With the piece of fine art entitled "The Chasseur in the Forest" by the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, I have created a short story based not only off of the scene in this painting, but also the artist's life and the philosophies of the art period in which he resides. This was an assignment for a class last year, and I thought it would be a good start in practicing my short story writing a little more on here.
A young French dragoon wanders aimlessly through a German evergreen forest, lost and terrified as he faces inevitable death, until he happens upon a peculiar meeting with a talking crow.
*Note: I am not religious. Any words about God in this story I have directly appropriated from Caspar's personal views and the philosophies of Romanticism.
I hope you enjoy c:

My Second Alpha Mate
Please don't reject me... please Goddess no... I don't wanna die a painful death... Sylvia, dumbfounded, thought to herself as her inner wolf Lexa and the majestic blueblack-haired inner wolf simultaneously acknowledged each other telepathically as "MATE". 23 chapters 1 side story -------------------- Light read on werewelf trope. No abuse, no killings don't worry. Also this is the unedited version. I fixed the whole version on another app and haven't for wattpad yet. (Too many back and forths sorry) Having said that, an editor said it has no plot and honestly, it hurt a bit. Knowing I created this for the sake of having an easy-read and fluffy story, I was bothered for three days. But when I saw the 10k reads and mutiple votes, it warmed my heart. However, it was also a wake-up call to me to do better. So this story may have few revisions in the near future. I tried to describe the overall story according to usual knowledge of the werewolf trope, but I also added few of my own ideas in. I will try to be as detailed as possible so even if you are new to this, you will not get lost as to why things are the way they are. 🔞 Smut Warning Chapter 22 Started: December 29, 2022 Finished: January 14, 2023 ***Images are AI Photoleap generated.

A Full Moon Is Poison to Some, to Others, Magic (One Shot)
"What do you believe in, Midoriya?" He asked simply. "What?" The man sighed, "Call me superstitious, but I believe in things that most men don't. Those beliefs are ingrained in me, they dictate my actions and they've saved my life. My gut tells me man should never have entered this place, so I listen." He looked serious and yet unbothered all at once as he turned his face towards the sky, taking his cigarette to tap the ash off into the sea. "If you believe in anything at all, I'd get back on this damn boat kid." Izuku was many things; Reckless? Certainly. A Coward? Never. **WARNINGS: Referenced sexual and physical assault, torture, blood, gore, violence. PLEASE read with these in mind.** P.s. This is about 20k words so strap in. -------------------------------------------------------------- This was first written for the MerMay 2023 challenge on AO3.

Basically, this story is just the lore of my OC, Felix. This took me.. a WHILE, and I am importing this from Google Doc, so I really hope that there isn't a huge loss of quality. This is the first ever story that I have ever completed, so please be mindful, and that this story most certainly not be perfect (although I can say it improves a little bit from the middle to the end; the beginning was when I was just starting to get back into writing stories again, and there is definetly going to be some inaccuracies in this story, for my memory really isn't the best.)Complete

"I've been waiting for this for so long " (William Afton x Y/N)
(Not finished, never will finish it. Funny to say, I wrote this back in my first year of high school for, honestly, shits and giggle but it blew up???? Idk... but I kinda just lost the original plot so it's all over the place, grammar doesn't make sense, nothing in this fucking book makes sense. So my apologies for the dear people whom have read this. I apologize for it being the way it is and how my mind just simply fucked it all up. I thought I could personally make my way up to the top and be so damn happy with it, yet looking back at my 14/15 year old self, it simply was a rich feeling that I was on top; to be honest, I felt like I was best out of all. Looking back and maturing A LOT, I don't feel or think that way. I understand we all have different writing skills or grammar; but that is simply just not in my case. I wrote this out of being greedy and thinking I simply wanted everyone to like it but turns out; even the painter hates its awful paintings. So you may read it if you would like, or don't. Just... idk, thinking about simply deleting it.) [But what I wanted to say is sorry. Sorry for breaking the many promises and wishes of the book to even made it this far.. younger me would have made it true yet knowing the older me wouldn't have.] (Y/N) had a one night-stand the night before her new job at Freddy's Pizzeria. Little does (Y/n) knows that guy she slept with is the co-owner of the Pizzeria. As she gets to kinda know this guy better, the more pain and suffering she goes though. Will (Y/n) stick around more? Will she leave him? (ALL PICTURES GOES TO THE ARTIST!!!) (CHARACTERS GO TO OWNERS!!) (ALL LYRICS GOES TO THE MUSIC ARTIST!!)Complete

And in common lore a dear symbolizes beauty and life. So... after a spell going horribly wrong, Angel's fault, Alastor gets thrown into the mortal world, earth. Unfortunately, before any life was born before the order of the light beings knew its purpose. So... he creates the first plants and animals and becomes the god of the earth. He watches over humanity for 8,000 years. But he has no memory of Charlie or the hotel, only what he knows now. And there is a great evil looming over humanity. An evil storm that never dies.

The Black Bird
This is something I'm working on for fun and I'm not super great at writing so I apologize if some parts of this story comes off as iffy. The cover photo will definitely be changed at a later date so please, bear with me for a little. All art depicted on covers is all accredited to a friend of mine. It appeared suddenly without warning. There was no sign of it anywhere, it just appeared. No species on any world was prepared for it nor the chaos it brought. Its appearance was something miraculous, it healed the sick and blind, it awoke those in comas. As if it wanted everything to witness it in all its glory. But the chaos that followed was unprecedented. It changed the terrain of the world and turned society into pure anarchy. But he survived. It deemed him, this boy, as worthy. Now he has a simple task. Make it to the top of the structure, meet with God. What will he do when he meets him? That's to be found.
Of Men and Beasts
This is a folktale concept that came to me many years back, but it was only recently that I found myself able to shape it into the kind of story that I wanted. It's a bit longer and more detailed than my other short stories, about twice as long actually, which is why I've split it into two parts. Just to provide some context, it is meant to take place in a medieval, Germanic setting, shortly before the Protestant Reformation when religious fervor was at an all-time high. I really hope you all enjoy this as it took quite a lot of work to finally write down. Feedback welcomed and encouraged as always!Complete
