In Your Eyes // Technoblade x Reader by bubbleblease

"I know what it's like to be used! ...and so do you. Stay with me, please." A story in which the reader becomes a Technoblade apologist. ===== Cover art credit: noelhijkm - Instagram victorempov - Twitter Highly suggest checking them out. Their fanart is amazing! Heyo! This story will somewhat follow the plotline of the DreamSMP. Not to a tea but will hit the major events. It begins during the elections and exile. However, y/n has been around since the first revolution. It'll be a little more realistic, but aspects of Minecraft are still implemented (plus one self made one ;;;). We're in for a long one. Happy reading! WARNINGS: blood, swearing, angst, and gore Status: Complete <3 NO SMUT!!! If anyone within the DSMP is uncomfortable or asks for this story to be taken down, it will.

Maybe this problem will go away on its own. Is it really wrong to want to keep that warm smile on Sunset's face? Just a little while longer... ======================================================== Hello, everyone! This is the sequel to A Spooky Scary Siren and the latest installment in the Sundagioverse series! Before we begin, I have to explain something.

Cali With Cameron by lcji_stories

So I had a dream about this and I thought it was a good story idea! I fell asleep in science and since then it's been evolving. Melody (you) was a huge fan of NCK. Their music had helped her through her hardest times. She always wanted to meet them, especially Cameron. She liked Cameron the most. She also was an editor with almost 10k followers and she was proud of herself. When NCK holds a challenge with a reward, she had to do it. Little did she know that she was flying to Cali. This Whole Story is in Omniscient Third Person. That means the narrator (me) knows all of the people's thoughts and actions. (As of July 27th at 12 am) #1 in Conner Finnerty

Smell Of Daises by nathaliewritez

"Meet me by the sunflower field where the sun always shines. The one next to the warm river where we had our first picnic together. 4:44 pm, our favorite angel number. From your dear Christopher." Daisy. The sparkle in her eyes could light up an entire city. Her laugh sounds like rain on the evenings while you try to sleep. Her long hair fly in the wind like birds coming home after a cold winter. Just from looking at her you wouldn't know that she has a mental illness. A mental illness that haunts her, that makes her unable to sleep at night. She meets Christopher in the summer time, and the sun smiles down at them while they hang out. What happens when she sees the mysterious summer fling boy at school? Will she listen to him and run away? #tsc22
