Ambriel has managed to avoid the 'curse' that has turned most of humanity into monsters. After being separated from her mother as a child, Ambriel keeps her head down by earning her keep as a scavenger. That is until one morning, she ventures too far into the DeadLands and crashes face-first into a black, plumed monster who she dubs, Grackle. Ambriel just wants to survive. Grackle refuses to release her unless he can guarantee she is not a threat to his kind. And so, the two of them strike a deal.

After both Ambriel and Grackle are free from one another, a twist of fate brings them together once again when Ambriel and her childhood friend end up in Grackle's village. It is here, a village where the curse thrives, that Ambriel unravels the truth of their world, and she finds love where she least expected it - the foul-mouthed, terrifying, and soft-hearted Grackle.

A/N: This is my experimental novella for #ONC2023. Trying some new things here so forgive the err, "first draftiness" of it. The cover is temporary.

Where We Belong ni jaiwantstocry

*********************** "You're the city kid who's parents kicked the buck- fuck. I mean shit. I mean hi." He stammers. The entire family stares at Jack in pure horror. I burst into laugher, still to their horror. "Good one." I chuckle. Jack raises his sharp eyebrows. "You're fucked up, City Boy." He says. "Kieran." I say. "Bless you." He responds quickly. "No that's my name. Kieran." I elaborate. "Like the coffee maker?" He asks. "What? No, not Kierig, Kieran." I repeat. "Key ring." Jack says. I sigh. "I'm bein' serious as all outdoors, I can't say it." Jack says. "Maybe because you talk like a weed whacker." I say. Jack looks taken back by my comment. "You're funny. I like you...Kerin?" Jack says. "Keep trying." I say. "Jack, why don't you help Kieran settle into his room?" Roger suggests putting so much emphasis on my name, I almost forget how to say it. "You mean my room? Sure thing, Father." Jack huffs. Wait... I have to share a room with that thing? He looks like he bites. "Don't worry, Kieran. He don't bite." Roger assures me. Did I say that aloud or has Jack bitten in the past? **************************** Kieran's life is in shambles. His parents suddenly die in a car accident and he is sent to his father's next of kin, Roger all the way in Georgia. He doesn't know Roger, He doesn't like Georgia, and worse - they live on farm and Roger has 7 kids. Things don't look good For Kieran until he meets the very good-looking (yet ugly talking), Jack Matthews, one of Roger's 7 children and his new roommate.

Wolf Bite || BL ni this-bsh-empty

Monday, August 1 Dear Isaac, if you're reading this, that means you've turned eighteen. Congratulations, I'm so proud of you. I hope you had a great day! But unfortunately, that also means I'm not there to celebrate with you, I'm so sorry about that. I never thought I'd have to write this journal, but here I am.

"I think I do." I whispered to him. "You are a butt-face sometimes." I laughed softly earning a raised brow from him. "But deep down you have been nothing but kind to me. You have trusted me; you have taught me, and you have listened and taken care of me when you didn't have to." I smiled softly. "Come here." He barely breathed opening his arms slightly. I didn't let the surprise register as my body willingly moved into his embrace as he held me tight against his firm and warm body. "You are kind. So unbelievably kind Little Queen." I smiled against his chest, pulling away slightly to look up at him. He looked down at me raising a hand to tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear. Without thinking I leaned in connecting my lips with his... (Finished 4/23/25)

A TASTE OF CANDY POISON ni bleuesea

A NOT SO INNOCENT 'NERD' SEBASTIAN FERNANDEZ is known as the "nerd" at school though he's not really one. Sure, he's smart, but he hates being called that, especially since he doesn't even wear "nerdy" clothes or glasses. His twin once told him that he looks better in simple yet stylish outfits, and well, he followed that advice. But Sebastian, the so-called "nerd," has a secret. He's gay. And not just gay, he's been in love with one and only KYLLE WINSTON for a long time now. Everything changes when Sebastian is suddenly drugged and raped by his own best friend, MARK ANTHONY DESMOND. For most people, that would've been the end of a friendship, something unforgivable. But in Sebastian's case... he never reported it. He never even got angry. Crazy, right? As if destiny itself was toying with him, Sebastian keeps crossing paths with new people, including ARKIE LEWIS AUGUSTINE, a persistent stalker who eventually forces him to be his boyfriend. So, what will happen to Sebastian now? Will he let himself be manipulated again, or finally break free from the toxic people around him? _________________________________ "We're all just meant to meet each other but was never meant for each other" ________________________________ ♥ PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME ♥WILL DEFINITELY RE EDIT EVERYTHING AFTER I FINISHED THIS BOOK This book might contains some; •Error(yeah since English is not my first language so forgive me and correct me if I'm wrong) •SMUT(yeah I know what you're thinking,but don't report me, I'm begging hehe) •Strong Languages(I mean,some curses like 'fuck','shit',or something like that) •Angst •Cringe(hehe,yeah) •LGBTQ+ •GAY(BL)
