Luna Myers was a cancer patient, and had been since birth. She had constantly been taking chemo every week or month since she was old enough for the medicine. She basically lived in the hospital, but the cancer kept coming back, no matter how much the doctors kept helping to get rid of it. So she spent time on the internet, with people she met across the globe, including Ember Olive. But there was only so much that they could do before they had to give up and face the fact that she was dying. -- Ember Olive had been diagnosed with severe depression since he was fourteen, going to therapy and group meetings ever since his diagnosis. He only ever felt the tiniest bit happy when he was on the internet, with his internet friends. The only thing raising the meter higher was Luna Myers, the happy girl that kept his spirits up, and the thing that made him want to hide everything wrong with him from her. -- But this book isn't about them. It's about their night at prom, and confessing secrets. It also involves what happens afterwards. :)Complete
Waiting With Death
Sometimes the best thing you can do is move on, that's what Cassedy has always been told. But when she 'dies', she isn't ready to go. The Grim Reaper is waiting for her to help her pass into the great beyond. The afterlife. Heaven. That bright light at the end of the tunnel called life. But she cannot pass over. She is tethered to earth by her heart. It is being kept beating by a ventilator that is forcing air through her lungs when her spirit is long gone. The only thing left to do is wait with death. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Cassedy felt tears fall down her face. Her knees collapsed and she fell to the floor as she started crying harder and harder until the tears were racing down her face. Grim grabbed her, holding her as she cried herself out. For an hour, Grim sat there with her. When all of her tears were gone, he wiped her away the streaks they had made down her face. "I'm never gonna get better..." she whispered. One last tear fell down her face as she look at the hospital bed where her body was. She was never going to be that girl again. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Sorry if this book is sad. If you don't like books that discuss topics like cancer or death, I suggest you read a different book. But I hope you enjoy the book if you do read it! ?Complete
Chains (Annabeth Chase x Male Reader)
"Is it love or fate that binds us?" Being a half-blood is dangerous. Brutal. Unforgiving. Y/N knew that from the start. Raised by Athena herself, he was sculpted to be a weapon- sharp, precise, unfeeling. But the gods never shape without secrets. And Y/N was never told the whole truth. When he's sent to Camp Half-Blood, his silver tongue and haunting presence draw attention fast- but not all eyes are kind. Something inside him is stirring. Something ancient. A power that doesn't belong to Athena... and a heart that was never meant to feel. As the lines between strategy and sentiment begin to blur, Y/N is caught in a divine game with no rules-only wagers. A quiet pull toward a girl with storm-gray eyes. A prophecy left unsaid. A choice he was never supposed to have.
