The Idiot By Foydor Dostoevsky , Dostoevsky produced this masterpiece just two years after completing Crime and Punishment. In it, a saintly man, Prince Myshkin, is thrust into the heart of a society more concerned with wealth, power and sexual conquest than with the ideals of Christianity. Myshkin soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal and murder follow, testing Myshkin's moral feelings as Dostoevsky searches through the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man." The Idiot is a quintessentially Russian novel, one that penetrates the complex psyche of the Russian people. "They call me a psychologist," wrote Dostoevsky. "That is not true. I'm only a realist in the higher sense; that is, I portray all the depths of the human soul."

Wormholes and Wanderlust by MisterCantaloupe
18 parts Ongoing Mature
This story follows the young prodigy Grant Alan, a scholar turned telekinetic, surviving in a strange new world after the colossal science vessel, the Halfpace, passes into a future very foreign to him, populated by anthropomorphic creatures that have dominated humanity after a planet-wide war. To ultimately find out what happened to the last vestiges of humanity, Grant must use his wits, friendships and newfound power to navigate this new and dangerous world while an ancient, malevolent force slowly corrupts its new anthro leaders. (This story contains depictions of violence, death & murder, gore, strong language and some moderate sexual scenes. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED) I wrote this because I was inspired by "A Man In A Beast's World" by @GhillieCamo. If you're looking for a mostly military type war story that is similar, this isn't the story for you. While the original inspiration stemmed from GhillieCamo's story, I wrote this story with the intention of creating an intense science-fiction experience, with some horror, thriller and mystery elements. If that isn't what you're looking for, you're simply in the wrong place. Though, I really think I put a lot of effort into this, so it would mean a lot to me to give it a chance. I am a huge fan of science-fiction, and this story definitely reflects that. If you like any of these: books with deep lore, furries, conflict, some romance & awkwardness, horror, robots, star trek, survival, time travel, supernatural powers and aliens, you'll probably like this story. The art in the story was created by me, so please, don't steal it. (But, let's be real, my drawing skills are basic so I don't even know why you'd even want to do that anyway) If you read the whole description, props to you. Anyways, I hope you like my story.

Warning: Only for ages 18+ "You are in my seat," I repeated. "You said that already," the boy beside him voiced with a profound russian accent. The undertone sent a chill to break out on my skin. My hands curled around the books in my arms as I studied him a bit more. The two were similar in the physical, same bone structure and sharp jawline except for the crooked way the second one's nose was angled. As I looked him over he studied me with the eyes of sweet honey, the pools of gold shameless in their perusal. "We are entitled to sit anywhere we like." "You haven't listened the first time," I gritted. I was not in the mood for his bullshit. Not after what I went through this morning. "You are both entitled to a empty seat such as those in the back row." I pointed to the desks Mrs. Murray keeps free of name tags. "This is my section." His lips pursed. "And what about this seat? It is empty. No name, therefore I have claimed it." "I don't do well with partners," I explained. "Not if you like people who bite." His smirk was devilishly sly. "Vy mozhete ukusit' menya v lyuboye vremya, krasivaya devushka." You can bite me any time, pretty girl. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ This is Korina Volkov's first encounter with Maksimillian Nikolaev, a Russian fighter for the Bratva. He's charming and persistent, but Korina wants nothing to do with him. She's a girl with dark secrets, a thief forced to steal to uphold a debt with the Dom of the Russian Brotherhood. Boris Sokolov. The father of her fiancé, Erik. Despite her future with another boy, Maksimillian chases. He wants her. He's adamant about stealing her heart. But soon Boris returns with Korina's past, and a deal that can set her family free from the chains he cast upon them. In order to save her family she'll reach further into the mafia's madness, tangled in a mess of lust, love, deception and the hunger for Maksimillian that will result in giving up being a thief and welcoming a new role.

[FORMERLY KNOWN AS 'MY HEALER'] A business arrangement between a personal doctor and her billionaire patient begins to turn into something more complicated when an unforeseen spark starts flickering between these two contrasting beings. *** Thirteen months in a coma changes Jayden Stanley into the most arrogant and detached person that ever exists. With an urgent need to disconnect from the world and his aggressive mood disorder, he only wants to be isolated in his room so he can wallow in misery without having to interact with anyone. Predictably, when a medical physician, Maria Patterson, is assigned to tend to him in the comfort of his home, he can not be more displeased for the 'unneeded disturbances'. In his plan to get rid of the doctor who is nothing but a pest to him, he acts unimaginably cold toward her and basically expresses his hatred in every possible way. However, despite his disrespectful and indifferent attitude, Maria always finds herself crawling back to his regal estate with high hope for his recovery, because she can sense that there is this delicate soul hidden deep beneath his frosty exterior. Gradually, as she attends to him, she slowly starts to see the cracks in his iron shell, realizing that behind his dark façade lurks a wounded spirit. But that is not all. She also can't deny the warm feeling that starts to bloom under her touch: affection for Jayden, and she knows she is not the only one. ***

Will it all be too much? •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• "No. I jump to conclusions and overthink when you aren't honest with me. I told you from the jump. If you were honest with me, then I would fucking understand." I get louder. "Lower your voice, Nora" "Or what?" Just as fast as it comes out my mouth, his hand is around my throat. "Or I'll fuck you until you can't fucking speak" He grits and I roll my eyes. "You wanna test me?" He pulls me closer. "I will edge you until the only word coming out your mouth is my name. Now I understand your upset but watch how you talk to me." He spits, closer to my face. "Fuck you" "When and where" He remarks smirking at me. "You think your fucking funny" I ask appalled and his grin gets bigger. "Most girls think so" His response cocky and I scoff as I push away from him. He grabs my throat tighter. "I'm not done talking to you." He bites. "Well i'm done talking to you" I counter and he lifts his head up a little. "Fine, no more talking." He says before he kisses me. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
