"THOU SHALT NOT KILL" is one of the deadly sins isn't it? So why is Sarah Wenham preparing to end her husband Tom's life?
Sarah is a partner in a law practice, and her husband is in a coma following an air accident in the mountains of Switzerland. The consultant treating Tom informs Sarah that there is no brain stem function, and suggests that he should be allowed to die naturally with dignity. Sarah loves Tom so much, so how can she give permission for the machine keeping him alive to be switched off? But deep down, Sarah knows there is no hope for Tom, and she gives her consent.
The only way Sarah can cope with the knowledge of what she has done, is to build a wall of ice around her emotions. How and when the ice melts, is the nub of this sometimes terrifying, and yet heart-warming story?
Sarah goes through a lifetime's worth of trauma, before she achieves closure.

Starting World War 3! (A Hetalia Fanfic)
Despite it being well past sunrise, the house was dark. I had woken up with a start, hearing the sound of a car below but now as I lay awake, I was in even more of a panic. "Don't make a sound." She whispered as she clasped a hand over my mouth, "The house is surrounded. They're going to kill us. They're going to kill the countries." ... It is gradually nearing to two decades since Taishya Rovanoff ran away with her twins and despite the media taking the world by storm, great tensions are underlying once-happy friendships with the nations. When a young and perhaps too-curious state comes across some files, she decides it is her own personal mission to solve the missing-twin mystery. This, however, proves more challenging than not when old scars are reopened leading to a series of events which brings the world to its knees. With forgotten prophecies and mysterious attacks threatening the lives of once-strong countries, the world is inevitably falling apart. So how is it, with all the chaos going on, a missing lady, a set of twins, a naïve child, a sickly teenager, a frightened mother, a celestial body and a queen all bring about the darkest hour the personified nations have ever faced? How is it that the threads of the earth are slowly undoing to bring about the start of the end of the world? ... DISCLAIMER: The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons, places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. The only things that I own are the plot, Taishya and any other OC's I might decide to include. If I did own Hetalia, I wouldn't be writing this...actually, I reckon I would be on an island, basking in the sun and drinking a pineapple cocktail whilst my servants brought slices of nectarines. Hetalia and it's characters belong to their rightful genius owner, Hidekaz Himaruya...(seriously, that man is a god!).Complete

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋 | 𝟏𝟖+
✧ 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐋𝐘𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈 (𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍) ✧ When I was six I was kidnapped and taken away from my family for seven months. Thirteen years later and I have little to no memory of who had taken me. Ever since then my father has been severely overprotective and never lets me out of his sight. Now that I'm somewhat on my own everything starts to change. When I finish high school and start attending New York University my life takes a turn, for better and for worse. They're back. ☆ 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ☆ Years ago we found our little angel. She just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was the light in our lives, until one day we lost her again. Thirteen years later and we still mourn the loss of our sweetheart, but we found her once, we will do it again. I am the head of the Russian mafia, or a professor at NYU depending who you ask. One day I raise my head to look around at the sea of students and my eyes lock on a familiar pair of ocean blue irises. ★ 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋 ★ I'm a heartless killer and offer no apologies for it. As the head of the Russian mafia along with being the CEO to a multibillion dollar company, my life is nothing but darkness. During the day I'm an office man, at night my knife slashes through the necks of anyone I can get my hands on. Killing is my outlet, ever since I lost her. It helps me keep my anger in check. I've never stopped looking for her. We've come close multiple times, but each time came out unsuccessful. As I put a bullet in the head of my ex-guard, Alex comes rushing into the room, and the look on his face says it all. He found her. Start: July 4th End: ///
His Favorite Scar
Nobody knew his last name, but they knew his name and also that he was the right hand of the most feared and powerful Mafia, not just in Russia, but in the entire world, and that was enough. With a Greek God like body, he had women throwing themselves at him and he made sure to enjoy every bit of the attention that he got, for he was no saint, he was a player! Apart from being the protagonist of every woman's wet dreams, he was also everything that a Mafia's right hand should have been. He was ruthless. He was cruel. He was a fucking killing machine! Everybody feared him and the only thing that he feared was...falling for his best friend's little sister. Scarlett Knight... She was your typical rich, spoiled brat. Growing up in a Mafia family, with an overprotective father and an equally overprotective brother, wasn't easy, but she learnt to live with it. With an innocent face and drop dead gorgeous figure, she knew, she turned heads wherever she went. Having seen enough bloodshed and violence all her life, her heart has turned cold, but the only time her heart warms up is...whenever she sees him. Her childhood crush. David... But too bad, he sees her only as his best friend's baby sister...or so she thought. Little did she know that...she was His Favorite Scar...imprinted, not just on his heart, but on his soul as well. A love story awaiting to bloom...a secret awaiting to destroy it. ••• Spin-off to "Loving The Russian Mafia" & "Scars On Her Soul" Can be read as a stand alone book, but I would suggest reading the above mentioned books first, to understand this one better.

So, this is based off the song Vampire by Johnnie Gilbert, simply because I love the song. And since I can't have a vampire girlfriend or be someone's vampire girl friend I will write this book to get over my never happening fantasies, xoxo. Contains: Mentions of Blood Death Sex Gore Imprisonment Manipulation Male x Male SaneGiyuu All of this is an AU not how I actually protray the cannon characters, this is only fannon. Thought I had to add this in since someone started to press me because apparently "SANEGIYUU IS NOT CANNON, IT SHOULD BE SHINOGIYUU AND SANEKANA! GIYUU AND SHINOBU ACTUALLY SAID THEY LOVED EACH OTHER WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE MOON AND SANEMI WAS GOING TO PROPOSE TO KANAE BEFORE SHE DIED IN THE MANGA" Blah Blah, nobody gives a fuck, THIS IS ONLY FANNON meaning I doubt the writers or creators of the anime are going to be reading a 17 year olds FAN MADE story and make that the actual plot of the whole thing. Well besides that. Sanemi was in a car accident and was put into a coma. Or that is what the people around him think. Sanemi did get into a car accident but not in a coma. When he went to the hospital and certain being who was a nurse started to use him as a blood supply because they were a vampire. He was stuck in a weak not conscious state having to deal getting fed on for 3 years, until he finally gained the strength he needed and tried to run away and was almost caught but somehow ran into another vampire who was there to kill the nurse vampire. There was a fight and Sanemi was grabbed by the nurse vampire and she was trying to turn him into one as well, but right as that happened she was killed. Something changed in Sanemi and the vampire who saved him teaches him how to deal with the changes on his body.Complete
