Duskwood: Love's Beginning
Even in the darkest moments, the beginnings of love can be found. Jayna Chacon is stuck in a rut. Her job is interesting, but she doesn't have any friends or anything else she's particularly passionate about. That is until a group of strangers starts texting her, asking her to help find their missing friend. Shortly after a faceless man reaches out and starts giving her orders. As time goes on, Jayna realizes she's risking her heart, her safety, and maybe even her life. Disclaimer: This original work of fanfiction is based on Everbyte Studio's mobile game, Duskwood. I do not claim ownership of Duskwood or its characters, nor do I claim that this story is part of the original. As this is a fanfic, I also will not earn any money from this work. There is more development of the main character than in the game so that readers who aren't familiar with Duskwood can still follow along. This storyline follows the main character and Jake (Jake X female MC). I've also added in a few characters of my own, just to give the story some more depth. As this is fanfic, there WILL be spoilers, so if you plan on playing the game or haven't finished it, I suggest you do so before reading this book! The chapters go from the MC's and Jake's point of view, so they don't follow the episodes in the game (i.e. there are more than 10 chapters to this book).

The Wolves Of Twilight
["I stood there: waiting, wanting, hoping, feeling. Allowing the sensations of the world to consume me as I stared deeply into the pools of honey that were his eyes. I wanted no more than to dive right in. For him to hold me close and never let go."] La Push was a quiet town where nothing overly interesting happened. At least, nothing other than the rumors circulating Sam Uley and his alleged cult. But let's not get into that just yet, shall we? My name is Casey Apha, and no, I am not a girl, and this is not some romantic tale about how I found the love of my life. This is a story about the internal struggles of an average boy who suddenly became a lot less average and a lot more . . . interesting. A kid who was now aware of both the fact that he could phase into a giant wolf on command and how the sun reflected off of his best friend's eyes in a way that made them more valuable than any jewel in the world. With that being said, my life has grown to be a lot more complicated. The main source of my problems starting with those lusciously brown eyes that left me wondering what the hell I was thinking. And how in between the self-loathing and night patrols, I learned to love him and, most importantly, love myself. Follow along with Casey's story as he finds love, acceptance, and a place to belong. ~~~~~~~~~~•~○~•~~~~~~~~~~ (Embry Call x Male Oc) *Posting when I can* All original rights: Stephanie Meyer Casey and his fam: All me :)
In Plain Sight || Jacob Black
Bella never concerned herself with her little sister, especially not when she meets the love of her life, Edward Cullen. Isadora was fine with that, she preferred the quiet life she had even if it felt as if the only person who loved her was her father. However, when Bella becomes depressed and Isadora is recruited to drive her around to help her out, things go haywire. She never wanted to get involved with Jacob Black or his pack but when a rogue vampire almost kills her and Isadora has to come to terms with the fact vampires and werewolves are real, Jacob's long buried feelings are brought back up from his newfound shifting abilities. ~~~~ This is just a little fanfiction since I got into my twilight phase again and I need some writing practice. All characters belong to Stephenie Meyer except Isadora. P.S. Jacob will be aged up to seventeen in this story.
Falling Like Autumn
"Hunter Blackwood never thought much about death until it took something from him-something that made home feel empty, even before he left. Now, in a new country, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he's haunted by what he can't forget. Moving to The United Kingdom was supposed to be a fresh start, yet all he feels is emptiness-until he meets her. A girl with golden-brown eyes and a teasing smile, someone who makes him forget, just for a moment, the weight he's been carrying. She speaks in riddles and knows things she shouldn't, and yet, she's the only one who makes him feel alive again. But as their connection grows, Hunter wonders if she's a figment of his imagination, a manifestation of his grief-or something.

Paranormal Romance (Werewolf) You know that movie Jerry Maguire? It's about this sports agent who got fired for suddenly having a conscience. Anyway, there's this very romantic scene by the end of the movie when Jerry made this very heartfelt and passionate declaration to his wife. Those words would melt you into a puddle and make you burst into tears thinking, "I want to have that kind of love!" Well that very sweet scene did not happen on this story, not all of it anyway. Don't get me wrong it was heart wrenching, very much so, and there was a passionate declaration. But instead of saying the oh so loving, oh so sweet and oh so scripted "I love you. You complete me..." like Jerry did in the movie, my 'mate', the other half of my soul and the one who 'completes' me said, "I hate you. I wish you were dead!" He said it with disgust and anger burning in his eyes. He didn't run into my arms like he was supposed to, he ran away from it. But who could blame him? Jerry Maguire was right. We live in a cynical world and we work on a business of tough competitors. Why would my mate want to be with me? He'd be shunned and be forever laughed at. Aside from the fact that I was male, I'm basically useless to him because I'm a werewolf who can't phase. He's an alpha. He could have anyone he wants. And me, well, I'm on the bottom of the pack, the runt of the litter. The council didn't know what to do with me. They couldn't kill me since it could drive my mate insane, even if he didn't want me. I can't kill myself because it would probably have the same effect on him. I have to live but I can't be with my mate and my pack. So I made it easier for everyone, I ran away. I always believed in the saying "Out of sight, out of mind." What I didn't consider was the possibility that they'd come after me and forcefully bring me back.Complete

I am not making fun of the fandom or the canon in any way shape or form (●'◡'●) I did actually read the first book. Or at least I listened to the audio book. This fic takes place at the end of the first book, right at the end of the school year in June and over the summer)Complete
