"There is no such thing as an ending, only new beginnings." 

Ansley Porter is no stranger to unusual happenings so when the nightmares begin she pays them no mind. She soon discovers that her nightmares aren't what they seem, but unfortunately for her she learns this a bit too late.   

Ansley, having walked straight into the entrapping arms of death, now wanders the earth a spirit. Her sister, Mirabel, is the only communication she has to the real world and they must work together to discover why Ansley is stuck in between life and death.     

The journey to enlightenment is not easy and the two sisters will be faced with trials pertaining to betrayal, antagonist forces, and of course love.   

Will Ansley and Mirabel figure out how to free her soul? Or will she be stuck as a ghost, forever condemned to wandering the earth unheard and unseen?

The Second Stage by benjaminburkett
31 parts Complete Mature
A world unseen dies over and over. It shrieks at a pitch that you cannot hear. It rots with a stench that you will never quite know. It isn't a place meant for you and I, it is merely a bank for the dead and dying; a vault of visceral agony. It's function, origin and purpose are as cryptic and chilling as the vengeful spirits whose claws scratch and teeth rattle just beyond the thick, putrid mist that seeps over its endless surface. Yet, through all the horrifying and inexplicable unknowns, this place has one certainty: it doesn't take kindly to guests. Meredith Haynes fell into The Second Stage during a routine surgery she was monitoring. She scrambled through it's empty expanses and fled from the decaying demonic mockery of a human being. With good fortune and great agility for a woman her age, she escaped with both her life and sanity, a miracle should miracles exist. Anyone of sound mind would never return, and spend the rest of their days in the company of friends and nights in the company of bright lights. However, Meredith met someone she never expected to see again, someone that might remove her from the ranks of those well advised souls that would never return. Now, in the days of silence thereafter, her mind wanders back to the one thing that might convince her to return, the one thing that will convince her to return. But what Meredith doesn't yet understand, is that the Second Stage has no windows, no entrances and no exits, for it accepts you when it wishes and releases you when it's finished.
The Devil's Son + Redemption by woodkid
48 parts Complete
The Devil's Son blurb: Amelie is blind since always. Her life has always been following a predetermined pattern, had always been boring and ordinary, and she'd never managed to get any real friends, since people think she's a freak. Only her family has always been there for her. But she meets Ethan, and everything changes. She cannot resist the attraction she feels for him, and she's sure that he's the good one. Ethan rejects her, and Amelie is ready for anything to get him back... Even to get help from the evil side. But is she ready to sacrifice her soul? Redemption blurb (WARNING: may contain spoilers about The Devil's Son. Please read The Devil's Son first:) Amelie has gained sight and now travels with Ethan across the globe to hunt down any Demons possessing humans, to prevent any other innocents to turn into killers, just like Callie. But someone else is hunting those Demons too, someone who does more than just exorcise them. He kills the Demons, resulting in the death of the innocent human host. Lucifer's father is furious. Convinced that Amelie is the one to kill Demons, aided by Heaven, he threatens to engage in a war against Heaven, which would cause the Apocalypse. Lucifer and Amelie agree to join forces to find the real killer before it's too late... But will they be able to stop the killer before a war between Heaven and Hell decimates the human population? And will Amelie be able to redeem Lucifer's soul?
The Five Cursed Witches: Volume 4 - Mirai, the Witch of Sight by High_Priestess_Elena
82 parts Ongoing Mature
Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (ongoing) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love
