The country is technically called Etharis, but Clay likes to call it the Hollow, that's just how it feels to him. It's dark and depressing and dangerous and, well, hollow. He was fortunate to have a nice upbringing with two loving parents, hardly having to worry about putting food on the table or the safety of his family.

Strangers. (DNF College AU)
Clay was a quiet college student. His friend group consisted of loud, outgoing people, meaning he usually felt left out or ignored. Clay either spends his time with his best friend Sapnap, working, or doing school work. His life was plain. It was boring. He was looking for any kind of change. George, on the other hand, wasn't quiet or shy at all. In fact, he was very popular on campus. He was outgoing and enjoyed talking to people. George is hiding a secret, though. Little do the people around him know, he's a famous adult video star. He streams these videos and receives a large amount of money from viewers. Little does George know that the seemingly innocent coffee shop boy isn't as innocent as he seems. (If any kind of sexual reading makes you uncomfortable, this is definitely not the book for you.) #4 in DNF #2 in DNF Started: January 11, 2024 Ended: January 31st, 2024 TW: Smut (obv) SA Drugs Alcohol Verbal/physical abuse Bad eating habits Self harm Homophobia R@pe Suicide mentions/thoughtsComplete

They moved to a small town in Florida, basically in the middle of nowhere to start over. Clay, on the other hand, lives a very happy life. He earns a steady allowance from helping his parents on their farm. Everyone at school loves him. He gets good grades. Girls like him. Clay is hiding a dark secret, though. One that could never be exposed to a small town like this. Clay likes men. The only people that know are his friend group and parents. How long can he bear to keep this secret for?

Promises of the Bound
An eighteen-year-old, young man who goes by "Jonesy" to those who know him has grown so very bored of his stagnated day-to-day. The same repetitive cycle of sitting around the same boring home, interacting with the same small clutch of friends has lead to them finding some interesting ways of passing the time. Jonesy, though, never really bought into the whole "devil worshiping" thing from the start. It was more about a change of pace from the tedium. Or, that's what he likes to tell himself. Weeks of unremarkable attempts at summoning a creature from the underworld to do their halfhearted bidding come to a head on yet another dull, autumn evening with the arrival of a fire-haired "Princess of Hell" who goes by only one name; Etna. Things quickly slip out of hand when she makes abundantly clear that her lengthy trip from home has a singular focus. A goal which only Jonesy knows full well the deeper meaning, and consequences, of, even if he is yet unwilling to admit this to himself. His new companion, however, will ensure that he remembers every instance in which he sought her return from memories long since repressed, but not forgotten. When that reminder comes in the form of the Devil's adorable, young, millenniums-old niece, he finds himself unwilling to deny her promise to once again become his Everything. They say that the Devil sees all and forgets nothing... So does Etna.Complete

You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening. The sun was gone. Everywhere, in every state, city, country.

People that wanted to hurt you. Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom?
