Shadows of the Past (Supernatural Fanfiction Book 6) by GothicDeathMetalGirl

In Shadows of the Past, Sam and Bobby wrestle with the devastating revelations Dean shared about his years of silent suffering. The once indestructible Dean has been reduced to a man haunted by his mother's final words and the weight of his lifelong burdens. As Dean's inner battles intensify, Sam is torn between guilt and the overwhelming need to be the brother Dean can lean on. Bobby, too, is shaken to his core, recalling the day he talked Dean off the ledge, now understanding the depth of Dean's unresolved pain. With Dean no longer fighting to regain his mobility, it becomes clear to Bobby and Sam that Dean is on the brink of giving up, his will to survive tethered only by those he loves. But the words from their mother continue to haunt Dean, and the family must figure out whether this haunting is an omen or simply the last echoes of a lifetime of protecting others. Sam and Bobby must navigate a path of healing, both for Dean and themselves, but the shadows of the past loom larger than ever. Will they be able to save Dean from the ghosts that threaten to pull him under, or will they lose him to the darkness that's always been lurking just beneath the surface? Told from alternating perspectives, Shadows of the Past explores the emotional and psychological toll of family, loss, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we love-even from ourselves.

FINDING June by xMah_Bx

{Completed} When we got hurt as children, we went running to our parents, they would scold us and treat the wound until it was cured. As we became older, we realized that the wounds we showed our parents were the ones that healed quickly because some wounds never completely heal. Rather they remain as unpleasant scars that serve as constant reminder of the trauma we endured, the strength that we possess and the love we have left to give. -------------------------- #1 in saving #4 in assault Word count: 35000+ Cover credits to me🤍 Started: March 13th, 23 Published: May 9th, 23 xx

BROKEN COURAGE (Broken Redemption Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.

Can your heart give its all to what's foreign and unknown? What if your first love returns? As you're split into two new entities that rage war within your heart? Never fear; though as through the thickest of clouds that ache with anger, hurt, and doubt from the raging storm, there will be sunshine once again. Will it be before the dam bursts, and your soul mends those scattered pieces of your heart?

Way Down I'll Go by raquellensanchez

Jo's brothers are his world. He's spent his entire life sacrificing everything to give them the life he's never had. Having battled through a horrific childhood, his every breath is for the benefit of his brothers, who gave him a reason to live through those years. It is an act of selflessness that throws him in the path of a woman who actually sees him, not just his scars. Rachel not only recognizes his worth, but is willing to step into his life and share his experiences, no matter how difficult. Despite their mutual attraction, the past and present seem determined to keep them apart. Jo faces another battle: this time against prejudice, past threats, and most powerful of all, the demons inside his head.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
