Flaming Youth is a 1923 book, controversial in its time, by Samuel Hopkins Adams. The novel was adapted into the silent movie Flaming Youth in 1923. In his retrospective essay "Echoes of the Jazz Age," writer F. Scott Fitzgerald argued that Adams' novel persuaded certain moralistic Americans that their young girls could be "seduced without being ruined" and thus altered the sexual mores of the nation.

meant to be yours | d.w
Rebecca's light bulb has been flickering on and off for precisely seventeen years. The constant rotation of cocktail parties and questioning every human in her path is annihilating. And if there is one person who she believes to be the cause of weakening her even when she left her previous life behind, it is Dallas Winston. He has every terrible trait bestowed in him. He never takes the burden of morality, he only dodges it until he is the embodiment of terror. It is too easy to despise him. For who truly doesn't? But little do they know that they are far more similar than they would like to think. And whether they would prefer to admit it or not (they most indefinitely do not, for they are stubborn as hell), he was meant to be hers, and she was meant to be his. Disclaimers: *there will be talk of sexual assault, acts of violence, racism, sexuality, classism, etc. So if you're not comfortable with any of those things don't read! I really want this book to be realistic to the time period and bring to light how people were treated but if I miss anything important please let me know!Complete
The Two Dogs
Leo, a young college student, in love with a classmate who doesn't know he exists. In an effort to capture her attention he begins to discover how little free will he has. That love and hate are not opposites but more like synonyms and the idea that they are opposite is just another illusion. Dark and depraved thoughts creep in out of his mind as the girl takes him on a rollercoaster ride. Leo wars with the emotions that are his slave master, but it leads him to wonder that maybe everyone's path is already cut. Some are meant to live the modern day, happy American life, others... are meant to destroy it. The only way to peace is to accept the path. The morality of it doesn't matter. It's all chaos and chaos doesn't recognize evil or good it only uses them as a means to keep everyone guessing.Complete
Fountain of Frogs
[originally posted to Archive of Our Own] https://archiveofourown.org/works/62345878 It is the middle of covid shutdown and former student activist Jaden McNeil finds himself living with his new friend and colleague, right wing Internet provocateur Nick Fuentes, after being expelled from Kansas State over online statements considered inflammatory. Overtaken with the isolation, the two begin a physical relationship. While Jaden is convinced it is just a temporary dalliance to fill the void and means nothing, as the next two years roll on, he finds that Nick became a bit more attached than he had hoped. Notes: -While the basic storyline is based on true events, this is largely a work of fiction. Do not use this as a source for information on the people mentioned. Many real events and people were removed for the sake of brevity. Of the real life incidents referenced, some were combined or had the order changed. Also, some things that the author suspects to just be rumors invented by the enemies of the people involved to tarnish their names are treated as true for the sake of character development. -There are statements made by the characters that can be considered racist, sexist, antisemitic, et cetera, in addition to statements surrounding covid and election denial. This is entirely to remain realistic to the characters; the author does not condone these statements. I censored all instances of slur use to avoid being taken down. -While most everyone in this is at least loosely based on a real person, the non-Internet-public figures have all had their names and identifying details omitted or changed for the sake of privacy. Please do not look those individuals up; I do not care who they are related to/befriended/dated/donated money to, they did not ask to be thrust in the spotlight.Complete

Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me ✓
"So this was all just a game to you . . .this whole time, you pretended to like me in order to humiliate me in front of the entire school?" An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.
