    Blind Yandere X Reader - changing the gender preference of the reader will not impact the story - changing the gender preference of the yandere will not impact the story - cover made by me, see links to images used at the bottom of the description - this is purely a work of fiction, anything relating to anyone is just coincidence - this work is NOT written as a romance and should not be treated as such - all characters are owned by me unless otherwise stated - you own yourself ^ - Moment /ˈməʊm(ə)nt/ a very brief period of time Everything only takes a moment to change completely, a bad decision, a discovery, an accident. He's a nice guy, but then again, don't judge a book by its cover, just like you won't know how sour a strawberry is until you bite into it.

Back when Erika was an infant she used to go with her father and mother every summer there but when she was ten when her mom had passed from breast cancer she never went again. She liked not going to the Wheelers, especially the Wheeler boys (thirteen in all) because they always picked on her. Her father and her struggled with the difference in the house and five years after her mother's death her father began to change and to go crazy. Erika was forced to live with the Wheeler's again because her father couldn't take care of her anymore. Five years from not seeing them she's forced to live with them until she turns eighteen. Now she has to attempt to survive for five years. With the same boys that picked on her. (completed) ~in progress of major editing~

  • Affectionate Whispers | under construction ⚠️
    Affectionate Whispers | under construction ⚠️
    𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 - Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on. Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more? 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲 | 𝐦𝐞, @𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢 ᝰ.ᐟ

    -*| The Cursed World |*-
    Just smile. Just smile, and forget it all. Just smile, and it won't hurt. *~* A world, full of hate. A world, full of racism. A world, full of sexism. This is the world Hebe lives in. This is the world Hebe has tried to make herself believe is full of good. Yet, every aspect of her life undermines this. Every day would show an outsider how twisted her world is. How cursed her world is. From family, to friends, to lovers, can she truly trust anyone? Any of them? From having grown up in a world so pressured down on one's gender and race, is there truly any hope for her? Is hiding from all of the pain; all of the abuse, really the only solution? Yes, that is the right answer. To build a wall up, to stay naive, and to hide from it all. That is her only way to stay joyful. That is her only way to remain... Sane. -- A/N: ⁃ Rated mature ⁃ Would not recommend for young children ⁃ Even though this book has been prewritten from only three months before now (May), my style of writing has changed and this version is a bit rusty ⁃ Updates every (*time*)

    Dreamie, You've Got a Big Storm Coming
    Dreamie, You've Got a Big Storm Coming
    After a few months of identifying as a he and as a they online, Dream discovers she/her pronouns. Their whole concept of self begins to shift... and it's all thanks to Taylor Swift. This is a spin-off story dedicated to @klemonn . They wrote a Dream Team story on AO3 titled "There's No Crying Wolves Now" where Dream uses he/they pronouns, and this story is loosely based upon it. I highly recommend you check out their work! Although the Dream Team have stated that they are comfortable with fanfiction, I am happy to take this story down if they request it. I do not mind if the Dream Team finds this. :)
