    Cleo Anderson would rather jump off a cliff than ever have anything to do with her ex-best friend, Aster Blackwood. Once inseparable, their relationship has now become almost nonexistent. While Cleo's life orbits around the beauty of figure skating, Aster's world is a cold, precise one centered around being a chess prodigy. Their contrasting worlds only pull them further apart. They both claim they hate each other. Or maybe Cleo does. But Aster? His feelings for her are teetering on the edge of madness. --- After a trap set by both their parents, Cleo finds herself once again in the house of her worst enemy. Instead of the confrontation she expects, Cleo is met with his death-and the weight of every word left unsaid. Granted a second chance by Death itself, Cleo must save the boy she once knew from a path of destruction, all while slowly dying herself. ---- Warning: might make you cry by 2am in the morning, read at your own risk Updates every Wednesday and Saturday. --- Impressive rankings #2 in darkacademia

    Nel cuore di Boston sorge la Hawthorne University, una delle università private più prestigiose e inaccessibili d'America. Da oltre un secolo, i suoi corridoi hanno ospitato i rampolli delle famiglie più potenti del Paese: politici, giudici e uomini d'affari. Alla Hawthorne il cognome conta quasi quanto il talento. Simon Marlowe lo sa bene. Appartiene a una delle famiglie più influenti della città e la sua presenza nell'università è stata praticamente garantita ancora prima che sostenesse il test d'ammissione. Studia Criminologia, ma non ha mai dovuto dimostrare di meritare davvero quel posto. Simon è brillante, arrogante e apparentemente indifferente a tutto ciò che lo circonda. Peyton Langford, invece, è l'esatto opposto. Figlia di una famiglia senza privilegi, è riuscita a entrare alla Hawthorne grazie ad anni e anni di sacrifici. Determinata, intelligente e ostinata, Peyton ha un solo obiettivo: diventare una detective. E non permetterà a nessuno di ricordarle che, a differenza degli altri studenti, lei non appartiene a quel mondo. La loro amicizia sembra destinata a rimanere confinata alle aule di Criminologia, almeno finché, durante una festa nel vecchio archivio dell'università, Peyton non trova qualcosa che non dovrebbe esistere. Nascosto dietro una fila di vecchi registri, c'è un diario dalla copertina nera. Non è catalogato, non riporta alcun nome e, soprattutto, sembra essere stato scritto recentemente. Lavoreranno insieme o sarà la loro attrazione a dividerli ufficialmente?

    For a long time, Ezekiel thought that he's been bathing in the blood of innocnets for far too long to ever wash himself clean of it. Raised in the esteemed high society bloodline of the Hargraves, he has found himself disconnected from their ideals for years now. Meeting a vampiric heir from a similar family only makes him question more intensely- but at the same time, he has a debt to repay to his family. Torn between guilt and his wish for freedom, he will have to make a choice. I have marked the story as having its main genre be queer, but that is just because I didnt know what else to put there and all the main characters are in some way queer. It will mostly revolve around what is mentioned above, mainly the struggles of Ezekiel, with the queer elements only being smaller (but very important) parts of the plot and story. So dont be led astray by that, please. Tw Suicide, self harm, mentions of disordered eating, familiar abuse Inaccuracies in the story! (it has similarities with England i guess, but it isn't England because i can't ever research enough to not make mistakes when writing about a country im not from. So yes, if something is wrong then: 1) please tell me and 2)pretend its part of the culture. Maybe my fictional little hellscape has bread costing 30£, who knows, I certainly dont.)

    Y/n Y/ln, a telekinetic witch who is known for her infamous friendship with the golden trio, or in this case, the golden quartet. Over the past two years at hogwarts, they've been known to get into all sorts of trouble. But what happens when her relationship with Harry becomes a little more than trouble? This book is an adaptation of basically the same thing that I'd discovered I'd written a few years back. So, as a summer project of mine, I decided to improve it (or at least I tried to). This fic was inspired by many a fanfiction, and of course, the Harry Potter films. The first part takes place in third year, because obviously it'd be a bit weird to write about romantic connection for eleven year olds. So, I tried my best, please don't hate on me, this will probably flop because I can't write to save my life, thanks for reading.

    THE HOUSE AT BLACKWOOD LAKE Eight friends. One secluded mansion. A weekend that was never supposed to end in murder. Aaliyah Monroe thought she was going away for a weekend with friends. Nothing more. No drama. No responsibilities. Just three days at a beautiful lake house surrounded by nothing but trees, water, and miles of silence. Then, three days before the trip, Aaliyah receives a message from an unknown number: DON'T GO TO BLACKWOOD LAKE. She ignores it. After all, who could possibly know about their plans? But the moment Aaliyah arrives at the mansion, something feels wrong. The strange symbol carved into the gates. The locked rooms no one wants to talk about. The photograph that seems to have disappeared from the house. And the way everyone suddenly becomes uncomfortable whenever Blackwood Lake's past is mentioned. By midnight, the weekend has turned into a nightmare. Someone is dead. The roads are blocked. There is no way out. And somewhere inside the mansion is a person who knows exactly what happened. As Aaliyah begins searching for answers, she realizes everyone has something to hide-including the people she trusts most. Old friendships begin to fracture. Secrets buried for years start coming to the surface. And the closer Aaliyah gets to the truth, the more dangerous the house becomes. Because the murder wasn't random. The warning wasn't a coincidence. And whoever is responsible has been waiting a very long time for this weekend to happen. At Blackwood Lake, the truth doesn't stay buried forever. The question isn't whether Aaliyah will solve the murder. It's whether she'll survive long enough to discover why it happened.

    The Boy Who Lived is dead. The Dark Lord has won. Hogwarts is no longer a school of magic. Under the absolute rule of Headmaster Voldemort, the historic castle has been twisted into a brutal military fortress. Here, innocent children are stripped of their humanity and forged into a ruthless, brainwashed army known only as the Death Hallows. Stripped of their wands and their freedom, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are condemned to a brutal life of servitude inside the suffocating walls of Malfoy Manor. Their days are ruled by the Dark Lord's top executioner-the cold, arrogant High Reeve, Draco Malfoy. In a world built on ash and fear, survival is the only thing that matters, and hope is a death sentence. But shadows have secrets. As the lines between enemies and allies begin to blur, a quiet, dangerous rebellion begins to stir in the deep dark. Ancient, forbidden magic is waking up, anchored by a secret that could shatter Voldemort's regime to its very core. The Golden Trio fell in the forest. But the war is far from over. ************************************************************** A dark, high-stakes Harry Potter Alternate Universe focused on unbroken loyalty, genuine redemption, custom spellwork, and a slow-burn Dracuna dynamic.

    After a catastrophic event called The Bleach, humanity discovered that color and complex visual patterns could rewrite human memory. To survive, the city went monochrome - gray concrete, black clothes, filtered eyes. Art isn't just illegal. It's treated like a biological weapon. Wren Kastellan burns it for a living. Seven years as a state Restoration Officer, incinerating banned paintings behind color-blind filters, never questioning why the gaps in his own memory feel too clean to be real. Then a routine sweep leads him to a hidden door beneath the old university - and a reclusive artist named Cassia Marlowe, who's spent eleven years using forbidden pigments to restore the stolen memories of people the state erased. The deeper Wren falls into her world, the more he realizes his "perfect" past was never lost to the Bleach. It was taken. Deliberately. And the signature on the order might belong to someone he trusts with his life every single day. Some truths are the color of a wound closing. Others are the color of one finally being allowed to bleed. I put my hand on the door. Somewhere behind it, faint, I hear someone humming - an old tune, unplaceable, the kind of melody that feels less like something you're hearing for the first time and more like something surfacing. I open the door.

    Quod pingitur, manet. Quod celatur, clamat. Every autumn, the Ten Houses send their brightest heirs to compete in a centuries-old ritual of art, magic, and memory. Mallory Saint-Clair has no noble blood, no inherited magic, and no place among them. Nonetheless, she is the only remaining heir to the lost noble bloodline of her great-great-great-grandmother, whom she barely knows, and the only one who can represent her House. Until a forbidden Greek painting begins to weep blood and she discovers a third figure hidden next Orpheus and Eurydice. A figure whose face has been erased. Forced to work alongside Stellan Alexio DelaCroix, the academy's coldest and most brilliant heir, Mallory must uncover the truth before the ritual claims another generation. Because the students who fail do not die. They become ghosts, trapped with the memories of those who came before them. And the deeper Mallory ventures into the painting, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The myth was never what they were told or what it seemed...
