Ashes of tomarrow by kr3epyk1tten

Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?

Paranoia by LetAairaSleep

It started with a text. A number. A job that paid too much for doing nothing at all. All she had to do was live. Be watched. And never ask why. The cameras were set. The money came in. Silence was the only rule. But silence has a sound. And it follows her. Even now. People look familiar, but she's never met them. Her belongings shift when she's asleep. And sometimes... she sees faces in places no one should be. She ended the job. But the watchers never left. And the strangest part? No one remembers the company. Not even her friend who sent the text. There are no answers. Only eyes. Everywhere.

Almost Got Away With It (COMPLETED) by iamnenee

Her hands shook violently as she dialed the 7 digits to call her big brother. Her heart was beating so loud, and fast in her mind. She was shaking nervously as she put the phone to her ear. She did a silent prayer hoping he would pick up. She was lucky he even picked up at 2 in the morning. "Hello?" his deep voice flowed through the phone. "Kianna?" he asked a little worried. "I-I killed him." she forced out as she cried out loud. "I killed him, Leon. I-I d-didn't mean t-to!" she cried louder. That night changed her life forever. Written when I was 16... so... ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️: Might trigger some. If you don't like it please STOP READING!!!! DAMN!!!

She learns their patterns, their pain. She disarms them one by one-first with her mind, then with blood. This is not a story about healing. It's a survival story. About what's left after the chains fall off. And the truth? Not all monsters wear masks.

If I Forget You - A Slytherin Dark Romance by _miyuus

I don't remember you. But I can feel you. Luna Snape wakes up with no memory of them. Not the boy with fire in his eyes and blood on his hands. Not the friends who once stood at her side. Not the night that changed everything. But the past never stays buried. And the heart remembers what the mind cannot.

When Stories Wake Up by FracturedDream

Are you a writer? Do you ever feel guilty... when your characters suffer? When you break them, just to make the story better? You say, "It's just fiction." But what if... it's not? What if your story started feeling the same way? What if the characters you shaped with your words began to remember everything, every heartbreak, every betrayal, every death you wrote for them? And what if they wanted more than just a chapter? So tell me... If the story becomes real... If the characters you once controlled begin to take the pen from your hands... If the story starts writing you... just the way you wrote them... With all the pain, the heartbreak, the twists you never saw coming... What do you think your ending will be?

MINDFIELD || Bucky Barnes by sophietori

She's a nobody on paper. A hotel cleaner with a fake name, a forgettable face-someone who saw too much. He's a living weapon. A ghost story whispered in briefing rooms. A man who kills without hesitation-and who can't remember all the reasons why. Lethal, and wounded in ways she can't see. He doesn't remember who he is. She's pretending not to know. But trust is dangerous. And on the run with a man who can kill without blinking, she's balancing survival against sympathy-and something even more treacherous. Because in a mindfield, it's not just the bullets you have to watch for. It's the secrets. *** I don't want to live in fear. But it's not true. Not really. The fear I feel has never been of him. It's of losing myself in someone who makes me feel so much. Of losing the mission. The control. The line between truth and lie. Between justice and something far more complicated. And right now, all I want is to touch him. To let him know I see him. The man, not the weapon. *** All Rights Reserved©️ *** 🥇in #jamesbarns

Amid the Embers by Lucid_Dreams29

Amid the Embers may look like your typical post-apocalyptic story. It's not. Yes, it starts with the Noxborne Virus. Yes, the world falls apart, fast. But this isn't about scavenging for canned beans or dodging zombies in alleyways. This is about what comes after, the slow, intimate rot of systems, memories, and mercy. It begins with Lily, a CNA in a Chicago hospital, witnessing the final moments of Patient Zero. From there, the story fractures into multiple points of view: survivors, manipulators, believers, and the broken children caught in between. A rising cult twists faith into control. Trauma rewrites love, loyalty, and identity. Each chapter ends with a bonus scene, hidden thoughts and memories, alternate angles, haunted echoes that refuse to stay buried. This trilogy blends psychological horror with emotional realism. Every laugh hides a wound. Every wound starts a story. Amid the Embers is not about saving the world. It's about surviving the memory of it and what it turns you into. ─────────────── **⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ ** This book contains graphic depictions of: -Child abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual exploitation) -Physical torture -Sexual assault -Mentions of child brides - Domestic violence and coercive control -Religious extremism and cult-like behavior -Graphic psychological horror -Substance abuse -Miscarriages -Homophobia and internalized shame -Death and grief -Mentions of suicidal ideation (non-graphic) -Gaslighting and manipulation Reader discretion is strongly advised. ─────────────────

Words Left Unsaid (Rengoku Kyojuro X Reader) by Gray_Sanders

There was nothing he could say to her. Because his friend was right, just like she usually was. They were young but the chances of them ever growing old were lower than just low. Maybe this would be the last time they'd see the sakura petals fall. Perhaps it was the last time he would see her alive. They were just 19 years old. Someone could say they were young, too young to die. "I guess we're not that young anymore, are we?" Inside, it felt like they were old. Nearly too old to be alive.
