Saudade- Ephemeral by FerventFae

If there was nothing you could do to change fate and yet you knew of the tragedy that awaited you... tell me, what would you do then? Would you run anyway? Would you embrace it? In a world such as this, perfection doesn't exist. Rather, in one way or another, the subconcious will of ourselves and others seems to dictate our path forward. Whether it be a wish with the purest intentions or malice held from the darkest times of our existence, these things keep us trapped in a cycle that never ends. We can feign ignorance, We can try to change fate, but in the end... all we can do is surrender to the inevitable and hope that all we've come to believe in...was never true to begin with. Until then, may we embrace the fleeting moments that pass us by, and may we appreciate through our maddening dissaray that we have already done this countless times. Until we meet again...My dear. This is a more fleshed out version of an old project I've been working on, off and on. I will be posting the draft version for all to enjoy as I write it. I hope you enjoy it!

A Whole Different Life (Book I) by TheBluester

"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems! Warning(s): This book may contain descriptions of torture of a slightly graphic nature, sexual innuendos, mentions of rape in a chapter and possibly some graphic death scenes!

Teach Me To Love Again (Jalex) by Maybejustme2

“I love you, Jack. I don't know really much right now, it's like you've taken all my knowledge with you... But I know one thing: When you don't come back, and I hope you do, you promised, it will be the end of me. You are the end of me.” ________________________________________ I'm back! With the Sequel to How To Save A Life, my previous fanfiction about my OTP. If you haven't read How To Save A Life, I recommend to do so, so you can get all the things going on here. Thank you :)

For Those Who Don't Believe in Love Songs by david_hull

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

Death's Scars by brandyanime

Death lingers and revolves in a natural form, a residual being who can see your dreams, nightmares and if it so wishes the common daydreams of mortals. Dreams spill into nightmares so easily that the shift can spur the unknown. What creates the bridge between thought and conciousness? Death is meaning and silence. The mortal path always leads to the same end. Overlapping and intermingling infinitely till life meets death. Though in some instances it's not as simple as that. What kind of life can one lead when death is around every corner? Glimpses into the past, present, and even the future are all tied to death. Can you outrun death even when it licks at your very heels? Who will it take next?

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
