THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE.

Casper (formerly known as "John Doe" or simply "the boy") didn't ask to come to Glenholm. Nobody asked him if he wanted to be here either. For better or for worse, he's stuck living under the same roof as Glenholm's own notorious witch man. Balor's not a bad guy actually. It's Myr, the lunatic drunk who gets his kicks from threatening Casper on pain of death every now and again, that's giving him the most problems.

Needless to say, Casper isn't leaving soon enough.

Content includes coarse language, substance use, violence, child abuse and neglect, witchcraft,  poor reality testing, and dubious morality. Teen and older audiences recommended.

The Phantom of the Woods  by Bl00mingTales
20 parts Complete
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.

[Excerpt] the Trouble with Hate is...

5 parts Complete

...it's easier. ...it's safer. ...it's often not hate at all. *full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* The Granger and Drake families have been through everything together; the suicide of the eldest Granger son, the Drake patriarch's cancer diagnosis, family holidays with only slight maiming, and more dance recitals than anyone would care to remember. Leilani Granger can't stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn't even recognise his best mate's little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don't know how not to hate each other either. As they face losing Leilani's only remaining brother and Casper's best mate to his inner demons, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort. But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur. Leilani wasn't the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex. Casper's been doing it for years. It's the only time they can forget the storm clouds in their lives. It's the only time they can remember the sunshine. It's the only time hate doesn't get in the way. But, the trouble with hate is...it's often not hate at all. NB: Contains mature content.
