Dangerous || Henry Danger by teenyrocket
41 parts Complete Mature
When Nia, a quiet, misunderstood girl from New York with a grunge edge and a complicated past, is kicked out of her parents' home, she moves in with her cousin Charlotte in the small, deceptively quiet town of Swellview. Nia doesn't smile easily, doesn't trust quickly, and carries the weight of things she doesn't say. She's all chipped black nails, oversized band tees, and combat boots-blending rebellion and silence like armor. Charlotte's world is bright and orderly. Nia's? Chaotic and heavy. But when Nia meets Henry Hart-golden boy, walking tension, constantly disappearing-something clicks. Not in a soft way. In a slow, aching, what-the-hell-is-this kind of way. Jasper, with his awkward charm and surprising depth, is the first to get close. He sees something in Nia no one else ever tried to see. They start something real. But Henry... Henry sees through her. And she sees through him, too. Why does he vanish so much? Why does he show up bleeding, breathless, lying? Why does Kid Danger-a masked hero Nia once crushed on like a fairytale-feel so familiar? While relationships burn and unravel, secrets ignite a slow fall into chaos. Nia's mother is hiding something dark. Missions are getting more dangerous. And someone on the inside wants Nia gone. With heartbreak, lust, danger, betrayal, and messy, human love, Static Hearts is a slow-burning, spiraling descent into the lives of heroes who are barely holding it together-and the girl who just might tear it all apart.

The Immortal Quartet (First Draft Beta Reader Version) by AlexaKeiArt
40 parts Complete Mature
Talented violinist Wren Cotter is scouted for a transfer from her university to an elite private academy. All seems good and well until she meets her fellow students. Vampires and magic? Such things may seem intimidating, yet Wren continues to stay true to herself and strive to become a renowned composer, doing everything in her power to ignore the fact that she now lives in a den of supernatural beings. Though as the days go by, she gets closer to those around her, eventually finding herself receiving the attention of four vampires who are inexplicably drawn to her. Content warnings: • respectful treatment of women and queer people; • positive depictions of polyamory and polifidelity; • consensual intimacy (trust me there are people out there that need this CW); • graphic sex scenes (straight, gay, threesome). Trigger warnings: • blood and vampiric shenanigans; • mentions of death and burning alive; • loss of parents and related grief; • dubcon (kinda? will need help figuring out if this is actually true or if i can remove this from the list). This is the first draft of the novel and is published on Wattpad for the sake of hopefully receiving feedback to improve the story.

(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)

Ruined Softly by dvelazquez93
32 parts Complete Mature
It started with a moan behind closed doors. It ended with her blindfolded, wrecked, and begging for more. Aria was the quiet assistant. The good girl. Until the night Roman Hayes caught her touching herself - not to porn, not to fantasy... but to the sound of her boss fucking someone else. He didn't fire her. He offered her a choice: Enter his world. No strings. No shame. No one can know. Now she's crawling through velvet hallways in stilettos, learning what it means to be owned, worshipped, and ruined by a man who swore he'd never love again. She calls him Sir - but nothing feels casual about the way he touches her. Nothing feels safe about how fast she's falling. He said it was just an arrangement. She said she could handle it. But obsession doesn't play by the rules. And when softness ruins a man like Roman... there's no going back.
