Summary
Drafts of my upcoming slow burner debut!
Book 1 of the Temptress series:
A rural fantasy with eldritch horror🪽🏔️💠
_________
The mountains hold whispers older than the stars themselves, the sloping winds carrying legends of the nurturing elemental Goddesses and the onyx wings of their valiant Guardians from generation to generation. But are these tales truly just stories told to comfort children who fear what lurks in the shadows of the valley?After miraculously surviving the disaster that devastated their town, Dahlia moves to her late grandmother's rural home for a challenging recovery.
Filled with grief and denial, she still can't quite grasp what occurred the evening of graduation. Dahlia could have sworn she saw dark wings glowing through flame that fateful night.
From antlered beasts and whistling trees to onyx feathers and endearing whispers within her conscience, Dahlia's "hallucinations" begin to blend with reality, becoming eerily similar to childhood folktales, embarking her on a mystically thrilling journey to uncover the truth of the mountains.

Summary
Cerestes is a bounty hunter running from her raider and cultist-tied past. When she clashes with an Enclave agent who is questioning his world views not once - but twice, they must decide what their futures hold as they discover they are hunting the same target. Slowly they make their way through Burning Springs and Appalachia, as they come face to face with raiders, deathclaws, blood eagles and more, trying to untangle the threads of the woman's past. Her truth lies somewhere between love and betrayal, disbelief and faith and maybe even life and death.
WARNING : I do NOT shy away from sensitive/triggering topics, but I try to remain respectful with an end note of positivity.

Summary
She belly flopped onto the roof- no style points, but it worked. Besides, there would be no-one around to see at this time of night.
She was forced to revise that option when she looked up into a pair of glowing white eyes. The silhouette they were set in looked almost human.
Her breath was stolen from her chest when wings snapped open, blocking out the moon.
“Another? Like me?”
Shadow struck from those blackened wings, wrapping around her wrists and ankles, binding her tightly. The bag was snatched from her back and alarms started to blare from below.
The creature… the-the Bat-Man chittered, then vanished into the night.

Summary
This is just a bunch of mini stories I've been making! I'm not sure if I'll make stories based off of a fandom, as most I've made have been original works.
I'm trying out a variety of different genres, such as horror, fantasy, romance, etc. :D
They will all be age appropriate! ^_^
I may or may not do requests if these ever get popular idk -

Summary
Being so sure that the cold shadows that whisper in the corners of your room are far better company than the colder gazes of the people who should welcome you as their own. Sometimes being so delusional that you can't tell when someone is actually talking to you or if it's something else entirely that has decided that you were worth at least some kind of attention, rather than the brief looks others gave you, even if it came to cost you what little sanity you have left, if at all.
Lucky you, though, that you are left with more than enough to stay away from those who are supposed to love you unconditionally.
Days blur together, grey and monotone, till the day when, somehow, a red clown? barrels into your life and adds more color to it. -

Summary
A flyer. An audition. A number—42—that feels less like a place in line and more like a lottery ticket out of poverty. For Alastor, walking into Morris Studios is an act of desperate hope. Surrounded by a cacophony of competition, he waits his turn, clinging to the memory of his mother's face. But when the moment comes, the polished performance he's prepared crumbles. In its place, he offers something far more vulnerable: a simple, tender song, sung without pretense. The man behind the glass doesn't just hear a voice. He sees a worth Alastor has never been allowed to imagine. And in a single, life-altering handshake, everything changes.

Summary
He’s twenty-six and he’s bleeding out on the ground and he’s so, so cold.
But, he’s also twelve and he’s still alive. Still breathing steadily. There’s no blood leaking out of him. And he’s warm, body relaxed under the comforting weight of his blanket.
He sighs, world-weary and exhausted. Of course it didn’t stick. Only he would manage to screw up death. Again.
.................
Waking up in a different universe is supposed to be a sweet deal. Too bad nobody gave him the message. In a world of tailed-beasts and magical eye bullshit, Rei thinks getting strong without them is impossible. But he has to try. If only so he can mess with people and stay alive long enough to continue doing it.

Summary
This story is structured as a retrospective — pieces of Wendy Testaburger's media class documentary project, assembled alongside third-person narration, text message logs, and occasional footnotes from the camera operator (Kenny McCormick, posthumously credited). The footage was submitted for a grade. Most of it will never be shown to anyone outside of South Park, Colorado, for reasons that will become clear.
Eric Cartman was not present for any of it.
He did ask what he missed.
Nobody told him.I FORGOT TO POST CHAPTER 8, IM SO SORRY

Summary
Jaskier built his career on monster legends, travelling the country as the host of a cryptid documentary series, chasing things that probably don't exist into places he probably shouldn't be. Geralt is his bodyguard, hired to keep him alive through increasingly unwise filming decisions. What Jaskier doesn't know is that Geralt is exactly the kind of thing he's spent years looking for. As secrets surface and the lines between the job and something far more complicated begin to blur, Jaskier finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about the dark, and the man standing in it beside him.

Summary
All the birds are stressed and Jason can tell, but he doesn’t quite know how to fix it since he will be skipping Gotham for missions for a couple months. Then it hits him, maybe he does know how he can fix this. And sure maybe just maybe Dick gave him the idea by accident, but no way Jason would ever tell him that!
So Jason gets to work and just a few days before he leaves he saddles his motorcycle and speeds from his crime alley apartment to Bristol. With a short explanation to Alfred and a promise he wouldn't tell Bruce, Jason sneaks through the halls and leaves a red wrapped and custom made gift box at the foot of their beds alongside very clear instructions to be however pissed they want (and to fuck with Bruce), an address for a safe house loaded with weaponry and enough explosives and pyrotechnics to make firefly blush, and a pocket calendar with each week highlighted in a different color.

A Path Towards Abnormality by EmoCrystalRat
Fandoms: Original Work, A Path Towards Abnormality
15 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
In the fantasy/dystopian world, the government of Oushizolynn were having possibly one of their most important experiments yet: to bring someone from their parallel world, Aposthirum, into their world. Everything goes almost well, except that the person was supposed to land on the Palace of Orders but the experiment was nowhere to be seen
The test subject has been wrongfully transported elsewhere from the intended location and almost dies from the vile winter time before someone with psychic powers saves the child. The child, not able to speak despite being at the age of 10, is deemed as a possible risk of the collapse of the Oushizolynn society by Dictator IT, and will eliminate everything seen as a threat to his rule
(also, this may be a future animated show if I get lucky!)
