Dreamwalkers: The Awakening by corinne_d

Being able to create alternate universes in your sleep might seem like the ultimate super power, but when a malevolent force from the dream realm tracks you down in real life, how do you escape it? Seventeen-year-old dreamwalkers and life-long best friends Emma and Zoe must journey deep into the perilous, unpredictable dream realm, risking their lives while evading constant danger, in order to seek out and destroy the evil that threatens to capture their souls for eternity--even if it means they'll have to give up their super power and obliterate the dream realm forever. To be successful, they must first immerse themselves in the rich history of dreamwalking. But this knowledge will do more than teach them how to defeat the evil lurking around every corner. It will reveal dark family secrets, shattering their realities.

Like the Dawn by LacheMooney

Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

If The Villain Catches Me Alive by srimaa_1

I've possessed a villainous master who is about to be gruesomely murdered by the main villain in the ruined BL novel <Jeffrey>. With a primal instinct to not want to die, I tried everything I could to escape the death flag. "Um... Hi? Have you eaten?" I even let him out of the basement where he was locked up. "This is Jeffrey, he's going to be staying with us from now on." I even turned the original protagonist into his childhood friend. "I never thought of you as my master." But my student won't let go of my death flag. Aish, this isn't working. Let's run away. *** After a series of twists and turns, my escape seemed to be successful, though my body was weakened and my magic was drained. I thought I could start a new life in the countryside working with the second job I found... "I've been waiting. Dante." One day, I was found alive by my villainous disciple. *** "You... lost your memory?" No. I just lied because I didn't want to be dragged back. "...It's okay. We're back together. We can just start from the beginning." No, where is my consent? And start what, with my death ending? At that moment, my student said something outrageous. "You and I were lovers. A very affectionate lovers."

Realm of Renee by PastelOB

Your past self has left behind a document, narrating all the events that has happened in the three months. A love story. Between two teenagers, one is a Human and the other, a Spirit.
