven, evil from goodness is harder to distinguish than ever. Not everything is as it seems, love is not always precious. Madness has the capacity to poison it. Join this journey, do not let appearances fool you and remember that all the legends are true. • Find this FanFic and more on my Instagram: @/_another_shadowhunter @/_another_shadowhunter_writesComplete

Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete![The Ark of War (Crossover x Emperor male reader) [BEING REPLACED/SOFT REBOOT]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/327646392-256-k369445.jpg)

Have you ever felt lost in time that you needed an escape, or that you were so lost in your thoughts that you needed to snap back into reality? You manage to put your fantasies aside as you take on a journey in high school, meeting new friends and finding true love. Which also led to drama, sadness, madness and mystery. --- Laurance/ Gene x Reader --- - I do not own any of the characters or dialogue in this story other than some of my original characters and dialogue. full credit goes to Aphmau for her characters and everything that's mentioned about her channel and storyline. This story is based on Phoenix Drop High ( first season and so on ) Full credit goes to Aphmau. I don't own Phoenix drop high. The fanfic is still on going but it has 3 segments of the story, currently still on 3 if I add more it depends. 1st is the beginning of your school year, PDH S1 2nd is PDH S2 3rd is after the events of s2 but still in your 2nd year leaning to your 3rd Keep in mind, most of the series was in Aphs POV so not everything there will be added and there will be changes. ---- As I said, based this Laurance/ Gene x Reader around Phoenix Drop High and will move forward with this story as the main characters get older. The ages are like between 15/18 for most of the young characters, obviously 🥲😭 It's a Laurance X reader in the beginning but it will have Gene involved further on in the story, and yeah I know Gene is not that nice in the beginning but he changes. I'll try to add my characters and stuff. Also if any of you find this cringe, don't read it. IDC, This is meant for simps. I may not be the best at writing but I'm happy with this fanfic. Also if I add ideas to what you may have on or what your hairstyle is, things like that just know you can imagine yourself however you like. It's just an option cause I know it's not a self-insert if you describe the character. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my fanfic ❤️
