*NEW UPDATES ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE*
In a dystopian future set far across the land of Arixona, lie the sixteen Precincts, The Commune and the Labyrinth. Every year, one Martyr from each Precinct is chosen to compete in The Parables - a competition like no other. Set in the scene of a Grimm's fairy tale, each Martyr must try to conquer the challenges that lie ahead of them. The challenges that lie in the Labyrinth.
In the Labyrinth, there is only a path to guide you to the finish and only one can become the victor. Either win or get trapped. Get trapped, and you lie vulnerable to the creatures of the Labyrinth, lurking in the shadows ready to pounce upon their prey.
The 99th Parables. Eight boys. Eight girls.
The tale of Hansel and Gretel is about to be retold with an epic twist.
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner.

The Enemy
a girl was born into a dystopian world where two societies were separated. those who are immune were placed into mazes whilst those who are gifted with knowledge were known as "the enemies" and placed in labs across the nation. unluckily for her she was placed with the enemies, known as WCKD. her abnormal intelligence made her stand out from the crowd, especially with no family members. she had no intention whatsoever on the change of the course of her life. she felt betrayed by the people she thought who would protect her and care for her. not everyone is who they seem, right? - (written in no caps, sorry for any editing mistakes - unedited as well) - gally groaned, folding his arms like a child. "a girl playing?" i pull a disgusted look to him. "what's that supposed to mean?" - "he's forbidden to do any building work for 2 days." he sighed, exhausted. i crossed my arms in disappointment. "are you twisting my fucking neck in?" "what kind of punishment is that? compared to that, mine was like getting a pole shoved up my asshole!" -Complete
Game of Ash and Bone
In a dystopian future the unlucky are brought back from the dead to compete in the deadly labyrinth for a chance at redemption. The Game of Ash and Bone rarely has a good outcome, with most contestants falling to fellow players, or the monsters that roam the labyrinth, a live streamed spectacle for the New Order's elite. Cosmo Nyx comes back to life with no memory of who killed him, but that shouldn't matter considering he's about to fight to the death in a game that he suspects has long since been rigged. Can he trust his fellow contestants long enough to get out alive? And will his own dark past somehow interfere with his chaotic present? Trigger/Content warning: some upsetting sequences including peril. Some strong language. Some adult themes. Mention of sexual relationships. Somewhat gory blood violence. Mild crude humor.Complete
Based on a True Story: Haven or Hella Crew?
What would you do if tomorrow morning, everybody in the entire world vanished? If you're anything like my brother and I you'd probably jump for joy. We certainly did, all you can eat pizza for the very reasonable price Β£0. In the first moment it is heaven, but then you realise the true cost. Your friends; gone! Your family; gone! And all that is left is the pain. Rocky and Chase explore their empty world determined to make it back home as they search for their lost mother and 12 year old sister Kayleigh. With an empty world this might seem a hopeless task but try telling that to two orphan brothers. When you wait that long for a mum you don't let little things like 'disappearing' stop you from getting her back. Unfortunately for the maladjusted boys some of the people who disappeared have come back, and they have, let's say 'changed.' That's ok though, these boys have never shied away from a fight in their life! But when the last girl on earth actually might actually be your soul mate it's a new kind of pain for Rocky to watch her fall for his brother. His fists have gotten him through life up to now, so it's hard to accept that the key to finding his Mum and solving this mystery might mean facing his feelings. It's one thing to fight the actual monsters around you but beating the ones on the inside is the true battle. A battle both Rocky and Chase must conquer if they are ever to see their Mum or sister again, a battle they must win if they are ever truly to have a family. Sometimes saving other people starts with saving yourself, will Rocky's journey be similar to your own? Let's find out...Complete

Left Behind//The Maze Runner
She was from Group B. They called her an "original," one of the first thrown into the Maze and left to survive. Escape was never part of the plan. Not for her. Not after everything she'd seen. But somehow, they made it out. Now, she's been relocated to a so-called Safe Haven-a sterile facility that is said to be their reward for surviving. But nothing about it felt like a reward. Aris, the only other survivor from her group, doesn't trust a word they say, and after a new group of boys bursts in with warnings of lies, manipulation, and something far worse lurking beneath the surface, neither does she. One of the boys stands out amongst the chaos. There's something in the way he looks at her. It's like he's seen the same horrors, like he understands her in a way no one else has. And no matter how much danger they're in, she can't seem to stay away. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: escaping the Maze was just the beginning. β’ β’ β’ {Published 3-10-18} {Completed 9-19-18} {Started Editing 11-13-22} {Finished Editing 07-07-25}Complete
Echo II
They thought they'd escaped. They were wrong. The desert stretches endlessly before them, scorching by day, freezing by night, and full of dangers they can't see coming. Isla is barely holding on, her body fighting against whatever WICKED pumped into her veins. Minho refuses to leave her side, even as the others struggle to keep moving. Food is running low. Water is almost gone. And the mountains that promise salvation still feel impossibly far away. But WICKED isn't done with them yet. Hunted by Cranks, haunted by nightmares, and desperate to survive, the group has no choice but to keep pushing forward-because stopping means death. Or worse. And in the end, escape might not be an option at all.Complete
