{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

He's my father(creepy pasta) by CreepcakeTheReaper

-+-+-+-+- For years I've been made fun of because of my hair, it's softer than silk, it doesn't make knots, it's never been to long or to short(at least not for me), it flows in the wind and is easy to style, but it's white. And I finally found out why... -+-+-+-+- Rebecca was always different, that's why she got bullied. She was the town black sheep. Since she could remember, she always felt like someone was watching her. But it didn't creep her out, strangely it comforted her.

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.

Moonlit Hearts by envy_ray58879

In a small, misty town nestled at the edge of a vast, enchanted forest, lives Elena, a young woman with a mysterious past she can't remember. She's always felt drawn to the forest, even though the townspeople warn of dangerous creatures that lurk within it under the full moon. One evening, while wandering near its edge, she encounters a wounded wolf with eyes that seem unnervingly human. Against her better judgment, she helps it, only for the creature to disappear by morning. Days later, a mysterious stranger, Lucas, arrives in town. Handsome and rugged, Lucas has a dark, secretive air. He seems strangely familiar to Elena, and as they grow closer, she notices that he always vanishes on the nights of the full moon. Her curiosity soon leads her to a discovery - Lucas is a werewolf, cursed to transform every full moon, struggling to balance his humanity and the beast within. As their love deepens, Elena learns that the curse isn't just his - it's part of her forgotten past as well. The bond between them isn't accidental but destined. Elena's family had been part of a lineage of protectors, those who once safeguarded the world from the wrath of werewolves but were wiped out in a tragic betrayal. Now, Elena is the last of her kind, the key to breaking the curse, but only by facing unimaginable danger. Lucas and Elena must navigate their growing love, while also dealing with rival werewolves, a mysterious witch, and the secrets that have been buried deep within the forest. Together, they must decide whether love is strong enough to tame the beast - or whether the beast will destroy everything they hold dear.

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.)

My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series) by Chinesechickens123

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.

PROUD - ON HOLD by yesimbetter

-NOT ON TOTAL HOLD BUT I RARELY UPDATE SO IT MIGHT AS WELL BE CALLED ON HOLD- Once upon a time there lived a girl. The fairest maiden on her block. She lived a easy and humble life but just like any other story that was turned upside down. With ballroom dancing and locker notes. With science explosions and late night drives. With cooking catastrophes and night time reading. Thinking how life could get any better with him. It couldn't. It doesn't. ------ Hazel Gomez Sweet. Witty. Funny. Lovely. A real charm. Alexander Williams. Self-centered. Sarcastic. Adventurous. Rich. Worlds collide and fall in love. For the time being. For the 24 months she has to live then go back to her normal peasant life. ---- "C'mon sweetheart, don't sit there and pout you know you love me" I did. But I didn't want him to know that. I smile up at him. "In your dreams Alexander, the only thing I love is food." He scoffs and smiles down looking into my eyes. Don't smile at me like that Alex. I cant take it. He leans down to meet my ear and I swear I can hear my heart thump a thousand miles an hour. "That's not what you said last night when I had you tied up" he husks "I believe you were begging me to pound into you, yes? To shove my length inside you and let you cum? I believe you loved that, hm?" Shit. ---- -slow burning romance- -happy ending-

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. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.
