(I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE ORIGINAL PLEASE GIVE THIS ANOTHER READ AND VOTES IF YOU ENJOYED IT!!!)

I see two lovers staring over the edge of the cauldron of hell. Do they both wish for death? That means their love will end in hell. I couldn't stop laughing. 

What happens when you die but keep living? What happens when the heart keeps beating but the soul has moved on and so has everyone else? That's the kind of thing a ghost might say, and Aristos knows that feeling all too well. That is, until Aristos meets another ghost who helps him follow his silver cord. 

A quick few things I want to say before reading the story. This is my first time since elementary school writing anything even remotely fantasy/supernatural. This story has been in the works since probably about 2014, though it's been heavily rewritten over and over again (it started as a danisnotonfire fic LMAO DON'T @ ME). This version has been worked on since about late 2017. I drew a lot of inspiration from real-world mythology and folk tales, as well as pop culture references (so let me know if you notice any references it'll be fun!). It took a lot of time and research to write this and I put a lot of effort into it so please let me know how I'm doing and what you think of it!

The Ordinary Dead by Chlopandactyl

I finished this story in nanowrimo, 2015, and I haven't looked back since. Sorry to the one person (maybe?) who may have been holding up hope for a sequel or an edit No, you aren't getting one. ----- "Of course I don't. I'm just stating the obvious." He stood up from the stool and flicked his eyes over his shoulder, to look at Ciara. "I could, a) Break through the window," He pointed behind him, towards the massive window behind the bar. "b) I could run away," He paused again for a moment, weighing up the options. "Or finally, c) I could help the pretty girl in the story get away from the thug." Brendan scoffed mockingly once again. "And which option would you choose, ballet boy?" "Well," he turned his head to wink at Ciara. "Who can't resist saving a damsel in distress?" ----- Kyran is a Demon. Born and bred in the depths of Edom, a dimension of hell, his father granted him a job - to kill the Ordinary Dead. It just so happens that his first assignment is Ciara Hunter, a beautiful girl Kyran could not dare to assassinate. What happens when a reaper finds they cannot summon the ability to kill? ----- I feel like writing this terrible novel was the low point in my life. Read if you must. It's only still up here because of the amount of reads I have.

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_

Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)

Hi readers! This is a short story which was inspired by my own experiences. It's been two years since I left my love and up until now, I'm still struggling to get over him. I had to let go of his hand not because I wanted to but because I had to make a sacrifice for someone else's sake and happiness. He was my greatest 'what if' and I was his greatest regret. Although most of the scenes happened in real life, the rest are pure imagination especially the intense and happy part. We may have just been a "once upon a time" in real life but in this story, I made what should've been our 'happily ever after'. No one knows that I still think about him so I made this story as my sort of therapy. I hope you like it or at least appreciate it. Please feel free to leave your comments as well! Enjoy reading! P. S. Credits to the owner of the photo I used on each chapter 😊

Together At Last (HIATUS) by Almond_the_weirdo

This is a story I've written mostly for myself on Google Docs, but I have decided to publish it. It's unfinished so far, and is a 4X-centric XFHOV Au (yes yes a 2nd one and only 6 chapters into my other Au) anyway yeah TW: possible blood/gore, mentions of demons and soul summoning, death, 4x, 4 and 2 being siblings, just a drop of lime (aka kisses and getting pinned down but that's IT I SWEAR), Six X Nine bc yes, and POSSIBLE One X Two, Nine mostly using female pronouns (i can't write frying pan genders they are so hard okay??), more death bc it's also a demon-centric au (what do u expect some people gotta die), and POSSIBLE gore but idk yet Desc: X has been living their life, carrying the heavy guilt of their closest friend's death on their back for years. But when they finally find a way to bring Four back, he's not exactly the same...

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) by Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

You Can't Love Me by _sickBANANa

****** PSA: This was my first attempt at writing a story ever, THERE IS A PLETHORA OF ERRORS that I am currently working on 😂 I didn't expect it to get where it is honestly, but I at least owe you a better version of it. Good story, but what's a few longer chapters gonna do, amirite ? Okay, ENJOY this lovely premature story lol for now. ********* All rights reserved. ©GiveMeAPotato Despite the bandages that envelope his body, I turn my glare on him. "Are you insane?! Why would you do something so stupid?! You should've let the police handle it! You could have DIED, you moron!" He stares back at me with the ghost of a smile pulling at his blood dried lips. "I wasn't going to die, dove." He whispers. "Oh yeah? How do you know that?" I grit my teeth in an attempt to control my anger. He wrapped his good hand around mine and gently pulled me into a hug, careful not to hurt his bruised up body. "A little dove told me, you needed me." He whispered and kissed my head. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes and say, "I do need you," I pause and take a deep breath pulling away from him. "But if you EVER, do anything like that again, I will kill you myself!" He laughed so hard, I had to remind him of his stitches. He's and idiot. But he's MY idiot.

A Deadly Love- Book Two by chloblla

There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in Bloodlust
