      In a world where fears manifest as superpowers, society is divided between the powerful "Fearborne" and the powerless "Fearless." The government tightly controls these abilities, assigning roles and exploiting powers for its own gain. Ashford Steele, known as Jinx, is a Fearborne whose Dissociative Identity Disorder  shapes her unique relationship with her powers. Each of her alters-distinct identities within her-brings their own strengths and perspectives, making her one of the most versatile and unpredictable supers in the system.

     As Ash navigates a society that glorifies superpowers while exploiting those who wield them, she struggles to balance the expectations placed upon her with the voices of her alters, each offering guidance, conflict, and strength. 

      Joining CivGuard, a division tasked with maintaining peace, Ash begins to uncover the dark truths behind the system she serves. From the stark inequalities between Fearborne and Fearless to the government's ruthless exploitation of powers, Ash's journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and the search for true heroism.

      As they work together-or at times, against each other-she must decide whether to uphold the corrupt system or fight for a future where fear no longer dictates destiny.

GRAYWORLD - The Lost Grayling (Book 1) by Coisa_fay
19 parts Complete
Gray isn't a color. It's a thief. It steals memories, leaches vibrancy, and muffles screams in the chilling reality known as GrayWorld. For fifteen-year-old Kai, grieving his mother, arrival isn't a choice - it's an abduction into a place where time corrodes the self. Here, newcomers, Graylings, find their identities fading like breath on a cold mirror, their bodies subject to arbitrary, horrifying transformations: shrink into nothingness or expand until you burst. Forget the sun. Forget warmth. Forget who you are. The metallic taste of the lavish food only accelerates the Fade. Asking questions invites punishment. Survival means clinging to fragile anchors - a stopped pocket watch, a fraying photograph - while navigating a landscape of endless gray corridors, lurking Drifters who hunger for warmth, and warring Copies split into hunted Blacks and ruling Whites. When Kai witnesses the chilling "mercy" of the Butcher, a White copy who harvests souls, he's pulled into the shadows by Silas, a haunted Black copy bearing the weight of sacrifice. Finding refuge in a derelict farm hiding an impossible secret - a subterranean garden pulsing with ghostly light - Kai must ally with the cynical, scarred survivor Jax to unravel the secrets of GrayWorld's brutal Karma system and the nature of the unseen Arbiter who rules from his Tower of Bone. But in a world designed to erase you, can Kai hold onto his memories, his identity, his very soul? Can he trust his allies when survival demands impossible choices? And what happens when the deepest corruption isn't just in the ruling powers, but potentially within the very fabric of reality... and himself? Dive into the first volume of an epic dark fantasy series that blends psychological horror with intricate world-building. "GRAYWORLD" is a visceral, mind-altering journey into a reality where memory is currency, identity is fragile, and survival demands a confrontation with the shadows within and without.

7 parts Ongoing Mature

Nova was sharp, untouchable-until shimmer got its hooks in. Now she's drying out under lock and key, hidden beneath the Last Drop in a room still haunted by Jinx's old drawings. The cravings burn. The shame bites. Her mind, once her weapon, cuts inward. Silco watches. Jinx spirals. And Nova? She's trying to survive herself. Recovery in Zaun isn't gentle. And staying clean might be the hardest job she's ever pulled. For orientation: Consider this a timeline of its own, starting about a year before the time skip. We'll catch up to the main events of Seasons 1 and 2 eventually. Will be updated twice a week! ♡
