"Ok, roughly, the definition of existentialism is the philosophical theory which emphasizes the existence of individuals as free and responsible people, who determine their own development through acts of will, correct?"
"Uh, yes t-that's correct"
"And an existentialist would be a person who believes in such theory, correct?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"So the question wouldn't be "How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb"," I begin, "It would be whether they make the choice to change it at all. Would they change the bulb and live in the light, or simply allow the darkness to exist?"

"What does this have to do with my powers?" I asked. Sarah's face clouded. "A fey born with light powers is said to have a form of telekinesis that controls everything alive. From entire planets to the mitochondria of a cell." Sarah said calmly. "They could control animals, the weather, the plants, people, even.. even the glaze." "Their basically gods." "And Feys born with dark power?" I asked, but part of me already new the answer. "Everything that's dead" Sarah murmured. "They could control armies of the undead, suck the life out of anything and everything. They can make people like them, change their chi into dark power. They could live forever with the energy they steal." "How often does something like this happen?" "It used to be a lot more common. We referred to them as chi suckers, or energy stealers."

Book One: Pandora
Peace. Peace is subjective. If one were to truly think about it, peace is not possible without the suppression of something. While this sounds bad on the surface, there is a reasonable justification for such a thought. The world rightfully chose to suppress the wrongful urges within us because we knew that it would bring us peace. The past is simply a reminder of the repressed darkness within, and, with such erased from our minds, we have no presumptions made towards one another; we are in peace. When those come against our peaceful ways, they too must be suppressed. But who decides what is darkness and what is not? Who decides what should be suppressed?Complete

Chasing Zero
What lengths would you go to in order to achieve your dreams? Spencer has always seen the world through numbers. While they watch those in negative numbers strive for positives and those in the positives risk everything to stay in the positives, they long for the simplest of numbers: Zero. At Zero, they will experience true tranquility and feel at peace with themself. To help reach as close to Zero as possible, Spencer writes books, novelettes, poetry and more. By sharing their experiences as an agender person living with a mother who doesn't understand them (nor try to), they hope to inspire others and assure them they are not alone. When Spencer is given the opportunity to work with a publisher and publish their own book, they are determined to write a romance book proposal that no one will want to turn down. The only problem: none of their ideas are authentic enough. Since Spencer never felt the need to date before, their writing teacher encourages them to pursue romance to help inspire their book. While Spencer is determined to not date anyone, they are willing to give it a try for the sake of their writing. And when they find out their cute classmate seems to be interested in them, they decide to see where their blossoming relationship will go. After all, they're willing to do anything to reach Zero.Complete
Finding You in the Dark
I was a victim of a serial killer-the only one who made it out alive. I was kidnapped when I was 19. Kept in a small, suffocating room with no light, no sense of time, no hope. My only companions were the screeching of rats and the silence that gnawed at my sanity slowly. I tried to escape-of course I did. But the room offered nothing. No tools, no weak points. Nothing. My captor knew this. He made sure of it. So I stopped hoping for freedom. I knew how this story would end. And when I dreamed, it was of light and voices-a cruel trick of my mind. Until one day, the dream felt different.Complete

Counteracting Chaos
"The constant increase of entropy in the universe shows that time will always keep moving forward. However, by making different choices, we can navigate our way back to a better place. We can't turn around and walk back across the line, but we can make different choices as we move forward and eventually circle back to the other side." A moment of singularity, and Spencer Reid's life spirals into chaos. ***I work in the field of psychology and study the human mind for a living. Somebody said that finding a realistic way to write these two characters together was impossible. So, utilizing the DSM-5-TR and my unfettered access to all the most recent research in the field, I say, "Watch me."Complete
All the bad butterflies
"You wouldn't love me if the lights were on, Reid". There are tears in my eyes and a heart in my hands, the only reminder that I'm still alive. Jane Austen was not right. I am filled with nothing but agony. But how come it turns into hope every second I breathe the same air as him? "Go ahead, light this room on fire and watch what my last words are, Kara". And in that second, another one of the million ones I've spent with him by my side, in that second, I realized that the heart I held in my hands was his. It was his from the very beginning. I will make sure he lives, he's too selfless to die.
