A Book of Short Stories that I wrote in my Grade 12 Writers' Craft class. I might be making some of these actual stories.

#1. Prometheus: Set in the late 1800s: Rory and Seb are best friends from two different worlds- the upper class and the entertainers. They have not spoken in a couple weeks after a big fight. However, Rory gets a role in a play that Seb wrote, and after learning that he is ill, decides to pay him a visit and make amends. (Based on two characters I wrote three years ago)

#2. The Golden Tower: a preface to a story I wrote. About falling kingdoms and winning wars- you know, all that jazz.

#3. Defeated: Sometimes you just have to admit defeatAll Rights Reserved

5 Vile & Ignoble Tales by mr_achelaw

This is a collection of five miscreant tales: "The Grotesque There Is", "A Mere Clock", "Mayara", "The Lethargy" and "Animalia". Here are the synopses of each story in this book: "The Grotesque There Is" is actually a performance of two short stories. The first (initially called "Equine Hiring") is a mostly dialogue story about a horse in a job interview. The second tells the chronicle of the two men who stood in the rain. "A Mere Clock" is a narrative in the 1st person that tells the adventures of a mere wristwatch. At the first impact, the characters seem far from the reader, but the last paragraph ends up in a contemporary narration. "Mayara" tells the story of an egoistic girl that falls in love with a young man. Later, this man doesn't satisfy himself with her selfishness and ends up infuriating the girl, which leads to a series of tragedies and anguish, all due to the destructible retaliation. "The Lethargy" is an imaginary, almost parabolic narrative where the protagonist is a sleepy student disappointed in himself. "Animalia" is a first-person novelette of a teenage love affair between a bass player and a pretty who turns out to be a beast, making the story a real wild and raw mess. PS.: Some of these stories may present sensitive content and metaphorical representation of violence, although I do not consider any of these occurrences really timely characterised as 'mature content' since such matters are dealt with discreetly and with no compromise. Anyway, if you are uncomfortable with any approach to mature content, I suggest not reading "The Lethargy" & "Animalia". 🧡 #theseasonalcontests Book cover art: "Sogno Del Demiurgo" by Alessandro Sicioldr.

Saved by the Devil (boyxboy) ✓ by BigNeptune

There is no one in the world who could possibly love me, I know it. I've pretty much resigned to crying under my covers at night as my boyfriend who I adore links hands with my bullies at school and beats me down. Pretty cliche. I think. Sometimes, I lie awake at night, just wishing, begging, praying for an angel to fall in my lap and wave their magic wand, take the pain away. Maybe kill me silently in my sleep, take me to a better place... One where I am not alone, suffering, always suffering, and eternally rejected by the world. Still, the angels never respond, never reply, never come to my aid.. Will a DEVIL do? [A/N] Don't read this if you're sensitive to abusive scenes as there is physical and emotional abuse in this story... but have no fear, there are one or two other stories on this site you could read instead. ヽ(〃＾▽＾〃)ﾉ

His Little Mate 2 by Sabinogal

Samuel "Sammy" Albright's world was turned on its axis when he was sent across the country to his new home...to be with his mate, Nicholas "Nick" Whitestone. Samuel Albright is now Samuel Whitestone and family secrets have been revealed. Samuel has to deal with a new brother, a new gift, and a new power. Follow Samuel and Nicholas as they fight their way past the National Group of Scientists Against Mating (NAGSM), a group formed at the revelation of the secrets of supernaturals. One of its founding members...Samuel's mother. _________________________________________________ Werewolves and other supernatural creatures are known, they are revered, and they are ,often to not, the law. There is a rule in North America (Canada, The US, and Mexico) that everyone must take a test at age 18 to see if they have been paired or mated with a supernatural being. Sammy was not worried, he believed, that like his siblings, he would not be paired with a supernatural being, but unfortunately for Sammy, Fate had other plans. *Warning- this is an lgbtq book and there is a significant age difference. There are also some scenes which are forced or non-con. Beware and read at your own risk.* *THIS IS A SEQUAL TO HIS LITTLE MATE*

Blueberry Scones (MxM) by Mel_Needs_Help

Wren Arroyo's wolf was broken. Born without a complete sense of smell, Wren knew he would never have that magical moment when true mates smell each other and meet, but he was okay with that. Joshua Hansen, soon-to-be-beta of his pack, didn't know a visit to a neighboring pack would give him his mate. His only problem? His mate had no clue they had a mate bond. Then throw an alpha boyfriend, not very helpful friends, and a lot of awkwardness in and mix it all together to create Wren and Joshua's not-so-perfect love story. But those are the best kinds of stories, right? BOOK 1
