*The people inside of this work are FACE-CLAIMS. This has no correlation to any IRL individual.*

*This is messy plot. Made when I was a teen. Beware.*

The story of a young woman who finds her style, self worth, and strength through the power of friendship, and true love. With a punk twist. 

In 2010, living in suburban CHICAGO IL, Alice Mariposa Anderson, 19, wishes for a teenage dream of sex, drugs, romance and fame. A Punk Rock life is a fantasy that corrupts her daydreams every waking hour, and her love of music only fuels it--but it's a life that'll only come true if she abandons the strict religious rules of her parents Christian household, and takes a chance on her new punkstar neighbors across the street.

⭑ ⭑ ⭑

Harlow Silver is a 21 y/o drummer for an underground scene/punk band named Bloody Valentine, moving from a loud, trashy New York City apartment to a quiet house in Chicago to escape his grim, horrific past. While also seeking out answers only Chicago could give him. 

But when he moves in across the street from a prudent, annoying, religious girl looking to bust out from her protective shell, he's forced to face his fears and break through the mental barriers that bind him to his trauma. 

And maybe, just maybe, love again.

We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.

20 parts Ongoing Mature
A slow, dystopian thriller that evolves into a gripping, violent sci-fi nightmare. --------- Alice has a good life: a great job, a cozy, paid-off apartment, and a loving husband. She also has an oppressive government, a war-torn city, and general social decay around her, and what seems to be an alien invasion, though nobody is willing to admit it. You know, the kind of things that can really throw a wrench into a morning commute. She should have left a long time ago, but right or wrong, it's her country. What's the worst that could happen? No, seriously, what's literally the worst? ------ It starts as my lightest and most melancholic work, but will end up the heaviest -- expect constantly rising tension as we go from moody dystopia into politics and philosophy into bdsm and violence, and into... oh well, read it. Overarching themes: evolution, adaptation, duty, freedom, metal music. The first 10 chapters are a clean, dystopian, political story. From 11th chapter on, wheels come off. I tried to make it sound universal; still, you can figure out approximately when I had it first outlined. Warnings (from chapter 11 on): violence, attempted SA, dubcon, smut. ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Fall from Grace by SereneArchangel
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world divided - the land of man, the land of beasts, and the land of demons - there lies a grey area serving as a nonpartisan area bordering the three realms. The Underground exists as a morally "grey" zone where the persons of the three kingdoms can (somewhat) peacefully coexist - if for no reason other than the pursuit of their vices. Fancy a bit of human meat for supper? The Underground is the best market for beast and human flesh alike. Longing for a slave to cater to your every desire? The Underground has a wide variety to choose from. Just wanting something on which to unleash your murderous intentions? The Underground won't bat an eye or bother with pesky questions. Lilith was a frequent item among the Underground. Once meant to be a contender for the throne of a small country in the human realm, she was disowned, sold in the Underground, traded, re-sold, and so-on for years until she is placed in a holding cell with a small beast child. She could only barely see his form in the dimly lit room made of stone, but she could see his green eyes glowing faintly like those of a cat looking towards a light. He spoke with a slight lisp, and his voice shook with fear when he finally began to respond to her questions. The pair form an unlikely bond that will change the course of both their lives in a way they never thought possible. Author's note: this story will contain sensitive/triggering topics, and viewer discretion is advised. Additionally, due to the time setting and manner of speech in the story, the "c-word" will be used at times to reference the female anatomy.

Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone?

Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑ by Zondra_Allison
8 parts Complete Mature
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.
