06 June - mostly yes, but partly no by tuoheight

It is the morning before the summer solstice and Charon Juet's life is ruined. Or anyway, that's what her mother has just told her. The following day is Charon's 40th birthday and there is nothing to celebrate. Born on a momentous day in the history of Mars, Pennsylvania, Charon Juet was expected to live a charmed life. Instead, she pours coffee, flips pancakes, and fends off unwanted compliments from the patrons of the only diner in Mars. With little to lose, Charon asks a stranger to come home with her. At the doorstep, Charon is stopped by a small lie she told earlier in the day. It was the kind of lie we tell strangers all the time. Or maybe it was mostly a lie, but (also) partly the truth. Regardless, it was truly truly absolutely the worst timing ever.

Shadows by MariamRagab_30

"I'm telling you that I'm not just being paranoid, everything leads to this. You're my best friend, and you have to believe me, I'm not imagining things." "No, you always do this, you always play detective, and I'm honestly getting tired of this, when will you stop trying to live in one of your thriller novels? You have to wake up, this is real life and I'm finally happy. Why do you have to do this every time?" "I'm not doing anything, even you can't deny that things have been strange from the moment we stepped foot here, I'm afraid. You have seen the notes I got. That person is coming after me next." "No, I'm done with you and your constant worries. I can no longer keep up with you, so I'm simply done." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurora is a teenage girl who did everything she could to get accepted into her dream university. Esperanza University. The university that was supposed to be the gateway to all the dreams she wanted to achieve after graduating. Little did she know that it would not be the gateway to anything but to her own personal hell, just like the ones she always reads about in her thriller novels but always thought were too fictional to happen in real life.

Alphanumeric by JacksonSpencer_MW

There is a world populated entirely with living numbers and letters. When dyslexic teenager Stu accidentally transports himself there, his arrival triggers a prophecy that pulls the two rival communities into war. To escape, he must teach a young vowel he befriended how to count. Because letters that count become variables, and variables can use geometry... to fly. In his quest to return home, Stu will have to navigate the dangerous and angular System of Numbers, ruled by the Prime Constants. He will find allies in the neighbouring Land of Letters, governed by the Council of Vowels. As he explores the many sides of this intimidating, mysterious and fascinating world, Stu will finally be forced to face his crushing fear of flying in order to escape. But more than anything, Stu will fight desperately to save Yana, the one vowel who helped him, who trusted him and who is now blaming him for the chaos of alphanumerical war that Stu's arrival has brought into her life. But as the battle begins, Stu may already be too late.

The Mathematician (Book 1) by TheBibicalSinner

"I could tutor you, but I don't think you'd be able to concentrate." • • • When Cassandra Berry gets offered a shitload of money and a place at any college of her choice, just to con a man and getting pregnant with a said man, the answer seems pretty straight forward; Yes. - But Harry Xavier Devon is no mere fool. With two millennium prizes on his back and renowned around the world as the next Newton within mathematics, Harry easily sees through his brother's ploy to have a woman seduce him and get her pregnant when he himself can't have children. His brother in desperate need of an heir for his business empire, but Harry has no intentions of playing the scapegoat. Flipping the play against his brother, he pays Cassandra double the money to continue lying to his brother that they *are* having sex. He thinks he's gotten his revenge when it suddenly appears he's gotten more than he bargained for. Cassandra is no shy woman, or as previously thought, just a money-grabbing whore. Stuck in the same house together for a whole summer could prove to teach the mathematician that some things can *never* be calculated... - Especially when dealing with a (horny) woman.

Secrets, Lies and Dragonflies by unconditionalconsumr

Once upon a time, in a small Carolina border town, there lived a woman and her dead best friend's kids. Orphaned at fifteen, Mackenzie Temple can't exactly fly under the radar. People still whisper about those poor children that deceased, alcoholic mother left behind. To make sure her new surrogate parent doesn't regret her decision, Mackenzie sticks to two simple rules: Head down. Grades up. But when an evening of rule bending kicks off a chain of unfortunate events, Mackenzie's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. And that mysterious mountain boy isn't making things any easier. Meanwhile, her strange Art History class taught by even stranger teachers embarks on a field trip, taking the concept of strange to a whole new level. Was learning how to track evil creatures even on the course syllabus? With chunks of memories missing, Mackenzie's world falls deeper into chaos. For her little brother's sake, she can no longer hide behind her books. Facing enemies, old and new, she must act or lose the very thing she's tried so hard to protect. Secrets must be kept. Lies must be told. Monsters must be stopped.

Scorpio by Turtles5188

A desert-town math whiz meets an ambidextrous artist, a Scorpio... in the wake of a best friend's death, two white envelopes that freak people out, and a diamond pearl that might be LSD. In the outskirts of Las Vegas, freshman Aurora (a.k.a. Ari) takes refuge in calculus and probability problems to escape the demons of her painful past. Math was what the prestigious prep school Staglight Academy had recruited her for-her, a girl from the wrong side of the train tracks. Plus, numbers are logical; math makes sense. This predictable world built on immutable mathematical theorems doesn't plague you with chronic insomnia, doesn't let Katrina-your best friend-die, and definitely doesn't hurl a tornado through the middle of the Mohave. But a desert cyclone is exactly how their twin escapes begin-Ari, running from the horrors that have chased her throughout time, and Xanexa, running from the horrors that have chased xyr across the universe. They run until they meet, when Ari comes face-to-face with xyr, an amazing artist whose sketches are so real they could come to life. From that initial encounter, she begins to discover the dangerous, life-threatening truths that had been buried with Katrina. Under an increasingly constricting web of manipulation and deceit that imperil Ari and those around her, those truths resurface with the ones about herself that had been buried beneath the sands of time-truths that are wholly irrational, just like art-- --and pi, a number xe shows her the end to, even though it is real, irrational, natural, and never-ending.

Letters from a Star by ruru_222

After her best friend's untimely death, Aurora finds herself stuck in a pit of despair. The joy of life has been sucked out of her and nothing feels real anymore. If she had to use one word to describe her world...she would pick 'numb'. She's freefalling into a pit of despair, fighting between her desire to overcome the grief and forgive her own mistakes...And the fear that she might repeat the things she did in the past and end up losing even more people. But when she finds her friend, Ishani's, journal -- with the words 'To Aurora' written on the front -- everything changes. It appears that Ishani had left a series of steps for Aurora to follow...steps to help her overcome the grief and live her life to the fullest. "Even if we don't ever tell them our story, the stars will whisper about us for centuries. They'll whisper it so quietly that even Icarus wouldn't hear it, if he ever decided to meet the sun's brothers and sisters." this story is dedicated to anyone who's ever felt responsible for the life of another. for the happiness of a friend. it's dedicated to those who would sell their souls to help a friend, or even a stranger, out of depression. the people pleasers. those who push away their emotions for the sake of someone else. i'll let the book speak for itself. enjoy :) TW: strong themes of suicide and death.

My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers? He must have noticed my gaze because his lips quirked up into a proud smile and suddenly the patch of white grew into an entire wing. No, not just one, two wings...and they were attached to his back. -Rankings- #1 in Creature 3/03/2021 ❤️ #1 in Beast 1/27/2023 ❤️ #1 in Subject 8/27/2022 ❤️ #1 in Dystopia 3/25/2020 ❤️ #1 in Laboratory 4/27/2021 ❤️ #1 in Science-Fantasy 4/21/2023 ❤️ #2 Young Adult 4/18/2023 #2 Strong-Female-Character 12/20/2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [NEW COVER 4/3/2021] [COMPLETED 4/9/2022] *WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE STORY*
