Rac-ism
On the precipice of a potential World War III, humanity finds itself entangled in a web of its own making: escalating racial tensions, societal unrest, and a deep-seated fear of the "other." Into this volatile mix comes an unexpected element - the arrival of alien refugees, green-skinned humanoids fleeing their war-torn planet. This seemingly fantastical element serves as a potent allegory, forcing us to confront our own anxieties and prejudices regarding immigration, cultural differences, and the complexities of global conflict. The story follows the journey of a young Black girl, whose act of compassion towards a green child inadvertently sets in motion a chain of events that will reshape the course of humanity. Her simple act of sharing food becomes a symbol of hope, a stark contrast to the rising tide of xenophobia that sweeps across the globe. The UN's decision to grant asylum to the alien refugees, though seemingly humanitarian, ignites a firestorm of global opposition, highlighting the fragility of international cooperation and the ease with which fear can manipulate public opinion. But the arrival of the aliens isn't solely a tale of human prejudice; it is also a story of internal conflict within the alien race itself. A faction, choosing to remain on their war-ravaged homeworld, harbors a deep-seated hatred for humanity and plots a conquest of Earth. This creates a multi-layered conflict: not merely a battle between humans and aliens, but a war within a war, mirroring the internal divisions and ideological conflicts that plague humanity itself. This narrative explores the thin line between unity and division, the cost of prejudice, and the unwavering strength of empathy in a world teetering on the brink. It's a story that challenges us to examine our own biases, to confront the darkness within ourselves, and to choose compassion in the face of fear.Complete

Seductive Revenge
Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be. She has learnt to be strong, both physically and emotionally. She has learnt that people should never be trusted, that they'll only fuck you over with time. She has undergone trials worse than death and came out stronger than ever. And...She has set out on a mission, to destroy the two people who ruined her life. By taking away the reason her best friend betrayed her, Zaine, while also planning to shatter his heart in the process, like he shattered hers. She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.

Thorns & Oranges
Fresh off her freshman year of college, Emelina De Sota returns home for the summer. Normally coming home wouldn't be a problem but skeletons quickly start coming out of the closet faster than Em can shove them back in. It doesn't help matters when her overprotective big brother is the boss of the local Spanish Thorns. He puts her so far out of reach that she's comfortable with it at first. But when temptation is placed just down the hall from her, Em finds slipping back into old habits is easier than she originally thought. As her world rapidly starts to turn upside down, will Em choose to risk everything for a chance at the possibility of real love or will she stick with her guns and stay with her family, with what's safe? Book One in the Spanish Thorns Series ~ * ~ This story has a little bit of everything including the following in no particular order: romance, action, drug use, Adele, alcohol consumption, sex scenes, food, death threats, gang violence, street racing, bathroom breaks, medical problems, blood, singular point of view, kissing, cussing, guns, orange juice, and tattoos. This story is rated R. I struggled with this for a while, considering rating it PG-13 and placing the rather "graphic" scenes in a separate book but I believe it would take away from the story. My characters are considered adults in the eyes of the law and society and therefore do 'adult' things. For the most part, the story will be PG-13 but because I wouldn't split it, it's earned an R rating. Hope you understand.Complete

♤♧♢♡ The sky, which had been bathed in a soft red, had to be an indication that this was a real world, after all there was a sun and a moon, as well as stars. Was I still on Earth then? Or were there other planets that had the same orbit? What should I do now? Should I wait for something to happen? Would that eventually wake me up? Or should I keep moving to find an answer? Questions upon questions, but no answers. A lump formed in my throat, and I had to swallow it. The sour aftertaste remained. The nausea had been with me all afternoon and didn't seem to let go of me even now, even though I had already eaten and drunk something. I turned away from the window and stared at the photo wall that Mom had put up for us on my fourteenth birthday. It was filled with memories of everything I never wanted to forget. I wanted more photos to be added, after all, my story was far from over. But would I ever go back to fulfill that wish? Now, I didn't believe such a reunion would happen. ♤♧♢♡ Based on the Alice in Borderland series by Netflix and the manga series by Haro Aso. This is a slow burn fanfiction. The story contains violence, inappropriate language and sexual themes - read at your own risk. This story is written in the first person narrative! There will be an open-ending!

The First Fall
First of all, if a feel like ANY characteristics of this book are base off of one of your ideas, feel free to take some credit or something, but it's still MY story, not yours. This is my first book and I don't want get in trouble with anyone. Also, please don't judge me TOO harshly, I just wanted to have some fun and write a book. Don't blame me if you find it a little cliché. I also wrote all of it on my iPad. (Tasha, Chloe, and Alexis are al based off my friends in real life, but Emalisa IS NOT based of me (they got it in their heads that she is)) Emalisa Uldweyna Ra'naa Truesa has had a VERY rough past. What happened, you'll have to read the book. Jaxon Udolf Samuel Tonalay, on the other hand, has a great life. His mother's a chef at a restaurant, which his family owns, his sister goes to the college where his dad's the head dean, and him and his younger twin siblings have amazing grades in school. What'll happen when Emalisa un expectantly falls on Jaxon? He becomes undeniably interested with and in her. Emalisa feels a connection too, but is scared to react on it. The fact that their friends undeniably are head over heels for another doesn't help their situation and provides endless things to tease one another about. So please do read. If you think I should add something more to the description, feel free to tell me, but you have to read the book first! ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!!!!!!!! It could possibly be triggering later on, so I don't suggest reading it if life's been particularly shitty to you about some things. SERIOUSLY!!!!!Complete
