Atlas. Ask anyone who lives there and they'd say it was the most idealistic city to ever been built. The epitome of peace. But that peace is cracking slowly, the tension is rising and the thin veil of so called peace is being pierced by the threat of rebellion.
Ashlynn-Rose Bloodsworth isn't who she claims to be, but no-one questions what they don't know. And as a citizen in Atlas, she has been promised safety. Let's be honest, Ashlynn was never truly safe, and that becomes more apparent after her mother's untimely death.
When the boy she had only seen in her troubled dreams shoves her into a whole different side of Atlas, she comes to terms with who she really is. Magic, mystery and secrets are what this reality is made up of, and Ashlynn willingly accepts the challenge. It's time to reintroduce the suppressed side of modern day society. The mythical, the magical and the supernatural.
Book one of The Secrets of Atlas series.

Warning; this book will contain strong language and the mention of suicide, cutting and a short indirect story of rape, read at your own risk.
Anything in this story is completely made up by me, if anything or anyone resembles an object or person in real life it is by complete chance.
This will also be a bit cliché, if it resembles any book in reality then it was also a complete coincidence, unfortunately, I haven't read every book in the world, I'd love to be able to do that.

NOIR - [Fred Weasley]
"Nothing was ever given to me. I've had to fight my way to survive. I was thrown to the wolves, yet I came back leading the pack. I'm as smart as the devil and twice as pretty. You think you can break me? You can take everything away from me and I'll still fight to survive. Because there's a fire within me that will never rest. It shall never dim no matter what you do. Because I learned how to light my own fire, how to be my own queen."

To the Stars and Back
Seventeen year old, small town girl Atlas Greene has had a tough past. Her mom died five years ago which led her dad to become a violent drunk who abuses her. As the summer approaches, Atlas finds a job so that she can go to the University of Louisiana to get away from her dad. When she finally lands a job at a family business, she meets Sawyer-the older son of her boss who takes immediate interest in her. Sawyer is attentive and silly and everything Atlas needs to forget her home life. As they start to hang out outside of the workplace, secrets are revealed and her heart opens up. But she doesn't want it to. Atlas tries everything she can to stop their personal connection. Will she be able to face her reality or will she feel trapped forever? ••• disclaimer concerning my newfound imposter syndrome: •Everything from Atlas's name to the plot being similar to novels written by Colleen Hoover are entirely coincidental. The plot of this story has always been the same, but I gave Atlas her name long before I ever even heard of Colleen Hoover.Complete
The Domestic Dragon
[COMPLETE] [[**Sequel, The Hybrid Harold, is up!**]] The first generation past the war has settled and the result is something no one from the past would recognize. In the United Human Alliance, the human run country that takes up much of the land mass that used to be the United States, magical children are taken from their parents and sent to boarding school at a young age. What provides humanity with safety from 'volatile' magical beings separates parents from their children and young adults from their culture. Alenia Paetzold is the prime example of what the UHA has created. A domestic dragon. That's why they never expect her to find her wings and burn the cage she is held in to the ground. Getting there, however, takes a prophecy, a lot of lies, and overwhelming love. "For The War Is Lost if They Can Not Win Their Child's Life Lost for Their Sin" ***OMG IT GOT TO NUMBER 1 IN MATRIARCHY!*** ***AND #4 IN FANTASY-ROMANCE!*** Trigger Warnings: Death.

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
Tell Me Pretty Lies
From the second you're in this world they tell you what is fair. What questions your allowed to ask and the ones you can never dare say. I find it damn near funny that most of you are reading this and know exactly what I mean. They put you on the path they've paved for you as kids we don't question it or even wonder if it's right for you. But beyond your paths edges is a land made up of risks and dangers. You feared it they tell you no good will come from it but how do you really know? Truth be told I was the girl who had her whole life planned out for her, straight A's, best friend, and two loving parents. I know what I wanted what I needed and I knew how to fight like hell for it. There's a reason why everyone prefers pretty lies over the bitter truth and it's usually because they can't handle the truth but I think the most likely thing is they can't handle what happens to the person once the truth comes out that's what happened to me. I was happy the way things were and then one day everything blew up in my face. Maybe the happy girl I was would have been happy living a lie for the rest of her life but no matter what the truth always comes out. So I ask you what would you have wanted the bitter truth or the pretty lie?
MAGIANIMA // Hermione Granger
Atlas Magianima Black. Daughter of a famous Auror and an acclaimed Serial Killer, gifted with abilities far beyond her years, but, like most good things, there came a catch, one Atlas had been paying for since the day she was born. The name Magianima and the curse that came with it being just one. Basically, a Harry Potter rewrite but from an OC's point of view. Obviously, I don't own Harry Potter, and of course, she-who-must-not-be-named is the rightful owner. I just like to sh1tpost. POA ~ DH (Many, many, chapters ahead) Cover art by me.
The Anchor Of A Time
A tale where destiny, dreams, and storytelling collide. The Anchor of A Time is a deeply moving story of love, loss, and the courage to chase dreams. It follows Haroon, a young man shaped by tragedy yet strengthened by quiet resilience. Since childhood, he has found refuge in storytelling-building worlds with his pen long before the real world offered him a place to stand. Encouraged by his closest friends, Haroon sets out to pursue writing. But his journey is guided by a single missing piece from his past: Saina Aunty, the woman who once protected his childhood and vanished from his life for years. Determined to find her, Haroon and his friends embark on a heartfelt journey to Denmark, leading to an emotional reunion that changes them forever. Just as Haroon's first novel reaches readers, fate opens an extraordinary door-a personal letter from Ray Bradbury, inviting him to America. Suddenly standing among literary legends, Haroon must choose between the world he always dreamed of and the village that shaped his soul. This crossroads forces him to confront ambition, identity, and the sacrifices behind every dream. Amid this turning point, Haroon discovers a new creative calling: manga storytelling. Drawing from his own struggles, he creates The Last Anomaly, a gripping saga set in a world ruled by supernatural abilities. Its hero, Kael Vardhan, is the only one born powerless in a society where strength defines worth. Mocked and underestimated, Kael refuses to accept the fate handed to him. With nothing but intellect, strategy, and unbreakable will, he carves a path that challenges the very foundation of his world. Blending emotional realism with epic imagination, The Anchor of Time and its embedded manga universe The Last Anomaly form a powerful narrative about resilience, identity, and the stories we build to survive. A moving novel. A visionary manga. A journey of a boy who became a storyteller-and changed his own destiny.Complete
