"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top."
When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse.
A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.

Whispers on Canvas (Liskook)
Lisa stood before her patient's canvas, where chaotic strokes of red and black collided with raw emotion. The lady within seemed nearly invisible amid the intensity. A shiver ran down Lisa's spine as she remembered her first session with Jungkook, his pain wrapping around her like fog. Entranced by the painting, she felt its hues whisper secrets to her. "If you can't be my muse, make me yours," he had once whispered, a haunting echo in her mind. Her heart raced; she knew she couldn't cross that line. He was fragile, emerging from heartbreak. Yet here she stood, caught between desire and professionalism. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note This story touches on mild depression but will not explore it in depth.

Reasons
Cursed as much as blessed with empathy, Ava Monroe can't help herself when someone needs help, physically or mentally. Her escape from the horrors of people's minds is painting, but painting is exactly what leads her to Max. To be fair, she doesn't know who Max is when she meets him. She is drawn to his tortured soul, like a moth to a flame, and it just might be her undoing. However, Max isn't as willing as her brother was to get help with his PTSS, and his missing leg is a physical reminder to him of the horror in his mind and memory. He is ready to call it quits, but finds someone won't let him, someone who is willing to help him fight his battles. Ava doesn't care how dark and ugly it can get, and she is too stubborn to give up. Can Ava help Max find a reason to live? Or will his tortured soul drag her down with him? *Warning: This story might contain sensitive material.

Beneath His Pen
Somewhere between longing and lunacy, he found her. Not in a dream. Not in a poem. But in the corner of a café, alone with a book and the kind of silence only broken souls understand. She didn't look at him. Not even once. And maybe that's why his fingers trembled around the pen for the first time in years. Lyra Selena. He didn't know her name yet. But he would. Oh, he would. Because Lucien Vale didn't write for the world anymore. He wrote for her. About her. To her. And if the ink bled too deep-if obsession laced the edges of every verse- then so be it. The world called him a genius. She would call him something else entirely. --- "Tell me, little muse ..." "Will you run before the story ends?" ---Complete
