Summer of Death || [COMPLETED] de Echo_Rizz

In a city that never loved him, a broken soul searches for meaning in pills, lies, and petty crime. He needed money. He needed a way out. What he didn't need was to get stuck in a haunted bookstore with nothing but a relic of a book and the ghosts in his head. Diagnosed with ADHD and abandoned by trust, he's long since learned to trick, steal, and survive. But as hallucinations twist reality and memories return, he's forced to confront the pain he's run from. A ghost from his past urges him to change-but change doesn't come easy. After days trapped in madness, the door opens. He's free... but not unchanged. Hallucinations become memories, and a visit from a long-lost friend pushes him toward something unfamiliar: hope. When the lock finally breaks, he's still chaotic, still rough-but a sliver of warmth begins to grow, especially toward the brother he swore he didn't care for. --------------------------------------------------------------- !!

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn} de Run-Dont-Walk

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

Not the Only One de IcyLeopard

"I'm not perfect. If you know my life story it would change your mind," I admit, looking down. Yes, I hate my past and yes, I'm most definitely not perfect. I untangle myself from Dante and get off the bed, turning to look at them all. "I need to go back to my hotel room to change." The response is instantaneous. All men frown and begin to protest. "You're staying here, sweetheart-" "Don't do this, love-" "Babygirl, stay with us-" I'm sure they don't all love me that much. It's probably a short-term love, temporary. I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious. "Wear ours!" they all exclaim at once. * * * * * * * Lexi has moved countries to escape her past and start a new life. She wants to make her own decisions and live her own life without people judging her. A charming man meets her and helps her get settled. She meets two other charming young men who help her. Each man helps her in different ways, yet she is attracted to them all the same. As she struggles with her mental health and tries not to drown into the depths of depression, it seems as though her past is too strong and she will never get better. No one can help her. Will Lexi succumb to depression, or will not only one, but three men, help her live the life she has spent so long looking for? WARNING!!! Contains scenes including suicide attempts, depression, brutal rape, extreme verbal and physical abuse, mature scenes, self harm (and things I may have forgotten) - It may be triggering to some people - If this is you, please don't read if it might trigger you I'm always here if anyone needs to talk

Ink and Obsession de ScarlettLHart

***This story is currently being edited before publishing to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited*** When dreams become obsession, and obsession becomes possession... Fiadh Caer thought her nightmares were behind her. A cult survivor hiding in the town of Valsgard, Minnesota, she works at the local motorcycle club bar under a false name, rationing sleep medication to keep the horrors at bay. But when her pills run low and desperation drives her to seek extra work, she walks into Obsidian Ink - and comes face to face with the man who's been invading her dreams. Aengus O'Sullivan is a world-famous tattoo artist who fled Chicago after his stalker was shot in self defense. In Valsgard, he thought he'd found peace. Then the dreams started - visions of a wounded woman calling his name. When that woman appears in his studio seeking work, he's convinced fate brought her to him. What starts as protectiveness quickly spirals into dangerous obsession as he uses his influence to control every aspect of her life. But Fiadh is caught between two supernatural stalkers. While Aengus claims her waking hours, Cian Mor, the man with no mouth - a mute cult member who's hunted her across states - has found her in her dreams. As her medication runs out and her defenses crumble, both men close in for a final confrontation that will determine whether love can triumph over possession. Because some bonds are forged in ink and blood, and some hunts never end. Book 1 in the "Of Gods and Monsters" series - each book is a standalone dark romance Dual POV • Celtic Mythology Retelling of Aengus Óg • Standalone with Series Arc Content Warnings: Stalking, psychological manipulation, trauma/PTSD, cult references, medication dependency, dubious consent elements, violence, ritualistic scarring
