Carter Mills lives in a world where people are protected by their invisible Guardian Angels, and Nightmares are more than scary dreams-- all unbeknownst by her and the rest of humanity, obviously. A sophomore in high school bullied for striving to defy the status quo in every way shape and form, she's become cynical and untrusting over the years from living with a broken family and her own broken self-worth. 

Everything changes when she's named the Chosen One out of the blue by the mysterious Guardian Council, who plead for her assistance in stopping the Prince of the Nightmares-- she doesn't want to know-- before he succeeds in wiping out Guardian Angel kind and puts all of humanity in danger.

A lot to take in, she agrees. Lucky her, everything's a little easier to deal with when you've got the best friend you never knew you had by your side. 

But what happens when the self-titled Prince is more than a two-dimensional villain? 

What happens when you start wondering which side you should really be on?All Rights Reserved

Invisible String Of Love by Witch_Ethereal

In the dimly lit waiting room of the therapist's office, there's a young woman who looks tense but determined. She just finished her session, feeling relieved yet still troubled. This woman survived a traumatic kidnapping, and you can see the emotional scars in her demeanor. Despite her small size, there's a hidden anger inside her, a result of the injustices she faced. Across from her view another person, quieter but equally significant. They seem restless, constantly shifting their focus. They, too, have a troubled past, having grown up around violence at home.They have ADHD, their mind is always busy, making it hard to concentrate. When the woman leaves, she locks eyes with this person waiting outside. In that brief moment, they understand each other's pain, "He's not actually helping us, is he?" She mumbled softly. Though their lives may never cross again, that simple sentence speaks volumes about their strength and resilience in overcoming their pasts. However, eventually they met again, but in the different place, at the same time, but different day. A delicate connection starts to grow between them, intertwining their lives. Even though they know they'll face difficulties ahead, they see in each other a ray of hope-a possibility for healing, for finding peace, and even for love

Our little arrangement💫 by Ghostwriter455

"Look at me Axel . I'm sorry I never should've- His lips were on mine and I grabbed his waist like it was the most natural thing in the world. His lips felt soft against mine and soon they were brushing against my neck. I stared into his eyes, green beautiful and endless. I thought to myself, this is what I wanted. Axel Williams is the smartest boy in his class maybe in the entire school. He loves homework , avoids parties and is exstremely introverted. Every jock asks him to help them boost their grades and he helps them, keeping him off most bullies lists and earning him enough money for college. Duncan Lawrence is a jock, popular cute and probably any guys hero. He is the football captain and pretty much dominates the school. His only problem is that he's not good with words. What will happen when these two souls meet? Will Duncan make the right choice? Will Axel come to terms with his sexuality? ⚠️THIS STORY CONTAINS BOY X BOY ROMANCE ⚠️

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind. Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy.

Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him. They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship. As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.

As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)
