"I work from home—telemarketing, but Trudy, poor Trudy, she still has to brave the hour drive out of Poughkeepsie to that bank-teller job. They've seen five attempted robberies this week. They have a squad of cops there now that take fingerprint scans at the door. All because the late night news says that this time next month--we are all going to die."

Trudy is serious and settled, raising a rambunctious six year old. To Patrica, serious is deciding on a bottle of wine. The two sisters live together and are dealing with a world about to blow -- or so they say.

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez
50 parts Complete
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°
The Heavens Are Empty by EmiliaHell
2 parts Ongoing
The world is shrouded in darkness and bitter cold. The flame is the most valuable thing in existence. It is light and warmth. It is a treasure, and also a currency. It is a lifeline. Born in the slums of the capital city, Birdie was raised by a family of other orphaned children not much older than himself. Every day of their lives was spent searching, begging, and stealing; anything to stay alive. When Birdie's older sister Ranine is offered a position at a brothel in the city's second quarter, she cannot refuse. Her only condition: Birdie is to join her. He is the youngest, the most sheltered, the most spoiled. And Ranine has made it her life's goal to protect him. Swept into a new world, far from the rest of their family, they are given a new life and a purpose. Ranine's: to serve the patrons of the Rose Hotel. Birdie's: to observe. Hidden in plain sight, Birdie masquerades as a fellow escort deemed unsuitable for consumption. After a near-fatal incident, Birdie finds himself on the receiving end of a powerful man's gratitude. The problem, however, is what this man's attention does to Birdie, and how much he likes it. As the two men grow closer than Birdie ever thought possible, he finds his heart wandering into places previously unknown to him. Not everything is as it seems, though. And not everyone is who they say they are. As Birdie falls further into these new feelings, he will find that some things are inescapable, no matter how hard we try. After all, love spares no one.
