Maxwell Anderson is seventeen, sharp-tongued, and silent about the things that matter. After surviving a traumatic event that fractured her world and sense of self, she's left navigating the ruins - grief, guilt, flashbacks, and a mind that won't let her rest. Her days are filled with empty stares in crowded classrooms, nights haunted by memories she can't outrun, and people who think she's just "going through a phase."
As her past claws its way to the surface, Max is forced to decide: will she keep running from the darkness, or will she finally turn around and face it?

Bound to take your life~ (Isadora Capri)
Lyra has spent the last summer haunted by her own mistake the night her hunger almost cost her roommate's life. Being a vampire at Nevermore was never simple, but after that accident she's more guarded than ever, terrified of losing control again.

But with desire comes danger, and Lyra knows better than anyone how thin the line is between craving someone and destroying them. (This isn't a slow burn at all, even if I know yall would probably prefer it that way. It's all very primal and based on strong instinctual feelings as werewolves and vampires have strong instincts. It just makes more sense to you, up to you to read or not. <3) ~.•*•.~ Warnings : violence, blood, sex, bold statements, mention of ptsd, childhood trauma, self harm, mental and physical health, reflect ect... If you're triggered by anything said above please do not read. Stay safe <3 ~.•*•.~ Honest note : I often use chatgpt to help me phrase my sentences correctly or to correct my chapters when done. English isn't my first language and I want the fanfic to be as beautiful and poetic to read. But I also wanna be honest with my readers, I hope you'll have a good time reading. <3

Ms Capri
Chloe doesn't believe in second chances. Not at Nevermore Academy, not in life, and definitely not for herself. She's eighteen, restless, and drowning in habits she doesn't talk about out loud. Then there's Ms. Isadora Caprii. Thirty-eight, unshakably composed, a music teacher whose hands can turn silence into something that hurts to listen to. She's strict, elegant, and leaves no room for excuses - but beneath the precision, there's a kind of warmth Chloe doesn't know what to do with. What starts as stolen glances and sharp words in class slowly twists into something heavier. Something dangerous. Something that makes Chloe wonder if maybe, just maybe, she isn't as hopeless as she thought. A slow-burn obsession where every note lingers too long, every lesson feels too close, and the line between discipline and desire blurs like smoke.

Maxwell Opel: University of Feelings
Attention: NOT A LOVE STORY; rather, a joke! All characters are 18+: Maxwell Opel was a prodigy-awkward, brilliant, and barely holding himself together. He knew chemistry better than people, formulas better than friends. But when a mysterious lab accident during a school cruise unleashes a chain reaction of trauma, memory loss, and buried feelings, Maxwell wakes up with no recollection of who he is... only the haunting knowledge that someone once meant everything to him. Surrounded by classmates he doesn't recognize, stalked by echoes of a past he can't grasp, Maxwell begins to rebuild himself from the chemical residue of who he used to be. Among those helping him: Sam, the soft-spoken friend who might be something more; Falk, the chaotic heart slowly growing up; Lando, the unbothered genius cracked open by grief; and Mr. Roth-Maxwell's former chemistry professor, protector, and the man whose presence feels dangerously like home. But just as Maxwell begins to remember, their world sinks-literally. When disaster strikes at sea, Maxwell and his classmates must fight to survive as the ship tears apart around them. Bonds are tested, secrets surface, and lives are lost. As flames consume the ballroom and the sea rises around him, Maxwell will be forced to choose who he is, who he loves, and who he's willing to lose forever. A poetic, tragic coming-of-age romance set against the backdrop of fire, saltwater, and starlight, University Feelings is a story of memory, found family, and the price of love in its most volatile form. Because sometimes, the strongest reactions... are the ones that break you.Complete
