Lorraine DuVaunte is an employee at Target. She spends her days tromping around the aisles, replacing items that have been misplaced, and begrudgingly asking customers, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Everyday is a monotonous cycle that never ends, and it won't. Because what Lorraine doesn't know is that she is a ghost. Doomed to roam the slightly scuffed linoleum tiles of Tarzshay forever. How could she ever hope to survive the fate that awaits her for eternity? She should have just taken that job at Wal-Mart.

His and only his...
"What do you want now?" she said gritting her teeth as he got closer and closer by every second. "I want nothing else but you Angel..."he whispered, his mouth inches away from her lips. "Can't you see that i don't want you? You're a pervert, a monster, a beast, a freaking werewolf for the love of god!" she screamed, backing away until she touched the wall and froze, realizing there was no way to escape anymore. Taking this as an advantage he slammed his hands on each side of the wall making it harder for her to move, and whispered "That's why you're shutting me out then... Why can't you fucking understand that you're the only girl I want? And you're obviously resisting your feelings towards me, I know you fucking want this shorty." He said before pushing his lips on hers taking her breath away, and her first kiss too... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lorraine Queen, aka Lou, is a 17 years old average girl.

Hazbin Hotel | Lost Soul (OC's story) Hazbin Hotel x OC
Taria, a female bunny, found herself in the depths of Hell, uncertain about how she had ended up in such a dreadful and chaotic place. Surrounded by unsettling sights and the constant threat of lurking demons, she knew she had to stay vigilant to avoid danger and find a way to escape. As she wandered through the desolate area, her curiosity led her to search for a secluded hotel-one rarely visited by others. Within its shadowy halls, she encountered unexpected individuals who began to teach her things she had never known, awakening her curiosity and revealing mysteries she had never imagined. Despite the peril surrounding her, Taria felt herself drawn deeper into the strange secrets of this infernal realm. ------------------------------ The characters from Hazbin Hotel belong to Vivienne Medrano (Vivziepop), except for my own character, who is my creation. Based on what I've heard from the episodes and timelines, I've decided to make some changes to fit my own headcanon. This story is meant to explore my character's journey in the Hazbin Hotel universe, purely for fun, while keeping in mind the importance of separating fiction from reality. This is my first attempt at writing a story in this world, and I hope you enjoy it!
Raven's Heir | ONC 2021 honourable mention
Sandrine is reluctant to take the job as a ghost hunter, despite her ancestral gift. And when she meets her boss and future partners, every fibre of her being tells her to quit-but she needs the money. How hard can it be to dispel the ghost of a bird? Soon, she finds herself fighting the advances of a medieval playboy, targeted by a flock of ectoplasmic ravens, and trying to solve the puzzle of the cottage in the lake. With disaster waiting around the corner, she truly has no time for a budding romance, right? ~ ~ ~ My entry for the open novella contest 2021. Prompts: No 5: There is a terrible drought ravaging the land, but when the waters recede from the local lake/reservoir, they reveal something no one expected to find. No 64. What should have been a simple task for a trio of ghost hunters quickly becomes something for which the term 'Worst Case Scenario' is the mother of all understatement. No 61. I would've lived longer if it weren't for Lorraine. There's only one issue... who's Lorraine?

Going Nowhere
My name is Hibiscus Brown, my best friend is a unicorn and my life is going absolutely nowhere. Oh, and I'm a witch. At least partly - the rest is all werewolf. After growling a little to loudly, Hibiscus, Kitty, Brown finds herself in the unfortunate situation of having to move back home to live with her dad /the werewolf/, her step-mom /the werebear/, and all the other creatures living in a small town called Nowhere. Surely it's just temporary? Surely even a half-witch/half-werewolf can figure out what she wants to do with her life? Surely the handsome werewolf who just moved back will ignore her, like he /mostly/ did when they were in high school? And surely the mysterious dark stranger who seems to pop up just about everywhere will help her when she needs it? So many questions... let's see if we can bring some clarity to it all, shall we? *** NOTE *** There will be f-bombs. And references to s-e-x. Nothing graphic because it's not my style, but there certainly will be shit that isn't super appropriate for a younger audience. You have been warned. © lenanorth All the words are mine.

To Love A Ghost || ONC 2023 Shortlist
Prompt #23: They were not real, everyone told me they were not real. But why are they here? Why are they trying to talk to me? Why are they calling me the ONE? Why are they staring at me like that? *** When bored corporate 9 to 5'er Jace Palmer inherits his great-aunt Lorraine's flower shop in tiny River Bend, Wisconsin, nothing will stop him from realizing his lifelong dream of owning his own coffeehouse and bookstore. No matter what he must sacrifice to achieve it...his life savings...his marriage...and, as strange things begin happening in the shop and the apartment above it, his sanity. Jace is certain he's going crazy, but then one day the apparition of a young man appears before Jace's very wide-awake eyes, looking and speaking like an ordinary human.

This story contains adult language, themes, and depictions of 1930's era as well as modern-day attempts at gay conversion therapy (which some readers may find uncomfortable or disturbing) and a rather unconventional HEA.*Complete
