IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE that Evan Deroucy's father is an alcoholic.
It's common knowledge that Evan Deroucy's mother left when he was only six days old, on the same day her blustery temper smashed in each and every window of his father's house.
It's common knowledge that Evan Deroucy hates fire. Folks think it's something to do with his mother. Folks think it's something to do with his father's line of work as a volunteer firefighter.
After all, his father works magic with fire: He can wade through a field of it in plainclothes and come out unscathed. Evan can do the same, but he can't even look at a lighter without shame and fear curdling in his stomach. His father wants him to follow down the same path, but how can he save lives if he's not brave enough to let himself burn?
No matter how hard he tries, there's always the shame. There's always the fear.
And there's always more fire.

Going Full Throttle
~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires. It hypnotized me with its beauty and danger. It was so tantalizing to look at, but one little touch could destroy. I knew the heat between Tyler and I was similar. It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries. Her only responsibilities were to attend her college classes (sometimes) and keep herself fed (on ramen). When tragedy strikes, Pia is all of the sudden thrown into a whirlwind of change. She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice. But what happens when the ruggedly hot motocross athlete Tyler Westwood shows up in her small town? Tyler lives on the fast track, never caring too much about consequences. You can't when your job is to do backflips through the air. Sometimes, you just have to send it and hope for the best. From the second Tyler meets Pia, he knows he wants her. But she is determined to ignore their bubbling chemistry. She has priorities now and a summer fling isn't one of them. Will Pia be able to stay away from Tyler? Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************Lengkap
Where There is Desire
There is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned. Hello Reader. If you came here to read a story about magic or princes and princesses, you are reading the wrong story. This isn't a story about the power of friendship or good defeating evil. And it doesn't have a happily ever after. This is a story about a normal kid. There is a boy, his friends, his villain, and his other villain: himself. Josh planned to make that year the best ever. He'd just gotten better, had new friends, left his bullies behind. But he didn't expect Ronan. Trigger Warnings!!!!: Grooming, Sexual Assualt(?), Nightmares, Panic Attacks, non graphic descriptions of blood, non graphic descriptions of vomit, sexual harassment, therapy, non-consensual touching, implied self harm, implied suicidal thoughts (let me know if I missed something but I think I covered it all) Characters and story line are my own. Don't use them for other things. Haters, go away. If your going to defend the 'villain' get out. Those comments will be blocked. Title comes from Try by P!nkLengkap

The Song of Burning Souls (COMPLETE)
The song haunted Andrew's dreams. Then he found the singer: Lithe-a girl made of flame who lives in the vents of his apartment building. Slowly, she shows him the fire world, a brilliant place where there are no lonely winters. But these glimpses are as dangerous as they are tantalizing. Soon, Andrew can't stop craving the heat. But someone doesn't like Andrew's friendship with the fire girl. Someone who lives deep in the basement amid boxes belonging to other lost children. Someone who will stop at nothing to devour them both. What is this creature? Why has he trapped Lithe? Most importantly, can Andrew play with fire without getting burned? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This story was inspired by true events! A few years ago I moved into a very old house with large hot air vents on the walls and a cantankerous furnace. One evening, as I was drifting off to sleep, I glimpsed a light behind the grate in my room (the grate on the cover is an exact likeness of the one in my house!) The light grew brilliant and bright for a brief moment, then disappeared. I pried the grate off the wall and poked my head down there but saw no light. I was alone in the house and far too scared to go back to sleep so I got up and wrote the first draft of this story. To this day I have no idea where the light came from. Maybe it was the light of inspiration! Cover Art: Agnieszka Grochalska (agroshka.com) Cover Type: Erika Viktor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is my Friday story! I have a story for each day of the week and will update on that particular day! Please comment and let me know if you are afraid of fire, if it fascinates you. Also, have you ever wondered if anything is living in your house without you knowing about it? I am happy to read your stuff and return the favor!!Lengkap
Solivagant
Magic is to be feared. It is a wild, unpredictable thing, and anywhere it goes it brings mayhem and destruction. Those that wield it are even more dangerous. At least, that's what King Soren claimed when he hunted down and killed nearly every magic-user in Eldernia. The only ones he spared were sworn into Soren's service as elite agents that have one purpose, and one purpose only--find any remaining magic-users and give them a choice. Join the Valkir . . . or die. Asher, a sixteen-year-old boy, has managed to conceal his power for years. But when his secret is revealed, there will be no more hiding. || Winner of the 2020 Sinne Awards || || Third place in the 2020 Black and Gold Flames Awards - Fantasy || The fabulous cover is from @-designdistrict !

The Dark Fire(C)
"Dark Fire, the place where a group lives. A place that is under the symmetry of the earth, and this place, no man has ever known. Whoever he is, if he finds out about this place, he will be killed by our group. And it turns out, that's true. He know. She is the person I love. My only wish is to become human. So, I am willing to turn my body into a half human being in order to feel human. Even though the ritual hurt, it was like I lost half my life. But, I've been strong in heart. And it turns out, I did. I became human even for a limited time. From there, I met a man. The son of Adam I love. And by chance, he knows the secret to Dark Fire. Everything he knows. I tried to hide it so that he wouldn't be killed. Because this is my fault. And my biggest mistake is letting my heart love the son of Adam.Dark fire, a place where there is little light. Only one torch lamp from each distance of 10 meters. After that, just install a new torch. My area is indeed dark. We sleep during the day and work at night. Nocturnal, that's what they call it. We are not animals, not plants, or humans. But, we have the same heart and feelings as humans. Only, the world separates our class, and human class. " Dark Fire Princess Note.Lengkap
