**Nanowrimo 2023** Savannah is creative soul fatigued by the doldrums of her banal day to day who finds herself hopeleslly under the spell of an abandonded victorian house on an idyllic seaside cliff in Astoria Oregon. Against her better judgment, she sheds the life she knows to jump at the chance to make the house hers, only to find out too late that it comes with the benefit of an obnoxious ghost, a storied past that has marked it with disaster, and that it has a disquieting tendency of drawing all manner of strangeness to its door.

As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"Complete

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick / 2025 Wattpad Pride Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*Complete

Mermaid in Beacon Hills
Victoria Sanderson a girl with many secrets moves to a new town on the west coast that's shrouded in secrets of their own. *Currently a new version is up and I'm rewriting all of this fanfiction all in one.* Okay I'm going to be using different instances from mako mermaids, h20, and of course teen wolf. To better fit my story idea and plot. I don't own any of the characters besides the ones I create. This is purely written for fun because of boredom from being in isolation from the beginning of the pandemic. I started writing this a couple of years ago but picked it up more due to Covid. It's a fan fiction some people can't grasp that idea. I can write this however I want. If you don't like it don't read it. If anyone says anything negative, you will be reported. I don't have time or the mental patience for any of it.Complete

A perfect world for Amelie has twisted into her own personal hell. July 27th -- the day that should have been her happiest -- has become a prison she can't escape. No matter how closely she follows the script, no matter how carefully she plays her role, the story resets, dragging her back to the beginning. Now Amelie is haunted by two questions: How long can she survive when fate itself toys with her? And can she ever break free from the curse that binds her to this endless loop? *** Amelie was supposed to be the Female Lead. The story should have been hers - romance, friendship, a perfect future written in her favor. But when the world around her begins to rot into chaos, when her classmates turn into shadows with blood in their eyes, Amelie realizes the script is broken. The Male Lead she was meant to protect slips further from her grasp, and the story she thought she belonged to twists into something unrecognizable. And then it happens. A stranger steps out from the faceless crowd - an "extra" she was never meant to notice. Someone who shouldn't exist suddenly reaches for her hand. Hope comes at a cost. Every death writes her deeper into the crimson loop. And Amelie can't help but ask: ❝If I was written to be the heroine... then why does it feel like I'm not the main character anymore?❞ *** This is a work of fiction. The cover's from Pinterest.
