Eighteen -year-old Lydia Brynner wants nothing more than to hang out at Kingston University's science lab so she can study genetics and the side-effects of the Daemon Virus. She may not possess super powers like some other students who have inherited the virus over the centuries, but what she lacks in genetic mutations, she makes up for in tenacity and geekiness.
Unfortunately, her perfect study plan is thrown off course when she is assigned to apprentice - aka *babysit* - the recently enrolled "Chosen One," a ridiculous girl more interested in partying her way across campus than attending class. Lydia might not understand all the details about the Chosen One's Medieval prophecy, but she definitely knows that the spoiled Krisette de Winters certainly won't be miraculously curing any diseases anytime soon.
But when a new strain of the Daemon Virus infects a few students on campus, Lydia's job as Kris' apprentice becomes a whole lot more complicated with the arrival of her overbearing bodyguards. And just when Lydia finally feels like she's (mostly) got things under control, her best friend, Liz, is infected with the D-Virus. Terrified for Liz and determined to help, Lydia jumps into hyper-drive, researching every angle of the mysterious virus strain.
As campus locks down around them -- parties cancelled, classes postponed -- Lydia discovers the truth isn't in how the virus is spreading -- but who is spreading it. Someone infecting students on purpose could only have one target: Krisette, the Chosen One, goddess reincarnate of the prophecies. This outbreak is morphing into something much bigger than Lydia could have ever imagined. Unsure of who to trust, Lydia races to find the culprit before the virus consumes her friends, her school, and her life.

Prophecy | George Weasley (COMPLETE)
"I like you George, but I can't" "Why not?" "Because I'm going to die" •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Astrid is not your typical Ravenclaw. She doesn't study, she isn't smart and she has gotten stuck out of the Common room way too many times. George Weasley fell for the girl the moment he saw her but what if that wasn't the first time he'd seen her? Or even fallen for her? Every story has a villain. Without a Villain there's no hero/ heroine. In this story our villain isn't a person but the concept of death itself. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ A/N I FOUND A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BOOK ON PINTEREST AND TUMBLR. Unfortunately I couldn't list them, I'll try my best to give credit to as many as I can.

Livinia, a Faerie healer, joined the Human side of a Vampyre war in Nival to avoid scandal and the captivity of an arranged marriage. Upon "Liv's" return to her icy homeland, she gets put into real chains. She may have leverage, but it's not something that will set her free, at least not quickly. The Nightcaster Court is treacherous. They are rich, haughty, and omnipotent, but they haven't been hostile toward Faerie-kind since the "Vale of Tears" earned its name. It was before Liv's time, but it isn't any wonder why her people fled Crystal Hollows at the first sign of crisis. Liv can try bargaining for the freedom she never had, but, as a rule, the Nightcasters are fickle and cruel. To complicate things further, there's Corbin, the ailing heir - gifted, powerful, grateful for a second chance. He's everything his family is not, but a Vampyre is still a Vampyre, and love isn't love if there are chains attached to it. | ONC2025 Shortlist | - Now a "complete" full-length novelComplete

Gemstone Academy
My eyes finally adjusted and I got a good look at the guy. Holy shit, he was HOT. He rivaled Lazarus, and that's saying a lot. He might even be more attractive than Elridge, wait no, I wasn't so sure about that one. Anyway, he had blonde wavy hair, milky skin that was clear from any imperfection, and he was tall. He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that was fitted so you could see his muscles. There was something off about him though. Oh, I know what it was. His eyes were bright purple. Then he blinked and they were sky blue. What the...? Maybe it was just a trick of the light. ----- Elizabeth Huntress is only second in line for the crown for her country, but she wants to be queen bad.

Til Death Tears Me Apart Once Again [Discontinued]
"If I'm going to die anyway, there's no point in trying to live." A typical reincarnated into a villainess story, except the protagonist isn't your typical 'I want my happy ending protagonist', but a death seeker. XX 《'Til Death Tears Me Apart, I Will Always Love You》is a very successful otome game. As much praise and admiration the game recieves, it is also, however, notorious for being absurdly difficult. One wrong step and the player would be drowning in an ocean of death flags, for both the Heroine and the Capture Targets. Anything short of perfection wouldn't even get the player a glimpse of a happy ending for the Capture Target the player chose. Enter me; Just a simple, normal girl reincarnated into a game as dangerous as that, as the villainess no less. Destined to die no matter what, I think there's no point in me trying to fight fate. If I'm going to die regardless, might as well die sooner rather than later. But that desire for death causes more than just a few changes to the definite plot; From little ones that have no effect at all, to life changing ones that may destroy the world of Arraxus. So the God of the world makes a deal with me: They'll give me a peaceful and happy afterlife, as long as I get a happy ending for myself. "Let the game begin!" -- Discontinued.Complete
