Vantahaven: The Five
Power isn't given. It's taken. For centuries, Blackwell Academy has been more than just a school-it is a proving ground for the most elite magical bloodlines, where power is currency and weakness is a death sentence. At its center stands an unbreakable brotherhood: The Five of Vantahaven. Chosen heirs of the most formidable bloodlines, bound by an ancient Covenant that grants them extraordinary abilities-at a price. But when one of them is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the fragile balance of their world begins to unravel. Dark whispers of betrayal seep through the academy's shadowed corridors, and the remaining four must navigate a web of deception, hidden rituals, and a history written in blood. As they search for the truth, they uncover something far more terrifying than a murderer in their midst-the Covenant is cracking. The magic that has sustained their power for generations is no longer stable, and breaking it may unleash something far worse than death. Loyalties will be tested. Secrets will come to light. And in Blackwell Academy, the truth is far deadlier than the lies that protect it. Because the Five were never meant to remain five. They were always meant to fall.
Damnation Of Devotion ✔
"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow. He is saved by a curious, lonely spirit and builds an affinity with her; but will he be her only salvation or eternal damnation? Either way, she can't let him go. And neither can he... as they're more similar than they thought. With unexpected gifts and losses coming their way, the starry-eyed lovers go on a journey for a sense of peace through a strange reality, a stark contrast to her own. The human world. Not an easy feat. Especially where ghosts and dreadful creatures are concerned. ☾✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧☽ Cover art by DuskBeetle This story isn't drama-filled and hasty despite the dramatics and the hassles. ▪︎ Ludus/Eros/Pragma & Philia ▪︎ Grumpy x Sunshine ▪︎ Interracial Couple ▪︎ 93k-98k words ▪︎ WARNING: Death, war, and miscarriage themes, harsh language, mild violence, implied trafficking Copyright © 2021 by L.I.

Mythian Academy: The Timeglass
Myths. Gods. Humans. These races are widely known for being the pieces that make up Mythology; however, one race has been lost to the recesses of time. Mythians. The forgotten race of peacemakers born to protect the world from war and chaos. Well that's what they told me in class anyway, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Life before Mr. Gale's Mythian Academy was simple: I only ever worried about what I was going to eat for dinner, what book I was going to read next, or whether my siblings would be able to make it through high school after me, but now life's gotten a lot more complicated because before hurling me down a hole, Alice would be jealous of, my headmaster gave me this letter explaining the unbelieveable truth. ⁓⁓⁓ To my dear First Years, The artifact stolen from the Academy is essential for the continuation of our existence. As you continue in your studies at the Academy, if you are successful, you will come to understand what all of this means, but for now, you three are our best chance to retrieve it. I plead with you: do not lose your sense of self and try hard to work together to achieve your final goal. I suggest working together no matter how different your personalities may be. Teamwork will be your salvation. Your Teacher, Mr. Gale P.S. If you're ever lost just check the map. It will guide you throughout your journey. Oh and you must know, every myth that has ever had you in awe, every being that has ever frightened you, and everything you dream of truly exists. Goodluck.Complete
Zeus de Academy
There are five kingdoms on the planet called "Earth." At a young age, the people living there would manifest and have their own elemental power. It is either fire, water, earth, ice, wind, or lightning. Earth is not a quiet planet to begin with. There are hundreds, or even more than a thousand, of people dying every day due to the fact that there are wars everywhere. The five kingdoms have been fighting and killing each other for centuries, and no one knows the exact reason; it still remains a mystery. Despite the wars happening, there is a prodigious academy in the middle of the planet. None of the kingdoms own this place. No matter which kingdom you are from, you can enter this academy as long as you are strong and powerful enough to pass its entrance exam. An exam that sheds blood. This magnificent academy was made to train intelligent and skilled students. This is not just an ordinary school. This is definitely not a fun place. Because this is "Zeus de Academy". - Kyla, a teenage girl, is one of those people who wants to enter this academy.

Catastrophically Carla (Lesbian Story)
Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.Complete
Dimensional
When you get accepted into the nation's top academy to better understand your quirk, you hope it will bring you the answers you've been looking for in life. As an adopted eighteen year old with no memory before your adoption, the questions of your past aren't at the top of the list of things you think you'll discover at college, but little did you know, that was the least of what you'd find. You're the child of a semi-retired and formerly top-ranked professional hero, and are already ahead of a lot of the students who made it into your class, but it becomes apparent that your skills will only give you an edge for a limited amount of time. When recurring and seemingly premonitive nightmares begin plaguing you during the night, you start developing a strange tingling sense for oncoming danger, and villains are starting their campaign against hero society, suddenly attending the academy is a lot more than you were prepared for. Answers are what you need, and you're slowly forced to realize that maybe learning about your past should be much higher on your priority list. Will you find the answers in time, or will your sanity come undone before you can save everyone that you care about?
