*A story inspired by the wonderful psycho thriller ''Black Swan'' (2010)* A ''what if'' story, set immediately after the movie's ending. (Pairing: Nina x Lily)
For one role the young Nina Sayers risked her sanity, for perfection she was willing to even die. She was given the role as the Swan Queen, and it cost her nearly her sanity and her life. Her life was saved, however, and the young ballerina leaves the company, and abandons the world of ballet, so to heal from her inner wounds and the past, piecing together a shattered sanity as on she lives. With Lily at her side, far away from her mother's clutches, Nina experiences true happiness for the very first time. The two women, having become lovers and each other's closest friend, are willing to become a family, and adopt a little girl named Grace. As her two mothers before her, Grace wishes to become a ballerina. Despite Lily's concern for her lover's still fragile state of mind, Nina is willing to become her ''daughter's'' instructor and advisor in the world she swore never again to participate in. Gradually, ever so gradually, a long buried history between a different mother and another child is unearthed, and yet again a sanity is threatened to completely in give as the Black Swan, Odile, once again threatens to consume its innocent twin, Odette.

As always the cover was created in Photoshop CS6
Warnings; twisted scenes due to Nina's schizophrenia (or due to her psychotic personality if you so will as her ''illness'' has not been stated, but I will assume that Nina suffers from schizophrenia), some self harming scenes, a few sexual scenes between two women and child abuse in the past (implied to be sexual, but mostly psychological and emotional)
Should it repulse you, should it be triggering, then away you should turn - for your own sake.

A one shot about a romance revolving around a futuristic institute's cultural festival.
As it is, even future soldiers have a normal high-school life.
The story is set in the future, where children are trained from an early age, by the permission of their parents, (unless of course, they are orphans) to become Knights. They then become part of the military. Nina is such a child, who joined the V_ four years ago. She's infamous for her wild nature and blatant disregard of the rules and the Student Council. And then, by some blighted twist of fate, she finds herself a House Prefect. Enter Azerkin Schwann, suave, cool, mysterious and with a permanent train of fangirls. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Nina finds a close friend in the drool-worthy Schwann.
Everything is going on perfectly; except for a pack of man-killer cyborg wolves, an insanely powerful rival-in-battle, whose aim in life seems to be throwing challenge after challenge at Nina, and the Senior Troublemaker of the School's latest game :- 'Set fire to a pile of straw'. Well, that's not much, after all, what can a pile of straw do? Nothing, unless there's a stack of fireworks underneath. And that's the least of her worries when Nina's fallen head over heels for Schwann.
This is a work of fiction, and the characters introduced are purely fictional. Any resemblance in name or character is unintentional. Just sayin' since this is basically my first story using normal names and settings.
The story is currently a one shot. I may develop it further if there's a positive response from my readers. Positive, as in comments and votes.
