Two things are inevitable in this world: Life and Death.
When you tamper with that balance you're asking for trouble. Andy didn't think about what would happen if she used her strange gift just this once on an actual person. She just wanted to give someone a second chance. But good intentions don't interest the Grim Reaper.
Not when he's owed a soul.

The Grim Reaper Effect by starburrt

Death is a funny thing. It's the ultimate step out of our comfort zones. You realize this world is the biggest comfort zone there is. Earth has always been a constant in a constantly changing world. We're all born into it with this air of certainty. We always know the ground under our feet will be there tomorrow. Death is like waking up and that comfort of the world around you is destroyed. -Ariella Denise // Mackenzie Oliver is finally a senior. She's ready to graduate and move on with life. But it's not that simple. In fact, it's impossible. One day, some random guy shows up claiming to be the Grim Reaper and tells her she only has one year to live. What do you say to that? "Bullshit." Unfortunately, vulgar language isn't going to stop the clock or save her life. Neither is slapping the Grim Reaper across the face. But, hey. It never hurts to try.

The Grim Reaper's Girl by joshszz

This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.

Don't Fear The Reaper by goddessofwisdom-

[ highest ranking: #179 in paranormal ] Something wicked is coming to Ashdown, Vermont. Something dark, deadly, and... platinum blonde? 17 year-old Lila Cabrera is a certifiable hot mess. Last spring, on the night of Junior Prom, Lila survived a fatal car crash - one that left her then-boyfriend, Will, dead, before they could even reach the dance. Because of that night, Lila has lost her friends, her sense of protection, and, worst of all, the love of her life. Now, Lila is a senior, still grieving her lost love, and she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. But that's okay, because on the 3 month anniversary of the crash, the Grim Reaper himself shows up at her house, warning her that she is fated to die by her 18th birthday next May. The Reaper then says that his job is to help her live out her bucket list before he collects her soul on that fated day. But does The Reaper, who's sarcastic, sardonic and skeleton-like, have ulterior motives? Can Lila prevent her fate? And is Will really gone? There's only one way to find out - and it's through Death himself. [ an original fic ] © october 2017 - august 2018 by athena m.

Azrael by _thatwriternerd_

Life was just a huge nightmare for Ife and things just seemed to go from bad to worse for her. She never caught a break. She didn't think she did anything to deserve such a life but then again, even if she didn't know what it was, God knows all. The quickest escape would have been suicide. But suicide wasn't the bravest. It was cowardly. But she didn't even have the courage to try. When she gets a chance to meet the Angel of Death as she'd been wishing, it doesn't quite go as planned. But that's ok. Because things do not always work out how we want them to. *** I created a challenge for myself, or a proposal where you send me a word or a phrase or a sentence.

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°
