If anyone is interested, I'm looking for a group to read this book-club style (one person reading each narrator, with breaks to criticise the story and point out any mistakes I've missed, banter, diversions etc) on a video chat for youtube.
Now on hiatus. I moved the story here from another site; and got no feedback at all. After a hundred chapters that becomes soul destroying. If people are interested, I'd love to finish it, but I can't keep doing this when my other pen name is getting a dozen votes per chapter easily and this doesn't even get read. So if you read it and liked it, please comment. Let others know. Let me know I'm not shouting into the void.
A Rashomon-style story with student pranks, classroom drama, fake CIA agents, Interpol, secret Russian soldiers, biker rabbits, aliens, the mafia, a clockwork zombie, and a whole lot of lies.
Dwayne, Monty, Ferrari, Marco, and Kris were LUSARS: The Lanchester University Samurai Appreciation and Reenactment Society. They were close friends in college, despite very different backgrounds. But they never really talked about what happened when they were appointed custodians of the Box, and none of them know the whole story. It's only at a reunion fifteen years later, when they start sharing their own memories from that week, that the truth might start to emerge.
If you've been following this story on #SaturdayScenes over on Google Plus, you'll notice that the Wattpad version is almost a year behind in the story. But this is the second revision, with a lot of the action tightened up and some earlier scenes changed for continuity. So it might be worth reading these even if you've read the earlier revision.
As I'm posting twice per week here, and I'm breaking the story up into larger chapters, it shouldn't take too long to catch up with what you've seen on the other site. I'm currently expecting to have the Box open in time for Halloween.

Meeting Simon Riley
I am a 24 year old college student, studying at the University of Texas, who is currently doing volunteer work in Las Almas, Mexico. I'm studying to be an English major, and to get my end of the year credits, I have to do volunteer work in the rural villages in Mexico, for at lease six weeks. As I'm getting familiar with the area and the locals, I stop by a local flower shop, to add some decor to my makeshift classroom, and a dark beat up van, eerily creeps on by, with more cars following It, and masked individuals hop out if the cars, and unload bullets into the plaza, kicking over people and taking hostages. The sweet old lady behind the counter, ducks, and out of instinct, I run up, and try to block the door with whatever I can find, and I turn to her and try to calm her down. "We are going to be okay.." Trying to believe my own words, I hope she understands me, as I hold the door back, and i peep through the glass, trying to analyze the situation. There's so much going on, and even more people are arriving, in different cars and uniforms. The sounds of Spanish and breaking glass sound off from all over, and I put my fingers on my lips. "Shh.." as the sounds grew louder as they came closer. I hear English in the distance, and I get confused And I peep through the window, looking around, and they kick the door in, and I fly to the ground... What's going to happen next? Will she be saved? Or even captured. Who is this tall man in the distance? _____________________________________________ Author here! Everything is fictional of course, and the plot is thanks to my conversion with c.ai HAHAH I will be using profanity in the story and it will have some sexual themes, so be cautious while reading.

DISCONTINUED Assassin | Ranboo x Assassin Reader (Assassin and Soulmate AU)
THE BOOK COVER IS MADE BY THE AMAZING XZOL, @Singlehoesupremacy THANK YOU SO MUCH MY BELVOEDDD! :DDDD --- You grew up in an orphanage, helping raise the children there. Often, these people who seemed like normal people would come, and see the children, not to adopt, but to seek out who'd be the best assassin on their team. Well, you appeared to be the best fit... For years, you trained for this. They eventually felt you were ready to be a "normal teenager". They sent you to a high school, with many other kids your age. All of these kids had this ring, that would reveal your soulmate. You'd normally get these at the age of 12, but with you training to be an assassin, you never got one, that was until you went to school. These rings are supposed to show the color of the emotion your soulmate feels. Once you meet your romantic soulmate, your ring turns the color light pink. And when you meet your platonic soulmate, it'll turn a more hot pink color. It will still show their emotions, but for the most part the ring would be pink. When your romantic soulmates dies, the ring will turn black and will fall off your finger, becoming dust. There's also another way of knowing a soulmate: Writing on yourself. If you do that, it appears on your soulmate's body too. You usually get the writing one by age 17 if you haven't met your soulmate by that time. One day while at school, you meet someone that went by the name of "Ranboo". What happens when your ring turns pink, and you also start getting targets to kill? --- Book Started: December 12th, 2021 Book Published: April 20th, 2022 (so 4/20, nice) Book Completed: ??? --- COVER ART MADE BY THE AMAZING BELOVED @Singlehoesupremacy MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW XZOL OR I'LL KILL YOUR MINECRAFT PETSComplete

Green Stardust ~ (Sequel to Angel's Love of Two Wings)
I exited through the side entrance of the building and stood by the manhole cover, pulling it up and out of the way. I climbed down the ladder and slid the cover back over me, shrouding myself in pitch darkness. When I got to the ground, water splashed by my feet and I turned my phone flashlight on. Ice covered most of the walls and floor, except for the small puddle I stepped in. I looked around and started walking in the right direction. It was colder in the sewers this time of year and I almost slipped on ice a few times. When I saw familiar pipes and came to what looked like a concrete wall, a small smile formed on my lips. I stood in front of it for a moment, staring at it. "Come on, Angel." I muttered to myself. It's only been two years. I doubt much has changed. I took a deep breath in and reached up to pull the pipe above the closed door. I'm a lot taller now, so I didn't have to get on my tip toes like back then. The door parted open and I walked in slowly, hearing a thud behind me when it shut closed. It was quiet in the lair as I walked around, taking it all in. Most of it looked the same, while some parts looked new. I took my beanie, scarf, and jacket off, setting them on the couch nearby. "Hello?" - **** quick content and trigger warning possibility. Regarding the fanfics that revolve around the tmnt fandom and series versions, I personally have read many that involve hard language (cursing) and depictions of violent scenes bc it's whats in the storylines of all versions of tmnt across the board and through the decades. As stated in the information for the previous book for this mini series, if anything is offensive in any such way or should be corrected, feel free to reach out and comment or PM me regarding it and I'll gladly hear you out in order to learn from the mistake I made for future reference. The main character is based off myself since I wrote this back in high school--third year in college currently 2021--as a heads up***Complete![[AllTakemichi] Control](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/361818259-256-k543901.jpg)
[AllTakemichi] Control
@Translated with non-commercial permission from the author. Summary: Takemichi once again returns to the past to save his friends. However, the fate of this return is operating strangely, beyond his control. Note from Au. Nemo288ntt: - The context is based on chapter 204 and earlier, so some plot points from the author after chapter 204 will not be used in this fic (I will use them if they fit the pre-prepared storyline). - The story follows the original plot but not entirely; some events have been changed, and it will diverge even further from the original plot later on. - Out of Character (OOC). - Includes Original Characters (OC). - Contains elements for 18+ audiences (I am hesitant about explicit content, but providing a warning in advance). - There may be spelling mistakes, so if readers notice any, please remind me, and I will correct them later; don't be too strict. - I write for entertainment and joy, so if you happen to come by and leave comments or opinions, I appreciate it. Please maintain a positive and respectful attitude, both towards the writer and the characters. * The story has been written and posted on Mangatoon since September 2021. It's only recently been posted on Wattpad in February 2022. The reason is that I was concerned about explicit content not being allowed on Mangatoon. * I don't follow a schedule; I post as soon as I finish writing, so the release time for chapters may be irregular. Enjoy reading, and thanks for stopping by. Note from me, Ally Tao: "English is not my native language, so my sentences may differ from the original version. If there are any mistakes in grammar, vocabulary, or expression, please let me know so I can improve. Thanks for your understanding. Feel free to share your feelings while reading, and I'll pass them on to the author. Much love to all who stopped by. Enjoy the reading!"
Scanny Boy (Highschool DxD x Male Reader)
Do yourself a favor... Go read "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse" and/or "Messing with the Supernatural" This story is more dead than my will to live. But if you're willing to not take the story seriously and read for shits and giggles, this is for you. If you're looking for stories with plot and some comedy, I already recommend the stories above :D The story got discontinued due to make lack of enthusiasm and bad writing in the end. I wanted to finish this story and got too ahead of myself back then, so it does have a non-DxD ending. Its a shitpost and will always have a place in my heart as the first story I wrote and killed. I can understand why people discontinue books and do remakes. Sorry, this was me rambling and telling my thoughts on this story almost three years after I wrote it. Now I'm in college and it feels weird looking back. Ahem... Prepare to be utterly confused Well, kind of. I don't know anymore. It's a 50/50 between "Haha funny" and "What is this shi-" Anyhow you're still reading this so might as well give you an actual description. A world filled with supernatural and mythological stuff without the humans knowing.... Well most of the humans. Some of course know and side with on of the three factions: Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils-- "WHO FUCKING CARES!? SHUT UP YOU NERD! WE GET IT! THREE FACTIONS BUTT FUCKING EACH OTHER WITH DILDO SHAPED LEGOS! AAAH-" ... I don't know why I keep this thing alive anymore. But it's kinda fun Starring Y/n L/n. Welcome to the world of DxD. A young lad with quite the... Mentality... Let's go with that. Started: November 9 - 2020 Expect SOME 4th wall breaks. That's a lie, expect them occasionally. I do not own Highschool DxD,so please do not ban me. I also don't own the pictures used in here, I mostly Google them and just download, then edit them using a meme generator... You heard me right... A meme generator... God fucking dammit. What am I doing with my life? BababouyComplete
Demon Slayer: Alternative View
When over half of the Demon Slayer Corpse is summoned to one location, trouble brews and many surprises await around the corner. Mount Kaikoma has been under investigation for months but every single individual sent grew silent and never reported back confirming the death of the demons roaming the mountain. Finally, a group of members were sent but all plans reverse backwards when an unlucky encounter occurs and everyone undergoes a change. Over half of the demons on the mountain range, itself, contain special demon blood arts almost as powerful as the 6 Upper Moons of the Twelve Kizuki. If Tanjiro and his friends can't find a way to kill all the demons meandering the sierra, they'll be at great stakes. Mysteries, battles, secrets, and romance! "Onii-san? Are you a...?" "Hey! Look at this! I'm taller than Tomioka-san!" "WhAt In ThE wOrLd Is GoInG oN?" "Fantastic, just fantastic..." "Whimps!!" "Umm, master...!" "Mft, mft!" "Huh?!? Does this mean..." Ships in the book: TanjiroxKanao, ZenitsuxNezuko, GiyuuxShinobu, and IguroxMitsuri *Don't like it, leave it! Started: June 10, 2020 Finished: July 30, 2020 This story was inspired by a long as* chat among a group of Demon Slayer, anime ship loverz (spelt this way on purpose)! Kudos to y'all and thanks for the inspiration. This is some random one-shot book that is fairly short so please don't expect much. I'm also a dodo author so expect grammar errors. Maybe one day I might revise this story but as of right now, expect this to be TrAsH!! Okay, enjoy!!<3 Shout out to: @MeaganAgaldz @Konichiwa559 @Expiered_Ice @_undergroundbase_ Thank you guys for all the support and inspiration. Be sure to check out and support these authors!!

Jim Kirk & Lucy
He didn't know who I was until they caught me, stealing. They grabbed me, told me I couldn't talk. Then, they dragged me all the way to some sort of jail cell and threw me in it, then they slammed the door and punched in a code that activated a lock. I waited what felt like years till he arrived with a doctor and a guy that looked like an elf. I sat their in the cell, on a bench that was connected to the wall. I stared at the floor until the doctor cleared his throat. I looked up at the doctor. My left eye was swollen and purple. I can't remember anything, all I remember was, I was in this building next to a crystal, passed out, and these men were grabbing me, and they put me In this cell. I couldn't hear what the doctor was saying, my vision was going black, but before I passed out, I saw him standing there. He looked older than me, he had brown hair, and his eyes were so blue! He looked familiar to me. Then it hit me, his name was Kirk, or was it Jim? But all I could get out of my mouth before I passed out was, "help". ⭐️ BOOK 1 OF 2 ⭐️ __________________________________ (This is a mix with Star Trek into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond. Some of the parts are from one of those movies, some are made up by me.) (Some parts from those movies are skipped in this book. Also, this book has "into darkness" in the future if Khan was to escape and bring havoc again. If that makes any sense ?) [this is also my first wattpad story to be published, so it may be a bit bad but it gets better farther into the book] *this book also contains some "language" (curse words) in it, just and FYI* $ I hope you guys like it $ P.S. at the beginning the chapters are some-what short, but as you read further the chapters get longer.(just letting you know, also if you guys find any spelling errors in the story, I tried to find all of them and fix them so I'm sorry if there are any spelling mistakes ?,sorry for all this information??) ⭐️ Im working on book 2Complete

Imagine going back 1200 years in time. What would it be like? What would it look like? Time travel is something we had all wondered about at least once in our lives, but humanity had yet to find a way to give in to that fantasy. Well, that was just what everyone thought. (This is a very Armin x Reader based book). --- TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains, but is not limited to, profanity, nudity, bullying, sex, assault, blood, violence, abuse, mental health disorders, and suicide. In no way is it intended to glorify or support any of these topics. AGING UP: All characters have been aged up, due to the fact that this book contains mature content. The characters ARE NOT meant to be interpreted as adults in the body of minors. They are not supposed to look identical to how they looked as minors, so please keep that in mind. Instead, this story is meant to take place during a different timeline from the manga/anime, where all of the main characters are consenting adults. Most characters in this story are based on the characters in the Attack on Titan novels, created by Hajime Isayama. All credit for the characters used in my book that don't belong to me is given to the author of Attack on Titan. NOTE: This book was written/completed 5 years ago. My writing style, grammar, as well as punctuation use, have all changed since then. I am currently in the process of re-writing this book, however, I am keeping it up while I re-write. RE-WRITTEN CHAPTERS WILL HAVE CHAPTER NAMES: "Chapter #: ____". ***70 chapters have been completely rewritten! I have a schedule set to finish editing this story by the end of June. Your patience is so greatly appreciated, as it's hard for me to get through this quickly since each chapter typically has 1000-3000 words and there are 100 chapters. ALSO, I had a second novel ~30 chapters (incomplete) that was the sequel to this and I'll be publishing that once I'm done editing this.

Edit: I am extremely embarrassed when I decided to reread my book, this was supposed to be only for fun, but as time passed, I realized I was already having fun communicating and reading my readers' comments. Been having thoughts deleting this book, since a lot of it has grammatical errors and overall its cringey, esPecIalLY The pLOT, but I noticed how far it has gone and I feel proud because I felt how much people enjoyed my book. Thank you very much! WARNING! EVERY CHAPTER HAS A MANGA SPOILER Disclaimer: Kimetsu no Yaiba doesn't belong to me and the characters, it belongs to Gotouge-sensei.
