Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift) by nullandvoid44
26 parts Complete Mature
You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.

Wives' Murder Club by 1-800-Smackabitxh
11 parts Ongoing Mature
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)

It's Cold Upstairs | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges
16 parts Complete Mature
Who are you, really, when your own memories may not serve you? When the 'you' of just a year ago is a stranger to you today? When your own psyche blurs the lines between complex and insane? Two people, three minds, and an unresolved mystery converge between the pages of a decade-old notebook. What happens next proves that identity and self are ephemeral concepts, and that murder does not always leave a body. ❖❖❖ Content Warning: This book contains dark themes and depictions of psychological distress that may be disturbing to some readers. Proceed at your own discretion.
A Mere Reflection by Kariido
7 parts Complete Mature
I'd like to consider each part a story in itself. While I always connected the characters with each other, something felt different in each part. It's a story about many aspects of our thoughts, some of which never have touch with reality, and some we see every day. You might not understand this unless you travel inside the characters thoughts, and yours for that matter.
Tales From The Unheard by imEison
9 parts Ongoing
I'm taking an unconventional approach with this series, which isn't typical of my usual writing style. While I'm primarily drawn to the thriller genre, this series features light novel-type short stories. The best part? Each story is a standalone piece, so readers can jump in at any chapter without needing to read the others. Spanning nature, mystery, love, and detective stories, this series offers a diverse and captivating reading experience.

Memory Fragments: Erratica by MrDonko

Its thoughts changed and morphed into words most erratic, and yet, they still made sense for the context in which they were found and remembered. Welcome to Memory Fragments: Erratica. A non-cannon collection of stories that did not make their way into the original trilogy. Where I, the author, get to have fun with my characters, world, and silly-yet-fun ideas that pop into my head.
