Wolfwood has long since come to terms with the fact that there is no god. There is simply no other explanation for the atrocities he is subjected to day in and day out. The Bible passages the preacher used to share at the orphanage may as well have been fairytales for all the relevance they've had to his short and miserable life. That is until the good begins to reveal itself to him. And once he begins seeing it, he can't look away.
Maybe there's more to this life than he thought.

Reading is Fundamental
This was officially the most uncomfortable day of Percy's life. ----- "Percy, I don't know what happened to you when you were young, but denying that it ever happened isn't the answer." It'd worked pretty well for him so far. "Who said anything about denying it?" he asked. The look Apollo gave him felt almost parental. He pointed in the direction of the throne room. "How many of them know about any of this?" he asked. The demigod shifted uncomfortably. "None." "Exactly." "Really?" Will asked. "Not even Annabeth?" Percy shrugged. "Look, those bruises don't come from nowhere," Apollo said. "Whatever happened to you had to have been serious." "It was. It was messed up," Will interrupted, laughing darkly. Percy shot him a glare. They were supposed to be playing this down, not making it worse. ------ "What," Percy scoffed, "and I'm just supposed to trust you?" ++You don't have a choice. A magic talking book with all your secrets written out like a YA novel appears and starts ordering you around, and you're not going to listen to it?++ To that, he didn't have an answer. ++Kid, I am your god++ Percy deadpanned. "You're a book," he corrected. Annabeth gave him a look. "Don't patronize them," she whispered. ------ I took the reading the books trope and gave it a little fine wine with its dinner. Time to grow up, kid. Streching of canon. Warning: Crass language used, discussion of child abuse physical & sexual, mentions of drug use, mentions of underage drug use.

The Healer [DISCONTINUED]
Grew up without parents, bullied by her half-sister since childhood, emotionally ignored by her family members all her life, Akshara Goenka had enough on her shoulders. Then the betrayal by her boyfriend proved to be the last nail in the coffin and she decided to end her misery once and for all. ~ [Trigger Warnings : Heavy angst, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempting, therapy sessions, non-cooperative character in therapy, etc.] *** Started : April 15, 2023Complete
Divine Retribution
Trigger warning: very descriptive scenes of Gore and death('s plural) continue at your own risk, I don't put trigger warnings on most chapters. It's not that I don't care, it's aesthetically unpleasant and takes away from the experience. IMO. (Story inspired by the popular indie game Cult Of The Lamb) Lazarus is the last of her kind. Her people once lived quietly in the shadows of the Old Faith-until the Bishops hunted them to extinction. Alone and broken, Lazarus finds herself bound by a fate she never sought: a deal with a mysterious feline figure who grants her life... at a cost. To repay this gift, she must build a cult in his name, wielding powers she doesn't want for a god she doesn't understand. But there's a problem: Lambs don't believe in cults, nor does she. Awkwardly stumbling through rituals, mimicking the actions of others, she fakes her way through leadership. To them, she's their shepherd. To herself, a fraud. As the weight of her pact presses down on her, the haunting memory of her species' slaughter grows sharper. Slowly, she realizes his borrowed power could be more than just a means to serve-it could be a weapon. A weapon for vengeance.

The Stampede ~Vash x OC AU~
~Vash x OC AU~ Book 1 of 3 *Began: Monday, January 1, 2024* *Finished: Wednesday, April 10, 2024* Sometimes... Sometimes I have nightmares. Nightmares that I wake from in the middle of the night, sweat clingy to my brow as my chest heaves. Nightmares with ghosts and the haunting memories of their voices calling my name. Nightmares that were dreams once upon a time ago. A long time ago. Nightmares of shooting stars made of ship debris falling from the sky. Nightmares of screaming sirens and pounding feet and flashing red lights. Nightmares of tears rolling down her cheeks and the way fire consumed her as she sent us away. And then nightmares of him laughing as hell rain down around us. I wonder if she has nightmares, too. **NOTE: I do NOT own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or any characters (other than the OC - and other OC characters) in this book.

Shooting Star
Thyme didn't know what real pain was, not really, not until he became the head of his family. The young man thought that after everything he had gone through in his reckless teen years, nothing could hurt him anymore. He got beat up to an inch of his life, he got deceived and manipulated by his own mother, he got heartbroken more than once by the love of his life, he got stabbed and lost his memories. That would be enough to harden a man .... Right? Yeah .... Right. He hadn't known real pain until Gorya's college graduation week and that cruel man's return into his life. It proved him wrong in a million one different ways. He had known for a long time he would do the impossible to protect his family, even bring back the worst parts of himself he worked so hard to suppress. He would be the Thyme Gorya hated and feared. He would be Thyme who his sister tried to course correct. That was all but a small price to pay to protect them. They said the devil doesn't bargain.. Good.
The Typhoon ~Vash x OC AU~
~Vash x OC AU~ Book 3 of 3 *Began: Monday, August 19, 2024* *Finished: Monday, January 13, 2025* Sometimes... Sometimes nightmares are pieces of the past that come back to haunt you. Ghosts that cling to your skin, digging their nails into your flesh. It is a white-hot pain that surges through you. Memories that you want to forget but can't. It is hell. And sometimes nightmares are pieces of a fear not yet realized. Shadows that bare their teeth, ready to bury their fangs in your flesh. It is a deep and hollow pain that leaves you numb. Dread that sickens you. It is hell. It is all hell. **NOTE: I do NOT own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or any characters (other than the OC - and other OC characters) in this book.

Nightmares that I wake from in the middle of the night, sweat-soaked hair clinging to my neck as my chest heaves. Nightmares with unknown ghosts and the haunting shrieks ripping through darkness. Nightmares that are so real that I almost believe they are real. They are never real, though. Nightmares of shooting stars made of fallen debris crumbling from a tower. Nightmares of screaming sirens and pounding feet and flashing red lights as military police fill the streets. Nightmares of tears drenching my cheeks as I scream out into the void. And then nightmares of him laughing as hell rain down around us.
