They called him insane.
Strange. Dangerous. The epitome of the obsessed, his life swallowed by a notion that no one could believe. It was easy to look solely on the surface, at a man deemed damaged and destroyed by those who hated him. He spoke of magic, they shunned him for his forbidden words.
But they were secretly curious.
They said he was the man who stopped time. Rumors proclaimed he had looked death in the face and survived.
People whispered about his humble beginnings, and how he rose to the top, off his own hard work. They gossiped. They wrote until the truth was indistinguishable among the lies of the crowd.
His name is Sebastian Wright.
This is his story.

Pigment (Millard Nullings X Reader)
What did I think about my life? It's cool, it's great, and I loved living in a tiny house with no air conditioning in London with my very sweet, very sarcastic cousin. Why would you ask? I mean, sure everyone kept saying, "1972 is your year, (Y/N)!" But I didn't believe it until recently. I had began to get these strange powers. I was a magical Crayon with the weird ability to change the color of anything I chose. I needed to figure out how to control it, or find someone who could teach me. A strange feeling told me to go to Cairnholm, a tiny little area in Wales, and I had nothing better to do. So, now I was off to get weird diseases, find out more about this 'chromokinesis' stuff and maybe fall in love. Didn't matter what order, as long as I had fun on the way, right? Right??

Mythian Academy: The Timeglass
Myths. Gods. Humans. These races are widely known for being the pieces that make up Mythology; however, one race has been lost to the recesses of time. Mythians. The forgotten race of peacemakers born to protect the world from war and chaos. Well that's what they told me in class anyway, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Life before Mr. Gale's Mythian Academy was simple: I only ever worried about what I was going to eat for dinner, what book I was going to read next, or whether my siblings would be able to make it through high school after me, but now life's gotten a lot more complicated because before hurling me down a hole, Alice would be jealous of, my headmaster gave me this letter explaining the unbelieveable truth. ⁓⁓⁓ To my dear First Years, The artifact stolen from the Academy is essential for the continuation of our existence. As you continue in your studies at the Academy, if you are successful, you will come to understand what all of this means, but for now, you three are our best chance to retrieve it. I plead with you: do not lose your sense of self and try hard to work together to achieve your final goal. I suggest working together no matter how different your personalities may be. Teamwork will be your salvation. Your Teacher, Mr. Gale P.S. If you're ever lost just check the map. It will guide you throughout your journey. Oh and you must know, every myth that has ever had you in awe, every being that has ever frightened you, and everything you dream of truly exists. Goodluck.Compleet
Weaver's Knight ~ A Modern Fantasy Web Serial
Even after artist Alex Deleon found himself fighting an immortal for a woman he'd just met, he had no idea of the world – and life – that they were about to face together. Imbued with powers he'd only dreamed of and faced with nightmare conspiracies that surpass a fringe theorist's most paranoid delusions, Alex must learn how to confront what he's become and the reality he's faced with.

Psychically wounded in a fight with a man even monsters fear, Sara retains an unparalleled power to conduct the forces of destiny, but little else. Together, they must find the strength to change her fate, and possibly, the world's. Because if they don't, a travesty among men waits in the shadows to make fate his own... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can sign up for email alerts (http://peter-flanagan.com/majestic/list/), follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/PeterFlanagan9), Like my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/PeterFlanaganWriter), or follow Lorena on Tumblr (http://writerswife.tumblr.com/).

Obliviate (Hogwarts Legacy Sequel Feat. Dark!Sebastian Sallow)
In a weird way, your heart would ache whenever you saw Sebastian smile, or whenever you'd hear him laugh. His joy wasn't real. He was clearly confused but played it off with sly jokes and remarks. Whatever Ominis did most definitely worked, and so far, no real problems had occurred. However, this constant voice in the back of your mind likes to remind you of the potential for complications. You have betrayed Sebastian not once, but twice. If he were to ever find out the truth about his past, everything would go up in flames-possibly quite literally. ~ You and Ominis turned in Sebastian for his use of the Dark Arts during the events of Hogwarts Legacy, therefore sending him to Azkaban. During your final year (seventh) at Hogwarts, Sebastian manages to escape, setting his sights on the both of you. In a desperate attempt to save your life, Ominis uses the Memory Charm on Sebastian, wiping Azkaban, Anne and Solomon from his mind. ~ This has some romance elements (love triangle), but is primarily fantasy thriller! Just make sure that's your cup of tea before you start reading. The story will get extremely dark as it progresses. Now includes media (music/trailers)!

SPIRIT- the curse of fire
|Book 1 of the Spirit Trilogy| Serena's life is about as normal as it gets - for an Alkanine at least - aside from her, slightly patriotic mother and obvious lack of fighting ability, for a citizen of Yanrie. Its pretty good for her, especially when her sister returns home from the front lines of the Zaross war right before her 15th birthday, the best present she could have. But upon meeting a boy from the neighboring kingdom of Miral she finds that the week leading up to her birthday may be a bit...chaotic, to say the least. (I fixed up the description. Because it sucked and now it doesn't...for now, let me look back on this in...say a month? And it'll suck again) Big thanks to @CateCandora12 for the epic cover!Compleet
The Silence After You
Tyson never believed in love at first sight-until he met Emma. From the moment she entered his life, she became his quiet obsession, the reason behind his smiles, and the one person he wanted to stand beside forever. But love is never simple. Despite their late-night conversations, their laughter, and the way she made him feel alive, Emma never saw him the way he saw her. She called him a friend-a safe place, someone she could talk to. Yet, the moment he confessed his feelings, everything changed. She grew distant. She pulled away. And then, one day, she disappeared. Ghosted. No messages. No goodbyes. No closure. Left alone with unanswered questions and a heart heavy with regret, Tyson is forced to ask himself: ❝ Was my love a curse? ❞ A deeply emotional and heart-wrenching tale of one-sided love, unspoken goodbyes, and the pain of being left behind, The Love That Made Her Run is a story that lingers long after the final page.
