The year was 1986.   Rock 'N' Roll had its first induction in the Hall of Fame, the Bears crushed the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, Beatles records officially went up for sale in Russia,  the US performed nuclear testing at a Nevada Test Site, and my kid brother and I made our final escape from from the miserable prison that ruined our lives.  Sure, the people and machines there gave us abilities one can only dream of, but my brother's talents and my own would never be worth all of the pain.  And now, all of the running and fighting for our lives.
None of that mattered now, though.  I promised my brother 10 years ago that I would bring him home, now I would let nothing stand in my way to do just that.

The Fade by imacharacter98

"Can you not see what's going on around us? People are disappearing without any warning. Is that funny to you? Does it not worry you at all that you could be next? Does it not scare you that you could wake up tomorrow, and I could just be gone? Because it scares me. A lot." *** Widespread unexplainable disappearances prompt a group of teenagers to leave their empty homes in search of the source of The Fade. Will they find an answer and a way to stop the disappearances, or will they too succumb to The Fade? *** Inspired by a series of spectacularly weird dreams. *** "This story gives me a reason to smile even on the worst days." ~@smallestpenguin *** First update: 5/25/18 Final update: 7/19/19

Like Nobody Else by TheBlackSorceress

Haunted by the mantra "I'm nobody," I echoed these words in my mind, feeling as though my entire existence revolved around catering to the happiness of others. Despite having friends, a constant undercurrent of self-doubt lingered, as if I were an anchor holding them back. In the shadow of my brother Adam's fame with the renowned band Three Days Grace, I was the family's black sheep, an outcast in our town. My academic prowess and hardworking nature seemed to count for naught, dismissed by my father as failure. Even my past relationship revealed a cruel truth - I was a mere experiment for my ex-boyfriend's infidelity. While my brother Adam basked in the heroics of our town, I felt cast aside, deemed a potential threat to other teens and shunned like a contagious disease. Despite my pleas for help falling on deaf ears for years, my existence seemed insignificant, unnoticed. The reflection in the mirror, one last look before I just contemplated ending it all, reflected a soul weary of pleasing others at the cost of my own emotions. With black lipstick, I scrawled a poignant question on the mirror: "Are you happy?" In the final, desperate act, as I pushed myself to the brink, a rush of relief mingled with the pain. Yet, as I succumbed to the darkness, a familiar voice called my name, disrupting the silence. Awakening to a hospital room, my feet tied to the bed, a blond-haired, blue-eyed figure lay by my side, a silent sentinel. Even in my darkest moment, he defied my wishes, standing vigil over the remnants of a life I sought to escape. The tangled web of emotions unfolds as I grapple with the unexpected second chance, questioning whether the bonds of love and resilience can conquer the shadows that once consumed me.

VIBgYOR Part 1: Catching Pace by KingOfTheTwillight

Sheeran: [Whimping] Why me of all the 7 billion people on the earth? Why me? Steven: It's not by luck or someone's grace, that you have been chosen to do this, it's simply a result of your own actions. Remember Sheeran everything in this vast expanse of Space time happens for a reason and well, this might be yours! Just Remember your actions will be shaping the fate of the Omniverse. What is the Multiverse exactly, and what does it prove? Are their beings like us somewhere millions of light-years away from us? These questions pop into our imbecile minds from time to time. Is there even a chance of mixing and recasting Science as well as Supernaturalism together? Well here is a humble attempt to do so in the form of a story which has all the necessary elements in it. Hope you enjoy it. 😁😁😁

Escaping the Monster's Embrace by Mentally-Insane

Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled. Some people still believed in god and had faith in him, I didn't know what I believed in but I prayed like everyone else that I would get through another day without hearing the soul crushing word 'Mate'.

Learn to take your time! (Y/N X Lafayette) - [Hamilton Fanfiction] by SpideysTomcat

I put on the uniform and damn, I looked good. I found an easy band-aid and wrapped it over my chest, which made it smaller. My hair was in a tight bun, I pulled the collar a bit higher and exhaled. I'm going to a freaking war now. The shoes didn't fit right, but I'll find some in Washington's room. ~ - 'Time' is a short word with a big meaning. It may be impossible in this reality but there are more than one and somewhere in this big ass universe.. well, there is a chance. So you should take it! - A Y/N story without Y/N. Anyway, if you don't like it don't read it.

The Unordinary by elephant576

Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)

Hurricane by icanseelights

"I open my eyes and exhale, searching the room to determine what is amiss. Nothing. Nothing but the dust and the air. And yet, something lingers, something unsettling and alarming and indistinct all at the same time." - Humans are savage, perhaps the most savage creature of all. We substituted claws for weapons. Our bodies were cold so we killed for the fur of animals better than we. We created laws, religions, false ideologies - and we believe ourselves superior while we war with each other over land we do not own and things we cannot control. For all intents and purposes, we should have died out before we even began - but we became the best. Top of the food chain. And then there was the prophecy. And the food chain became irrelevant. And humanity became irrelevant. Because with the prophecy came the power to destroy the human race. Or the power to change it.

No Superheroes Allowed by Amgeek

Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime as only increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...

BROKEN COURAGE (Broken Redemption Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.
