In 2024, the United States of America took a crushing loss in the Olympics. They never placed once. Fearing the effect this will have on America's reputation, the government decides to experiment a bit and train college students solely for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Thus, Kingston University for the Gifted was opened on an island off the coast of Southern California. Here money doesn't matter. There's no tuition- just a signed contract demanding appearance in the Games.

Kyle grew up mucking out stalls in exchange for riding lessons. His family never had much money, so fancy riding instruction never was an option. When a scout appears at a show offering him a way into the big leagues, he doesn't refuse. But will he regret his decision in a world filled with backbreaking work, huge expectations to live up to, and quite a few 1,500 lb animals with minds of their own?All Rights Reserved

Killer Magic Academy by job_books

You either become brilliant, or you get killed. When Alyssa was invited to a boarding school to learn magic, she was expecting something out of a Harry Potter book. She wasn't expecting to become a master of a power and learn how to survive and fight with it. She wasn't expecting that most of the people in the school would kill the people with too much power. She wasn't expecting to be one of the most powerful students to ever walk the school. Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students. Alyssa thought she was signing up to learn to help the world, but she has to master her power quickly, before the people who already have mastered their powers come after her. Soon, that becomes the least of her problems. There's a prophecy that everyone seems convinced that it's about her, a fight club that she accidentally signed up for, the dragon that lives in the arena, and the threat that terrifies the entire school. There's only one person who can stop the threat before it's too late - the subject of the prophecy. Unfortunately for Alyssa, no one knows how to stop the threat or what exactly it is. Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forev

The Ghost of Princeton ||Spencer Reid|| by RAMayes

There was no way to know that they existed - the group known as the Four Horsemen. They kept themselves hidden, stayed underground and covered their tracks by using one of their members to wipe any digital trace of them away. Dr Cressida Stiel. Pestilence. The Ghost of Princeton. In 2005 she was supposed to have died in a fire. A body left behind in the ash to cover her disappearance. Then in 2006 the FBI was hacked, almost no trace was left except for a message on Dr Spencer Reid's computer. A message of disjointed words, ending with 'help'. It wasn't until a few months later that he found out that it was Cressida. And that she wasn't a Horseman by choice. Six years after her faked death she runs to the FBI, turning herself in for questioning. But when you have lived years in fear and anxiety, it makes it difficult to trust others. Even when the team tries to sway her to help, the only person she can open up to is Reid. But what will happen after the three remaining Horsemen are caught? If they're ever caught? ||Spencer Reid Fan-Fic - Criminal Minds|| ||Takes place in seasons 6, 11-13|| ||Canon-typical violence, swearing|| ||Updated daily||
