"You see a massive, impenetrable wall surrounding your paradise. All I see is a crumbling mass of steel and insecurities thrown over some foul lies." 

-- Rayne Byrin has everything going exactly the way he wants it to. He lives in the town of Paramino. A city that uses its technology advances and years of research to better the community in many ways. Rayne is known for his extreme intellect and has received the job offer of his dream before he even graduates from school. His life is so comfortably mundane that he believes it will stay that way forever. Right? Wrong. On one particular day the very thing that will turn his life upside-down and inside-out escapes from a high security prison. Cecil, a mysterious, smart mouthed, egotistical convict that just wants to leave the city. This walking disaster somehow wanders into Rayne's life and begins to unravel his seemingly perfect life one strand at a time. Cecil tells Rayne that the city isn't all that he thinks it is, Rayne begins having doubts as well. He ends up aiding the escapee to his freedom, well aware of what could happen to him and his normal life. One thing is for sure, after that night, Rayne's world will never be the same again.

Link City by MapleCFreter

When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.

(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.

Sunny × Y/N by DeluluRawr

Cover art is NOT mine. If you know the artist, please let me know. This story will contain abuse, foul language, sexual topics, body image issues, starving, depression, and sexual assault. You will be warned before it happens You moved into a new town about 2 weeks ago. You're trying to get a new start and run away from your past. You worked at an office job as an assistant. After working there for a month, you started dating your boss, Daniel. Everything was great. You were happy and felt ready to take on anything. Until Dan started drinking. One night, you and Dan got into a huge argument, and he hit you. Ever since then, you were terrified of him. He was easily angered and wasn't afraid to hit you as long as no one was looking. He made your life a living hell, especially during work since he was your boss. You were never in the mood, but that didn't stop him. You learned to just take it. After a year, you had enough. While he was out on a work trip, you packed your things and moved hours away and never looked back. You now live in a small apartment in the city. For the past 2 weeks, you've been checking your back every second and making sure to lock everything. You're scared he might find you. Eventually, you got hired at a job. Tomorrow is your first day at Superstar Daycare. You don't really like kids, but the pay is great. You weren't told that much in the email. Just that you'll be working with an animatronic, named Sundrop. But your job is mostly at the counter, so you won't have to interact with him that often. One big thing that convinced you to apply was that you won't have human coworkers. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there, but they'll all be in their own area, like Fazer Blast, Monty Golf, etc.. You hate being around people. You hate talking to them. 1st, you're not very good at it, and 2nd, people just suck in general. Too much attitude.

Night Disease by kipekipe

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

Nightmare by DerekBolton

But this is not a nightmare you wake up from. This is everlasting torment. This is my story............... my nightmare." Candace once beautiful world is turned into an everlasting doomsday as bio-hazardous gasses are released into the atmosphere, Turning all mankind into walkers. Undead man-like creatures that now roam the earth. A single bite from a walker and you join the parade. With her parents now walkers, Candace remains earth's last hope for survival.

The Cage of the Past by diaphanous_dreams

I didn't want to do the things I did, didn't revel in other people's pain, but I did what I had to to survive. At least that's what I tell myself. The people left only care about themselves, if they didn't care that I murdered someone, why should I? ----- After a fatal war that caused the world's governments to collapse, the world fell into chaos that it never recovered from. Now the wealthy control everything, using mercenaries that rely on them to stay afloat to carry out their dirty work. Dream was one of these mercenaries, one of the most skilled that their was. He was willing to do what he had to, never thought twice about ending someone's life in the blink of an eye, that is until he was instructed to kill someone, someone he cared deeply for without a real reason to. This caused his entire way of life to go into turmoil, so why is he willing to risk everything for some random boy he met on the street? ----- (TW!!!!: blood, violence, death, use of weaponry, slight mention of mental manipulation, though not much) if any of these things affect you, DO NOT read on, for they will be periodic themes throughout the entirety of the story. Continue with caution. i only ship the characters Dream and George, not the real people art does not belong to me

Fuck This by Absinthe2Achilles

So here's the deal: I, Oreon, took a night shift at the world's saddest haunted pizzeria. Minimum wage, asbestos vibes, and zero life choices worth bragging about. Easy gig, right? Sit in a crusty office, smoke a blunt, and pretend ghosts aren't real. Except-plot twist-they are. One minute I'm joking about asbestos and trauma, the next I'm finding decades-old files about missing kids, murderous animatronics, and some crusty bastard named William who writes like a failed theater villain. Oh, and did I mention the ghost child who literally wrote back to me? Yeah. We're pen pals now. Totally normal. Definitely not emotionally compromising. Add in my chaos bestie Vincent, the girl I'm hopelessly (and pathetically) into, and my uncle who's one angry text away from grounding me into another dimension-and you've got my life. Haunted halls. Cursed notes. Ghost therapy sessions at 3 AM. Welcome to my shift. If I survive this job, it'll be a miracle. If I don't... at least my obituary will say I was hotboxing with spirits.
