Threads bind each and every being to their fate--romantically, platonically, mere contact with one another is dictated by a single string. Occulents are supernatural beings responsible for tying the existence of humanity into one, cohesive knot--frightening creatures with five tattoos of the All Seeing Eyes dotted across their skin, and golden shears as weapons. Magister in training, Zorah Haldis is well on her way towards obtaining her second All Seeing Eye, when a series of events take a turn for the worst. Her own threads that trap her power as an Occulent begin to unravel as an impending darkness threatens to cut all that bind.

Seven spheres of power
In the vast expanse of the universe, far beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, resided seven celestial beings-siblings born of divine essence. They were the children of the primordial forces, left alone in the stillness of eternity when their great parents departed, leaving the cosmos in their care. Time flowed differently for them; what felt like mere moments stretched into eons, and the siblings grew weary of their solitude. The eldest of the siblings, Seraphine, with her shimmering silver hair and eyes that glimmered like stars, often gazed into the limitless void, longing for companionship beyond their small circle. Her desire to create a world where life could flourish was shared by her brothers and sisters. Thus, a grand idea took root in their hearts: they would each create a world-a sphere-to fill the emptiness surrounding them. As the siblings gathered in their celestial enclave, each brother and sister took turns, weaving their dreams into existence.

He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together. River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most. Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be. But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?Complete

ARROW OF THE GODS
For over 500 years, Cupid has been the unseen force behind countless love stories, guiding hearts toward their destined matches. But for all the passion he has kindled, he has never felt love himself. To him, his gift is a curse-a cruel irony that allows him to spread love but never receive it. That is, until he meets her. A college student with an unshakable fascination for him, she sees past the legend and falls for the lonely soul beneath. Her devotion is unwavering, her love deep and undeniable. But Cupid, jaded by centuries of solitude, cannot believe that love-true, boundless love-could ever be meant for him. Doubt keeps him at a distance, his heart shackled by fear. Yet, slowly, her persistence chips away at the walls he has built. And when he finally recognizes the truth-that she loves him not for what he does, but for who he is-there is no force in the universe strong enough to keep them apart. A tale of fate, vulnerability, and the power of love, Arrow of the Gods is a story of a god who spent centuries creating love-only to find it in the most unexpected place.Complete

Claimed // MikaYuu
A.N. This is a GAY fanfic (duh):MikaYuu In this fanfic Mika is a yandere (if you don't know what that is, look it up) :) Mika is obviously a vampire (this info is for those who are new) and Yuu is human. Enjoy! ~ "Yuu-chan, look at me." He whispers softly. He gently tilts my head up, stroking my cheek. Tears stream down my cheeks and he brushes them away. He's a monster. I can't trust him. I-I...can't. "You are mine. Forever and always. There's nothing you can do about it." He finally addresses the topic from before. I squeeze my eyes shut and shake my head. "N-No p-please...don't d-do this." I sob. My body trembles uncomfortably and he frowns. I don't want to be marked by this monster. "You are mine, Yuu-chan. No one else can have you, do you understand? You will love me." He leans forward and I cringe back. His eyes turn back to dark red. His grip on me tightens. "Love me, Yuu-chan. Love me!" He demands. "I-I....y-you're....p-please..." "Oh no," He whispers. "Now you're afraid...no. No. I need you, Yuu-chan. I need you." "M-Mika p-please...leave me a-alone..." I cry. His face darkens and his hands tremble. "No...no...you are mine...I can't lose you!" He shouts. "Yuu-chan, I don't want to hurt you again. But I'm afraid you leave me no choice." His voice deepens. My eyes widen as he pulls out a sharp dagger from behind him, and his fangs grow sharper. "No no no!" I try to break free from him, but I can't. It's useless. "I'm sorry, Yuu-chan. But I love you too much. You must be mine. Forever." He leans down to my ear and whispers while giving me chills, "Don't look." And everything turns black.Complete
