"Why do they call it Shadowood?" I ask as we walk deeper into the forest. Old, dried up leaves crunch beneath my feet as I move a branch to the side, and drops of water from the trees above fall on my clothes from the recent rain.
"Because they say that where ever you go, even in the clearings, a shadow is always following closely behind."

Dark Angel
Faster. Farther. You had to escape. Heavy footfalls colliding with the pavement created a steady rhythm, the sound contrasting with your ragged breathing. Tears blurred your vision, partially from the exertion, partially from the fear that pumped through your veins like liquid fire. - A Harry styles fanfictionComplete
Wandless - A Harry Potter Fanfic
Amid the stench of London's polluted skies, among monsters cloaked in human flesh, a young boy witnessed something miraculous-a light that pierced the darkness and led him into a world never meant for the likes of him. A trespasser, perhaps. Yet even as his body crumbles to ash, he will keep chasing that light. FAIR WARNING: second book is in heavily need of a rework. Read while keeping that in mind as the content may change. ANOTHER WARNING: I'm incredibly slow at writing. Expect at least a month in between chapters. AUTHORS NOTE about AI: I've had some questions about the use of AI in my writing. I thought it best to get it out and in the open so as to not give any of you the impression that I'm being fake or disingenuous in my work. I use AI as a tool to help edit and format my work, the process being: 1. I write the chapter 2. I try to edit as much of it by hand as possible 3. If there's a part that I want to expand upon, or am dissatisfied with how I worded it, I throw what I'd written in the AI program to give me ideas on how to more accurately express the idea I want to use, or give me a better structure so that the story flows better. 4. Sometimes, I copy and paste the idea 'before' I reword it into my own writing. 5. Once I have everything sorted, I again try and comb through the chapter to fix up as much as I can to make sure that it's still 'me' writing, and not the AI. So to summarise, I do use AI to help edit when I need it, but the vast majority of my work is done by me. I'm sorry and understand if this disappoints some readers. Thank you again for reading.
Deceptive {H.S}
"Why do you care?" he asks. But it's not soft. It's sharp, defensive, like he's already bracing for the answer. I want to tell him the truth. Because you saved me. Because you're the only one who makes me feel real. Because if you fall apart, I don't know what happens to the rest of us. Instead, I just say, "Maybe I want to understand." He scoffs, no humor in it. "You don't. Trust me." Silence stretches between us. Then he steps forward, close enough that I can see the way his hands won't stop shaking. "You already know too much," he says, voice low. "More than you ever should've." I don't look away. "Then tell me the rest." He shakes his head. "It's not your place. You don't get to ask." "But I am asking." He exhales sharply. "Jesus, Lily. This isn't a story with a clean ending. I'm not a mystery. I'm a goddamn warning sign. I'm dangerous." I flinch, but I don't move. And that pisses him off more. He takes a step back like he's going to leave, then pauses. His eyes flick to my jacket. In one quick motion, he reaches in and pulls out the burner phone. "I think this belongs to me," he says, tone sharp but quiet. No accusation. Just fact. I don't respond. Just watch as he slips it into his pocket, like closing a door I wasn't supposed to open. He looks at me for one long second, jaw clenched. "Go home," he says again, this time like a warning. And this time, I believe him. He crushes the cigarette under his boot, turns his back, and walks down the alley, leaving me standing in the dark. - Lily didn't ask to be assigned to him. Harry Styles is a name whispered like a warning, famous for his ink, infamous for everything else. Brooding. Untouchable. But Lily has a habit of looking too closely. And when she finds something she shouldn't, the line between curiosity and consequence begins to blur. He told her to stay away. She should've listened. - TW: emotional abuse, manipulation, drugs, sex, violence, trauma.Complete![Introspective Strangers [h.s.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/230436328-256-k677436.jpg)
Introspective Strangers [h.s.]
*Story Contains Mature and Explicit Content* [Completed - 01/21/21] Preview: "Tell me something, Killer." Harry murmured. "Tell me what goes on inside your head." "You don't want to see what goes on in my head," I said with a short laugh. "I do." "My thoughts would suffocate you." "Try me." I took a deep breath. "Okay, well right now I'm thinking about what would happen if I just stood up and jumped off the roof." Harry shifted beside me. "My heart would stop beating the second you were in the air." I glanced over at him. "At least give me the option to jump with you," Harry said with a chuckle. "I'm sure I could find a way to save us before we reached the bottom."Complete
Roots - h.s
Roots from the trees go deep within the soil of the earth. Roots within us grow deep within our soul, linking us to our family, our hopes, our dreams.. Our roots lead us to our start.. they lead us to our heart. Sterling King is a girl with deep roots, and long branches that lead to nothing. Harry Styles is a boy with bright leaves, and ever growing colors. EXCERPT: "Hi." "Um... hi." "What's your name?" "Sterling...." "Well... Aren't you going to ask me what mine is?" "No...Why would I do that?" "Because I'm a stranger peaking over the fence... I thought you'd be curious." "Well I'm a stranger sitting in a tree house... I stopped being curious a long time ago. Curiosity brings nothing but trouble." "Well I'm Harry... and I'm curious about you Sterling..." "Well... stop." -------------------------- DO NOT PRINT MY WORK!!! "Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you." - Isabel Allende • TW: mentions of death, and rape/sexual assault. PTSD.Complete

Psychopath. [Completed]
[Completed] "That was the first night I had the dream. I was standing in a wilderness. Everything was black. Yet, there was a light ahead. It was dim but it looked promising. I hesitated whether actually walking towards the light, after all it could be a trap. That's when Harry appeared with a hand out towards me. "You want to know my secret?" his eyes were loving, something I hadn't seen before. "Follow me and you'll find out." I took his hand and we headed toward the light. But that's where it ended. It had me thinking though, was there a light at the end of all of this darkness?" - honestly, i wrote this when i was like a freshman in high school so it's really cringey 😬 no judgement, please.Complete
