**Cover done by @victoria_arose ** !ONC Ambassador's pick! Angels are good and demons are bad. Right? Perhaps Terra just read too much into stereotypes, though. For as long as she could remember, her guardian angel, Marvik, was anything but holy and innocent. If it weren't for the demon on her other shoulder, however, Terra would have to agree with those stereotypes. Marvik and Sazorac did their honest best in leading Terra through life, but they didn't always advise in an ideal way. All she wanted was to make it through college and find a decent job. Through every step of the way, with her two relentless supernatural overseers, progressing forward each day was as treacherous as the last. ------------------------------ Based on the Open Novella Contest prompt #47: An angel obsessed with chaos and a law-abiding demon debate over who's good and who's evil. As you might expect, that debate gets out of control.

With her past still haunting her, it's not as simple as pulling the trigger. The one thing she can't do is admit her father was right.

[Novella Edition ✧ First Draft] This story has been reimagined as my project "Every Glistening Night." This version will remain up, however, I highly recommend checking out the newer one, since it is more representative of my current writing style. Light shines down from the heavens, illuminating the Earth below. But every so often, a beam falls down from above. If you know how, you can catch it. If you don't, you destroy it. And when you collect enough rays of light, you hold the power of the sun, moon, and stars in your hands. Only one has mastered the art. Only one can capture the precious light, and spin it into ethereal thread. Her name is Celisae. In order to solidify an alliance for three tribes, Celisae is asked to weave three dresses, one of sunlight, one of moonlight, and one of starlight. There's only one problem - Celisae is not a weaver. Written for the ONC 2020.
