Etho is a survivor.

It's something we all know. He lives for himself and no one else.

I thought I could prove it wrong. I thought he loved me and he'd do anything for me. I thought he could make a exception from his survivability rules for me.

It turns out he couldn't, and now here I am, pretending I don't care that he won't give me a life even though he has some to spare. Instead, he split our base with fences and forbid me from crossing to his side.

It isn't fair. Etho takes but doesn't give. He says he cares about me, but then he backs away when helping me risks his own safety.

Maybe I should've killed him when I was under the Curse instead of sparing him. Maybe then I wouldn't be stuck as a Red, scorned and looked down apon by everyone.

Maybe I shouldn't have fallen in love with him in the first place.

::..:..::

In other words, all Bdubs wants is a life from Etho but Etho has a habit of keeping them to himself.

(aka I saw Etho didn't give a life to anyone during Last Life (ignoring You Bet Your Life) and went 'hmm I can do something with this')

Installation 5 of the Foxlore Collection. 
This fic can be read on its own, but I'd recommend reading the sequel, Cold, Sleepless Nights, afterwards :D

WARNING: this book includes blood, manipulation, cursing, and mature topics (not smut please don't think that). Feel free to click off if any of these make you uncomfortable. ~•~ Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

It takes me a long time to come up with this stuff and it would be better to write your own work!!

Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more. ((Heelloooo, thanks for clicking. :3 Its been quite a bit since I've written anything but I wanted to try something new. Been into making my own novels and stories and this ones an au based around the chars of my current works. This is gonna be a m/m story. Well theres three of them but who doesnt love a love triangle. Hope ya'll enjoy my for funzies story with love, heartbreak, and gay ass sex. At least weekly updates but possibly more often. We shall see haha. Feel free to ask questions or comment your thoughts, I love those Now, quick warning that there are dark themes involved in this story including manipulation, power dynamics, and dubious consent. Those chapters can be skippable without losing too much plot but I'm warning in advance that viewer discretion is advised.))

A Hermitcraft/ Empires/ Traffic Life SMP Fanfic plus a Few Other Characters, This Story takes place in The Naruto Universe (AU). There will be some Oc inserts, and I'll try not to use them too much. Just My Oc, and my two friends OCs. (My Oc Will Be Etho's Little Sister in this AU, because I see Etho as a Big Brother Figure someone I can look up to; "Being the oldest among my siblings, I was normally the one being looked up to" so having someone else to look up to has helped me figure things out a bit better.) This Will Also Be An Etho centric fanfic because, yes, I'll try my best. I'm not the most creative person. There may also be ships, but I'm not too sure yet, but if I do add Ships (I'm only shipping the characters, not the actual people/CCs.) >--------------------<=======>--------------------< Etho's POV It's the Day of the Academy Graduation Exam, and Etho was nervous. He was in the backyard practicing for the Exam, its quite early in the morning. The sun is just starting to rise from behind the horizon. Ok, I just need to try again, I want to prove I'm ready to protect the village *weaving signs* Shadow Clone Jutsu!. Yes!! I did it. I made 5 Shadow clones this time. Ok, time for target practice as well. Etho sets up a few targets on 3 trees and 2 stones in a circle around him. Closing his eyes, he readys his Kunai and jumps up spining in a 360, and throws the kunai. When he lands, he opens his eyes and looks at the targets. Bullseye, Bullseye, Yes!! All of them are a Bullseye. Etho continues to practice until the sun rises, and Beef calls him inside for breakfast. You were training again, weren't you Etho? Beef asks as they sit at the small dining table for breakfast, Night was already seated. Yeah, I made 5 Shadow Clones this time, and i got all 5 Bullseyes. Beef: Good job, buddy.) Night: That's so cool, Ni-San. Can you teach me, too?) Maybe when you're older, you just started at the Academy. Night: But Ni-San....

TRAILER IN CHAPTER 1 #1 Memories 10/10/2019 #1 Hurt 27/09/2019 #1 Werewolf 04/07/2019 #1 Blind 09/02/2020 #1 Time 10/06/2020 There are three of them They are ruthless They are cursed They are Immortal They are the HellHounds. ****** They were a legend. A story. But all legends are based off of truth. "Don't go out after dark," My father said. "Don't go anywhere alone," My father said "Don't go deep into the woods, for that is where he waits," My father said. I never broke a rule. I was a good girl. But my question always was, what do I do when the monster comes out to play? *** I was blind, so I slowly walk forward, not knowing where he is exactly. But I use my senses. I let this connection pull into a direction. As I slowly walk ,I reach my hand out, "Where are you?" I asked quietly. A big and calloused hand touches my own. From that one touch, electric shocks courses through my body, a strange and warming sensation. I flinched and gasped in fright. The big and strong hand gently grabs mine and softly pulls me forward. A breath hits my face slightly. I was right in front of him. He leans down toward my ear, his lips almost touching it. His breath makes chills run over my neck as he whispers very quietly with a deep and rough voice, "Here I am." *** If you want this book to make sense to you, I would suggest you read Book 2 of my Blood Moon Pack series, it completed and ready to read. You can still read this as stand alone, however there is more information held in Book 2.
Flammable - Taming the Hellhound (bxb) by NotPositive
26 parts Ongoing Mature
"Are you sure you want to do that?" I say with a smirk on my lips. Nothing these wolves do could hold me back. I'd slaughter the whole of them in the blink of an eye, sadistically enjoying every last second of it. Ignoring my mate, it was best to act like I hadn't even acknowledged it. As soon as I figure out how to escape this so called 'dungeon', I'm leaving him in the dust without turning back. The alpha turned to me, rage lighting a fire in his eyes. "Absolutely." I chuckled and caught the confused glances the wolves gave each other. "Then you're in for a wild ride, my friend." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damien Shuck, a 17 year old hellhound who some would consider a sadist. He lives for the death of others, fallen at his own blazing claws. He has lived off the grid for six years, ever since his family was killed by a group of supernatural hunters. Driven mad by his family's death and the brutal reality of life when you're constantly challenged and attacked by other supernaturals. He is the very last hellhound alive, and is constantly being hunted. No one knows who he is or what he looks like. The only thing they find is the trail of chaos, strife, and death he leaves in his paw prints. Axel Lyulph, son of Orion Lyulph, and future alpha of the Lyulph pack. Axel has it all, a supportive family, his best friend as his future beta, and one of the most popular students in Shadow Woods High School. He would be the happiest werewolf to ever live, if it were not for this relentless and anguishing feeling of not being good enough. He worries that if he doesn't meet his mate before he becomes alpha, he won't be able to provide enough for his pack. One day Damien crosses the wrong border, into the wrong pack, and finds himself in more of a struggle than he could have ever imagined.
