Daughter of the Mara (The Mara Chronicles Book I)
Jayashree Atkinson knows she's insane: she's been told so every day for the past five years. She has to be. After all, most people don't have nightmares when they're awake. Locked away at thirteen for a crime she doesn't remember committing, Jay thought she would spend her entire life within the walls of a psychiatric hospital. She spends each day drifting between what is real and what is pretend until she is unable to distinguish one from the other. Jay believes she will never escape until one day a mysterious young man named Harvey breaks into the hospital to tell her that she is not crazy, that she is in fact a living embodiment of a nightmare: a mara. Freed from her captivity, Jay attempts to return to a normal life and understand who (or what) she really is. As Jay learns to control the nightmares within her she is soon faced with opponents outside her own mind including Harvey's brother Edmund, whose affection for Jay seems too good to be true, the mother who abandoned her as a child, and an entire court of mara who would see her executed for her merely existing. Torn between the world of humans and the realm of nightmares, Jay must work to control her power and achieve her destiny before forces darker than her own nightmares lock her away for good.Complete

When the three gods of the dream world accidentally caused a mass homicide, their father, Erebus, decided to punish them and send them to the mortal realm.

The King's Queen (Nightmare Sans x Reader)
PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING INTO THE STORY Description: Your name is (Y/n) and you are originally from an au called Dreamtale! Your life hadn't been the easiest however, but you were quick to always move forward despite this... Before Nightmare had become corrupted, you were his best friend and lover. You kept him from his breaking point, you maintained his sanity and most importantly... returned his love. One thing that is definitely important about yourself is that you are a selective mute... And your only desired partner for conversation is the King of Negativity himself... But what will happen once the true evil lurking within your lover drowns out whatever light he had left? What will happen when you discover that the Nightmare you knew was replaced by a monster that still somehow holds love for you? "And even with the evil finally in control of Nightmare, if both his sinister side and his old self agreed on something- then it would always be his priority... They both love her." This is practically my first story that I have ever decided to share online. It is quite a terrifying experience for me, so I hope that anyone who decides to read this will enjoy it. Anyway, I should probably inform my readers about a few things. First off, my primary language is not English, however, I will still be making an effort with my grammar! Second off, I will try and update this as frequently as possible... Even though I can get somewhat shy or concerned about how my work goes. Otherwise, all you will need to know is this: (Y/n): Your name (F/n): Friend name (E/c): Eye color (H/l): Hair Length (H/c): Hair color (S/c): Skin color (F/c): Favorite color Some things I will likely determine for the reader, but what is posted above will be the basics. Please also note that this story may contain some content that would be best for more mature audiences. Also, the cover image belongs to me, please do not use it without permission or steal it.Complete
The Story of 9: Alarra
Alarra's dreams are more than just dreams. They are memories-fragments of a past life lost to time, glimpses of a world unraveling at the seams. In the ancient city of Numinas, she is just a teacher, a caretaker, a protector of children. But when reality begins to shift around her she is thrust into a mystery far beyond herself. She is not alone. Others like her-eight more souls bound by destiny-are awakening to the truth: they were once divine. Before betrayal shattered the balance of the universe, before they were cast into the cycle of rebirth, they were the architects of existence itself. Now, the cycle threatens to repeat, and a hidden enemy is pulling the strings to keep them blind, to keep them apart. As Alarra's past bleeds into the present, she must decide: will she embrace the echoes of who she was, or will she lose herself to the illusion that binds them all? The world is shifting. The Nine are awakening. And the cycle is ready to begin again... unless they can break it.

Wrong Feelings - A dragon's journey
Atrix wakes up in the depths of a frozen cave, his body no longer his own. Scales, wings, claws-he's become a dragon, a creature of myth and legend. But his memories are gone. Who was he before this? Why is he a beast? And why does the void he escaped from haunt him like a shadow? As Atrix navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the Blizzardelle Mountains, he discovers that the cave is more than a prison-it's a gateway to ancient secrets, fulfilled prophecies that hint at a past life he can't remember. From monstrous snow-dune worms to sentient crystals whispering cryptic warnings, every step brings him closer to the truth... and closer to danger. Meanwhile, in the sunlit village of Amberhaven, Colleen, a sharp-witted healer with a knack for trouble, finds herself drawn to the mountains by a strange illness and the haunting whistle of the wind. She thinks the cure for the disease are hinted at in old legends. But Colleen isn't one to believe in legends either, and she has to decide which way to take it. As their paths collide, Atrix and Colleen must unravel the mysteries of the Blizzardelle Mountains and their dark history. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that some truths are better left buried. And some feelings- like the growing bond between a dragon and a half-human- are too dangerous to ignore.

His Summoner || Demon! Nightmare Sans x Reader
When a demon summoning goes wrong, a rich and powerful man's son gets killed and (Y/n) is forced to team up with the Demon King that did it to survive the ensuing attempts on her and her family's lives. But the King will only do it on one condition: he gets her soul. So with no choice but to die for her mistake, His Summoner promises him her soul when the job is done. | - Demon! Nightmare Sans x Female Reader - A little bit of a reverse harem with plenty of Bad Sanses x Reader moments (with a canon reason for it :D), but ultimately, (Y/n) is Nightmare's - Honestly you could read this with no prior knowledge of any of the characters and you'd be just fine - Kinda a slow burn? But don't worry, I throw in so many subtle/not-so-subtle intimate moments with all the Sanses that it makes it worth the wait :D - I'll throw in some bonus chapters with the other Sanses for extra (non-canon) fluff that doubles as a breather from the story, too - Is the relationship toxic? Maybe. I mean, this is canon Nightmare after all. But that's the beauty of a fictional story, no? - A lot of the symbolism and hidden meanings aren't obvious, so you might have to be on the lookout to see them (and keep in mind: Night doesn't openly show many emotions, so the devil is in the details) - I'm not going to spoil anything, but for all you anxious readers out there like me, I'll divulge I'm a sucker for happy endings *wink* - It's my interpretation of the characters (kept as canon as possible)Complete
