"...what is good and evil when the supreme judge is but the one with perishable power and an obsession to reach godliness..." 

Theseus Hearst's life used to be pretty stable and normal- as can be of any college going boy- until his roommate gets murdered one fateful night. A murder that blankets a shadowy motive and points to places Theseus has never believed in, because magic is a farce. Father Christmas is a parent, God is an excuse for a blame game, and the demons live within. Moreover, his best friend starts acting strangely after she meets a certain someone who he's sure has something to do with the growing case of murders. As not-so-strangers herald chaos into his carefully planned life and logical beliefs, he isn't quite sure of what the truth really is. 

Summer Atkins really loves her family. But once she moved out of her home and began to read more into the history of her kind, she can't say for sure if she truly believes in her family's way of living- which is quite different from how her kind tend to live. Not to mention the unexplainable dreams she's been having that seems to be slowly morphing into reality. For Summer may be a witch but her way of living and poor grasp over her emotions doesn't give her much pride or power over her identity, which, considering the fact that ancient secrets are stirring, might just cost her more than her own life.All Rights Reserved

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Stranger by naii_reads1111

Nevaeh Gerard killed her mother. She's the reason her mother is dead. And her father always made sure she knew it. Always reminded her of it. Which is why she was relieved when her father went missing 5 years ago. She'd finally be able to quit hunting for good, live her normal, apple pie life with her perfect boyfriend, and go to college, just like she'd dreamed of since a little girl. Just like her big brother encouraged her to. His life was ruined because of hunting, but her life doesn't have to. But that Ill-fated dream is squashed when her brother stops returning her phone calls, and 1 week later, Dean Winchester, a childhood friend who she hasn't seen for 6 years, breaks into her apartment and tells her that the disappearance of her brother and both their fathers is all somehow connected to her. Now, she's sucked right back into the life she so desperately fought to get out of.

where ghosts wander || ONC 2022 by nadunawrites

Lila Unwinter is not a very talented witch; she mostly has a lot of ambition, determination, and enough spite to last her a few hundred years. How else was she supposed to survive the past sixteen years, after she lost both her best friend and her family over something she can barely even remember now? They're not dead, of course, but for all that they care about her, she might as well be. But then her magic decides to send her home for lunch break one day, and she not only finds out about a curse that's taken hold of her way back when she was only six years old, but also reconnects with her childhood friend (who's considerably less alive now). A series of events unfolds that may well redefine Lila's perception of both love and magic itself. Featuring: way too many ghosts, the town at the Edge of the world, knife and sword-wielding girls, sapphic childhood-friends-to-lovers, ghost kitties, weird magic and magical creatures, and a certain three-headed dog. ________________ an entry for the open novella contest 2022

Deadly Silent | Book 2 by twelvewonderingstars

[BOOK TWO] "Anniversaries to some are like counting the years spent doing something great, years spent together, or years spent alive." I started slowly, voice dropping to a drawl as I peeked cautiously out of my bedroom blinds, scanning the road to see if there was a cloaked figure watching my every movement. "I view anniversaries as counting down the days till death finds me." *** After the events of her wonderfully packed 21st birthday, Addison was ready to retire back into her home and never again see the light of day. It wasn't a totally bad idea. After all, her family's generations-old riches was enough to tide her over until the day her past finally catches on, and until that day finally arrives, she had no intention to step out of her front door. And to think the last time she did, she ended up in the game of cat and mouse with a cynical hooded spirit that wanted her dead and her soul in a glass bottle for his own little sadistic collection. Silence had followed the whole year after the disastrous party. For nearly 365 days, Addison had no trouble with unwanted evil celestial beings lurking around her house in an attempt to take her soul away with a world-stopping kiss. However, the silence was too often, and the world had become too quiet. Reason being? Apparently, Death's new move was to kidnap her best friend Minnie Hoover in an attempt to bait her down to hell itself. Life became much quieter without one-third of her little clique. And so Addison ventured away from the safety of her home, in search of her best friend. After all, silence creeps the heart just as death does, and the world was now deadly silent. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #9 Highest Rank Teen Fiction: #77

Michael's Ghost Girl by martykate1

This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister Kit

My Demon Killer (Destiel Fanfic) by beezlepuff

"Your time's up." He mocked, while sitting in the chair. "What?? That wasn't the deal we agreed on!" "Oh, but I don't play by the rules." He grinned, and oh- he...he has black eyes... Was that a tail??! "What are you!!?" "Buddy, I'm a demon." He let out a howling laugh. - - (SUMMARY)- With a new case at hand, Special Agent Novak will take whatever it takes to find the man with thirty-nine deaths and counting to his name, because he's just some other delusional man out there, right? Oh, but with deals happening behind the scenes, our killer just wants to have his fun. Humans are just pretty little things, he isn't worried. That Agent? Agent Novak? Another intresting toy.
