The Demon's of our Past by XxAceMisXx

After regaining her memories of her past life, Logan is thrown into a world of confusion with nothing left to do but to carry on. With the responsibility of saving the world, she also has to come to terms with not only defeating the demons of the world, but defeating the demons of her past. With ten lives in total, and three lives remaining, will she be able to defeat the demon's brother or will the bloodshed continue on for another lifetime? Warning for readers, there are heavy themes discussed and experienced such as child SA, abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and suicidal ideation. While this story is of an angel and demon reincarnation, it's also about her overcoming her past while being put in a tough spot. Logan is not pretty, she is not linear, and is the definition of how hard it is to overcome trauma when given a major curve ball in life.

Her Own Wings by dawntexas

Liz grew up in a house that looked picture perfect. A Mother, Father and younger sister. Looks are deceiving. Sir, her father, is an alcoholic and drug abuser. When he's sober, he's the greatest guy to be around. When drunk, he's someone to avoid. Liz learned at a young age it was better to be seen and not heard. When Sir got drunk, Liz stayed in her room and struggled to be quiet so she didn't draw attention to herself. She began using her imagination at a young age to self soothe. Liz had a full family, who were loving and supporting in her imaginary world. As she got older, her imaginary world changed. Gone were the fantastical beasts from her childhood, sand replaced with her imaginary perfect family, perfect boyfriend, perfect everything. When things got tough, Liz escaped reality. Now, as an adult, wife and mother, when tragedy strikes she finally needs to learn to live fully in the real world. Can she give up her perfect world?

The Ardent and The Bard by smzipp

Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories. That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation. ---------------------------------- This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself. If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early. Thank you for your time. ~-~smzippyy

Jo's brothers are his world. He's spent his entire life sacrificing everything to give them the life he's never had. Having battled through a horrific childhood, his every breath is for the benefit of his brothers, who gave him a reason to live through those years. It is an act of selflessness that throws him in the path of a woman who actually sees him, not just his scars. Rachel not only recognizes his worth, but is willing to step into his life and share his experiences, no matter how difficult. Despite their mutual attraction, the past and present seem determined to keep them apart. Jo faces another battle: this time against prejudice, past threats, and most powerful of all, the demons inside his head.
