Okay, here's the deal: Each chapter in this story is inspired by a different flock member's suggestion. I asked them to come up with a genre and prompt without knowing what the previous chapters were like. The result? Pure chaos. The chapters can be read as standalone stories or as one big narrative, but with a hilariously unreliable narrator. If I manage to make this story flow smoothly, I deserve an award, honestly. Anyways, happy 2nd anniversary, Acturos. Hope you enjoy this wild ride of a storyAll Rights Reserved

Between Sin and Ruin by Lovecrafttragics

I was raised to obey. Polished. Perfect. Promised. When my father ordered me to marry the heir to one of the Dominion's ruling families, I understood exactly what it meant. Power traded for peace, my freedom bartered for his empire. My new husband wasn't the monster I expected. He was patient, careful, and treated me with nothing but respect. It didn't take long for me to fall in love. I thought it was mutual. Then the truth unraveled, and I learned another woman still whispered his name in the dark. But I was never meant to be a quiet tragedy. When the truth broke me, I didn't stay broken. I made sure I was the one they whispered about next.

Proxies X Fem Reader ~~~ Oh blood, oh blood Why must you bleed? Oh blood, oh blood Why must I feast? Oh blood, oh blood, Why can I never find an never ending course..? Zalgo, he is my operator. I am his proxy. Though I hate being controlled, I can't help but listen. I owe him. I'd much rather have to hunt for my food than have him hand it to me every time he gets what he wants. I don't want to be his proxy, I despise it. I even despise the feuds he has with Slender Man and his brothers as there is no point to them. No point in having me fight them. Such a waste of time. Such a waste of my hunger. That is till one day, during a lock down from another one of Zalgos feuds with Slender, something strange happened.

The leader of the group was a handsome 20 year old, Lye vendetta, fiance of the most gorgeous girl anyone could ever lay eyes on, Callisto Azrail. Together they dominated and ruled, having power over many, however they were missing one thing. Her. They met online, day after day their obsession for each other growing stronger and stronger. However when Allia finally decides to run away on her 16th birthday, and the group decide they will protect her with everything they have, one small issue arises. The protection given comes with a load of power. Will she be able to handle it? Nothing and no one can tell apart from destiny. Both positive and negative feedback is appreciated! Small and big!

The Chase (Enhypen X Hearts2Hearts au) by llowness

They were raised as weapons - seven boys and eight girls forged in the same underground hell, trained to be shadows, tools, killers. When the system burned, they split: ENHYPEN chose the law. Hearts2Hearts chose the underworld. Now, years later, they're on opposite sides of the same war - cops and criminals, brothers and sisters, ghosts chasing each other through bloodstained streets. But this isn't about justice. It's about power. Revenge. And the scars they left on each other. Because in this city, nothing runs deeper than family - except the wounds they gave each other.

Shattered by QuietV0ic4

"Now, would I go to prison and atone for my sins? Yes, but I cannot. No matter how hard I've tried." ----- "I swear, I'm not crazy! I just...don't know if the truth is better than a lie." ----- "We're better off dead, aren't we?" "...Yeah, we are." "Good." ----- "What's the point in living when you're built without a purpose?" ----- "Deities, gods, whatever you call them, are nothing more than puppets; cruel, unforgivable puppets drenched in the blood of the very people they were supposed to protect." ----- "We've lived a thousand lives, and we were built for only one purpose; for if we weren't, then what right do we have to exist if not to live for solely that purpose? For their entertainment." ----- "We may be without muzzles, but we're still on a leash. Don't forget that." ----- "You lied to me, and that's how all this came to be." ----- To those who find themselves reading this, know that appearances will deceive you. So, until you're safe from them as well, trust everyone fragilely and have your loyalty lie with you, and you alone. (Book one) -Nyxe

Packless by ieatassonthedaily

(On hiatus) In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown

Bloodline of Shadows by koi11223311

Born the youngest of twelve powerful brothers, you were destined to inherit a legacy greater than all of them chosen as heir not by age, but by the ancient powers flowing through your veins. But fate was cruel. Stolen away as a child, your body was poisoned, your mind fractured, and your power suppressed. For years, you were lost, a missing prince hidden in shadows. Now found again, you return to a family torn between fierce protectiveness and their own dangerous instincts. Some test your strength. Others guard your fragile stability. And within you, not one voice, but many linger: echoes of cruelty, scars of pain, and something darker born in captivity. Every day becomes a battle not just against your brothers' challenges, but against the selves inside you, desperate to surface. Yet amidst the chaos, bonds begin to form, and trust slowly grows. With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.
