ghost lgbt novella onc2021

Caleb's list of job responsibilities did not include saving his city from a drought. He was as far from the hero type as he could be, starting with muscles and ending with courage. When the ghost hunting club he had joined theorized their plight was due to the paranormal, he went along with it to appease them. No one could predict what he would find on the lakebed, or the path he would have to take to bring water back to the city.

Home Sweet Home (mxm) by TheoryKierei

It had its kinks; needed some appliances, had a leaky water faucet, and what not, but it was his! He soon comes to find out that there are a few extra bits and pieces he needs to work on in the home besides just the basics. There's a constant clinking sound at night that he can never manage to pinpoint... and a houseguest he wasn't anticipating.

Revenge of the Invisible Boy by AbysmallyAbstracted

Caleb Storm loves to write. Sometimes, maybe a little too much. When he gets started on a story, it's like the world around him melts away. It's his way of escaping the shitty reality he's been forced into. His parents and siblings are either ignoring him or yelling at him, there's no in between. He's constantly trying to help, but sometimes, it's as though he's invisible. So when he begins writing what could possibly the best story he's ever written, something snaps. And the lines between fiction and reality slowly begin to blur.

Dark!caleb fan fiction / MATURE / WARNINGS: blood, self harm, mild smut , etc. [ I've seen Caleb's post but as I've already gained a following with this book, I will continue to finish this book.] PSA: my pov for this book has shifted. I know you are reading this because it's Caleb but I am solely writing this for my enjoyment because writing is something I plan on pursuing. He is still a main character and is still "Caleb Finn" but don't send hate that I'm disrespecting him because I respect his opinion as this will probably be the only Caleb content I have.

Lenora's Grimoire by Falling-Rivers

(Former title: Book of Rosethorns) Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021

That is, until she meets a certain werewolf and vampire. As wars brew, secrets arise, and identities are discovered, will Davyna rise up and embrace her place in the supernatural world?
