(On hold until July)

'I stare at my reflection in the mirror. My matted red hair, pale skin, and ironically, bright green eyes. They are the last remaining hint of my once carefree personality. A sign that Michael will never break me... '

Alekzandra grew up in the nation of Herakleum. Kill to survive. Thats the unspoken rule. With both parents dead and  an abusive step-father and step-brother, there is nothing left for her. Until the recruitment ceremony. 
Each year, all 19 year olds have to survive two and a half days in 'the caves', awaiting ambushes, bombings, and firing squads. Whoever survives unscathed is welcomed into society. Those that survive injured,are cast out. Surviving the recruitment ceremony means Alekzandra will have to live the rest of her life under her step-fathers rule. Not surviving means death.  Death means she failed, both her parents and herself. And that is the last thing she wants to do.

Mystery Man by GrapesFunction

Mikhail has always been an active member of society, at least that is what he claims. That part of him slowly drifted away as he grew older due to his father's tragic passing. After his passing he found himself caught up as his mother's right hand man. He does everything from spying down to assassinations, nothing is off the table. For that reason he's unliked by many that don't even know him. He's a behind the scenes type of guy he didn't choose to be there but he grew accustomed to it. Mikhail doesn't care for his job as much as he might let on. All he cares about is saving face before his mother. Who knows when she'll get tired of him and marry him off to some rich alpha? Mikhail's real purpose behind being her right hand man is to figure out once and for all how his father really died. There are too many coincidences to confidently say that he was killed in a freak accident. Mikhail isn't expecting the organization his mother hates with a passion to suddenly be super interested in his father's death too. And never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that his mother would team up with that organization to uncover the truth behind his death. Will Mikhail be able to remain in the shadows or is it finally time to show his face?

Pearl Academy I The Emergence by queen_narix

The night is dark. There's no moon, no stars. We rush through the thicket of the woods. The sound we hear is the pounding of our running feet. We run into low hanging branches, fighting against them until we stumble until a clearing. My partner grabs my arm and leads me down another path. "Wait! Where are the others?" I shake my arm from their grasp. "Where are they?" There was a stillness to the dark woods. The type of stillness that holds danger within its shadows. "They'll be fine!" I get pulled back down the path that I was being led to anyhow. "They know what to do. They won't find us if we stay separated." I ran alongside my hidden pair. The moon is at its peak at night. It shows us the way. "It's not him I am worried about, Sunistral. It's her." I hear a sharp breath behind us. I swear it was! But it was disguised as a searing gust of cold wind. When I looked back, there was nothing. Just an endless pit of darkness. It was then that I knew that it had found us. This dream somehow finds me ever night. And every night I wake up in absolute confusion. I have no memory of my parents or where I came from. The only true constant of my existence is the visits that my nightmares make at night and during the day. I have yet to understand the echos of them. Until I find myself where it all began: at Pearl Academy.

Interrupted Journey by GarethN

One simple rule: anyone trying to cross the bridge must die. A simple journey interrupted by the sudden failure of all electronics; stuck miles from the rest of the family; we struggled to even return home as society started to crumble around us. As it became clear that this more than a local problem and that no help was coming from outside, we retreated to the remote family farmhouse with relatives and trusted friends here we desperately tried to gather the food that we would need for the coming year. But as the world collapsed into starvation, anarchy and cannibalism, we began to understand the true price to be paid to ensure we were to be part of the five percent that might survive this apocalypse. That price might just be our own humanity.

Counter Clockwise by UnidentifiedIsHere

"I wish...time would just stop." Sleeping has always been Xandra's getaway, but an impending vacation back to her hometown forces her to fully succumb into her mind. She has just been exhausted, working to the bone. And all she really wants is for time to stop, to let her rest for a while. Until time starts to rewound. Inside her treacherous mind, she meets a boy that introduced himself as a keeper of time. Time has stopped, he says. But when she wakes up why is it that time feels like it's running ever faster? The boy too, was a familiar mystery. There's a constant something ticking at the back of Xandra's head, always present, never revealing itself. She knows who the boy was in her past, yet she doesn't. He tells her not to worry, but in her muddled mind she knows. If she had been eleven years younger, she wouldn't have noticed it. The strange locks of hair, the blood under the trees, the house that crumbled around the edges. And she remembers. Time hasn't stopped. It has been rewound. And she needs to save the keeper of time. Miyo. Manasseh. Her friend. But could she save someone who's already dead? *** AMAZING COVER BY: @-bellawrites Psychological drama TW: mentions of suicide, abuse, trauma.

Blind Instincts by _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

FULL ECLIPSE (Book #2) by fur_el

I was on the verge of giving up but giving up meant hurting the people who I loved the most, though who's to say they wouldn't do the same to you first? 4 hours, 1 option, 1 goal: escape this city or die trying. © 2018, @fur_el.

Because We Had Us by isabelle0265

We were trying for so long to find normal that we forgot what it was. Forever we searched, we survived, we sacrificed, but in the end we had us. Us was a strange, very unlikely group of people. We didn't have much except secrets, sarcasm, and an endless amount of obstacles; but despite it all we had an epic story that was cut too short.

In Between Seasons by cgiovanniauthor

In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems. I was born into this world. Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General- a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me. We were told to just believe. We were taught to never question. We're supposed to be robots and accept our roles in this altered society. Too bad Hunter and I don't follow the rules. And we're a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible. They've been searching for the world's deadliest weapon. It's me. And I'm not following the leader any more.

You never know what they're going through, and a little kindness goes a long way. Time travelling can be quite an experience. It is fascinating to see how things were in the past. For instance, it may be difficult to understand why people behave in certain ways or communicate with different accents, like Ring. Therefore, keep an open mind and embrace the possibility of learning something new. With the right attitude and determination, one can navigate through these challenges and make the most out of this time travelling adventure. There are always those who do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Y/N may be an arcanist, or perhaps something else entirely. However, his disregard for the seriousness of time travel can have devastating consequences, and it is impossible to protect the timeline from his reckless behavior. Every decision he makes is like the butterfly's effect where a single flap can cause the 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 on the other side of the world. So beware, for Y/N may be your saving grace... or the undoing of this universe as you know it. A massive 'What-if', when certain figures associated with 'The Storm' met the Timekeeper?
