The Song of Burning Souls (COMPLETE)
The song haunted Andrew's dreams. Then he found the singer: Lithe-a girl made of flame who lives in the vents of his apartment building. Slowly, she shows him the fire world, a brilliant place where there are no lonely winters. But these glimpses are as dangerous as they are tantalizing. Soon, Andrew can't stop craving the heat. But someone doesn't like Andrew's friendship with the fire girl. Someone who lives deep in the basement amid boxes belonging to other lost children. Someone who will stop at nothing to devour them both. What is this creature? Why has he trapped Lithe? Most importantly, can Andrew play with fire without getting burned? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This story was inspired by true events! A few years ago I moved into a very old house with large hot air vents on the walls and a cantankerous furnace. One evening, as I was drifting off to sleep, I glimpsed a light behind the grate in my room (the grate on the cover is an exact likeness of the one in my house!) The light grew brilliant and bright for a brief moment, then disappeared. I pried the grate off the wall and poked my head down there but saw no light. I was alone in the house and far too scared to go back to sleep so I got up and wrote the first draft of this story. To this day I have no idea where the light came from. Maybe it was the light of inspiration! Cover Art: Agnieszka Grochalska (agroshka.com) Cover Type: Erika Viktor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is my Friday story! I have a story for each day of the week and will update on that particular day! Please comment and let me know if you are afraid of fire, if it fascinates you. Also, have you ever wondered if anything is living in your house without you knowing about it? I am happy to read your stuff and return the favor!!Complete
Oops, We Summoned A DEMON
Two college idiots. One forbidden spell. Zero common sense. Jerry and Neo signed up for the apprenticeship with wide eyes and genuine curiosity. Ancient ruins, government permits, maybe even a discovery or two-it all sounded like the adventure of a lifetime. When Jerry accidentally completes a half-eaten incantation during lunch break, he and Neo never thought they will unleash something like that. A demon olden than history. The world should tremble... except this ancient being is more obsessed with noodles and hotpot than eternal damnation. But every joke hides a shadow. The more Jerry and Neo try to cover up their "oops-we-summoned-a-demon" problem, the more they stumble into secrets the world isn't ready for. Now, between ramen runs, suspicious professors, and a mystery older than humanity, the boys have to survive finals and the apocalypse. Dark, ridiculous, and oddly wholesome-welcome to the coming-of-age story where your roommate might actually eat souls... if he ever gets past the snack aisle.

Rise of the Crescent Moon
When Josephine returned to her home town after the death of her parents she was prepared to take a job at the local hospital. She wasn't prepared to run head first into her werewolf mate. She spent her entire childhood as the wolfless daughter of an Alpha who thought his own Luna was weak for not having a wolf. He sacrificed his pack and the legacy of his bloodline to ensure power for himself. Now, it's up to Josephine and her Alpha, August, to save their entire pack, but they aren't prepared for the war they just joined. "Mr. August Hayes was responsible for the cinnamon rolls and the smell of fall spices. If it wasn't his intense body language or the burning gaze staring into my soul giving it away, it would have been those electric blue eyes. The same ones that stole my sleep. I gulped. Why me? I squirmed uncomfortably in front of the panel as Dr. Grace led me to my chair. She was eyeballing me with a look that told me I had to pull it together. I sat down and quickly crossed my legs, trying to make myself smaller. Nurse Kasey was smirking at me, giving me a knowing look. Great, another one. I sighed through my mouth, careful not to inhale anymore of his scent. I had to get it together. I couldn't be the doctor from New York City who strolled into Little Compton hospital and made herself look like a complete idiot. I plastered on a smile."

Of Wild and Wither
Camdyn never wanted to lead. But when his brother is killed and their community falters, he's forced into a role he was never meant to fill. As the Withering spreads, twisting creatures and devouring the land, Camdyn sets out to find a cure. In the wreckage of human civilization, magic has reawakened, and with it, old beings long forced into hiding. Camdyn forges an uneasy alliance with Flora, a tree nymph sworn to protect the wilds, and Saelune, a Sirin haunted by visions of ruin. Together they discover a devastating truth: the Withering is not a disease, but the symptom of a world where the ancient source of balance has been broken. To heal it, they must journey into the Verdant Deep, where salvation comes at a price and the cost of restoring harmony may demand more than any of them are ready to give. **content warning: some (biological) horror elements are depicted throughout the story** __________________ "Camdyn froze. The creature stepped into view. It had once been a large stag, but now it was something else-mutated and rabid. Its head hung crooked on its neck, its coat patchy and matted, blackened with disease and decay. Its eyes locked onto his, hollow and haunting. Even the ground seemed to rot under its tread. He'd seen it before. Once. With his brother. The creature wasn't the same, but the sickness was."
The Book of Zhadugur
In the Land of Flames, survival is forged in fire-and sixteen-year-old Zhadugur bears the scars to prove it. Born an orphan among volcanic shadows, Zhadugur has mastered Red Alchemy, a forbidden art that weaves blood and fire into potent secrets.

When a reckless act of compassion drags Zhadugur out of the shadows, he becomes a symbol of rebellion in a world obsessed with rigid order. With his only ally, the ancient and mysterious Mentoril, Zhadugur must choose: remain hidden and safe-or embrace the dangerous path of the Triple Flames of Gibil, risking everything to challenge the old ways and forge a destiny unlike anything his world has ever seen. Fire is not just his element-it's his fate. But in a world where difference is danger, will his flame spark revolution... or burn him away forever?

A world teetering on the edge of an otherworldly eco-disaster. A teenager torn from his home and forced to reckon with powers not of his choosing. Polluted magic, killer scarecrows, and creatures rising from the grave. Welcome to FULL DARK. 🌕 Tobias Burnbright is a young man living in the northern whaling town of Palewind, his life a dreary monotony of factory work and grey skies until a new religion called the Vigil hooks its talons into the populace. They believe Tobias' queerness marks him as Twisted: a label that threatens to make him an outcast, or worse. Enter Columbus, a man who keeps his secrets close, the only hint of his past coming from the fire he wields like a weapon. 🌓 Soon Tobias and his sister Amalia are spirited away by this mysterious man in a journey spanning a continent, a journey that will cause Tobias to confront himself and the dangerous magic that dwells within him. But little does he know that his path takes him ever closer to the enigmatic Calico: an undead magus connected to Tobias by a past life, and whose schemes threaten to tear apart the very fabric of the world. 🌒 Hello lovelies🖤 I will be posting one chapter of this story every week until it is complete.
