Haven Pickering has started on a new path after her divorce. She wants to become a funeral director and embalmer.

She would never guess the situations she would find herself in or the friendships she would make along the way. She certainly never dreamed of the relationship she would find herself in the middle of.

Her new experiences with death, the horrifying sites, the beauty of helping others, friendships and love; the highs and the deep lows. 

Haven has a lot of important decisions to make. With her special sensitivities and a little help from the other side, hopefully she will make the right ones.

SPITFIRE (Book #2 Of Fire Series) by zeadzana

"Do your dreams generally revolve around fucking me on the bathroom counter," I ask, beginning to breathe heavier as he kisses down my neck and playfully pushes a tad forward with his hips. ******************* It's love but it's war. It's only been three years since her world flipped on its head. Where guns blazed, blood splattered and The Grim Reaper became a very close friend. If Siren and Reaper thought coming together was a challenge, they were utterly mistaken. The world around them, although not explicitly opposed to their love, challenges every ounce of dignity, humility, loyalty, courage and love they have within themselves as individuals. Their relationship hangs in the balance long before the real whirlwind of trouble comes sweeping in. With new friends and new enemies, old ones too, it is hard to keep on their feet and know who to trust. Especially in a business that thrives on double-crossing. Will love between the two be enough to soldier them through the war? Or do they need a miracle to save them? *********** SEQUEL TO SAPPHIRE (I don't advise reading as a standalone but I did include a quick recap of SAPPHIRE)** ********* Highest ranks: 53| Luxury 118| Medical 81| Heartache Genre: angst, smut, drama, action, romance, fluff WARNING: mentions of child abuse, sexual abuse, non-consent, rape, physical abuse, medical malpractice, drugs use, miscarriage, murder, torture, trafficking etc. This is an 18+ book with graphic sex and gore scenes.

Death Becomes Us by EzraWinn

Typical doesn't even begin to describe who I am. I Skylar Carright am for more complex than I appear to be. Can't tell? Good. I have no intention of letting you know. The less you know, the better it is for both you and me. The less you care to know, the more I care for your safety. You see the last sentence...that was a lie. No one is safe from me. Whether you are aware or not; you are already part of this game I'm playing. Why you ask? I need to have a way to express myself. And what better way is that than to plan a funeral. Don't worry you are all invited. No invitation needed. I look forward to see you here

Always light the candles by dddfakeddd

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.

Very Unexpected Relationship at the Wrong Time... by WhatSheLivesFor

When you live in small, typical town like Portland, Oregon, you don't expect much. Arielle Martinez had her best friends, an annoying sister, and a single mother. Life was just a sweet time. She got through middle school and was now living her third year of high school. Junior. The only thing for her agenda this year is smiles, laughs, more laughs, and more memories. Of course, the dark-haired troubled, bad boy, Shadowfax Skywood didn't pop in her delicate, easygoing mind. Why would it? Freshman through Sophomore they never acknowledged each other's presence. Not even fight for the last apple pie in the cafeteria. But things have changed when both are thrown more and more into each other's path, but this doesn't bother Arielle much because she has nothing to hide, but what about Shadow? He's not popular, but he isn't close to a loner or at all of being ignored. So what is it? What's his secret? No turning back now, they're both in deep, but will this destroy them or get them closer?

Faith by hailythewriter

Working for a rich family like the Thompson's, knowing that she was just like them once was hard for Amelia. The fact that she now had nothing left after losing her money, her friends, her boyfriend, her parents and her life caused Amelia to have no other choice but to accept her fate as a maid. She made the best of it, she made friends who always managed to put a smile on her face if only for a minute. It all changed for Amelia when a figure of her past slides it's way back into her life so suddenly that she didn't even know real from fake. It was too much for her and it was blamed all on faith. Faith she had to choose from. Ignore it, run and hide again or face it and fix the past. Suddenly the future wasn't so simple and predictable as Amelia thought it was, she couldn't even see into tomorrow. Would she run again or would she take the bull by it's horns and think of it as a second chance of happiness? She couldn't even see happiness in her future, how would she survive?

Her by cianafaven

Phoenix LeFlore: She is alive. Her brother is dead. People are moving forward. She is standing still. He was everything. Now she has nothing. Aza Ainsworth: She is a soft girl who acts tough. She is a warm girl who was treated coldly. Someone made her heart beat faster, then broke it. Can a broken heart help a broken soul? _____ Girl meets girl. Girl doesn't like girl. Then girl likes girl. Could she like her back? Two girls. One story. _____ "I like: The soft side underneath her tough side. Her mind. Her wit. Her cute awkwardness. The way she bites her nails. The way she dresses, like a 90s character, like someone in a movie. The way she smells, like mint, spicy but sweet, like her personality. Her green, serious, sexy eyes. Her laugh. Her name. Her hand in my hand. The stars on her face. The X on the back of her neck. I want to make her laugh all day, want to say her name, whisper it, scream it. Phoenix. I want to hold her hand, want to kiss all the stars on her face, and want to cherish the X on the back of her neck. I want to cherish her. I don't like: Phoenix."
