Fragmented is a psychological horror told through the disintegrating journal entries of Maddie, a 17 year old girl institutionalized after years of emotional neglect and domestic abuse. But Maddie doesn't know she's in a psych ward, she thinks she's found a new "family," and she clings to this delusion with fragile desperation. As her grasp on reality deteriorates, her journal becomes a haunting record of confusion, time loops, and vanishing people she swears never existed. Her memories contradict, her thoughts repeat, and her entries slip into chaos as she rewrites reality to avoid the truth. She was abandoned. Fragmented is an unsettling exploration of trauma, repression, and the quiet horror of a mind trying to protect itself by destroying the truth. There's also unhealthy manipulation in the category of romance but it is not that.

Her hair was curled, her makeup applied lightly, her clothes clean and matching. So she couldn't be crazy. Right? Wrong. Convinced of their friend's sanity, Chloe, Maddie, Kendall, and Nia take some desperate actions that lead to some deadly consequences. Now, the girls are struggling to protect themselves in the series of events that unfolds- but how can they survive when the person they tried to protect is dead?

Lolita Allister, seventeen, carries a secret too heavy to hide. To everyone else, she's nothing but a burden, a monster, a "different" girl people would rather ignore or condemn. Doctors have locked her inside their diagnoses, former classmates inside their cruel taunts. Even those who were supposed to love her have walked away. So when she arrives at a new high school, Lolita believes in nothing- not in the future, not in friendship, not even in herself. She moves through the days without hope, a stranger to the world around her, captive to the shadows that haunt her. But sometimes a life can shift in the least expected place- behind a glance, an unplanned gesture, a single encounter. Lolita isn't searching for light... and yet a fracture may already be opening in her darkness. /!\ English is not my first language /!\

His Ruthless Temptation by Plumavenetta
31 parts Complete Mature
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers. Sensitive topics are depicted throughout. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Proceed with caution: after this point, no additional warnings will be provided.
The Maddie Show by rkivists
14 parts Complete
These are the thoughts that replayed in my mind day and night, conversations with myself that kept me awake long into the dark hours, memories that clung to me like shadows, and moments from my twenties that have haunted me. This is my diary, a glimpse into the most vulnerable parts of life on full display. No longer hidden in the quiet corners of my mind and heart. Every feeling, every heartbreak, every truth - finally brought to light. Revealed in its purest form. It's oddly therapeutic - reopening old wounds, letting them breathe. Painful, but necessary. I wrote this to be free. To let go a part of my life that has consumed me emotionally and mentally for far too long. Maybe this is the closure I'll never get from Maddie but the one I can finally give myself. *No real names are used*
