The Initiate (A Divergent fanfic) by FearlessAmity

A Divergent fanfic from Four's younger sister 'Sonia Eaton' POV. It is the aptitude test, Sonia is one of many 16 year olds taking the test to see where she belongs. She will eventually learn she isn't like most people and that she must keep it to herself. Her world around her slowly crumbling as she realises that people like her are being hunted and killed, she also has to contend with her older brother who abandoned her and the feelings she has for the boy who is from a rival faction but can she trust him? In a world that fears her kind. (The Divergent series and some of the characters in this story belongs to Veronica Roth. I own no rights)

Now following the 'Divergent' story, it's been two years since Amalia and Tobias learned that there was a plan brewing between Erudite and Dauntless; but the question was- when? Tobias wants to leave before initiation is over, wanting to take Amalia with him and take part in the uprising along side his mother. But Amalia can't decide what to do now with Abnegation transfer Tris Prior being an initiate. Yes, Abnegation is no longer part of Mal's life... but she feels an obligation to protect one of her own. Their own. Sequel to: The Damage

INCOMPLETE******** Tobias Eaton AKA Commander Four is tasked to investigate a woman suspected to have connections with a rebel group. The only way for him to now more about her is to move in as her roommate. His task is to move to keep an eye on her but the moment he laid his eyes on her ,he knew it was going to be difficult. She sure is 'Person of Interest' of his case but the moment he lays his eyes on her ,he is thinking about everything but the task at hand. The attraction towards his wildly beautiful suspect is undeniable.... Just when Four was about to close his investigation and declare her innocence and claim her as his, he finds out something about her that changes everything. Note: The Dauntless Roommate is a steamy, contemporary royal romance. I do not own any characters (Those rights belong to Veronica Roth). But I do own the story line and the extra characters that I may or may not add.

Everyone has there own secret's. Some people let others in, and some people shut others out. Everything depends on who you are as a person. Nobody know's what goes on behind closed doors, and I would like to keep it that way. But when a certain someone comes around and breaks down your wall, you know you will give in. That someone for me was least expected, in my eyes.

The Other Side of the War (Tobias Eaton X OC) by ViaxRose

"She was bred to be the perfect soldier. She doesn't blink, she doesn't think, and most importantly she doesn't hesitate. She just kills without remorse." Her entire life, Storm had only be one thing; a mindless soldier for those around her to use for their own advantage. She never had a choice, never had a chance to decide what side of the war she would be on. Since the day she was born she had only been bred for one thing, for one mission. Storm thought nothing could ever get in her way. But Tobias Eaton, a troubled soul just like she, had a habit of getting into the middle of things.

The Story On The Board: What's A "Fourth Wall?" (Book One) by gen3king

Have you ever wondered, as a writer, "what if I gave the readers exactaly what they wanted? What if I let them choose?" Well, in this world, readers work with vessels, using the power of control to manipulate the world. Their goal? To save the world. The question is, can they? Well, let's find out! Also, you're not the one choosing, you are an exile, an outsider looking in. Ready? Here we go! This isn't a story of action however, there's plenty of action, but that's not the point. This is the story of those within this world, and the consequences of the readers' actions. This is a story of people, fighting for what they believe in.

What if Tris didn't die in Allegiant but everyone else thinks she's dead. What will she do now that she has survived? Will she ever find her way back to Tobias? First I would like to say that I have no rights over the Divergent Series, it obviously belongs to the amazing Veronica Roth. I hope you all enjoy it, feedback and comments are very helpful!

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.
