Maya was the consummate procrastinator.

'Save it til the last minute!' was her motto in life, just as it had been in all the previous. The last minute of the day was her specialty after all, being the temporal guardian of the Twenty-third hour of the clock.  And Maya had used it to full advantage in this modern age of time crunches and deadlines living in the Here and Now of humans. 

Little did she know the greatest deadline of all would soon befall her. 

If only she could remember what, or who, she needed to save before it was too late.

Second Sight, de whatafreak13

*UNDER SERIOUS EDITING* What if I told you all things that go bump in the night were real? All the monsters from scary stories. You wouldn't believe me right? That's insane, or so Brinley had once thought. Brinley Zora, your normal everyday 24 year old video game streamer. She was normal, in every possible sense of the word, or at least she used to be before strange dreams and occurrences started happening to her on a regular basis. Secrets, death, twists and turns, impending doom. All of it to be discovered after shes told her families history. Friendships bonded over generations. Bonded by unseen other worldly forces. Can Brinley and her friends save a world dictated by a single family for almost 27 years? *I own all ideas, plots, and characters. This story is my baby. You wouldn't steal someone's baby right? (I dont own face claims or music used or referenced obviously)* Cover by the ever fabulous @LiziMichelle who is also the face claim for Brinley. Let me be straight up and say, this is extremely unedited. I wrote this in the notepad on my phone a couple years ago when I was in an entirely different place in my life. It's not the best, there are a few holes, but I had fun writing it and I love my characters, so do with this information what you will. If you hate it, don't read it.

Luna's Journey, de Iridescent-Glimmer

If you've stuck it out with me and you're still here, then you deserve a medal, because even I can't keep up with the mess that is my life. My life is in chaos right now. My mother is in the hospital in a coma, Lilith is after the amulet, and I've been given an ultimatum I have no idea what to decide on: save my mother by handing Lilith the amulet, or risk the destruction of the world because if Lilith gets her hands on the amulet, then the world will descend in chaos. I have no idea what to do, I have no idea how I can save my family and everyone else. Time is running out, and I feel like the whole world has turned against me. Ghosts, shapeshifters, werewolves, magic, psychos, it's all here, and it's what my life is consumed with. If you want to join me, don't say I didn't warn you, 'cause you're in for a crazy ride.

Ms. Maldini, de InkOfEther

Professor x Student | wlw | Age Gap | Genius Girl x Academic Enigma Maya is a brilliant mind with a past her memory chose to bury. She's eighteen, but she's not starting college-she's wrapping up her Master of Science in Quantum Physics. She enrolled at fourteen, a prodigy who moved through equations, theories, and sterile labs where everything made sense except, maybe, herself. Her focus is fixed on the path ahead-a PhD, more research, more certainty. But that fragile balance begins to shift after one unexpected encounter. During a routine session with her therapist, she meets a woman who, without warning, walks back into her life as a professor in a class Maya was never supposed to attend. Coincidence, consequence, or something else entirely? Quantum physics doesn't offer answers for the way a soul trembles. This is a story of blurred boundaries and buried memories, of forbidden tension and the quiet gravity between two women on opposite sides of a classroom. A slow burn. An ethical tightrope. An impossible pull that feels just as chaotic, just as precise, as the laws that govern the universe itself.

When Maya decided to take a yoga class to get out of attempting an actual sport, she had no idea that she was about to unlock memories of a past life, or that she'd accidentally travel to that past and find her current self in the middle of unexpected danger involving Gods, Goddesses, and an evil entity who killed someone she cared about. Can Maya change the past and save the day? More importantly, what will happen if she tries? AWARDS: Third Place Winner: The Bloom & Ink Awards (New/Young Adult)

Ms. Calloway, de hotformilfs

teacher x student | wlw | age gap Jennifer Campbell has always done what's expected of her. She's the perfect daughter, the smiling friend, the bright, outgoing senior. But under the surface, she's barely holding it together. Between the pressure to be everything her parents want and the weight of expectations she can't live up to, she's starting to crack. Failing calculus is just the beginning. Catching feelings for her new calculus teacher--a woman--was never part of the plan. Leona Calloway is 45, quiet by nature, and more at home with numbers than with people. She spent years working as an architect, building other people's dreams, before deciding she needed something different--something slower, quieter, but still close to what she loves. When a teaching position opened up in Midtown, she took a chance. Now, she spends her days in the classroom, her evenings in her little cottage with her pets and true crime shows, and for the first time in years, she feels like she's exactly where she's meant to be. But when Jennifer walks into her life--bright, messy, and entirely off-limits--everything Leona thought she wanted begins to shift. What starts as tension grows into something neither of them expected. Jennifer is fighting to understand herself, and Leona is doing everything she can to hold the line. But the more they try to pull away, the closer they seem to get. Highest rankings #1 in femxfem

One by one, they're disappearing... and only one will survive. Amara thought she was brave. She thought she could handle anything. But the Devil doesn't just want obedience - it wants fear. It wants control. And it will play until the last heartbeat. Will she survive the night... or become just another name on the list?
