All I Want (Remus Lupin/reader)
This story is a slow burn between you and Remus Lupin. It takes place during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Y/N's second year out of Hogwarts is nothing like she could have ever imagined... romance, tragedy, and adventure TW!!: DEATH, SWEARING, EVENTUAL SMUT, AGE GAP, and MAJOR SPOILERS I DO NOT own any of the characters other than Y/N and her parents. I made up this side story but I do not own the real ones (obviously) :) Highest Rank 5/3/21 #1 remuslupinxreader 7/22/21 #3 remuslupinComplete
Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice. I'm so grateful!Complete
𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 || Ekko x Reader
"𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝙳𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝" They say. So why is Death so cruel? Why does Death take away the ones who want to live the most? Why does it feel like Death wants to take the ones who deserve to live the most? Why does Death let the undeserving live? These questions were always in Ekko's mind ever since he was young. He could never understand how death works, and as he grew he got even more confused. He was always the type to value life, he was just born like that. With a good heart. But what happens when Ekko meets Death herself? Maybe not the actual death, since it is a phenomenon, but the incarnation of Death, who is no older than him. What if he learns to love Death, not knowing the secrets that she holds? And what will he do when he learns just how bad of a match they are? And what will Death do for 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 a boy? 【Ｓｔａｒｔｅｄ】: 12/08/24 【Ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅｄ】: 01/06/25Complete
Aymee Parker B2 - The Cursed Mark
English version of the second volume of Aymee Parker's serie. Aymee returns for her second year at Hogwarts and, contrary to what she thought, the tensions between the houses are far from being appeased. On the contrary! Since this damn mark appeared, everyone is looking for a culprit! Not to mention the return of Annelise Chevalier, who seems determined to discover her secret. "Dear students, we present to you the Mark of the Loser. Whoever wears it will be the victim of their karma. Friendship will be your salvation or your end here. Justice will be done: you are solely responsible for your misfortunes." On the side of the colony, it is not better! Relations are just as catastrophic: everyone is choosing sides, there are even spies! Aymee fears that the great prophecy will come true and destroy the closest thing she has to a home. Sources for this volume: - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (for lessons and all) - Percy Jackson 2 - Sea of Monsters - The Demigods diaries (especially Son of Magic, which follows Alabaster) (It's set in 1989-90. The universes belong to JKRowling and RRiordan respectively. I just created the story and some characters. There are some jokes that are inspired from Pinterest or Tumblr. Please do not plagiarize!)

The Time-Traveller's Choice
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Complete
I Became the Timekeeper: Juno and the Minutes of her Shattered Deaths
(WARNING: THIS IS A STORY OF INSANITY. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) Juno Luminara wields a devastating gift: the power to rewind time at the cost of her own death. Each rewind leaves her scarred with the memory of brutal ends and failures only she can recall. As the chosen Timekeeper, Juno faces a collapsing world consumed by the Void, a force of pure entropy twisting reality into nightmares and spawning monstrous rifts. Her abilities make her humanity's last hope-but also its greatest target. Every use of her power drags Juno closer to madness, blurring the line between reality and illusion. To stop the Void, she must navigate fractured timelines, uncover hidden truths, and outmaneuver enemies who would steal her power. Yet time itself is her greatest adversary, threatening to trap her in an endless cycle of despair. Armed with her wits, determination, and a mysterious system that both aids and endangers her, Juno must fight to rewrite fate before she becomes just another lost fragment in a collapsing timeline. But as the clock ticks down, one question remains: how long can she cheat death before it finally claims her?
