On the contrary, she doesn't really stand out at her American High School in Taiwan. There was just something about Rory's life that was strangely normal and bleak. She was ordinary looking, accompanied by average grades and normal parents. So when she witnesses the aftermath of a homicide in the elevator of her dormitory, she comes face to face with her dark obsession, and her guilt melts into a frenzied panic. She is desperate to find the sadistic killer and is certain it had something to do with the wide-eyed boy hovering before the fresh corpse. Rory is determined to befriend this boy and live the dream that both haunted and exhilarated her. Will she finally find a deeper meaning in her life? Or will she forever drown in the pity of her own guilt?

Prelude of Humanity by Tubasas

Akko is your average person, sometimes below-average, sometimes above-average. An independent man entering college, he resides in the Ruruteru Ward within a country miles away from his hometown. He lives a new independent life as minimal as it gets with society as his worst archnemesis, it feels like it'll lower his humanity, feeling like solidarity of being a man on an island is what all he needs in life. That was about to change in his sophomore year when one day Ala-chan, his friend, invited him to a hangout with her circle of friends. When he felt that everything was a tipping point to where everything was too good to be true, he blindly sparked a relationship with someone, but everything went blind from there. As doubts rushed through his overthinking about being with her and deserving all of this societal goodness, it became a monumental heap for him and his significant other. What turned out to be a utopian milestone for him turned into a war of love, a war of assurance, and a war of silence. With a society so unfair and muted, will Akko's view on society remain as weathered as it has always been, or will society or even his few acquaintances be on his side?

THE DIVINE COMEDY of Dante by TheDreamWalker1016

is an epic allegory of the spiritual journey of man. Virgil, Dante the pilgrim's guide, leads him through the 7 layers of hell. Throughout his journey through the torturous layers, Dante discovers the perfection of God's divine justice and themes of contrapasso are largely explored. Classical symbolism and classical figures are constantly referenced. This serves to emphasize that God's power rules over all - even pagan characters/figures. Dante also uses structure prominently to emphasize the trinity. By organizing the poem into 3 line stanza's consistently, it emphasizes the perfection of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Similarly, pay close attention to the numbering of Cantos. The number symbolism of '3' for the trinity, and '7' for the holy number is consistently used throughout the work.--

Hold On (Book 1 of It's Not Over) by QDracul

[Completed] Sanders Sides human au fanfic. Twin brothers Virgil and Patton Novas have moved around a lot thanks to their father's job. From their father's home country, and their birth place, of Cabo Verde to their mother's country of birth, Ireland. From Ireland to Massachusetts. From Massachusetts to Arizona. After spending several years in a stable environment they're moving again, this time not only are they leaving behind friends but also their mother's grave. Virgil has to convince his twin brother and their dad that, despite his terrible migraines and sometimes crippling anxiety, he won't go down the same road as his mother. On top of having an overprotective family he has to navigate being the new kid in his senior year of high school, making friends, falling in love, and learning how to save a life. How hard can the next nine months be? All he has to do is hold on and convince his new best friend to do the same. I do not own the characters Virgil, Patton, Roman, Remus, Deceit, Remy, or Emile Picani. They belong to the awesome, amazingly talented cinnamon roll that is Thomas Sanders. I also don't like 99% of the music and song lyrics that will make an appearance in this book. I am, however, the proud owner of the hyperactive muse (by the name of Orion who makes an appearance in here) that spawned this story into existence when he was supposed to be helping me work on my other two fan fictions and three original works. And I'm also the owner of the many side and minor background characters that may or may not get names.

"Fuck Bambi, you're so perfect." "Do you hate me?" I ask, he grazed my cheek, his eyes looking back into mine as he lowered his head, his lips grazing mine. "You could kill me and I'd still crawl back to you, dead or not." "I don't know what love is, but fuck, if what we have is love than I want nothing else but it." ---- Ashform Reform Institute isn't a school-it's a sentence. A prison disguised as a second chance, where every student has blood on their hands, a crime on their record, and a secret they'd kill to keep buried. Elavenna Vale doesn't belong here. At least, that's what she tells herself. But survival at Ashform means playing by its rules-stay quiet, don't ask questions, and never trust the wrong person. Especially not Rook Elias Vaughn. He's chaos in human form. A fighter with bruised knuckles, secrets none knows, and a secret life. He has his own reasons for being here, and Venna should stay far, far away. Unfortunately, that seems impossible when they have to share a dorm. But when students start vanishing, and the school's walls close in like a noose, she realizes something horrifying-the worst monsters aren't locked outside. They're already here. And if Venna isn't careful, she'll be next. ---- #1 - Reform School
