In a land of sentient nature and dragons blotting out the sky, the kingdom Esari is at war. Prince Sage is second in line to the throne, but when a rogue accident sends his elder brother and his dragon falling to their deaths, Sage has no choice but to accept the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Between forced betrothals and ceaseless attempts at forging peace between rival kingdoms, Sage is struggling to live up to his brother's title as next in line to the Esarian throne whilst grappling with an undeniable yet hopeless attraction towards the dragon-riding soldier Everett. Everett has been close friends with Sage and his elder brother Eris since they were children. But the tragedy of Eris' loss strikes the Esarian kingdom hard, and when Sage can only find solace in Everett's company, the soldier cannot deny his own attraction for the prince. Duty and honour are pulling Sage and Everett in different directions, and their bond isn't meant to last. The brightest flames burn the fastest, and the tallest trees fall the furthest. And yet, with a deeper conspiracy lurking in the cracks of the Esarian kingdom, Sage isn't sure who else he can trust. ───── • ⋆⋅⸙⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Ongoing Story length: TBC

Aria Reed has always believed in the little alignments of the universe. She's the kind of girl who still makes wishes on shooting stars, and who believes that even burned out light still matters. Locklyn Covey doesn't believe in any of that. He's seventeen, angry at life, and tired of pretending he's okay. When he's sent to live with the Reeds, his late mother's best friend's family, all he wants is to disappear quietly into the gray Oregon winter, but then he meets Aria, and everything changes.

Scarlett Brown arrives at Harrow Abbey with one goal: keep her head down. After a police raid leaves her family splintered and her old school behind her, she's meant to be grateful-a scholarship girl given a clean slate among the country's future politicians, athletes, and heirs. But Harrow isn't built for keeping quiet. It's built for loyalty and legacy, for golden boys who never fall and the people who circle them like satellites. Hugo Pratt is one of them-the school's star, adored, untouchable. Archie Stokes used to be the same, until something broke between them. Now one's the pride of the place, the other its scandal, and Scarlett, the girl who doesn't belong, ends up in the middle of a rivalry that runs deeper than anyone will admit. At Harrow Abbey, everyone's pretending to be something. And sooner or later, the truth always gets out.

[CAMPNANOWRIMO 2015. VERY ROUGH FIRST DRAFT. EXPECT ERRORS] When eighteen-year old scientist Natalia O’Rourke accepted a mysterious job interview as lab assistant, she wasn’t expecting the top secret facility. Nor the strangeness of her new boss, the enigmatic — not to mention surely mad — Professor Ingvar Alkaev. She definitely wasn’t expecting to find that her new job is what had long been her dream. She had given up on that when her mother had died. Two years down the track, she is a fully fledged scientist in her own right, running her own experiments and research. And this time, nothing was going to stop her, not even the experiment she was running. Known only as experiment 7a10n, he is the oldest experiment made by the professor. Used to perfect the testing procedures, he is now Dr O’Rourke’s charge. But nineteen years of being a test subject has almost broken him. What Natalia expects — a placid, obedient specimen — is not at all what she will get. He has bided his time long enough. With the arrival of the much younger experiment known as 8e11a, the race is on to escape — and do it alive. Highest Ranking: #366 in Science Fiction!

VILNIUS, SEPTEMBER 1987. Summer is over. The air smells of change and cheap cigarettes. Jake, Tricky, Fresh, and King stand once again before the gates of their high school: four friends bound by a forbidden passion - graffiti. Hidden in alleys and away from prying eyes, they paint dreams in color on gray walls, defying a world that refuses to change. Jake is impulsive and rebellious, and that's why he spent the whole summer doing house chores after getting caught tagging a wall around the city. Yutani, a year older, quiet and studious, watches him with a mix of curiosity and disapproval. He teases her, she corrects him - yet between them grows a silent connection, built on irony, glances, and half-spoken words in the school corridors. Meanwhile, Tricky keeps chasing her dream of becoming a dancer, Fresh hides behind his music, and King, increasingly weighed down by his family's financial struggles, starts missing classes to help his parents at their small shop. Days go by - lessons, small dramas, and secret murals painted under the cover of night. And in the air, they can all sense something dark approaching, though none of them can yet tell what it is. When the summer of 1988 arrives, the friends escape for a few weeks to Klaipėda, where Fresh's aunt Ella lives. There, among the beaches and the Baltic sunsets, Tricky meets Brody - a foreign boy who has recently moved to Lithuania after his parents found work in the coastal city. Between them sparks a brief, intense story, full of music, dancing on the sand, and whispered secrets. But as summer ends, Tricky and Brody decide to part ways, accepting that what they shared was just a moment in time. Meanwhile, King decides to leave school to help his family, promising, however, that he won't leave his friends behind. Jake and Yutani, between banter and small gestures, grow closer - close enough to care, but not yet enough to say "I love you" on the last day of school.

"Remind me again why I thought spending six weeks with a bunch of hyperactive, sweaty and supposedly 'musically gifted' kids was a good idea?" Bailey Cunningham has gone and taken the plunge - she's not only signed up for the job of a camp counselor at Triple Lakes Camp for Musically Gifted Children, but she's roped her best friend, Savannah, into it too. However, the pair really get more than they bargained for when they discover they'll be sharing their summer with not only the kids, but the guy who looks as if he's stepped out of an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog, the quirky brother, and the sugar-coated flautist who's way too sweet for her own good. In the midst of the madness, only one thing's for sure: Bailey knows absolutely nothing about music.

When everything changes and so does fate for Brett and Eddy, will things ever be normal again?
