Newt's life is a quiet storm of isolation and monotony, defined by days spent avoiding people and nights battling his own thoughts. But when a strange voice begins narrating his every action, thought, and emotion, Newt's fragile sense of reality unravels. The voice is omnipresent, omniscient, and inescapable leaving him no moment of peace. As Newt struggles to reclaim control over his own mind, he begins to question: Is he truly the author of his life, or just another character in a story already written?
Blending psychological suspense with existential humor, Self in the Story is a gripping journey through the surreal and the deeply human-a tale where breaking the fourth wall is only the beginning.

He has only ever written one book - and he's never been able to write another. When he discovers an old manuscript in his office, he assumes it's just another abandoned idea.

Then, it starts predicting his actions before they happen. Reality blurs. Memories shifts. And the deeper he reads, the more the world him begins to unravel.Complete

The Runaway Weasley
People think they know you by what they see, they believe that what is shown on the outside is a reflection of what is on the inside, but they're wrong. Things can be much darker then the candy skin you see on the outside, the happy mask you come to know so well is just hiding the left overs of a broken, beaten, sad and lonely girl. Family, friends, people you have given so much trust just leaves you to fight for your own, never looking back on the girl they betrayed. Life is not full of happy families and butterflies, life is hard and unfair, it can kill you off if it wanted to and beat you down even more for the fun of it all.Complete
Bound by Soul
Warning! This story contains repeated mentions of self harm, occasional attempted suicide, and Blood. No in depth descriptions, but now you know what you're getting into, you may proceed. When life is meaningless, and death rejects you, there is nowhere to turn. Harry Potter didn't expect much for his birthday. He didn't expect anything. The Dursley's never cared, why would they now? Harry was nine, and there was one birthday gift he could give himself; Freedom. The only problem; he was 'saved', and promptly sequestered in the smallest bedroom, which had been cleared of any and all potentially dangerous objects. Just his luck, the wizarding world was expecting him, and his head of house is reluctantly growing deeply concerned for him. But really, who said the 'Boy-who-Lived' had to want to? Disclaimer; y'all know. Don't own. Yadda yadda.

Redemption Reserved for Superheros
(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.Complete
That Night.
That night. The night that changed everything. I can't breath as I run. Where to was a mystery to me. All I know, is that Dumbledore is not on my side, that I am just a tool. 'I can't go back,' I thought. 'He's going to send me back.' I grip my arm, which was bloody, open wounds covering it, and continued to run until I run into someone. "Oh Merlin, I sorry, I have too-" "Potter?" I look up, and almost faint when I see the Potions master towering above me. TW: Rape, suicide, self harm, and abuse. NOT SNARRY! HARRY IS THIRTEEN/FOURTEEN IN THIS FIC! PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS SNARRY!!!!!! Do not repost on any other website/account without my permission.Complete
