I finished this story in nanowrimo, 2015, and I haven't looked back since.
Sorry to the one person (maybe?) who may have been holding up hope for a sequel or an edit
No, you aren't getting one.

"Of course I don't. I'm just stating the obvious." He stood up from the stool and flicked his eyes over his shoulder, to look at Ciara. "I could, a) Break through the window," He pointed behind him, towards the massive window behind the bar. "b) I could run away," He paused again for a moment, weighing up the options. "Or finally, c) I could help the pretty girl in the story get away from the thug."
Brendan scoffed mockingly once again. "And which option would you choose, ballet boy?"
"Well," he turned his head to wink at Ciara. "Who can't resist saving a damsel in distress?"

Kyran is a Demon. Born and bred in the depths of Edom, a dimension of hell, his father granted him a job - to kill the Ordinary Dead. It just so happens that his first assignment is Ciara Hunter, a beautiful girl Kyran could not dare to assassinate. What happens when a reaper finds they cannot summon the ability to kill?

I feel like writing this terrible novel was the low point in my life. Read if you must. It's only still up here because of the amount of reads I have.

To Survive A Harem System - Lucas Owens' Edition
An AU fanfic of My Daily Life With A Monster Harem by UnknownFate25. Lucas Owens is a curious case. He certainly looked average: He goes to school, has a nice family, a few good friends. Although he was a bit less social than most, he was mostly normal. Except for his tendency to imitate a few characters from media and games he likes... He's just the average guy you would barely notice in a classroom other than when he is near his group. It all changed when he wakes up to the [Harem System]. He is thrown head first into a new world: The world of the Supernatural. It surely didn't help that this system strongly favored Monster Girls! How is Lucas supposed to survive with many monster girls after him!? Can he even handle the new attention brought on by this [System]? This journey will be littered with many trials to overcome. Paths intertwined, the red threads have been connected... The Wheel of Fate is Turning! Heaven or Hell? Let us begin! This parody is primarily concentrated in approaching the combat and adding a lot of references to what I, SoulDipper, have an interest to. Including, but not limited to, fighting games (Guilty Gear and BlazBlue in particular) and whatever I can get my gremlin hands on post-production of this parody. This story is set in an alternative "timeline" with slight changes here and there but having same ideas and locations. Furthermore, romance is not going to be the main focus in this parody. If anything, this might be considered as an anti-romance in my very "capable" hands.
The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2)
(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.Complete![LET ME PROTECT YOU [Ace X fem! reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/376407986-256-k147675.jpg)
LET ME PROTECT YOU [Ace X fem! reader]
"After you're done with everything here on this island. Would you like to maybe- join our crew? For real this time." His eyes light up with hope. "I don't think I'll make it before you leave-" You look away, not bearing to face his piercing stare anymore. "I can wait-" he interrupts, letting go of your hand as quickly as he took it. "I mean uhh... me and the crew... we can wait for you," he stutters out. "This place seems pretty cool. I wouldn't mind staying here for a few more days." "We'll see," you softly chuckle in an attempt to hide your blank eyes. "I mean, who else is supposed to save you when you're halfway beaten to death?" Hearing his halfhearted laugh sent a striking pain through your chest. You swallow hard to keep a sob from escaping your throat as you realise this might be the last time you ever hear it. Tears roll down your cheeks, blurring your vision as you lock eyes with the freckled man you've been dreaming about for the past months. The familiar warmth tingles on your skin as he gently cups your face, his thumb carefully wiping away the tears on your cheek. Without breaking your gaze he leans in closer and whispers, "I don't want to be saved by anybody else, y/n." Ace x fem reader Started September 10th 2024 disclaimers! I do not own the cover art.

Just the janitor | Yandere heroes x male reader
In a world of superpowered beings, it's natural some become heroes to try and better the world such as Scarlett the Bold, Janice the shield, Mary the healer, and the one everyone fawns over: Stardust. As cheesy as it is to say, "With great power comes with great responsibility." So they formed the hero's guild under the name: Justice. To keep not only themselves in check but any future heroes who come to take up the mantle of preserving peace and justice. And then there's you; No powers, no great feats of achievement. Just a regular person trying to go about his days worrying about the future rather than saving lives. After hearing your mother complain about your need to get a job after graduation, you come across an advertisement online that grabs your attention. Not knowing what the future has in store for you, we can only pray god will have mercy on your soul. -------------------------- Hey guys welcome back to another story I hopefully won't delete after a week again! I've got nothing else going on, and I'm seeing a lack of male reader yandere stories recently. The yandere tag is filled with girl stuff that I can't read lmao. Anyways, I've got basically nothing going on outside of work so expect frequent updates. Until I hit burnout, but we'll find out how it goes. But I do hope you enjoy this story! There are some warnings as it'll get dark, fairly quickly. Trigger warnings I guess could be: Torture, manipulation, gaslighting, love bombing, kidnapping, and a slight amount of gore. I'll update this as I add more chapters. update February 12 2026: removed certain aspects containing imagery generated from ai. ew. just ew. screw ai. #1 MaleReader 5/23/24 #1 Gaslighting 5/23/24 #1 Yanderegirl 5/23/24 #1 Hero 6/12/24Complete

- Being drowned on your way to work wasn't what you thought you'd start out your day with, you also didn't expect to meet the first man and his stoic subordinate after arriving in heaven. He later on offered you to be his secretary and during meetings, you just have to "stick it to the man and write shit down" whatever that means. Now, being his "right hand hustler" (stated by the man himself) and as crude of a nickname that is; you were a little peeved off by it, however, you tried to go along your day and ignore his.. odd way of jokes. You go through a lot of questionable events and the more you stick beside him, the more he becomes clingy and touchy.. He also goes on about Lucifer, the king of hell, and how you should stay away from him and not to fall into his charms. After that one meeting with the princess, you were very surprised when Adam allowed you to go down to hell and check out Lucifer's whiny bitch of a daughter's hotel, the Hazbin Hotel, as she called it. Humans are very curious creatures, including yourself and with one of them already falling for you in heaven, let's just hope that empathic side of yours doesn't interest anyone else from below. - [ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ ʜᴀᴢʙɪɴ ʜᴏᴛᴇʟ x ᴍᴀʟᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ] ...

"Oh I..I'm I'm..?" The words wouldnt form. I backed up slowly as he cocked his head to the side, confusion on his face. Then he did the last thing I expected, he smiled.

I opened them to see him coming towards me. I backed up until I hit wall behind me. He kept coming until he was inches from my face. He slammed his hands on either side of my head, blocking any exit. I kept my eyes on anything but his face. "I'm.. I didn't..please" What happens when the new guy in school is a convicted felon? Sadie is a good girl but she gets lost in his troubled past.

Fallen Again
While watching the movie and reading the books, a YouTube video discussing how plot twists and different character arcs could have improved the movie sparked some scenes and debates among us in the book club. So my friend and I decided to rewrite the movie with some better plot twists. This was thought of in a car after escaping an awkward dinner. Fair warning, we lost some brain cells along the way and jumped off the diving board and lost the plot. This book is an adventure that made me cry and throw my phone. Enjoy. "You are a monster, Cam," I rasped, my voice thick with loathing. The truth of it vibrated in my bones. "Perhaps," he'd conceded, a chilling smile touching his lips. "But at least I'm an honest one. And I'm willing to do what's necessary." Luce, a faint, almost imperceptible scoff escaping me. "Gabby?" I repeated, as if the idea was ludicrous. "Gabby and I aren't together. Never have been." Luce stared at me, stunned. "But... I saw her kiss you." I merely shrugged, a hint of something cynical in my eyes. "People do stupid things at parties. Doesn't mean anything." "Quite a show, Price," he said, his voice low, almost a purr. "Lucky you had Daniel to catch you, huh?" The subtle emphasis on 'Daniel' was not lost on Luce.
