The Girl with No Emotions by vloria_vines

I was just thinking. I swear. But maybe my mind over thought. It's weird that everything can seem so simple, straight forward. Black and white. Two colors. So obvious. So there. Him and Her. Two people. So obvious. So there. But once you add gray, things get kind of complicated. Then you add color. And it's a wonderfully complicated bright world. She's two in one. The storm and the shade. No one ever stops to thank the storm for shading them from what's above it. What if the sun was too strong, too powerful that day and the storm came along just to protect us all from it? It was this epic battle between the two and the storm was hurting and it cased all this damage to the earth. No one thanks the storm for its sacrifice when it finally loses the battle and the sun shows its smug face. We all hate the storm for the disaster it created and praise the sun, when the storm just wanted to protect us. The storm and the shade. She's the storm and the shade. She's the chaos and the calm. Only I can't see the chaos. Not fully. She's keeping it all inside. All I see is the calm. I can tell though. I can tell there's chaos. I just can't see it. It's not so black and white. It's not a simple boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. It never was. But I like her. I do. The storm and the shade.

Runaway by michelelynnn

Everyone runs away from home at least once in their lives, whether it be a silly reason to rebel or to get away from a toxic situation. Either way, the outcome is different for everyone. Sometimes you end up back home, or a safer place. Peyton Nicole Smith lived 19 years believing she led a normal, successful, happy life. Even with all the conservative, restrictive rules she had been required to live by and abide to. It had only been the way she was raised. Peyton was so used to this lifestyle, she thought nothing of it which meant nothing was off or odd in her eyes. However, as she grew up and matured, her eyes opened and became more aware. This meant she would start to notice..... "things". Soon, life had seemed odd all of the sudden. So much so, she eventually learns the truth and escapes realizing she isn't completely safe. **TW/// Mentions of Drug use, suicide, and abuse**

A land of Sinners by BenjiRosa6

An Ol' timey story about the good old days in the west as one man cannot rest after his wife's death. filled with vengeance he tells a story of how he avenges his wife and captures its killer. Along the way, he meets his friends who share their experiences too of how it would be in the Wild West and their very own struggles. Little do they know, their extent to avenge such someone will bring out the worst of man. Each stepping being harder and harder as it progressed more in the west. Each goal getting more desperate or more drunk. Their goals were clear but was their conscience? I've had fun writing this as it uses a bit of common language but I hope you all have fun reading this as much as I did. (Preferable to read in a souther accent)

Sweet Julie Darling by BobbiNu

Teenage problems seem pretty small when you're preggers, especially when you don't know who the dad is and both potentials are chasing after your heart. Add a dark family secret to all that & you have Julie's roller coaster life. Please note: none of the content is based on or is a true story. Everything is purely imaginative.

The Troll Hunter《Norway x Reader》[✔] by pumpkin_orange020

You work as a student journalist in your third of college. You were a hardworking and dedicated student, but maybe a little but too dedicated. One day you and your group had a project to make. Fun fact that they left you on your own as they traveled to Belgium for Tomorrowland. Terrific? No. Alone you ventured off to Norway knowing only bits of the language and little knowledge about the country. Good? Somehow yes. On your way you met with a graduate from your university who lived here, but something's off. Let's trace back our thoughts back to our fairytales and see the truth.

Berwald Oxenstierna and the Road Trip From Hell by wrbunny4567

It was a normal day. But, since that's a cliche line often used before stating that the day was, in fact, not normal in the slightest, it quite obviously wasn't a normal day. So lets start again, this time without suggesting anything strange is going to happen. There's not much worse than being proven wrong, and the sentence 'It was a normal day' was asking for something unusual to happen. Fortunately, the sentence in question was not one you'd often see outside of being the start of bad fanfiction, so it was highly unlikely that a sensible man like Berwald Oxenstierna would ever say it, and since this story focuses on him, there is no point on starting with that dreaded sentence. "It was a normal day." Said Alfred F Jones, a bored american on a completely different continent to the unfortunate Berwald. "Well what did you expect?" Asked the american's twin, the equally bored but much more sensible Matthew Williams. He received a glare in response, and there the two sat for the rest of the day while nothing happened. At the exact moment Alfred said the cursed words, on a completely different continent, a Danish man with enough hair gel in his hair to keep an Italian from running away climbed into Berwald's car and ordered him to drive.
