Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth.

**** 

Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. 

After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous.

She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. 

The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous.

The clock is ticking.

But never live in the past. The present is pleasant, like a gift full of surprises to you, and you better open it up before someone else snatches it away from you." °•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• He was her childhood crush. She liked him very much; in fact, she thought she was in love. But boy was she wrong! Even though he knew how much she fancied him all along, he only kept bullying her time and again.

But she has to come back home after almost five years; back to the place which contributed only bad memories for her. When she runs into him again after so many years, would she be able to suppress her long lost feelings and force them to remain dormant? Would she let him conquer her even though she remains so adamant to stay UNCONQUERED? •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•° "We both were crying. He was crying because he knew he was fucked up. I was crying because he was the one who fucked me up." *************** [Previously known as "I'm Over You"] WARNING: Contains usage of strong language and triggering content. Read at your own risk.

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Echoed Whispers of Love by thaliahbridget

Mazi thinks everything is fixable given the right tools and time, just not herself. She's irreversibly broken, incomplete, a lost cause. Living in the grey area of not quite dead but not really living, she's the perfect definition of a paradox. Gray is her contradiction. He sees life through more than the lens of black and white. Only living enough to make it through each day. Get up, fix cars, work a second job, sleep, rinse, repeat. Maybe what they need is a little spice in their lives; maybe what they need is a match lit under their asses. "I hate how I noticed the small details, like the slight dusting of freckles below his eyes and across his nose... His eyes. His eyes made me feel like they could see right through me. It was a combination of alarming and mesmerizing. There is no other way to describe him other than intense. My abysmal past with men should be enough to scare me off, to go to any cost to avoid him. It has done exceptionally well in spooking me off the footpath leading to disaster with men every single time, nearly. This time appears to be the exception. I hate that. He is the epitome of the fine line between hate and love. I take that back, I just love to hate him. The way he speaks to me only makes my anger flare. The way he looks at me makes my body temperature rise." Read more to follow their whirlwind romance, healing traumas, and the mending of hearts they didn't break. Update every week!

You are one of a kind. Well, at least that's what your father said. Not in a good way tho. Ever since you were born to Earth, all of the blames was reserved for you and you only. Being a half-gem human or a half-hybrid wasn't as easy and amazing as what people thought. It only led you to pain and tortures. Your father wasn't amused when he found out that you are the one who killed his dear lovely wife by giving up your mother's gem just to have you. Your mother knew she would be gone as she was having you, and yet she didn't stop to have you born. After years go by, your father had enough of you and finally decided to get rid of you. By drowning. Yet you still alive and was living and surviving alone. Until you met a certain curly-haired boy that was called by the name of Steven Quartz Universe. This is not my first time writing so I bet that I could make the chapter as long as 1000+ words. This book also took before the movie started. This book also contained bruises, blood, injuries, torture, gore and etc. If you didn't feel comfortable reading, I am so sorry and please read the one-shot book that I will be making. Without further ado, let's begin the story and please do enjoy! P.S: I am veryy terrible on making descriptions. I assure you that the book is better than the summary! -- Steven Universe x Reader #1 in stevenuniversefuture - 8/3/2020 #1 in stevenuniversereader - 8/3/2020 #1 in quartz - 7/6/2020 #1 in steven - 26/9/2020 Started: 3/2/2020 Finish: 23/10/2021 100K - 28/4/2021

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading. If you are under the age of 17, DO NOT READ. If you can not handle mature scenes DO NOT READ. You have been warned.
