'When you're sixteen, everything is a soap opera.'

Summer is finally over. The town of Athea can once again return to its boring schedule. That is, until an accident. An accident that changes everyone. 

Mostly, it changes sixteen-year-old Aaron Adler. His life is torn apart when his father, the only man in his life who's ever been there for him, is tragically killed in that accident. And on the night he receives the news, Aaron makes a wish. A wish his father wasn't dead. A wish the world was like those soap operas his friend, Eleanor, liked. And to his absolute shock, his wish is granted. 

As Aaron deals with the consequences of his actions, a serial killer is loose and wreaking havoc in Athea. And Aaron and his friends have found themselves caught up in the murders. 

With no one else seeming to care about the murders, it's fallen to Aaron and his friends to catch the killer and undo the wish but at what cost?All Rights Reserved

Abigail by hmarieh1218

(In editing) She's depressed. She's anorexic. She's suicidal. She's insecure. Abigail has grown up with her three brothers and James, never meeting her parents, who abandoned her at birth. Her brothers were left to take care of her and keep a roof over their heads. Everyday they struggle to take care of Abigail, while working to keep them in their home. Life for them is hard.

Everyday is a struggle for her and just getting out of bed is a success. She meets Zach, a bad boy with a bad reputation. He starts off as a tutor, just to help her out, out of pity. But eventually feelings get involved and Abigail finds herself liking a boy for the first time in her life. Things get serious and she somehow learns about his drug dealing business. Everything gets hectic and Abigail doesn't know what to do with her life anymore. Or if she even wants to live.

Skylar fights against her father for the death of her mother, but that fight might become the death of her. We always knew the time of sorrow would descend on us, like it has been foretold. Like the Plague, a sudden death, agony and hatred to all that is taken. This brings us nothing but darkness, pain and heartache.

Polysomething by David_Nora

This is my first, unpublished novel. It was sad sitting in the outer-reaches of desktop space, so I wanted to give it some attention. I hope that someone out there enjoys it and even-dare I say-chuckles a few times. Here's a brief summary: Boy meets boy. Boy meets boy's boyfriend. Then meets his other boyfriend and thinks: Damn, I can't go out with this guy. I can barely handle my own dick, little less a... Wait, is there a name for a group of dicks? Is it like...a herd of dicks? Or maybe it's a flock of cocks? ...Yeah, I like a flock of cocks better. It just rolls off the tongue. POLYSOMETHING is the story of Aaron Moore, a 28-year-old self-conscious, OCD, gay man looking to break his hermitic life in New York City. Pushed to attend a Polyamory Night-at your average hipster bar in Brooklyn-with his roommate and best friend, Alex, Aaron meets Jonathan, a performer with beautiful, curly hair and one of those perfect, well-built bodies that Aaron has seen plenty of times-in the countless hours of porn he watches. Only one catch: Jonathan's a polyamorist, and Aaron could never imagine himself dating a polyamorist. Or anyone at all. However, after a trip to the Cloisters museum (where he sees practically every happy gay couple in the tristate area), Aaron decides to go out with Jonathan, believing he may be the best way to break out of his very long and very sexless six-year rut. Unfortunately, Jonathan's other boyfriends put Aaron in more awkward and compromising positions than he'd planned for, including: vomiting in front of a crowd of hipsters, getting into a heated argument with Jonathan's "pinched-face cunt" boyfriend, and an acrobatic sex act involving the rim of his bath tub. POLYSOMETHING isn't just about the crazy exploits of a man's relationship with a polyamorist, though. It's about the courage to get past one's insecurities to find love; dealing with the heartbreak of losing love; and ultimately working on becoming a better person.

He keeps finding me by Lorelai1412

It all began with a message on his 16th birthday, 'Today in one year, you will die.' Felix didn't think much about it, after all his father was a well-known underground boss in this area. Unbothered, he pocketed his phone, going about his normal day, only that nothing was normal. His mother, whom he hadn't seen for six years, met him only to interrogate him. Felix never condoned what his father did for a living, much less that he was always dragged into it. He collected evidence to send his father to jail and to prove to his mother that he wasn't anything like his father. When did it all go wrong? When he tried to turn in the evidence? Felix couldn't remember the day after that day he got a message, only one thing seemed prominent. Ice-blue eyes. He saw his mother on the street in front of him, she said something in tears, "Don't worry, the afterlife will give you what you deserve," before she shot him. Why did she- It was a question he couldn't ask as he was soon greeted by someone or rather something..

Nocturne | ONC 2024 by giveitameaning

'There was a stain on the floor that used to be a vampire, and Aaron Evans was starting to feel like he really wasn't being paid enough.' ***** Aaron is only in Supernatural Investigations for the pay. It's stressful and dangerous, and he's certain it's aging him beyond his years. When the remains of a high-ranking vamp from London's most powerful underground gang show up on his turf, even the excellent pay seems like poor recompense for trying to prevent all-out war in his city. All he has to work with are his wits, some stolen evidence, and an enigmatic vampire investigator who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Nikolai Meier is surly, uncooperative, but frustratingly competent, so Aaron has no choice but to make it work. But Nikolai has secrets, and those secrets may prove just as deadly as failure. *** #ONC2024 Entry for Prompt 56: 'In a world where humans and magical creatures coexist, a detective must solve a murder case that threatens to plunge the two communities into war.'

DREA (GxG) by xJadesx

Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones. The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there. Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on. Or so she thought. Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3
