When a predator targets a lonely young girl, eight strangers can either fight to stop him, or face the wrath of the spirit that tied their fates together.

Is life a series of random events, or are we all connected by invisible threads of fate? Well, in the town of Gossamer Loom, the answer is complicated... and also pretty disturbing. Local legend speaks of the Weaver, a wild spirit that threads the lives of the townsfolk together. Once you pass through Gossamer Loom, your fate becomes a thread in her tapestry. Her "web." 

And when a lonely young girl meets a dangerous man at the edge of town, she and seven others are suddenly drawn into the Weaver's web, connected by nightmares and uncanny coincidences that pull them into each other's lives. As their bond grows, the Octagon is formed. Leslie, Josiah, Ivy, Coop, Willy, Jane, Eli, and Caroline will either accept their fates, or suffer the dire consequences of denying the Mother of the Spiders. 

Octagon has eight parts, called "threads," and there are eight chapters per thread (64 chapters total). Each chapter in Octagon has a corresponding "Formation Song." That is, each chapter has a corresponding song that I listened to for inspiration as I wrote it. The songs are listed at the top of each thread.

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn} by Run-Dont-Walk

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

Forgotten Wolf by Siberiantiggy
55 parts Complete Mature
A battle-scarred Alpha and a broken woman with hidden wounds are fate-bound-but she wants nothing to do with him. As danger looms and tempers flare, he'll have to find a way to break down her walls before it's too late. *** Scars...some are worn on the outside and read like a book, others are hidden on the inside, unseen but shape every fabric of our being. Alpha Chris has his share of scars. He wears them like badges of honour, having earned them protecting his pack. Jess carries hers on the inside, a collection of secret shame... After Jess breaks free of an abusive ex, she goes home to her farm in the remote countryside to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She tries to bury her trauma and move on, determined not to let anyone get too close again. Chris has given up on finding his mate and focuses all of his energy on his pack, growing colder and more distant with every passing year. Just when he least expects it, she falls into his lap, smelling like his best friend and wanting nothing to do with him. What happens when a battle-hardened Alpha who is used to getting his way comes up against a stubborn woman set on walling herself from everyone? More than brute strength is needed to break through those walls and reach her. When hidden enemies threaten both their lives, will he be able to reach his Goddess-given gift in time? Or will pride and tempers ruin their last chance at happiness? The Moon Goddess has a plan that neither understands. *** BOOK 1 OF THE FORGOTTEN WOLF SERIES

I recommend reading the first two parts before this! After only two weeks into the anthro takeover, things have gone right and wrong on both sides. Emma, Cody, Eric, and many more human and engine survivors have fought to escape to a safe haven within the Biltmore estate and village in North Carolina. However, with tension between new and old faces slowly arising, everyone will inevitably have to face the war in order to survive, or at least make it out while staying themselves, physically and mentally. Meanwhile, on the opposite side, June and her friends and family just fighting to stay alive slowly begin to realize they're more important than they think. As not long after, they're forced back into battle to help continue their part in bringing about the end of the human race. However, many don't realize at first that they have more in common than they think. All they know is that many of those they've been acquainted with will likely make it out alive or as themselves. Now it's up to them to partner with their new and old friends and equate one another as allies against powerful forces in order to protect themselves, and all they ever cared about before it's too late. Inspired by the works of: TidmouthThunderbolt/_Frogz Shanks Sodor Fallout Studios Lucat_here ChloeTgTf Truck_of_Tar ThomasProductions2019 Tines Sensathe PATBP The Duffer Brothers (And many more YouTube and Wattpad creators, this list is longer than I remember and I don't want to let it take up the description, please forgive me I ran out of allowed characters) Warning: This story contains mature themes such as swearing, death, themes of war, gore depictions, highly racist actions and symbolism, and more. I recommend you be 13 years or older to read this story. ALSO, DO NOT STEAL ANY OF THE OC CHARACTERS (but I do confess that there are some characters that I don't own and I'd like to apologize to those owners that I didn't credit you all😬). Enjoy the third part of the ROTPOTA series!
The Witch's Mates by AliciaAnn24
36 parts Complete Mature
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape. Please do not read if you feel uncomfortable with any of these things or if you feel they will be harmful to your mental health.

Dear readers, Allow me to invite you on an introspective journey, an exploration of the intricacies of destiny as I perceive it, not only in my own existence but also through the prism of the characters that populate my creative universe. Destiny, this mysterious force that sometimes seems to guide our steps, takes multiple and changing forms in my mind. It is not a single, predetermined path, but rather a complex interweaving of choices, chances, and necessities. For me, the destiny of each person, whether real or fictional, is like a perpetually evolving tapestry. Each thread represents a decision, an encounter, an unforeseen event. Some threads are thick and solid, forged by our will and deliberate actions. Others are thin, almost invisible, woven by circumstances beyond our control. In the following lines, I invite you to discover how this vision of destiny manifests in my life and in that of my characters. You will see how each decision, each trial, each triumph contributes to weaving a unique and unpredictable story. Prepare to dive into a narrative where reality and fiction intertwine, where destiny is not an end in itself, but a constantly evolving path. Let me tell you how I perceive my own destiny, as well as that of the beings born from my imagination... In a world where supernatural powers shape society, destiny brings together an unlikely group of individuals on a history-laden bridge. Slenth, a young man tormented by his past, crosses paths with Jokash, a powerless colossus, Shalan, a healer whose gifts consume her, Léonen, a man on the brink of suicide, and Ritchard, an object manipulator with mysterious intentions. Their encounter, orchestrated by the invisible threads of destiny, will lead them towards extremely dangerous adventures.
The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!
