Have you ever seen shadows in the glass? A delay in your mirror? Have you ever written something off because it seemed too ludicrous or irrational?

What If I was to tell you...

That those feelings are echoes of ancestral knowledge...

Shades of suspicion, winding trails in dark forests that lead only to unwanted knowledge?

What if I was to tell you...

That all
Of it
Was real?

In Clever Reflections, Cinna and Salem are thrown into a parallel universe where everything is created by interpretation of individuals' perspectives, wants, wishes, and expectations. They must learn to navigate this dangerous new world and figure out some way to get back through the mirror. However, while they pass trials, dodge bullets, and daringly escape from tyrannical masterminds, they begin to wonder how different - and how alike - the two worlds actually are...

[updates every weekend-I edit my own writing, which works better some times than others, so I do apologize for any misspellings or faulty grammar-the cover is my own original art-don't steal that's just rude]

"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle. "I'm glad to share the same name as you." ~ A girl, a perfectionist, named Avery Jones has been in love with her childhood friend's brother for as long as she can remember. He's never noticed her, though, he doesn't really notice anyone. He's sort of an insouciant philanderer. They couldn't be any different, the only thing that connects them is their names. Oh, by the way, his name is also Avery Jones; no relation. As crazy as it might sound, it's true. Anyway, it isn't until she becomes his mentor that he finally sees her. But will this new circumstance spark a connection or show just how different they are?
The Mirror Seas [UNCOMPLETED] by SpongeGoesHard
29 parts Ongoing
The Mirror Seas are an otherworldly expanse that stretch far beyond the horizon, appearing at first glance like calm waters but, in truth, made of enchanted glass. Their surface shimmers and reflects the sky and everything around it with eerie clarity, as if reality itself is duplicated upon them. Beneath the glass lies the Mirror Realm, a dark and distorted version of the surface world where reflections take on lives of their own-sometimes twisted, dangerous, and independent. The seas are not static; they shift subtly, their glassy surface rippling like liquid in moments of high magic or danger. Sailing across them is perilous, as sailors often report glimpses of their reflections behaving differently from their true selves, or seeing visions of things that haven't happened yet-or perhaps, things that never will. These glimpses lure many to madness or worse. Navigating the Mirror Seas requires great skill and a strong will, as the deeper one sails, the thinner the veil between the two worlds becomes, and the more reality itself warps. Ships can get trapped in pockets where the mirrored world pulls them down beneath the glass, never to return. Only the bravest-or the most desperate-dare to cross these treacherous waters, seeking power, knowledge, or something lost. At their heart lies the mysterious source of the Mirror Seas' power-an ancient artifact tied to the lost race of **mirror-walkers**, beings who once ruled both realms. Few have ventured there and lived to tell the tale, and fewer still have returned unchanged. (This novel is heavily inspired by One Piece yk the Anime... or something like that)

As A Stranger Or A Friend?

46 parts Complete Mature

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*
