Esmond Haethowine had been named a music prodigy by the age of 12 having already mastered 5 instruments and nearly 15 years later is one of the greatest musicians in the world. He now teaches prodigies just as himself at his boarding school Enterprise School of Music. He has always gotten rid of the "instruments" that couldn't produce the correct sounds so how will he deal with an "instrument" that is broken and yet when "played" in a certain way can create sounds no different if not better than any other "instrument"?

Electronic Death Music (EDM: Harmonic Wasteland)
The world was in shambles. Natural resources were scarce. Poverty, unemployment, and disease are rampant throughout the world. It is affected by the ubiquity of the technological scourge. All manual labor is performed by incessant iron muscles. Technology is the only source of employment and economic wellbeing for the modern world. Artificial intelligence is well developed, leading to the prevalence of automatons within our communities. These automatons have replaced their human counterparts not only within the manual labor market but also within careers requiring technical knowledge. Even skills that required the inventiveness and innovation of the human mind are replaced by the unrelenting efficiency of artificial intelligence. The over-supply of metallic citizens and the stagnant state of global economy made humans to ignore the arts. A dearth of trees due to over-pollution caused a scarcity of many musical instruments like pianos, guitars, flutes, and harps. The automatons have perfected only the soothing of the cerebral cortex with zirkanium levers and buttons. Their brand of music appeals to the areas in the brain associated with primitive instincts and pleasure. There is nothing intellectual about the automaton's melodic creation because it lacks the necessary human element. Homo sapiens are not perfect but they do create imperfectly. No music exists in this world, only Electronic Death Music.Complete
The Laws of Motion (manxmen, teacher/student) *Short Story* Camp Nanowrimo 2015 Winner
Dr. Addison Coles moved away from everything and everyone he knew because he was tired of being different and alone. He wanted a normal life, he wanted to live, love, and laugh without the stigma that came with being a child prodigy. Although his IQ propelled him ahead of others by years, it also had it's downfalls. He was always known as the, "the smart kid." The operative word being a kid. No one looked twice at him in high school, and he didn't have any prospective love interests until Graduate School when he figured out he liked boys. Addison was always jail bait and too intimidatingly intelligent for other guys his age to feel comfortable in his presence. While he stayed in the community where he grew up, love and romance, Hell, even one night stands weren't in the cards for him. So Addison solved that by applying to several Institutions before finally accepting an offer to teach both his beloved subjects far away from home. Everything was perfect, shiny and brand new, that was until poor little Addison made the acquaintance of not one but two devastatingly handsome men. At first he thought that his gorgeous student was being super cocky and playing tricks on him, showing up not only in his first hour Physics class, but his noon time class as well. Then he slowly but surely realized that there was not one but two of those identical sexy beasts. Twins, and they seemed to have made it their life mission to try to seduce him. Read to see how if this swirl of chemical reactions will mix and blend together or will the reactions clash and become explosive?Complete

Claim Me Alpha(Editing)
When I walked into the school people look at me. I was walking to my locker and I smelled the sweetest smell ever. Mate!!! Go get mate's Reign was yelling and howling. Looking around, my eye a landed on the one person who I didn't want to see and he was staring right back at me. Cole Black. His eyes looked through mine and Reign was howling with joy. I stood there shocked not able to move. Except when he stood up and started walking towards me, I did the one thing that I would have never thought I'd do. I ran. Just as I got into the parking lot and to my car, warm arms wrapped around my arm and I knew exactly who it was. Cole turned me around to where I was facing him and growled" Mine" "No, no, no, not yours!!!" I said in disbelief. His grip tightened around my waist and he growled. "You are mine. No one else's. You will not touch another male and you will not talk to another male. You are mine. Mate." He said before putting his head in the crook of my neck and inhaling.Complete
Sterek One-shots
It's as the title says, Sterek one-shots. A lot of angst, a few happy sprinkled here and there, some fluff. All the Sterek! I hope you enjoy. {Also posting on AO3, each is called the same as the names of the chapters. They're all in the series "Sterek Short Stories!"} Cover credits go to @TheFishBrain (Thank you!). Here are a few random snippets (in order): ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ "You left me, Derek. I loved you and you left me." His last words to me echoed around my head, like a gunshot in an empty parking lot. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Everyone saw what he wanted them to. No one saw the real him and he was beginning to hate everything he was and everything he was not. He needed someone who saw him, needed to be true to everyone just as much as he needed to be true to himself. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ "Stiles, we're two separate packs, you can't be apart of both!" He was getting sick of his best friends indecision and, after a long conversation, had just exploded. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ "I can't lose you, I've lost too many, you were supposed to stay, you weren't supposed to leave. Stay with me please, I-I can't, not again. Never again." ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Stiles was watching him again, this had become a daily occurrence and he did not know how to deal with it. He knew Stiles' feelings for him, Stiles being Stiles had gotten bored of dancing around them and just blurted it out once after a Pack Night. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Blood coated his hands, splattered his face and dripped from his T-shirt as he stared at himself in the mirror. "How can you still love me after what I did?" ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Stiles flailed, chair falling backwards as he did, creating a thump louder than the one that had originally scared him. The man by his window stood up, adjusting his clothing as he walked towards the younger boy whose eyes were blown wide, heart beating a mile a minute. Derek inhaled deeply trying to determine what it was he could smell.Complete
