Life is rough but then so is the afterlife. Recruited by Death, Mercy holds the coveted title of a Taker. She is one of many in the ranks of his dark army, but Mercy is not like the others...she's different. 

     Never knowing a human life, Mercy struggles with a very real human emotion and her humanity. Ignoring Death's orders, she follows her impetuous heart and fails her first assignment.  

     Luke Winters was the first mark on Mercy's record. With his dark hair and icy blue eyes, she has an instant connection with the human and allows him to live breaking one of Death's cardinal rules by giving him a second chance.  

      Three years later, Luke's name is chosen once again from Death's cauldron. This time though, he's not Mercy's assignment but Roan's, a long-time rival. As things heat up between Mercy and Roan, she must decide just who her heart belongs to. 

     Can Mercy save Luke again or will Roan take away the one person capable of unlocking the secrets of her past and end up breaking her heart forever?All Rights Reserved

For You by MyriamRow

Following the horrid events proceeding his little sister's ballet recital, Jaxson Scott awakes into what he describes as nothingness and knows he's dead. Prepared to prematurely leave his near perfect life, Jaxson doesn't expect to receive a special offer before his final passing. He jumps at the chance of a brief return to life, accepting the task to aid, Lexi, a girl that he was destined to meet. Previously known to be confident, socially apt and part of the popular group, Jaxson Scott's rapid change to an easily flustered and love-sick fool is humorous and heartfelt. He experiences dating like he never has before. He comes to share deep, intellectual conversation with Lexi and finds himself fighting for any bit of extra time. Falling too fast, he struggles with the knowledge that he will soon need to leave Lexi, amongst the rest of his life, behind.

...Thirteen lifetimes and she never found the one... #enemiestolovers #slow-burn #reincarnation #GoodOmensbutSexy #cleanromance *** Synopsis: For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss-rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one-not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark. [updates every weekend] [First draft]

Fate's Exchange (Twisted Fate, Book 1) by SashaLeighS

Death wants her. Fate has already claimed her. Angels protect her. When Atropos's blade cuts a life she should not have taken, the Sisters of Fate move heaven and Void to buy time. Death always makes its quota, and Alyssa is on its list. When Alyssa Frank dies trying to save herself from a brutal attack, she finds that second chances do exist. Now, reliving the final week leading to her death, she must discover the right choices in a sea of wrong. Angels walk the halls of her school in human skins, a Brother too close to mortal warmth watches over her, and a teacher with hidden faces threatens the town's safety. When the Sisters insist fate must be honored and the Brothers bend rules to protect her, Alyssa must choose whom to trust-and how much of herself she's willing to lose to win. With new love brewing and friendships on the line, what happens when chances run out? Fate's Exchange is the first twist in Alyssa's journey, a raw story of choices, stolen moments, and a cosmic bargain that teaches Alyssa the cost of saving others. Triggers: Violence, sexuality (discussed, not portrayed), death, student-teacher authority

The Grim Reaper's Girl by joshszz

This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.

Eternal Mirage by JollyBora3

~shattered echoes" "When I regained consciousness, I was surrounded by the doctors and nurses. They were looking down at me like they had seen a ghost. 'Where's....Jon..as?' I was exerting force to speak, my lips were dry and my voice wouldn't come out deliberately. 'Julia, are you okay? Jonas is coming!' the same doctor who treated me when I was in coma, comforted me by touching my hair. The nurses were quick in..." Julia wakes from a coma to a world that feels both familiar and strange. Memories blur, emotions run deep, and every moment is charged with questions she isn't ready to answer. Can she uncover the truths hiding in plain sight, or will the echoes of the past consume her? _______________________________________ Step into a story of suspense, mystery, and emotions that linger-where nothing is as simple as it seems, and every heartbeat holds a secret.

Us Though the Millennia by Mizuki259

COMPLETE Death is inevitable, however he can't collect all of the souls by himself. That's were his children come in. Grim reapers are the children of Death. They are the ones to lead and protect souls on their journey between worlds. They were the first grim reaper and Deaths first child. They have been by his side since Eve was tempted by the snake and has shown nothing but loyalty to her father. They don't have a true name but is lovingly known as Hope by the angel and the demon of who they have always seemed to cross paths with. Why? They don't really know why they were given this name by the angel but he seems to think it's suits them. 🍎~ Good Omens I don't own Good Omens or the characters. I only own my OC'S and any additional plot lines. Sorry in advance for any incorrect spelling, grammar and punctuation. EDITED This story is now on AO3! Mizuki259
