Reflections of Each Other (Book 4) Now published so sample only by SandraCorton

My name is Matilda and I gave up the most important thing in my existence. I told him we should see other people. I hated it but I felt like I was holding him back. So I set my future life bond Xander free. Within a week he had dated other girls, by the end of a month he barely looked at me and by the time six months had rolled around he had moved away. I can no longer speak and I refuse to see anyone but my family. My twin brother Kale is beyond furious and I know my parents are worried. But the simple truth is he is gone and he took my very essence with him. I am nothing but a shell. I am nothing without Xander, he was my life.

A Game Of Pawns by StevenBoers

He's been skipping classes, hasn't been to work in days and isn't responding to his friend's urgent text messages. For someone who loves his mundane routine, like Xander, this behavior is significantly out of character. But when you're inducted into a death game against your will, attending your business class suddenly becomes low priority, especially when your professor and former classmates have turned into nothing but creepy shadows walking around. Kissing his much loved routine goodbye, Xander follows a guy who had just frozen an old man in time, then chopped him in two. Will he get chopped too? Or will he manage to survive long enough to exit this new reality where throwing fireballs, summoning swords out of thin air and making ordinary objects explode are commonplace? --Looking for Beta Readers, any opinions / critiques are welcome!--

Birthright by Yuki84_

Xander Gray never expected much from life. At seventeen, he was used to disappointment-an unforgiving home, a school that wanted nothing to do with him, and a future that seemed to be slipping through his fingers. But when a late-night encounter with a rogue mage reveals a shocking truth-he has magic of his own-his world is thrown into chaos. Thrust into an elite academy where power is second nature to everyone but him, Xander struggles to navigate a world he never knew existed. As he works to understand his newfound abilities, whispers of a sinister force lurking in the shadows grow louder. The world is far bigger-and far deadlier-than he ever imagined. And whether he's ready or not, Xander is about to become a part of it. Discord for updates and announcements: https://discord.gg/2z66ZGEEj9

The rise of Booster by Demun-C

This is a spinoff of my story 'Not So Evil' in which shows the life of Booster, and how he got to where he is today. This will be from his first person perspective, unlike Not So Evil this will not be a (Y/N) for simplicity's sake. His name is Jason Vogel, the story starting from the perspective of a fourteen year old Booster long before he ever got involved with the Guard. Having been stricken with poverty and abuse from a young age he will escape his family and will meet several new families. With only his one friend he has to find a way to survive and make it out of his messed up situation through any means. Whether the people he finds actually want the best for him or want to use a dumb teenager is something he'll have to find out the hard way. This story can be understood without reading the main story but it should be known before proceeding that this does use characters from Undertale so do not let that take you by surprise. This will include examples of: Vulgar language, Sex, Drugs, Guns, and Violence. Story not for anyone under eighteen.
