Some people play with fire. Andi Hale plays with death.
When Andi Hale dies in a vending machine accident too ridiculous to explain, she figures that's the end of her tragically short (and caffeine-deprived) life.
Wrong.
Instead of an afterlife, Andi wakes up in a subway station that doesn't exist on any map, surrounded by broken clocks and bitter souls. A man in a velvet suit informs her that Death is short-staffed, and congratulations-she's been drafted. Now, if she wants a second chance at life, she'll have to become a Reaper.
Her first assignment? Reap thirteen corrupt souls.
No deadline. No details. Just a list of names and the knowledge that the Game she's now trapped in is rigged-and the clock is still ticking somewhere. She just doesn't know where.
With a scythe she doesn't know how to use, a mentor she doesn't trust, and a mouth that keeps getting her into trouble, Andi dives headfirst into a world of dying gods, violent reapers, and souls that don't go quietly.
But the deeper she gets, the clearer it becomes: the system isn't broken. It's designed to lose.
And if Andi wants to win?
She'll have to break the Game itself.

A girl named Boysenberry
I had barely made it a step when I say a man walking towards me. He too had a digital clock thing on top of his head too, except his had todays date, September 10th, and his timer read, 00:00:12. I didn’t know what to expect, but I wanted to see what happened when the clock clicked down, so I stood and watched him. 00:00:09, 00:00:08, 00:00:07, 00:00:06, 00:00:05, 00:00:04, 00:00:03, :00,00:02. I didn’t know what to assume for 00, but I watched patiently as he looked both ways and crossed the road, and then, just like clockwork, 00:00:00, and a car came speeding out of nowhere, and knocked the man down. He was dead. Somehow, between him dying and me freaking out, I had an epiphany; I saw when people were going to die. And then I officially had my first panic attack since my mom died. Boysenberry Moonchild Roxburgh is your average girl who happened to get hit by lightening, starts seeing when people are going to die, meets a soul reaper and his pissed off half brother, gets hired by death and is being constantly annoyed by a stalker black cat and her dead mother who she can now see. All while trying to finish high school and save her twin brother Liam who is going to die on their birthday. Yeah, Normal high school girl.Complete

Too Dark for you to Love
In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyouComplete
My Soul to Reap (Archived)
https://www.wattpad.com/story/59989002-my-soul-to-reap This should be considered a "first draft" kept for posterity. Please see the above link for an updated, edited version. "Help me raise some hell, Cammie, and you can get your soul back." Grim reapers are skeletal figures in black robes. That's what they are in movies, anyways. But in real life, they used to be people. Every supernatural creature knows to stay out of their way, because you don't mess with death. Or, at least they used to. Cammie isn't anything other than an ordinary girl who makes a mistake at a party. But her death leads to her meeting one of the reapers upset with the current state of affairs, and her life instantly gets more dangerous. While she's trailing behind this eccentric girl who claims to own her soul, she meets the very vampire that killed her- and he's not the only one who's taken an interest in her. The supernatural world is gearing up for war, and Cammie is one of the only ones with the chance to choose what side she wants to be on. Or, so she thinks.Complete

Fight together (Ori and the blind forest fanfic)
This is a fanfiction, but you don't have to know the game to enjoy the story. Comment on anything in particular you find interesting or want to know more about and I will try to elaborate further. This story will also be based off the definitive edition of the game, but like I said before, you don't have to know the game at all to enjoy the story. All pictures are not mine and will belong to their individual creators. Waking up in a different body, in a different world, with different abilities, is not something, H, dreamed of nor really wanted in the first place. After throwing a paralysed pedestrian out of the way of a tumbling car, H, himself was struck by an almost fatal blow that would soon take his life if something wasn't done. But something was keeping him alive, but what, was a question that no-one has the answer to. H's, friends are well aware of this, and would much rather go head to head with the underworlds leading hunter organisation then sit tight and hope for the best. So with only a staff, a sword, and a set of daggers, and three backpacks, their journey begins. Warning: If you think I'd be holding back in the swearing, well let me tell ya something. No... This will contain strong language with no restraint. You have been warned. And another heads up. I will be making big changes to how the story played out in the games. And some changes around the story to make it writable; more like adding in my own parts, or taking them out entirely and remaking them in my eyes.Complete
Crimson Loop
A perfect world for Amelie has twisted into her own personal hell. July 27th -- the day that should have been her happiest -- has become a prison she can't escape. No matter how closely she follows the script, no matter how carefully she plays her role, the story resets, dragging her back to the beginning. Now Amelie is haunted by two questions: How long can she survive when fate itself toys with her? And can she ever break free from the curse that binds her to this endless loop? *** Amelie was supposed to be the Female Lead. The story should have been hers - romance, friendship, a perfect future written in her favor. But when the world around her begins to rot into chaos, when her classmates turn into shadows with blood in their eyes, Amelie realizes the script is broken. The Male Lead she was meant to protect slips further from her grasp, and the story she thought she belonged to twists into something unrecognizable. And then it happens. A stranger steps out from the faceless crowd - an "extra" she was never meant to notice. Someone who shouldn't exist suddenly reaches for her hand. Hope comes at a cost. Every death writes her deeper into the crimson loop. And Amelie can't help but ask: ❝If I was written to be the heroine... then why does it feel like I'm not the main character anymore?❞ *** This is a work of fiction. The cover's from Pinterest.
