COMPLETE! The Sequel: A Different Kind of Despair, is now UP AND RUNNING!
I see myself as a gentle soul. I like sunlight, warm air, and gardens; secrets that I'll need to take to the grave. I was born to Nethermount, an underground city situated deep beneath the Howling Desert, heir to House Thanos, one of six infamous clans that has the nerve to call this place home.
Recently, my mother gave me an ultimatum, which now leaves me in a rather precarious situation.
My name is Marvin.
I suffer from acute necrophobia.
And I have thirty days to become a necromancer, or else I am very, VERY undead.

Devil Beside You: A Tale of Dark and Light
Speak to and see the dead? Raise Zombies from their graves? Summon demons from the depths of Hell? You might just be a Necromancer like me. Hopefully you aren't caught up in something that's way over your head though. I certainly am. Oh, and I really do hope you don't have an Incubus as your constant companion. Especially not an overprotective and moody one. He can be quite the pain...but he's the only friend and ally I have, even if we're only together because of a contract that was forced upon us. What's that contract? Oh, we have to participate in an ancient war. Lovely right?Complete

Brought Back
Marvin doesn't know how to exist anymore after Jackie dies. So he decides to preform necromancy, and brings Jackie back. Marvin knows that Jackie can never know what he'd done, there's nothing but lies. Slight TW: Death Depression Blood (lots and lots of blood) Drowning Lots of angst ----- This comes from a few short stories I wrote for Egotober and thought would make a good story. I wrote all of this in the month of November for Nanowrimo (national novel writing month) with a total word count of over 31,000. I've made a playlist for this story, you can access it through this link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Pm7NX8sy0bCw9zR7qh2o7?si=81bc6c90d27b4ac7 There will be something at the top of each chapter telling you which songs go to which chapter, I did my best to match up each song with the chapter, but they also all work with the story, if you're on mobile.

Reaper's Pet
"I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉."

The Risks

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
