The church grim is an animal guardian, usually a dog, that would be burried alive in a graveyard// churchyard. The first person to be buried at a new Yard was tasked with eternally protecting the building and gounds from evil. To make sure no human suffered the job, the dogs where chosen to take that mantle of pride in protecting all that who are buried there. The grim spirit in English and Nordic folklore, oversees the welfare of churches, and protects the churchyard from those who would profane and commit sacrilege against it. It often appears as a black dog but is known to take the form of other animals. In modern times, when black dogs are kept as pets in churches and their attached parsonages, these are called church Grims since they reside on and guard ecclesiastical property.

My Soul to Reap (Archived)
https://www.wattpad.com/story/59989002-my-soul-to-reap This should be considered a "first draft" kept for posterity. Please see the above link for an updated, edited version. "Help me raise some hell, Cammie, and you can get your soul back." Grim reapers are skeletal figures in black robes. That's what they are in movies, anyways. But in real life, they used to be people. Every supernatural creature knows to stay out of their way, because you don't mess with death. Or, at least they used to. Cammie isn't anything other than an ordinary girl who makes a mistake at a party. But her death leads to her meeting one of the reapers upset with the current state of affairs, and her life instantly gets more dangerous. While she's trailing behind this eccentric girl who claims to own her soul, she meets the very vampire that killed her- and he's not the only one who's taken an interest in her. The supernatural world is gearing up for war, and Cammie is one of the only ones with the chance to choose what side she wants to be on. Or, so she thinks.Complete

Black Butler and the Modern Reader S1
When home alone, Y/N has a strange encounter with a man claiming to be a television god, who grants her the ability to enter her favorite show, Black Butler. However, what he didn't tell her is that this power is much more than it seems... wHaT cAn PoSsIbLy Go WrOnG? {Various Black Butler Characters x Female Reader} Side Note: I wrote the Y/N in this story as American. If that bothers you, sorry. Feel free to ignore that detail if you want to. It's not that important I guess, but it's mentioned a few times in the story. Just a heads up, you know? Another Side Note: This book, as well as it's sequel, are going under some serious editing, so if something's a little goofy that doesn't quite match up, realize I am making some major fixes to parts of the story and dialogue. Along with this, please don't mind that some of it is a little cringe. This is up there with one of my first stories ever made, and I promise, I've improved greatly since then, which you will notice by the time I finish editing what a difference it'll be.Complete
