A boy with a secret.
A girl with a dream.
The story of a lifetime.
Alex Barrie was a normal teenage girl who just wanted some adventure in her life. School, friends, and a social life just wasn't enough for the ambitious senior.
Skylar Whitley was the boy no one noticed. He was studious, and shy, and kept to himself because he was different.
The world was once a dangerous place for people who were different.
When the world learned of people they had dubbed "supers", they became fearful, and scared of the powers the abnormal people possessed. Whether it was the power of flight, or the ability to change shape, the world became anxious, and eventually, hostile.
Alex has never understood the caution against the supers. They were just unique, she thought. But when a superVILLAIN shows up in the city of Burnsbary, superheros must reveal themselves. But will anyone be able to tell the difference between hero and villain?

Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhellyComplete

Skyborn The Divine
Alice has been hiding her true self all her life. She keeps it a secret that she can bend steel with her bare hands, that she can't be cut or broken or bruised, that she can fly through the sky like she was born among the clouds. But she feels pain. She feels tired and ashamed and frustrated. She feels grief. Most of all, she feels lost, a child wandering in the dark in search of a reason she was born this way. She hides her powers, powers that didn't help her save the life of someone she loved. But she can't hide them forever, because if she did nothing with them, if she couldn't help anyone, it would be like letting him die again. But her chance is coming. Somewhere out there, there is someone like her making a difference. If she can find him, maybe join him, she might find the answers and the redemption she needs.Complete
The Undoing of Sidekicks | ✓
Sidekicks. The sad, ever-suffering excuses of heroes - a title you tack onto someone who's trying, just not hard enough. Few can shed this sad label and pave their own path. I intend to be one of them. The heroes are crowding enough of the spotlight, in my opinion. It's time for me to step up. I just know I can do it - I'll be the undoing of sidekicks. ≈ standalone extension to the undoing of heroes' universe. ✎ completed cover: @narwhellyComplete
Saving A Villain
SEQUEL TO LOVING A VILLAIN There were sparks when we met, but not the kind that you would think. One look at him quite literally knocked me out. Seriously. I was unconscious. He was not some shining hero on a white horse, who swooped in and saved the day. No he put the Hero's head through a wall and laughed. Overall, he and I are a complete shit show. Complete. Shit show. He isn't nice. Or kind. Or hell, even legally decent. And he sure as hell isn't sane. Through all his shitty qualities, the villainous attitude, and even all the multiple attempts on my life. I fell for the villain of the century. My damn luck. Blue Doom. But did we get the semi-happy ending? Or at least the one you're suppose to get when you end up with the villain of the story. But no. I get the short stick. He's nothing I ever imagined, but everything I'll ever need. I already fell in love with the villain, now its time for me to save his crazy ass.Complete
