Do you ever get the feeling you were born for so much more than this?

On the 31st of December there was always a dawn, there was always Emmeline, and there were always tears. The day Emmeline turns twenty-one marks the return of the darkness that took her parents when she was ten. What begins with a rough night out ends with a home invasion and a visit to A&E, and now the police want to speak with her.

As her fractured world descends into even greater chaos, Emmeline decides to run. But instead of running away, she finds herself running straight into the arms of the coming storm. 

The Ferryman of the Dead has come to claim her soul, but when he unexpectedly changes the game and risks everything to save her life, she realises being kidnapped by Death may not be such a bad thing after all. 

As for the rest of the monsters out for her blood, well, that's another matter all together...

'Cause Nothing Lasts Forever ✔️ by ImSanyukta
50 parts Complete Mature
Blaire, is a simple highschooler. Smart, popular and the one with good grades but not the nerd. But like every other normal human being, life is complicated for her too. It wasn't but apparently it became when a sudden heart-wrenching event drastically changed her life. And once it started getting messy, the list never stopped and so it was. It became more complicated when Christian Woods, the bad boy stepped in. With Destiny playing its trump cards, they'll come across but what happens when you fall in love with that particular 'stay away from' boy? Shakespeare said, the course of true love is never easy and so it is.Maybe it's your same cliché highschool badboy love story but with a touch of salt. Amidst all these drama of highschool and all the outer negative forces putting on their act, will their love sustain? ▪️▪️▪️ ▪️ His lips came closer and mine parted slightly but he diverted and dug his head in the crook of my neck. My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. 🥉Black and Gold Flames Awards © SANYUKTA

The Boy with Bad Habits by blackcatbri
76 parts Complete Mature
Wrote this at 15, First novel, don't judge. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything to forget her. But no matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the one who taunted him on the playground. The blonde shattered his heart like glass on concrete. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never saw coming. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side. A brooding bad boy with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his cold, adrenaline-obsessed ex. Moving on? That's a joke. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. It's not about romance, but healing. Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or sets them free.
