Shades of Winter (bxb)
A serial killer and a Hero. Playing a game of cat and mouse while wreaking havoc. Which will outsmart the other? What will be revealed as they get closer and learn more about each other? "Reality is whatever I want." "We'll see." This story uses Marvel's idea of infinity stones, but they're more prevalent. Everyone has at least one. I have an external link at the bottom of most of the chapters that leads to a Google Doc that explains the world. Please let me know if it works. Since Wattpad has an age of consent in their guidelines, I will have the explicit scenes on AO3 and not on here. If scenes like that make you uncomfortable, this will be the version without any of that. If you're curious, I don't use any of the more graphic words, this kind of thing makes me a bit uncomfortable so I wrote it in a way that didn't make me feel weird. Either way, you read whichever version you like. The Wattpad version will allude to some of those scenes however because some are quite important. I'll probably put an announcement or something at the start to let you know.
THE CURSE OF THE AFRICAN CUPIDS
Set in a divided city struggling with deep racial tensions, the story follows Kofi, a young Black man from a marginalized community, as he discovers the brutal history of his ancestors' fight against systemic oppression. His family's history is filled with stories of resistance, survival, and sacrifice, but also violence-both experienced and perpetrated. Kofi is forced to confront these painful truths as he embarks on a journey to understand the forces that have shaped his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lena, a White woman from a privileged background who, upon learning about her own family's involvement in the oppressive systems of the past, starts questioning her role in perpetuating inequality. Despite their differences, Kofi and Lena begin to work together, uncovering hidden truths about the city's past and the violent conflicts that have defined it. As the two of them get closer to exposing a conspiracy that has kept the racial divide intact, they are forced to navigate escalating violence from both sides-those fighting for change and those desperately trying to maintain the status quo. The city's streets become a battleground, with riots, protests, and acts of terror shaking the foundation of society. In the midst of all this, Kofi and Lena must face not only the physical violence around them but also the psychological toll that the history of oppression takes on their minds and spirits. The story explores the cyclical nature of violence, the need for justice, and the human cost of conflict. As the narrative unfolds, the question becomes not just how to survive, but how to break the cycle of violence and move toward a future where peace is possible.Complete
