Echo, Echo, Echo by ayeitsjustellie

⚠️ THERE WILL BE TRIGGERING THEMES SUCH AS SELF HARM, SUICIDE AND OVERDOSAGE, PLEASE ONLY READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!⚠️ Harsh words echo in the minds of those who are victim to their cruelty, just like adrenaline filled screams of achievement echo from the mountain tops. Echos cause a ripple effect when other people hear them, just like words and rumours do. Sometimes they're hard to ignore, and one can be tempted to say something back, to let someone else hear their echo, but, it's not always the right thing to do. Even echos have consequences. Those seemingly innocent shouts of triumph can be mistaken for something much, much darker. Just ask Rune Knight, he knows all about the repercussions of echos. (This is in the book cover) If only I could have you back for just a little while, then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to.

The Jokester by Whatisitgoingtotake2

Pinky and the Brain are in the '80s. Brain struggles with bipolar depression and anxiety. He also seeks to rule the world. It's hard, though, to accomplish much when you're low on money, unhappy, and living in a trashed city with twisted politicians. Pinky works as a clown for a clown temp agency. He loves his job, but things are hard. Pinky struggles with worsening hallucinations and Tourette's. He still tries his hardest to be kind to everyone and smile often. Hamington is a tough town to live in. It's filthy, full of violence, and there's a lack of mental health care. Pinky is 26, and Brain is 49. They are human in this. The movie Joker meets Pinky and the Brain. I'll update tags as I post. Joker+Pinky and the Brain=This (The Epilogue Is Up) The depictions of certain mental health conditions may not be accurate and should not be considered educational in any way. I have experienced most of the conditions or traits listed, but my experiences are not everyone's, especially when those experiences have been exaggerated GREATLY and given to fictional characters in a poorly-written fan-fiction. I do not own Pinky and The Brain: Shocker I know :P Probably errors a plenty, but I tried. There is a lot of sex in this, so if that's not something you would enjoy, you should probably pass lol. This probably won't get any views at all because this is definitely not this largest fan base out there, but we do exist, and yes, we're weird.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Happy Little Pill by minty_garbage

Your name is Dave Strider and you have officially lost all control over your life. You like to smoke a lot of marijuana, you tend to tap into acid here and there, and you drink more than anyone your age should. But no matter how many times people drill the phrases of 'Stay away from drugs and alcohol!' and 'Smoking kills!' into your abused head, you just... really don't care anymore.. Well, not until you meet a certain nerd who somehow manages to intrigue you that is. (POV changes throughout the story) (AN: There is a high possibility that I will change the name of the fic and change the cover, so don't be alarmed if you see it differently.) (THIS IS A TRIGGER WARNING, DON'T READ IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TRIGGERS YOU: STORY CONTAINS UNDERAGE DRINKING, SMOKING, AND DRUG ABUSE! I WILL ADD MORE WARNINGS AS THE STORY PROGRESSES! ALSO INCLUDES HARSH LANGUAGE, BRIEF MENTIONS OF SUICIDE THREATS, AND BULLYING!)

VALERIE by xxmils

He speaks as if he knows everything, he trips over his own tongue like the intelligent person he is. The lingering taste of vodka and whiskey taint his sinful chapped lips. When he walks he stumbles, he smells like nicotine and he's cold. Ice resides in his veins and heart but not even the hell like flames of hatred and anger burning within his mind can freeze over. She's sweet like honeysuckle. She's warm and physically beautiful with her long brown hair and different colored gaze. When she smiles, the entire world stops to look and stare at her. Yet underlying her forced smile and physical perfection, dwells the monster that is her mental illness that she cannot control. Being beautiful doesn't hide it either, only mass doses of prescription pills do. In which an 18-year-old who believes he hasn't much to live for leaves his small sleepy town in hopes of finding his mother who abandoned him years ago. All the while a 17-year-old girl with severe Manic Depression tags along in hopes of being distracted from her illness and to also find peace of mind and happiness elsewhere. ** Inspired by music, specifically The 1975, Lana Del Rey, and others. ** Rough draft in desperate need of editing, plot holes, grammatical issues, etc. * not cliche but cliche it has it moments, but also so many plot twists so idk yeah.

The One I'm Not (Twenty One Pilots) by createdoubt

It's like breathing in as much air as you possibly can, and not wanting to exhale it all. Holding it in, how can a heavy soul be in that much control over itself? Tyler Joseph thought about that a lot, especially in his writing. How can he be in control of a soul so dirty? So broken. So heartless. All he wanted was to be known but by who? Joshua Dun thought the same in a sense. He found safety in something he didn't have in his loving household: his drums. He'd go to the local record store, check out the music, and play their drums until he was kicked out. Only to be left alone with no outlet for the rest of his day. He wanted to be known too, but by who? *Possible heavy stuff: Read with care* Stay Alive |-/ (Cover is done by the wonderful @domismymuse! ^-^)

Once the relationship comes to a tumultuous end, she loses very nearly everything, her sanity included. As an effort to promote her career, she is forced to tour with an all-male rock band and is not looking forward to the experience.....that is, until she meets the cryptic, playful lead singer, Landon Stone. Over time, she finds that he's everything she wants, but he has life-threatening demons that she's not sure he can overcome. She lets herself be sucked into the turbulent world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Danger and loss is at every corner, and she isn't sure how much she can take. While she invests herself into this man in efforts to heal him, will she be able to heal herself before it's too late? *****Note: This is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance, but its primary focus is about healing.

Is This My Life?(Completed) by Firetail606

16 year old Harley Jenson has never had an easy life. With an alcoholic, drug addicted, abusive father; a mother who couldn't be bothered to pay attention because she was always too focused on Harley's 5 year old twin brother and sister; no friends, no one to confide in, no one to trust. For the sake of her mother and siblings, Harley has always been at the receiving end of her father's.... Outbursts. Never talking unless she was forced to, so that she didn't accidentally let anything slip out. Hiding her body under long sleeved shirts, jackets, long pants, and concealer, so no one could see the evidence. Pushing people away, so they wouldn't get close, so they wouldn't get hurt. These are her defences. Not only for herself, but for everyone. However, after one night of her father inviting his friends over to have a 'sleepover' with Harley, as he'd arranged dozens, if not hundreds of times before, something happens that Harley had never even thought to fear. Now, her defences will gradually become less and less efficient. What will she do when the clothes and makeup can no longer hide the evidence? What about when people start trying to force their way in, despite her pushing them back? And how about when she gets forced to talk? All her years of carefully hiding herself in the background, staying in the shadows so no one would give her a second glance, are all being threatened. What can she do? ~~~~~~WARNING: This story contains strong language, drug use, sexual and physical abuse, and topics/situations that may be triggers for some people.~~~~~~ © Copyright 2014 All rights reserved

In Your Company by PrawnLMB

--Re-written-- When I was 8 we were playing hide and seek in the little park surrounded by bush down the street from my house. It was a large group of us. It was always fun down at the park, since our parents never really came and checked on us. Being twins, Taylor and myself had a bigger amount of freedom then the other kids in our grade, so all the parents trusted at if the Norm Twins were going to be somewhere, their kids would be safe, even though we were young. And that was always true. This particular time at the park we were playing hide and seek. It was one of our favorite games to play. Taylor, Rachel and Connor always had the best hiding spots. I loved counting. The suspense. So I was counting. We counted to 90 so everyone could get the optimal spots in the park. The deal was that we never went too far into the bush. The boulder was our guide. I counted to 90, like normal, and then started looking. There were always specific spots that people hid in, so they were my first points to check. Oddly, no one was in any of them. But to my 8 year old self that made the whole thing better. I started looking hard. But didn't find anyone. I started to call out, starting to get worried. But no one called back. --- Danielle Norm, a musician, dancer, and comitted school student, is just looking to get through school in one piece...
