    Summary

    For as long as (Name) can remember, ghosts have followed them.

    Not the dramatic kind from horror movies they were just lingering souls, quiet shadows, and forgotten people standing where no one else could see them.

    It made childhood lonely. It made adulthood strange.

    Now working as a barista in a small café on the edge of town, (Name) has settled into a routine of ignoring the dead and focusing on the living.

    Until a traveling circus arrives.

    The Horror Freak Circus.

    Its performers are extremely odd though good looking. Its atmosphere feels wrong. And among the crowds, a silent clown with black vertical slits makeup keeps appearing at the café.

    But what truly catches (Name)'s attention isn't the clown.

    It's the beautiful ghost following him.

    A ghost with stitched wings.

    A ghost who never stops staring.

    Summary

    Trading her freedom away for the safety of another, this book loving woman finds herself in a strange castle, guarded by the castle’s inhabitants. Unbeknownst to her, these four have another fate in mind for her… they’d agreed to her deal in hopes that she could break their master’s "curse".

    With a heart as firmly guarded as their realm, the dark beast that reigns over the castle is resigned to a future alone and unloved. With a job as nasty as his self image, there’s no way this kind stranger could ever care to look upon him… right? Can a caring hand light a fire in this realm of permanent midnight?

    A tale as old as time, told in a new way.

    Summary

    It had no eyes and was licking his forehead, the flesh was torn from what had to have been the sandpaper-like surface. Blood was dripping down his face, onto his white shirt and what my mother would have called a smart sweater vest. I look to the floor and it seems blood trails over it to the point I can practically retrace his steps through the store. He had to have come in recently and he had to have been bleeding the whole time just based on the wound on his head.

    The creature (Beast? Curse?) didn’t have any arms and was wrapped around his neck like a python trying to choke out its prey. The mouth didn’t have any teeth and was just gumming this guy's poor head. Applying minimal pressure to the outside wounds and making more blood dribble from it. It squirms around the man and drapes its body over different parts of him as it wiggles, squirms, and moves in an unnatural way.

    What the actual fuck?

    Or Reader stumbles upon a curse, becomes a Vessel, and chaos ensues.

    Summary

    A minor glitch in the system—that’s all it had been. A wrong string pulled, two souls that never met, a story unfinished. Realities that never converged, stories unbalanced and altered.

    Love and Deepspace, a mobile otome game where players can choose between five dashing gentlemen, all so unique and special in their own ways. Where you play as the main character, a young huntress in the depths of betrayal, experiments, and a world set out to get you. Where your past isn’t really yours, and the men are a lot more than what they seem.

    Or well—that’s how it’s supposed to be. Except a glitch happens—a soul doesn’t meet in the past, and reincarnation simply ceases to exist. Where one character never met their past lover—their future love. And so fate does what they do best—which is to rectify the mistakes of the past. And it starts…with you.

    Summary

    While at the West Coast Tech library, you discovered a note hidden inside an ancient mythology book. The note that listed your hometown, Gravity Falls, as the number one site of supernatural phenomena in the world, was written by the very mysterious professor who had first founded your course — before disappearing many years ago. Following the old HUMI 610 course syllabus, one summer, you returned to Gravity Falls to complete a research project, investigating the phenomena described by Dr. Pines, in a town you thought you knew too well.

    Summary

    You thought you worked at the castle as a servant for the royalty of Khaenri’ah, and you had five hundred days’ worth of memories to support that.

    Your reality is quickly shattered, however, when you find out you’re essentially living in The Matrix, and escape it only to find out that you’re on the completely wrong planet, in someone else’s body. If you are to find a way home, you must uncover the secrets of your past, but answers will not reveal themselves so easily. In fact, it may take centuries.

    To survive in this new world called Teyvat, you ally yourself with witches and meet gods and mortals, experience war and peace, feel freedom and pain, and learn about life and death.

    You can only hope that by the end of this long journey, you won’t lose yourself.

    Summary

    Lily's mother pushes her to sign up for her school's upcoming camping trip. Lily, needing time to get over the fact that her father ghosted her, again, decides to give it a shot.

     

    She was far from pleased, given the long bus ride, the stuffy cabins, and the inedible food. But at least she has her friend, Julie, with her.

     

    And also the various figures in the woods that followed her around sometimes.

     

    Fun.

    Summary

    Life can be harsh. Sometimes it's the routine, sometimes it's unexpected events.

    Seeking comfort in materialistic things is normal. But you? You decided to spend your sorrow into an incompleted visual novel called "The Freak Circus." It was silly, you knew that, but would you stop? Hell, no.

    In fact, you couldn't even count how many times you replayed the game, over and over again, just to pick the same ol' known options. It was pathetic. Nothing could replace the fulfillment it gave you, but soon the hole in your heart started to form again.

    Oh, how you wished you could oh-so suddenly wake up within the game. A place to start a new life, one where you wouldn't have to face your real life struggles, and not to mention meeting the characters you loved... But that's just an absurd dream to keep hidden inside a drawer somewhere.

    And it sure was absurd, but alas, it wasn't a dream anymore.

     

    or: you isekai into the tfc story as a separate character from the player entity. the story now depends on your free will, but you decide not to draw too much attention. despite that, dynamics change, things get layered, and unexpected things happen...

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher who has, by your reasonable estimate, never once clocked a flirtation in his entire life. He explains photosynthesis by analogy. He bikes to school. He wears science pun t-shirts.

    You have been winding him up for eight months. You have been doing it for the love of the game. You have been getting away with everything. Then he figures it out.

    And it turns out he is significantly better at handling a brat than you had budgeted for.

    Summary

    When thrust into a world unknown, one is expected to panic. To spill everything they know to secure a chance at safety.

    But when this protagonist is thrown in the fray, they keep their wits about. Because unlike many others, they know there is no second chance. The world is unforgiving, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. And with the knowledge of the game bestowed upon them, who are they to decline this hand-fed opportunity? They will plan; they will lie; they will exploit every advantage given to them to get what they want.

    Though, when thrown into the hands of the Fatui, they have no choice but to play along. Perhaps it's not all bad though, for there they can finally find like-minded individuals. Might as well thrive in entertainment than drown in protective monotony.

    Summary

    You meet Simon through an old friend of yours, Raphaela, who happens to be his neighbor when your friend decides to have a party…Feeling relaxed thanks to the alcohol, you go over and introduce yourself. You let him know you realize he probably wants to be alone and you respect that. You even offer to help him leave and make an excuse for him.

    He pulls up his mask revealing nice pale pink lips that sip his beer before replying with a small smile. “Nah vanks, luv. Told ‘em I’d be ‘ere.”

    You smile and nod, “Yeah, they can be quite coercive when they wanna be and then make you feel guilty as fuck if you leave or don’t show, but they’re a great friend otherwise.”

    He shrugs. “Nah worse van Johnny,” he replies and nods over to Johnny, another new acquaintance you’ve made. He’s rather loud and a bit brash but rather funny and charming.

    ”Mind if I join you?” You request permission.

    He pulls a chair up almost against his seat and motions for you to sit. You sit down and lean back. Simon manspreads in the wooden chair and you sip your beer trying not to giggle. He glances at you. You shake your head.

    Summary

    You took a second to look at Leon, the blood around the corners of his nostrils from earlier had dried and crackled. “You’re pretty cool.”
    Leon blinked slowly like he was clearing a screen in his brain, “You don’t hate me anymore?”
    You leaned forward in your stool toward the man, "I never hated you. Honestly,” you were close to him now, “I had no opinion about you.”
    ---
    You work with Leon at the DSO, although "with" is maybe an overstatement. You work in the science department, seemingly have no friends, and don't talk to anyone. Leon is busy sleeping with coworkers, ignoring his demons, and avoiding you at all costs. All of that changes after an unexpected run-in at the club.
