{ #3 } Twisted Moon (MxM || 18+) by Snape75

My soul is twisted. My past is twisted. "A lifetime of consumption, They've all become the same, I punish them for pleasure, And pleasure some with pain. I punish you with pleasure, And pleasure you with pain" Thirty Seconds To Mars - End Of All Days "I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you But with the beast inside There's nowhere we can hide [...] When you feel my heat Look into my eyes It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide Don't get too close It's dark inside It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide" Imagine Dragons - Demons

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

Beneath The Surface: Book Two by rainxroses

"After every time I had wasted on someone who didn't matter, you came along and didn't even touch me. You didn't hold my hand, kiss me or even give me high fives. I'd just watch you from afar, falling more and more in love with what I saw. I couldn't care less about not touching you. All I cared about was if you were safe. And I've found that that is what love truly is and truly should be." (Updates every Wednesday and Saturday!)

I'm Sorry (Watty Nominated 2019) by GirlsDeadMonsterxx

"I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for being so emotional all the time. I'm sorry for hurting myself the way i do. I'm sorry for pushing everyone away. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for making you hate me. I'm sorry for being here. I'm sorry for existing. I'm sorry for being the way i am. I'm sorry for being me." Amelia Cunningham. Epitome of Social Outcast. No friends. Just her trusty diary and occasional panic attacks. She is the perfect student, perfect daughter. She smiles like the sun shines down just for her, but nobody knows how broken she really is. Nobody sees the cracks and cuts beneath the beautiful facade she puts up. Nobody but Nikolai. And he might just be able to save her from herself. Because he believes that he's been given a second chance to save someone like her for a reason. And he would make sure he saves her no matter what.

My Shattered Soul by MyGhostWritersADoll

Alex is a 17-year-old girl recovering from a recent near-death experience. She's been forced into a strange new world where she discovers that the age-old folktales and myths of magical creatures are actually true, though not quite as accurate as she would have thought. These creatures live among us, and as a newly- changed vampire, she is now one of them. Alex has always struggled with depression, neglect, and isolation that have defined her identity, and now make it difficult for her to ever feel "normal." She makes friends with other magical beings that give her the strength to face her inner demons and provide her with a sense of belonging and the willpower she may need to face off against a group of political extremists from shifting the balance of humanity. Should she fail, humanity's existence will be in jeopardy and she could be lost forever.

Huérfana by River_bed

This is my first time writing a story which has some mention of self harm and the lgbtq community. It is my first try without my father's guidance. It may has some grammatical errors so feel free to point them out as it will help to correct them. Thank you, Rose. Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4FyF0IhfWV6XWXNs7wdL85?si=4f3ef6f91fd644fe This is the playlist that Sam listens to. It holds some memories of her parents. Hope you will enjoy this along with the story.
