Requiem Of Shadows by _marygl0riaa
67 parts Ongoing Mature
Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she chose herself. Eighteen years old and soaked in the blood of everyone she ever loved, she rises from the carnage with something no mortal should possess: the power to command death itself. A single touch snuffs out life. A single thought bends destruction to her will. The darkness inside her is awake... and hungry. Her awakening draws the Banes, creatures of nightmare and hunger, eager to possess the weapon she has become. Fleeing a world unraveling into ruin, Seraphine is taken into Death's Castle-an ancient labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that's ever screamed. There she meets an unlikely trinity of allies: a diviner who sees the threads of fate fraying, a war vampire addicted to blood and battle, and a brute whose strength is matched only by his fierce loyalty. But as her ancestry unfolds-a legacy woven from dark and light-a deeper horror stirs in the void, older than gods, older than death. And it has been waiting for her.

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

Follow Alexa on a journey of discovery, learning about both herself and the black sheep of the family who used to own the house. It's one thing uncovering the disgusting hobbies her late uncle kept (a mixture of taxidermy, dissection, and ancient methods of torture), but when a series of mishaps leads to her inheriting something from the man she never could have dreamed up, it's up to her to make sense of the crazy situation.

Beneath His Pen by WrittenByWhispers
34 parts Complete Mature
Somewhere between longing and lunacy, he found her. Not in a dream. Not in a poem. But in the corner of a café, alone with a book and the kind of silence only broken souls understand. She didn't look at him. Not even once. And maybe that's why his fingers trembled around the pen for the first time in years. Lyra Selena. He didn't know her name yet. But he would. Oh, he would. Because Lucien Vale didn't write for the world anymore. He wrote for her. About her. To her. And if the ink bled too deep-if obsession laced the edges of every verse- then so be it. The world called him a genius. She would call him something else entirely. --- "Tell me, little muse ..." "Will you run before the story ends?" ---
The Crimson Claim by SoulHunter03
50 parts Ongoing
In a city drowned in fog and shadows, Lucien has walked the centuries in silence, feeding without care, leaving no ties behind. Immortality has made him cold, careful, untouchable-until the night he meets her. She is a mortal girl with haunted eyes and a sketchbook full of secrets. One look is enough to unravel his restraint. Drawn to her in a way he cannot explain-or resist-Lucien begins to linger, to claim, to protect. His hunger is no longer for blood alone, but for the girl herself. Yet fascination is a dangerous thing. As she finds herself pulled into his world, her fear begins to blur into desire. Against her better judgment, she craves his presence, even as she feels the shadow of his possession tightening around her. Their bond is intoxicating, impossible, and inevitable. But in the dark, love and danger are indistinguishable-and surrendering to him might mean giving up more than her heart. The Crimson Claim is a gothic romance of hunger, obsession, and the terrifying beauty of belonging to a creature who will never let you go.
