(8-chapter challenge) Maerin used to see the world in color, every shade, every tone, every feeling painted onto her canvas. But after a personal loss, the colors faded, and so did her passion for painting. That is, until Kat arrives. A mysterious new girl with an easy smile and a strange fascination with Maerin's old artwork.
As the two grow closer, Maerin begins to paint again, inspired by Kat's strange energy and uncanny insight into her emotions. But something about Kat doesn't quite add up, her stories about her past don't match, shadows seem to cling to her presence, and sometimes, Maerin swears she can see her paintings move when Kat is near.
When Maerin uncovers the truth about who or what Kat really is, she must decide whether to face the darkness that stole her color in the first place... or lose herself to it completely.

This Is Where She Ends
After a near-fatal fall on a hiking trip, Enid wakes in a hospital bed to find her best friend, Milo, at her side - shaken, devoted, and somehow... different. As she recovers, their bond deepens into something fragile and tender, the kind of love stitched together by shared trauma and quiet promises. But Enid can't shake what followed her back. She sees glimpses of herself in mirrors, faceless figures in the corners of rooms, and hears whispers that echo from nowhere. As her reality bends and fractures, Milo begins to spiral, caught between the woman he loves and a gnawing truth he can't bring himself to face. When therapy forces Milo to confront the day of the accident, everything unravels.
He waits in the dark
Every night someone touches her skin - passionately, tenderly, almost lovingly. There can't be anyone in the empty apartment.... But she feels him. Afraid. And longs to feel those bold touches again. Fear mixed with sweet anticipation. Who is he? And what will happen when the secret is out?Завершенная история
The Killer's name.
Hanni's world has always lived in the quiet corners of her mind-until she met Minji. What begins as a dark fascination with a mysterious figure quickly spirals into obsession, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. As Hanni's notebook fills with tales of murder, pursuit, and psychological games, the boundaries of fiction collapse, forcing her to confront a terrifying truth: Minji is real. Caught between desire, fear, and the lure of darkness, Hanni is pulled into a deadly game of control and survival. Every page she writes becomes a confession, every thought a reflection of the monster she might be. When obsession finally erupts into violence, Hanni is left to face the ultimate question: can she escape the story she created, or will the shadows of her own making consume her entirely? A chilling psychological thriller of obsession, guilt, and the haunting power of imagination, Ink and Shadows is a tale where the line between author and killer is terrifyingly thin.Завершенная история
I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

Myself. I stare at my reflection in the mirror and it's almost like I can see the part of me that's missing. Rafe has claimed that he doesn't care that I can't reach my wolf, that it's a problem that we will solve, that everything will be alright. He can't help me with this though. The Moon Goddess told me it was up to me and me alone, she's given me clues, only I still have no idea what to do. I feel like my soul has been lost along with my wolf, and even though Rafe smiles and kisses me and tells me it's alright, I can't help but think that he's somehow disappointed in me. Disappointed that I can't be what he needs. He needs a Luna, and right now, that's not who I am. And I'm worried that the pack sees that too. I won't give up hope though. I won't stop trying until I've found Kali, until I've found my Luna. ******************** The dust has settled following Rafe and Katarina's recovery.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The devil's mission
#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.Завершенная история
