London, 1867.
Louis Egerton is a young man who, despite his "madness", has known a stable, secure life in his family's mansion.
Somewhere, time does not exist.
Louis finds himself at the hands of an unreliable psychiatrist with questionable motives in a hostile mental institution where patients are treated no better than breeding livestock.
While plotting his escape, Louis finds a companion whom he is not quite sure he can trust, as many of his secrets are revealed along their way of being on the run from the asylum, the police, and their own demons.

I'm Fine || l.s. ✓
I wrote this when I was like 15 so it's awful and horribly inaccurate regarding lots of stuff and the characters are really, really annoying. If it didn't have so many reads and votes and that I would delete it. PLEASE, if you want something with better writing and still full of angst, look at my other fics instead (Tempest is my fav) // Harry is upset, he just wants someone to care about him but he keeps pushing everyone away. Despite being packed tightly in a tour bus with the rest of the band, he still manages to avoid them. The boys begin to worry, Louis especially. // PSSST, i think my other stories are better!

The Diary of Tomorrow
SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/hPXh35A What if you could read tomorrow's events today? When Ethan Carter, a skeptical freelance journalist, stumbles upon an old, leather-bound diary hidden in his attic, he thinks it's nothing more than an heirloom from his late grandmother. But when the pages start filling themselves with entries-describing his future in unsettling detail-Ethan's world tilts into nightmare territory. At first, the diary seems harmless, even helpful. It predicts small events: a spilled coffee, a forgotten phone call. But as Ethan follows its entries, the predictions grow darker... and deadlier. Each page drags him deeper into a chilling reality where time bends, shadows move when they shouldn't, and a sinister entity watches from the corners of his vision. When a cryptic stranger warns him to burn the book before it's too late, Ethan hesitates. The more he reads, the harder it is to stop. His best friend Harper tries to pull him back, but when the diary predicts her death, she begins to fear him as much as the book itself. Now, Ethan is trapped in a horrifying paradox-does he obey the diary and risk becoming its pawn, or defy it and face the unknown consequences? As the final entry begins to write itself, one truth becomes clear: The story was never his to tell. He was always part of it. Fans of The Silent Patient and The House of Leaves will be riveted by this psychological thriller infused with supernatural horror. Can you trust your own fate when it's already written?Complete

It's in the name. These are probably badly written with cliche plot lines but you might enjoy them and I do take requests. Some will be angst, some fluff. I will do my best to include proper trigger warnings and I hope you are entertained by these stories. All these characters are created by the amazing Thomas Sanders unless specified. I hope you enjoy. #2 Anxceit 28/05/20 #1 Dukexiety 31/10/20 #7 Moceit 26/08/21 #2 PattonSanders 23/08/22Complete

It's Cold Upstairs | ✔
Who are you, really, when your own memories may not serve you? When the 'you' of just a year ago is a stranger to you today? When your own psyche blurs the lines between complex and insane? Two people, three minds, and an unresolved mystery converge between the pages of a decade-old notebook. What happens next proves that identity and self are ephemeral concepts, and that murder does not always leave a body. ❖❖❖ Content Warning: This book contains dark themes and depictions of psychological distress that may be disturbing to some readers.
