{Book One of The Echoes Saga}
Elias Thorne is just trying to survive high school. The nightmares, vivid and terrifying visions of ancient battles and a fall from unimaginable heights, started at sixteen, but he's convinced they're just stress-induced night terrors. Then he meets Liam O'Connell. Star quarterback, golden boy, everything Elias isn't - and everything Elias finds himself irrevocably drawn to from the moment their eyes meet.
Their connection is immediate, electric, a quiet revolution in the sterile halls of Northwood High. As Elias and Liam navigate the awkward beauty of first love, stolen glances, and shared secrets, the world outside their bubble begins to fray. The nightmares intensify, no longer confined to sleep. Shadows lengthen, strange occurrences plague their town, and a chilling presence seems to follow Elias's every move.
Demons, creatures of nightmare and malice, have escaped the pits of Hell. They hunt for the one being powerful enough to shift the cosmic balance - a fallen angel, a legendary being reborn, who holds the essence of creation within his human form. They hunt Elias.
As Elias's hidden power stirs, responding instinctively to the rising darkness and his desperate need to protect the boy he loves, his human life unravels. His angelic nature begins to surface, terrifying and uncontrollable. Liam, the center of Elias's fragile world, becomes the demons' primary target. Elias must confront the terrifying truth of his past life, the ancient war he was banished for, and the immense power awakening within him. Can he embrace the identity he buried for millennia and master his angelic magic in time to save Liam and the world he's only just begun to understand? Or will the echoes of his first fall consume them both?

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...Complete

Mermaids and Men [mlm]
It all started with a simple question: "If you could do it again... Would you? If you knew that things were going to end this way... Would you still do all of it again? Or would you run from it? Save yourself?" Such a simple question, though maybe not so simple. For when a question like that was asked... A curse was born. The story follows eighteen-year-old Nicholas Fraiser, or just Nicki for short, who moved to America from England when he was about fourteen years old. After moving around a lot because of his family's work, Nicki finally settled in a town called Phanta, where he will be finishing out his senior year. Phanta is a beautiful seaside town, surrounded by the ocean, though a silhouette of an island can very faintly be seen out in the distance. This island holds many secrets and tragedies that Nicki will soon be aware of. Tragedies he may have at one point been a part of. There's something more to Nicki than he realizes. Little does he know, moving to Phanta and meeting three girls was just another step of setting history repeating back in motion. Though... This was set in stone from the very beginning-- from the moment Nicki was born into this world. A path was already laid out in front of him. "You've fought long and hard. I think it's high time you rest. You deserve to. I know you're tired."Complete![Mad God's Love [Dark, enemies-to-lovers BL]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/363108776-256-k220904.jpg)
Mad God's Love [Dark, enemies-to-lovers BL]
All he wanted was to disappear. What he found wouldn't let him go. Humanity clings to survival in fortified cities, learning to live beside the horrors that slipped in from another plane. Monsters now walk freely among the ruins of the old civilisation. For a runaway boy scraping by on the streets, danger is nothing new. Hunted by violent men and ignored by a society too busy surviving, he's learned to trust no one. But when he crosses paths with a strange, otherworldly being - one unlike any he's seen before - his life takes a turn for the surreal. The creature is powerful, unpredictable, and completely alien in thought. It breaks boundaries as easily as bodies, and the boy wants nothing more than to be rid of it. But fate - or an unbreakable, incomprehensible will - keeps pulling them together. As tension builds and an uneasy bond begins to form, a far greater danger looms. And it's not from the monsters outside the walls.
