Get a sneak peek of The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel!
Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil.
Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town.
When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperature as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him. As strange accidents start to occur, riled by the feverish heat, some in the town start to believe that Sal is exactly who he claims to be. While the Bliss family wrestle with their own personal demons, a fanatic drives the town to the brink of a catastrophe that will change this sleepy Ohio backwater forever.

I Accept You As You Are (Tomco)
It had to have been the absolute hottest day of the year over in America's third largest state. The temperature in California that day had reached a scorching 105 degrees, and heat advisories had been set in multiple areas, including this one. Though, heat like this wasn't really something that bothered this demon as he stood outside, sunglasses in place, face up towards the sun. Tom wasn't fazed, in fact, being the demon that he was, he usually bathed in fire - showered in it on days he was in a rush. Today was one of those days as he lit fire under his feet and snapped his fingers together, showing up in the Diaz's household within seconds. He figured Star and Marco may have been bored out of their minds and dying from the heat, and who better to annoy them than the coolest demon alive? He wasn't much of a helper, but figured today he'd let himself just this one time, plus he hadn't seen his friends in some time. -------------------------------------------------------- (THIS IS A REWRITE OF AN ALREADY EXISTING STORY OF MINE!! I don't suggest reading the old one as it was written several years ago and makes me CRINGE. Whether you're new, or coming back for the rewrite I welcome you! And enjoy!) !!Also this story DOES contain explicit nsfw after Chp 5!! (Cover art by: Elentori)Complete
Float
