{I love the silent hour of night, for blissful dreams may then arise, revealing to my charmed sight what may not bless my waking eyes ~ Anne Brontë}

I was a modest and unadorned woman.  While the world viewed my sister, ever so elaborate, with awe-stricken, widened eyes, I sunk into the shadows and remained unnoticed.  If you were to search up the word "mundane" in the English dictionary, you would see the name "Sage Elliot" in bold lettering.  Any human being with sense could see that I was nothing special.  I was born in a wearisome fashion and had persisted in being unvaried since then.  But the truth is, although I rant about my monotonous personality, I loved living my life this way.  It was a tranquil paradise where I did not have to worry about all of the eyes in the room falling on me when I made a mistake.  Peaceful.  How curious that life took that peaceful paradise from me in a mere second.All Rights Reserved

Back In time by creammeier

"Well then, there must be a reason why you aren't able to keep your eyes off me in the market today, Miss Wellesley." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my back. "Don't flatter yourself," I took a step back, "it's just that you're the first person I think the word 'ugly' stands for." "Deny all you want, sweetheart." He inched closer and leaned into my ear, "but your face says it all." ___________________ Are you aware of how people lived in the 1800s? Well, I for one, do not. But little did I expect myself to be hurled back in time, to a world where I will have an experience of a lifetime. Meet Ava Winters, a normal and mundane girl who got her heart broken when she stumbled upon her cheating boyfriend with the school's most popular girl. Heartbroken, she shuts herself from the world, only to be left bitter and desolate. But what happens when she finds herself propelled into the Victorian Era? What were the adventures that lay before her? What will she do if she finds herself falling for the big-headed jerk, Nicholas Alexander Clayton? Book 2 is out! Disclaimer: This story has been tweaked from from the original plot that I had in mind. Also, it is purely fictional. I am not an expert in the study of the Victorian Era nor am I aware of the things and activities that people do in those days.

Held On Mute [Michael Myers FF] by Espeones

C O M P L E T E D ✔ (EDITING ABANDONED) [Michael Myers x Mute!(Fem) Reader (Dead by Daylight FF)] You never understood why you were brought into the Entity's realm. You're lack of speech wasn't helpful when it came to much. As your teammates wouldn't know what you would want to say or do, but you could make a sound close to a scream. So at least they know when you're hurt... You were a special case- mute yes- but you always had strange thoughts and reactions to things compared to others. For one, you were always attracted to others eyes, always wanting to know what they held. In the realm of the Entity you found yourself attracting the attention of a killer, a killer who was set on sacrifice and described as both merciless and ruthless. A killer that used to be your old friend. One with dark eyes you haven't forgotten after so many years. _____________ After the "My Child" book I wanted to write a Michael x Reader one... well here it is.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) by kfacecookie

A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.

Our Prince (Creepypasta × Male! Reader) by SquishySmithIII

All the stories are true. All of the sightings, the myths, the legends, the encounters.

Slenderman saw great potential in you when, even on your last beats of strength, managed to take down his Proxies and Jeff the Killer. Slowly, but surely, the Pastas nursed you back to health and sharpened your abilities to their maximum. This was it, you finally had a group of friends you could call family. All was good. Well, in your life, at least. The truth is, you're being hunted. By none other than the most powerful demon that could ever roam this earth, Zalgo, Lord of the Underealm. And, to your uncomfort, your father. Ever since you had fought him and fled his kingdom, he has done everything in his power to torment you into returning home. You vowed to Slenderman that you would never leave and betray the Creeps. You couldn't. After all they had done for you? But how long can your promise last? Will Zalgo manage to break you? And who will be strong enough to stay by your side? Warning: major swearing *cough cough* Jeffrey Woods *cough cough* This is also a Male!Reader × Jane the Killer story. Even though, yes, I know she's lesbian but let a guy dream (even though I'm not a guy)!

Marked (Fem Creepypasta x Child Reader) by Unidentified562

You were just an introverted child and your older brother was extremely extroverted with his friends. While you were a gamer online, your brother would do all sorts of stuff to post online. One day, your brother and his friends do a ritual out in the woods from an article online... Summon Slenderwoman. What was thought to be a joke would be a nightmare and as for you, a whole new beginning. You met a new online friend who gets you free games, the school nurse at the k-12 school went missing so they found a temp replacement, and you heard a sound one day from the backyard then for a moment saw a 8-foot tall woman in a straw hat and white dress looking at you. More are to come. What will they do to you?

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person.

After a week of being paranoid of everyone and everything, your foster parents go on a business trip. You know that whoever is after you, will attack soon. Will you survive the attack? Who has been watching you and what do they want with you?

Eyes of the Divine (Yandere!Eyeless Jack X GN!Reader) by jarofrottenapples

[currently undergoing major editing / rewriting] You thought you'd seen it all: clowns, a tall faceless guy who had arms longer than his torso, and a man with a smile cut into his face. After spending so many years seeing what shouldn't be seen, you were completely and utterly unbothered. So you thought. When you were handed the opportunity to spite your childhood nightmare, you took it, accepting that you would have to interact with one of his minions. He was polite, funny, and appreciative, so what could go wrong? Surely you weren't going to fulfil both of his dreams at once. (this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators, as do any images used. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work. this is not a romanticisation.)
