A constraint dichotomy of real-life as "playing dead" versus the absolute manic chaos of mentally ill teenagers spiraling together as madness overtakes them both.

Excerpt:
	"What're you looking at, Coke Zero?" Eleonora accused from across the street, watching as her words roused the black-haired teen out of his mindless daze. She didn't really care about the answer, and she didn't mind the absent staring.
	And he hadn't been staring at her, really. She was a curious object his eyes had landed on, but his mind was on another planet, never on her. He was brought back to earth by her playful statement, and Eleonora watched as his distant expression turned miserable and he muttered, "Bitch," before loudly pouring the plethora of empty soda cans into the recycling bin and slamming the top shut. 

A/N: This is, I guess, a Marianas Trench Fanfiction. It's my own story and I'd like to edit it to eventually rewrite it t get published as an original work, but for now, I guess this is a High School AU of sorts for Josh Ramsay and the members of Marianas Trench. Because this is being written with the idea of a novel and not just a fanfiction, It'll probably be close to 15 really long chapters.

Stupid! (Piers Nivans x Reader) by TD-Yukiryuu

#1 in "nivans" on 6/20/2019 "Good?" He huffed. "You call this 'good'? Do you have any idea how much of a trouble it was to get you to safety? Do you even know how difficult it was to take the damned J'avos down while having to carry your lifeless body out of there, and all the way to this place?! If it hadn't been for Chris, you'd be dead by now! Good thing he was there to save you! I seriously don't know how he manages to put up with rookies like you!" He snarled at me. "I... I'm sorry..." I managed to utter with a strangled tone. "'Sorry' won't do it." He sighed heavily. "Really... the thing you did back there... that was stupid! Absolutely stupid! What were you thinking?!"

Those Who Return at Dawn [Greek Mythology] [Romantic Fantasy] by UntilNextLife

"There were many legends and stories about werewolves and vampires, dragons and elves, spirits and demons, but why couldn't he find any record about a being who lived, yet seemed not to exist in this world? Was this ritual dangerous? Summoning demons? Sacrificing his soul? Luther closed his eyes tightly. Deep down, he knew what his decision was. He needed an answer to his fifteen-year-long question." This is the story of two boys who awaken their divinities (a reaper and a sun god.) One was born with everything. The other lost the only few things he had. What will happen when the Flow of Destiny intertwines their lives? This is a story about salvation and being saved, about life and death, about exploration and adventure, about kinship, friendship, and love. Follow Luther and Aaron as they wander through the boundless Cosmos; strolling the magical market Mariana, diving into the silent depths of the Tranquil Sea, riding the Orion Express under starlit skies, visiting Sicily the city of blossoms and fruit, travelling the Heart of the Cosmos, crossing the wilds of Anasia, climbing the Tower of Tomorrow, and countless other realms where wonder never ends. What to expect: - OP MCs. - Fantasy worlds/food/species ... - Found family. - Slice of life. - Lots of cozy moments, yet the stakes are still there. - Slow burn romance (Strangers to friends to family to lovers, oblivious x oblivious.) - Cute pets. Imagine a blend of Harry Potter (a hidden magical world in a modern setting) and Percy Jackson (Descendants of Greek Gods) with a Ghibli vibe. Though told through young eyes, I hope this tale may also be read as a fairytale for grown souls: a heart-warming and wholesome adventure, with a hint of darkness and a pinch of sadness. Warnings: - Gay. No sexual content. - The story takes references from Greek mythology, Dante's Inferno, and Ars Goetia, but will add, remove, and modify many different details. Please consider this as an alternate universe.

Maybe by IronyDreams

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Becoming Her Dark Side by CHURCHILLCYRIL

They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.

In the Moonlight [Completed] by Red_Pheonix26

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble.

Warning: this story is sometimes very cliché and has a few of my own twists on it. The guy might make you cry, laugh or blush and wish guys like him existed in real life. (Well, at least further into the story.) This story contains swearing and some slightly mature content. You have been warned.

KLAUS'S NIGHTMARE ABOUT HUMAN CENTIPEDE: SECOND SEQUENCE by K_Amberbeeofficial

Klaus never imagined his life would spiral into a nightmare of blood, trauma, and twisted family ties. His once-normal existence shattered when his best friend, Colton, embarked on a sickening experiment, sewing people together in a grotesque imitation of a centipede. What started as a dark curiosity quickly morphed into a sadistic obsession, and Klaus found himself trapped in Colton's nightmarish plans. With his friends-Joseph, Amybeth, and twin sister Elijah-caught in Colton's grip, Klaus was forced to confront his worst fears. The person he trusted most had become a monster, and survival meant making impossible choices. As Colton's madness grew, Klaus battled his own guilt and terror while trying to save those he loved. The bloodshed reached horrifying heights, and despite his best efforts, Klaus couldn't escape the grip of Colton's cruelty. When the violence finally stopped, the echoes of Colton's insanity lingered, leaving Klaus with more than just physical scars. As he pieces together a life that will never be the same, Klaus is left to face the truth: the nightmare will never fully end. [This book, like the rest of the KNAHC series, is pure satire-a crack fic making fun of The Human Centipede. I don't actually like the films or the South Park episode, but my best friend, Colton, does and loves body horror. This was inspired by a nightmare I had at 13 during summer vacation in Seaside Heights, Nj, after watching The Human Centipad with Colton.]

The Middle - Volume Two ✔️ by jamiesquared2

#3 - Shocks 27/9/19 "Don't hold back." I whisper, and he brings his face up to look into my eyes. He looks conflicted, but the lust raging inside of him is enough to override the conflict. And in a split second, he snaps his hips forward and I feel my mouth fly open of its own accord. The air leaves my lungs, but I don't care. All I can feel is him, and it's all I want to feel. I tense, adjusting to the sudden feeling of fullness he's given me, and he pauses. He's completely bottomed out inside of me, but he isn't moving. "Fuck, Jamie. I don't wanna hurt you." He groans into my neck, and in response, I snap my own hips up into him, desperately trying to feel what he made me feel the last time we were in a situation like this. "I'm fine. Make me cum." I breathe, and it's enough. My words have the desired effect. He pulls back, before slamming himself back into me. It's hard, and it's fast, and it's exactly what I want. I feel myself clench around him on reflex as my body reacts to what he's doing to me. He groans from the sensation. "I won't last long if you keep that up." He says, before burying himself into me even harder still. "Either will I!" I yell as he continues fucking me. Hot, hard, wet and fast. The best sex I have ever participated in, no question. He slides his hands down so that he's gripping onto my butt cheeks, before elevating me slightly, creating an almost perfect angle while he pumps into me. Jesus! I never knew sex could be this good. I moan and curse and scream his name shamelessly, feeling the build growing stronger and stronger by the second. I'm gonna shatter. Fuck, I'm about to cum... *** The night of the NBU Halloween Dance was very dramatic for Jamie Hawkins, Noah Adams and all their friends... What will happen the morning after? The Middle Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off. Read my story "The Middle" before reading this one, or it will make absolutely zero eff-ing sense. [Complete Series, Volumes 1 - 4 out now]

The Last In Line | Eddie Munson X Reader by SumBullshit

A year ago, the world ripped itself apart, and took him with it. Since then, the cracks in the earth have only grown, splitting streets, poisoning the air, and leaving the last stragglers to rot in the ruins. She's not here to hide. She's not here to hope. She's here to fight. Because the bastard that started this is still out there, and she intends to end him. And when the sky turns black and the ground starts shaking again, she won't run.

This book does use "(Y/n)," but I tried to use it as sparingly as possible. Mentions of smoking, being able to fit hair in a scrunchy, and two mentions of a haircut. --------Trigger Warnings-------- One instance of animal harm(chapter 1). A lot of blood. Heavy profanity. Character death. A lot of gun talk and use. Horror/Gore/Vomit imagery (intense at times). Mentions of drug use. Mature topics. Implications of poor mental health. Spoilers for Season 4 of Stranger Things. Non-canon endings for the series. ------------------------------ This is an Eddie Munson fanfic. The year is 1987.
