Sarah Enríquez lives stuffed within a skinny frame, stuffed within soggy puddles, and stuffed within the muddy walls of Lo Vásquez Retiro, an Argentine Catholic youth camp. She grovels before Christ and endures the worst of those around her, escaping into the bushland to pray and sleep. She hurts.

Sarah isn't alone. She fears the resident psychopath; little does she know, through passion, psychosis, and this very individual, her fragile life will take a turn for the fantastical. 

Chapter titles inspired/taken from Mariana Enriquez.

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019 by Kehanni

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too.

The Artist's Muse by Kexthefuzzy

In the heart of Italy, a vampire artist named Sebastian has spent centuries creating hauntingly lifelike portraits of a woman he's never met. At least, not in this lifetime. When she finally appears at his latest exhibition, he's captivated by the living muse who has unknowingly inspired his masterpieces through the ages. As their connection deepens, she uncovers a hidden truth within his paintings-clues that reveal her past lives and their tragic love story, trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Haunted by a dark force that has twisted their fate, Sebastian must convince his muse to trust him before time runs out. But as they delve deeper into the mysteries of their past, they awaken a shadow-self born from the pain of their shattered love-a force determined to ensure they can never be together. Caught between his eternal obsession and the forbidden magic that binds her soul, Sebastian faces a harrowing choice: destroy the art that has defined him or lose his muse forever. The Artist's Muse is a supernatural romance blending themes of reincarnation, obsession, and the timeless struggle between love and destiny. Will they break the cycle and find redemption, or are they doomed to repeat their tragedy for eternity?
