Every tree looks the same in this forest. Crooked branches lurch threateningly, leering faces scarring their trunks. Their roots tumble and fall from below, perfect for tripping over. A stumble here, a stumble there.
Twigs snap idly on the forest floor, setting her heart racing at every noise. Succumbing to the shadows seems inevitable, but she can’t allow that.  She has to get home, somehow. Suddenly, a cloth falls over her eyes, making her scream. However, like when a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, there is no sound.
- - -
Ana is on a mission. She needs to find her friend. Fast.

Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975
20 parts Complete Mature
Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.

A Court of Watchful Shadows

62 parts Ongoing Mature

"I don't need to tell you pricks anything, I have my own reasons for being here and they don't concern three idiots who won't-" I was cut off as a force came slamming into me. I look up in anger at the man who was now towering over me, his nostrils flared as he took heavy breaths in and out, staring down at me in rage. I mirrored this as I looked up at him, my own anger causing my shadows to whip around sharply. We stare at each other in the eyes, neither of us backing down as the other two shout at him trying to call him off. His shadows come dancing around him to meet mine in turn. A moment passes and it feels as though the shadows part to reveal an invisible string tying us together. Just as the mating bond snaps into place. Female OC! - some brief ocxlucien but the main story is ocxazriel. ****still editing**** apologies for any typos 🫶
