What's it like to be brought back from the Afterlife? What's it like to live after death? What's it like to be alive again?
Louis is one of those "lucky" people who managed to cheat death, but he encounters terrible experiences while escaping which leaves him with the permanent pain of memories of those who've died. Thrown into Limbo, where all restless souls stay, Louis has to discover a way to stop these memories, discover dark secrets, and avoid the seeds of war while trying to adjust to his new life.
Coming back to life isn't easy, but neither is living out this new life.

BEYOND: The Nameless Eater
The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters.

The War In His Mind
After war devastated the United States, a survivor buried himself deep underground in a cryostasis chamber connected to a digital world- Wonder City. Dedicated to creating a perfect society, Thomas O'Neil transported his consciousness to the city and dedicated his life to creating a better world. But there's a major catch- everyone in the world is an exact clone of him without any emotions, passions, or original thoughts. Everyone is created through "The Code", a computer code designed to create people and assign jobs. For years it's worked flawlessly, filling Wonder City full of workers and civilians. The society was successful. Until one day when a glitch in the code created the first clone with emotions and thoughts- #937. Angry and determined to have free will, 937 sets out on a path to create a better world from the ashes of the old empire. What happens when the city of the future becomes a world that O'Neil can't contain? Welcome to Wonder City. Welcome to the future. **** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft. Many details, paragraphs, and chapters will inevitably change between this and the final version. There's still lots to be smoothed out. Thank you for understanding! I'm very open to suggestions! -Andrew PurdumComplete

A Monaco Summer Affair - Lando Norris
The summer of 2025 in Monaco was supposed to be just another luxurious getaway for me-a break from the high-paced world of fashion marketing. But when my friend Elio, a Ferrari F1 mechanic, invited me to an exclusive rooftop party, I found myself stepping into a world I had admired from afar since childhood. Amongst the glittering elite of Formula 1, I felt out of place, sipping champagne in quiet observation. It wasn't until I wandered to the other side of the rooftop, where the sunset painted the Monaco skyline in hues of gold and crimson, that my night truly began. A clumsy mistake-a shattered cocktail glass tumbling down from the rooftop-was all it took to catch the attention of someone I never expected to meet. Lando Norris. The young, talented McLaren driver stood opposite me, his laughter breaking the tension. But when our eyes finally met, something shifted. A moment of silence. A confession that slipped from his lips before he could stop it. And just like that, everything changed. by stella, best ranking!! 19/03/2025 #1 : lando 19/03/2025 #1: norris 21/03/2025 #1 : mclaren 25/03/2025 #1 : ln4 21/04/2025 #1 : oscarpiastri 23/04/2025 #1 : f1drivers 08/06/2025 #1 : f1fanfiction 28/06/2025 #1 : sportsromance 03/07/2025 #1 : mclaren 04/08/2025 #1 : booktok 09/08/2025 #1 : f1fanfiction This story is purely fictional, and I mean no disrespect to anyone!Complete
