The End; always a time for happy closings, forgiveness to the forsaken and the forever damned. Broken hearts find ways sew themselves and carry on, but only sometimes the story that comes after the 'happily ever after' is told in it's true light. Because sometimes there is no such thing as happily ever after. We all want heroes to fight for us, to get the girl and save the day. What happens when they're just as lied to and broken as all the rest of us? Do they crumple up and rot away like the rest of societies most beloved rock stars. The answer to that question is an artful one, crafted so the only way it could be told is going from The Beginning.

The Crown of the Dead is set one hundred or so years after a Donald Drumpf presidency in which he declares himself king of America and destroys the world economy. The lionhearted Raven Aife is a young, black, sword wielding, warrior girl who found herself becoming queen of the land. Which is a title she didn't want at all, as she isn't that great of a people person, or a speaker, as all she really knew how to do was lead an army into battle and fight with her mighty blade. How will Raven cope under the pressure of trying to run a country?

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez
50 parts Complete
She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°
Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️ by PsychoSunbaenim
30 parts Complete Mature
Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

What am I to do when now my entire world has fallen apart? No matter how much I physically heal, I can no longer keep the mask on for everyone, It's exhausting pretending everything is fine. What's worse is the way they've all been watching me with pity or walking on eggshells around me. All I can think to do is leave this place. Their faces are everywhere I can't escape them even in my dreams. I have to go somewhere no one knows me at all. A place I could just fade into the background and no one would know I was missing if I decided I was done trying. These were the intrusive thoughts that had been rolling around in Rose Lockett's head for weeks. She couldn't stay with her parents any longer she had to get out. She left them a long letter on the counter. That day she began her journey across the country looking for peace. I Do not own Once Upon a Time or any characters and themes. I only own my story's twists and turns and my original characters and their pieces to this puzzle. This is a female original character whose name is Rose Lockett. When I think about this character I see dark brown hair and blue eyes, Their skin complexion is sunkissed light/medium. Their clothing choices are more masculine. She has long hair with an undercut usually done up in a bun. Shout out to my recent editor for her help working out the kinks in my brain and being my sounding board for all my thoughts and ideas. I could never thank you enough. @JessDaniel2401.
The Guardian of the North (Robb Stark) Completed by XLeintje
84 parts Complete
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost, The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring, Renewed shall be the blade that was once broken, The crownless again shall be king. The guardians are an ancient race that once ruled over Westeros. They were made mainly to protect, keep the peace and later on to defeat the white walkers that posed a huge threat to their country. When the Targaryens had won the Iron Throne, the tables turned on the guardians as all of them were wiped out in a matter of months. Elena Snow always thought that she was the only guardian left. It was when Ned Stark had taken her in to protect his family for the rest of her life that she found out that she was kept alive for a reason, that reason being to protect Robb Stark from the guardian they called the Dark One. So I basically wrote this book because I hate it that Robb died. I decided to add a complete new storyline to it but to also follow the original plotline. Btw, this is somewhat multifandom... Like there are characters such as Steven and Sam, Louis etc. that are from a lot of other fandoms. So expect a lot of references! I do not own the characters in this book, exept for Elena Snow (and a whole lot of others tbh, mainly the guardians). All the rights go to George R. R. Martin (poem belongs to LOTR series) Some reviews: @targxryen AAAAAAA I LOVE YOUR STORY PLS UPDATE SOON ♡ @agnight Jon and Elena meet! Quotes are always spot on! You my friend Are an awesome writer! @Icywolfs I love your story btw it's absolutely astounding! :D WARNING: I wrote this story when I was 11. Reading it back now is well... painful. Read at your own risk!
Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One) by GosiaAC
44 parts Complete Mature
"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets. The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk." BLACK MOON Book One completed a stand-alone story. ***** Alpha Mikkeli Blackwood is strong, but he wasn't always strong. His past was painful and full of fear until because of his first kill he gained respect. Now 27 he rules his pack with an iron fist as an Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. Even though strict and merciless Mikkeli is a fair leader who values power a little too much. With a sudden exposure to his older brother's secrets, he is forced to give shelter and protection to relatives he has never expected to have. To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him... Hannah has just lost her parents and is now faced with the responsibility to raise her 3 werewolf siblings being human herself along with a sudden danger lurking in the shadows. Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood. Although werewolves shouldn't have secrets from their pack, Hannah is to find out that Blackwood Pack is full of secrets and some of them are deadly... „The book had all sorts of elements of emotions like mystery, romance, guilt, etc. I loved the plot, glad it's not a regular rejection book. Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse). PLEASE COMMENT :) None of the pictures used in this book are mine.
