I'm totally looking for feedback here. Warning f-bombs. 
_________________________________________________ @}->--

Charlie is a person going through some changes, zie works hard, goes to school, and stays in the shadows as much as possible.  Til zie saw a transcendent slam poet. 

The poet speaks Charlie's truth in ways that seem beyond coincidence. But it looks like everyone in the room is also having their truth told.

The moms are old Women Loving Women Lavender Menace lesbians.  They mean well and are really good people, but typical of parents, they don't see beyond their own idea of what a kid should be.

Charlie wants to say a few words:

About the zie and zir shit. Sorry, I know it sucks and it makes you have to work harder and all but fuck if I know what else the narrator should call me. 

Some people call me she, fuck that. I never did see that as me. 

But I am also not he... yet. 

So this zie bullshit seems to work for the narrator, he or she wanted to say "he or she" to mean me. Fuck, what? No. 

So, when I talk to you I will not use those PC whatever words and then when he or she talks about me he or she will use zie and zir. 

Zie is like she or he. Zir is like his or hers. 

You'll live, buck the fuck up.

Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.
Life Of Y/n Banner// Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader by Bucky_is_our_king

Si vis pacem, para bellum. //If you want peace, prepare for war// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The daughter of the infamous Bruce Banner most known for his time spent saving the world as the Hulk and for his research in gamma radiation. Y/n Banner has never been a secret to the world but her story keeps being altered. So this is her story through her view. Watch as she makes it through physical and mental hurting with crazed and intensified emotions, loss, and through it all love. You may think you know her story but trust me, you don't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I started running. You assume most nerds aren't physically fit but this nerd could run for hours on end and never get tired. Sarah called me the young Steve Rogers even though when Steve Rogers was young it was hard enough for him to walk long distances nevermind run. Running has become a common thing with me. Especially at night after my nightmares. The nightmares are roughly the same, the experiment that turned my dad into a big green monster but instead he doesn't survive the blast. What a lot of people don't know is that I was actually in the lab with him. I watched as he tested the machines to make sure there were no accidents or causalities. Everything seemed to be fine, until it wasn't. The machine malfunctioned and the gamma rays went out of control. Not only did my dad get hit but so did I. The effects weren't exactly the same obviously but they did the same job of giving the victims unnatural abilities. On my run I started to think more about the accident as tears streamed down my face and my feet started to feel like they were on fire since my body wanted to just give out and sulk. My mother chose to leave me, my father tried to leave me. What is it about me that repels people? Why doesn't anyone want me? _________________________________________ Started: 7/16/21 Finished: 7/10/22 DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters they belong to Stan Lee🕊️ and Marvel
Shadow Claw: The Life Story - The Fifth Chapter by TheLighterSideOfLife

"YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED ALONGSIDE LOST!!!" The clearing went silent. Who had spoken the words? I looked to Nova, and saw guilt. I looked to Hawthorne, and saw hurt beyond belief. "How- you...- our- my baby boy! Lost was my baby boy, Nova. It was your fault he- h-h-..." He collapsed into tears, rapidly shifting and disappearing into the inky darkness of the forest. Nova gave an anguished cry of frustration, "Hawthorne!" She screamed, spiraling into a state of utter worthlessness. I padded over gradually and rested my head on her shoulder, "Shh, shh." And I sat there with her for the rest of the night, with Jenny and James beside us too. Nova cried, Jenny cried, James cried and I cried. One for a lost love, one for a broken heart, one for a misunderstood heart, and one for a love that could never be bound. ------------------------------------------------------ Shadow Claw is finally in her sixth year of Hogwarts, but the responsibilities are weighing down on her. She has a young kitten, and has to leave Shade to take care of her during the school days.

It's a frightening year for the trio of friends, but they can manage. Can't they? ------------------------------------------------------ READ 1ST AND 2ND AND 3RD AND 4TH BOOK FIRST - DUH. <> There will be vulgar language; you have been warned <> <> Fanfiction of Harry Potter + my own ideas <> <> All rights and whatevs goes to J.K.

The Twist of Mate by dahliacraig13
15 parts Complete Mature
Scarlet Montgomery lived her life as the pack slave. She was left Omega after her parents ditched her to become rogues. She is constantly tormented not only by the other pack members but by the Alpha himself. When she meets her mate on her eighteenth birthday, things take an unexpected turn that seem to leave her life in a downward spiral. She becomes more and more defeated with each awful instance sent her way. Will she be able to escape or will she be eaten alive by the wolves that she was thrown to? ************ Trigger warning! There is graphic content, abuse, violence, sexual violence, strong language...etc. If you can't handle any of those things, shy away from the book! Thank you ************ Excerpt: "You know, wouldn't it be fucked up if we were mates?" My face scrunched up, not only in disgust but worry about where he was going with his question. It would be the worst thing that I could imagine. There was a chance that if we were mates that he would lighten up and become the loving mate the moon goddess would have intended but that was a very slim chance. "Do you know what I would do if we were mates?" I shook my head; I didn't just mean it as I didn't know but I didn't want to know. He would probably reject me in the worst possible way he could think of. Or he would use the bond against me. I was already his slave but maybe there was something else that he could do that my innocent mind just couldn't conjure because I wasn't anything like him. I held my humanity close to me as if it would save me in the long run. I refused to be anything like my tormentors and I kept as true to myself as I could. He turned his body towards mine and I could see he was smirking at me but I got a bad feeling. "I would fuck you as hard as I possibly could and then I would kill you. You don't deserve to be a part of this pack but we need slaves just like any other. You truly disgust me and I hope that whoever your mate is rejects you. You're a sorry excuse for a she-wolf."

(Not finished, never will finish it. Funny to say, I wrote this back in my first year of high school for, honestly, shits and giggle but it blew up???? Idk... but I kinda just lost the original plot so it's all over the place, grammar doesn't make sense, nothing in this fucking book makes sense. So my apologies for the dear people whom have read this. I apologize for it being the way it is and how my mind just simply fucked it all up. I thought I could personally make my way up to the top and be so damn happy with it, yet looking back at my 14/15 year old self, it simply was a rich feeling that I was on top; to be honest, I felt like I was best out of all. Looking back and maturing A LOT, I don't feel or think that way. I understand we all have different writing skills or grammar; but that is simply just not in my case. I wrote this out of being greedy and thinking I simply wanted everyone to like it but turns out; even the painter hates its awful paintings. So you may read it if you would like, or don't. Just... idk, thinking about simply deleting it.) [But what I wanted to say is sorry. Sorry for breaking the many promises and wishes of the book to even made it this far.. younger me would have made it true yet knowing the older me wouldn't have.] (Y/N) had a one night-stand the night before her new job at Freddy's Pizzeria. Little does (Y/n) knows that guy she slept with is the co-owner of the Pizzeria. As she gets to kinda know this guy better, the more pain and suffering she goes though. Will (Y/n) stick around more? Will she leave him? (ALL PICTURES GOES TO THE ARTIST!!!) (CHARACTERS GO TO OWNERS!!) (ALL LYRICS GOES TO THE MUSIC ARTIST!!)

Their faces forever burned in his mind. Just as burned as the old country house he used to live in. His parents. The smoke. The Smoke. The Fire. That Damn Fire. The roof of their old farmhouse collapsing, closing off the exit. Their faces, burning, melting in the flames. He would never forget the image of their skin slowly melting off their faces. Horror in their eyes. There was one thing that Keith didn't understand. He never saw his parents when they died. All of it was in his head. His nightmares. <><><><> Keith Kogane, or Kathrine Kogane as his birth certificate says, is a trans-boy orphan who has gone from house to house, being rejected by all his families. He assumes this one is no different, but what he doesn't know is that this family is (What any family should be like) accepting of his choices. (Ok. I get it, I'm not very good at summaries and such but yeah...don't judge it by the summary. It's a lot better than it sounds ok) Warning. This is a mature story. There is a lot of fluff. And strong language. And depression. You have been warned. If you have a problem with gay, transgender, suicidal thoughts then don't read this book. Also, I am a shitty writer, a lot of this is based on other books I've read. There's a shit ton of stuff I got ideas from in my reading lists So go check those out. So yeah...enjoy my shitty writing. I've warned you. Please keep the comments nice, unless it is CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! Saying 'You suck' is not constructive. Written by: Me duh I had some help with some information on transgender people and some other stuff, @StormOrSkyBreakDown so not all of this is mine :) Also, the editing isn't completely done so when it is I'll be sure to change this message right here ;) Update on that last line, it's been two years and the editing is done. Not sure why I didn't change that but I guess I'll leave it in.

'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk. Hope you guys like the story. ____________ 2k16 edit: Howdy, how are you doing this godawful day? Burning in hell for your sins? Same! Great. Now that the formalities are out the window I'd just like to say... WHY AM I SUCH A DISGRACE TO MANKIND. What is this writing /-~-\ oh goodness gracious. How does this doodoo have 6k reads *siiiiiiiigh* My writing has improved at ton (I am assuming) and this was my first book so please, pretty pretty please don't hate me for all the mistakes and plot holes. I- I am very ashamed myself. And Engelesh is NOT my first language either so haaaaa, life. Mistakes were made so don't kill me. Okay, that's all for me. I still hope you somehow enjoy the story nonetheless and have a GREAT existence! ______ 2020 update So, I started writing this when I was 11. I am 18 now and haven't edited this since I was 15. I hope that says enough. Try to ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes!

DISCONTINUED (sorry. I was really into it at first... but now I just feel like I'm forcing myself to write when I don't want to. I'm not a writer, I'm just a bored high school kid. Thank you to everyone who read and enjoyed what I wrote though, it really means a lot.) So there's this adopted 16 year old gay stereotypical Hispanic kid named Triston, his adopted family sucks ass except for his older adopted brother Jake. (from state farm. jk. sorry) Jake's a cool dude. Anyway, so like, a new kid comes to school, he's like hot and shit and everyone loves him. (cause he's hot and shit) His name's Brandon he's 17. He's nice to everyone but like doesn't really date or flirt or whatever. (not even with Triston's hot and popular bitchy "sister"! *dramatic gasp*) Triston doesn't think Brandon's gay, but he might be? idk? So, I'll get to the point now, Triston and Brandon have all they're classes together and coincidentally ("coincidence") end up sitting next to each other in all of them so they like bond or whatever. Will this spring up romance?? (Fuck it, we all know it will, or else why did I even bother to write this gay shit? they fall in love happily ever after. the end. yay!)
