Never Fully Awake
She wakes up in a house that isn't hers. The rooms shift. The shadows move. And something is always watching.

The Backrooms: Essence of Desolation
Once, the world still meant something. People weren't hollow strangers, trust wasn't a cruel illusion, and freedom flowed as freely as water. Now drinkable water is scarce-and freedom even scarcer. Every step forward costs more than I can give, yet I keep moving, even when surrendering to the endless night would be easier. Why do I keep pressing on through these familiar alleys and shadowed corridors, where only death or desolation waits? Why am I carving these words into the crumbling face of an old concrete wall? When did my hand turn black? And how long ago did it become too late to turn back? ---------------------------- Yoooooo! What's up liminal lovers and clinical schizos! This is a rewrite of a story I made in the past that will likely have a different plot and generally be a thousand times better! Thanks to @_pepperleaf for being my amazing editor! Anyway enjoy the story, Love you guys! -LiminalOne
To Look Beyond A Glance
"January Lee is the embodiment of an affair between sunlight and beauty." Her wild hair dances in the breeze like sunbeams, her energy is as bright as the midday sun, and her boundless curiosity mirrors the sun's relentless exploration of the world. "Narciso De Santis is an abstract masterpiece masquerading as chaos." At first glance, he's a whirlwind of contradictions - a man of few words. He's the quietest storm you'll ever encounter, radiating an aura of 'keep out,' yet beneath that rough exterior lies something greater. The sight of Narciso De Santis frantically dumping a blood-soaked duffel bag into her favorite spot- a secret creek in the woods- initially sent a jolt of panic through January. Dismissing it as her overactive imagination, January decides to move on. Then the whispers start - a local teen goes missing. Coincidence? Is Narciso De Santis truly a murderer? Is this a misunderstanding? Can January mind her own business?

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Where The Walls Collapse- The Horror Story
The hallway was empty. But the silence had weight. When Élyne stepped into the abandoned building, she thought it was just a dare. A hallway. A few cracked tiles. Nothing more. Until the space bent around her. Until her breath didn't feel like her own. Until she realized the walls weren't just watching - they were waiting. Now she's back in her apartment.
