Twelve-year-old Carmen has a secret: she can talk to her cat Grim. But the powerful Brotherhood has banned pets, and the penalty is death.

Ward is the most wanted boy in the world. The only thing standing between him and the hangman's noose is master criminal Saint Nick. In exchange for Nick's protection, Ward must find the long-lost horn called the Oliphant, said to have the power to wake legendary beings known as the Sleepers, whom Nick believes can aid him in his guerilla war against the Brotherhood. This leads Ward to Carmen, whose family has a long and mysterious association with the Oliphant.

Ward and Carmen are soon hot on the trail of the horn, but the Brotherhood are closing in on Carmen's family. Ward and Carmen realise that waking the Sleepers may be the only thing that can save Carmen's parents from certain death. If only they knew how.

Take Me to Ruin by aziiiweaver
8 parts Ongoing Mature
They say monsters come out at night. They're wrong. The monsters never leave. The Hollow Men own the shadows of Blenford Ridge. They play by their own rules no one questions- because breaking them means you don't come back. There's only one way into their world: the Ritual. One chance to survive, to earn a place in the chaos and desire that waits beyond. No warnings. No second tries. Fail, and you disappear from their world forever. Angel Monroe never wanted their attention. But when the wrong glance turns into a challenge, she's pulled into a world of power, danger, and desire that's as twisted as it is addictive. Hate simmers. Tension burns. And the harder she pushes back, the more they seem to want her to break. Some men don't stop at breaking you. They want to own you. And when desire and danger collide, there's no telling who'll break first. Because some obsessions don't end with the night. They only get darker. ‼️⚠️WARNINGS⚠️‼️ graphic sexual content, bdsm and kink dynamics, consensual non-consent (cnc), violence and murder, psychological manipulation, dark and morally gray themes, emotional and physical degradation, toxic relationship, obsession and possessiveness, trauma and mental distress

Going Nowhere by LenaNorth
26 parts Complete
My name is Hibiscus Brown, my best friend is a unicorn and my life is going absolutely nowhere. Oh, and I'm a witch. At least partly - the rest is all werewolf. After growling a little to loudly, Hibiscus, Kitty, Brown finds herself in the unfortunate situation of having to move back home to live with her dad /the werewolf/, her step-mom /the werebear/, and all the other creatures living in a small town called Nowhere. Surely it's just temporary? Surely even a half-witch/half-werewolf can figure out what she wants to do with her life? Surely the handsome werewolf who just moved back will ignore her, like he /mostly/ did when they were in high school? And surely the mysterious dark stranger who seems to pop up just about everywhere will help her when she needs it? So many questions... let's see if we can bring some clarity to it all, shall we? *** NOTE *** There will be f-bombs. And references to s-e-x. Nothing graphic because it's not my style, but there certainly will be shit that isn't super appropriate for a younger audience. You have been warned. © lenanorth All the words are mine. Please don't steal them. Write your own instead (and let me know so I can read them).
Moonrise by True-North
26 parts Complete
A young fairy's desire to break free from the restraints tethering her to her world, pushes her into the arms of a charming, young wolf, whose world benefits from keeping her shackled. ***** Sixteen-year-old Ellette longs to know what the world is like outside of the Woodlands, home to all Fae. As the black sheep of her family, her curious and stubborn nature makes it difficult for her to adhere to the strict ways of her people. One night while running away, Ellette stumbles upon Michael, an injured werewolf. She makes the choice to save his life, and intends to send him on his way once he recovers. But the more Ellette gets to know the intriguing, young wolf, the more reluctant she is to let him go. And letting him go would certainly be in her best interest. Not only is Michael an intruder in the Woodlands, but the very creature all Fae have good reason to fear. As his forbidden presence threatens the safety of all Fae, Ellette finds herself torn between following her heart or doing right by her people.
Unbinding the Demon by DaturaMoon
53 parts Ongoing Mature
"Don't bite your lip in front of me like that, Buttercup, or I might have to bend you over and f*ck you right here in this musty old library." Although he practically whispered, his deep voice was rough, almost a growl. He brushed his thumb across my lips, while moving his other hand from the wall to grab my waist and pull me closer to him. Oh snap... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After spending five millennia imprisoned and bound in The Abyss, the demon Azathoth is finally released by a valiant sorceress. Now he must convince the only girl who can seemingly unbind his powers to do just that before his time runs out. His plan? He'll just have to make her fall in love with him. This is the first draft version of the book. There is an updated and edited version available in paperback, hardcover, or e-book on Amazon Kindle. WARNING: This book is intended for 18+ readers. It contains LOTS of explicit smutty sex scenes, mature language, mild drug use, violence, and gore.
Mimi's Demons by LoweFantasy
120 parts Complete Mature
An eleven-year-old Mimi can see demons. She finds one feeding on a mafia boss, unconscious and bleeding out against her favorite breakfast dumpster. When she saves his life, he rewards her by forcibly taking her from the streets to adopt her. But Mimi doesn't want a dad. She just wants to go back to her parking garage, away from people and the demons that feed on them, which her new 'home' just happens to be full of. She's also not stupid enough to believe a guy who is practically a demon himself could make good parenting material, especially for an unwanted freak like her. And whatever happened to her childhood friend, the monster under her bed? Rated M for violence, some language, mentions of torture, killing people, uh, mature subjects...am I missing anything? The point is, it's not M for porn or inappropriate relationships. Just dark stuff.
