I’ve grown up reading romance books and I think I might know every trope out there. I never thought stuff like that happens in real life though. That was until the past year or so. I’ve witnessed or been a part of a few of those tropes which I find bloody insane. So I figured I’d share a bit of that with you! Some of these are changed to fit a story line but all are based of real events! Names are changed though.

❝Dear agony, I feel nothing anymore.❞

TW: suicidal thoughts, child abuse, bullying

After reconciling with one another, Kota Mizushiro and Akiko Chisai are back again. With getting to know one another again, will they ever stay strong with each other?

Steven was not expecting to be in a zombie apocalypse. He and the rest of his friends managed to survive when most could not. After help getting rejected from the CDC Foundation (Centers for disease, control, and prevention), they along with the help of famous military personnel that served his country, the world of Andle, will have to research in an attempt to try and find a cure while most importantly, trying to survive. Everything doesn't make sense anymore; zombies, plants with eyes, black holes, and the largest crack underneath the ground that anyone had ever seen from a mere earthquake. With the world slowly collapsing from this apocalypse, Steven and his friends will have to break through the barriers of being a high school student and save the world before everything is too late.    -Written by- Lucas.K (Cyan_Grass)  -Main Editor- Kieran.S

Megan, a struggling student, has to navigate the magically-induced pitfalls bringing a genie to high school causes in order to keep her life from spiraling completely out of control.

Sitting at the bus stop late one night, Megan comes across an old bottle. When she opens it, a kid her own age appears, ready to grant her whatever she wants. So, she wishes to be popular – what could go wrong?

As Megan's life takes a drastic turn for the better, she gets a little cocky, agreeing to let the genie come to school. Before she knows it, he's worming his way into every part of her life: he's in all her classes, friends with her brother, and getting invites to hang out with her friends. But once she starts spending time with him, Megan finds she has a new problem. Despite her best efforts, she's starting to see him as almost a friend. But can she really trust him?

Not a villain. Not a brooding love-interest. Just a normal, high school vampire. As a vampire, Anna knows about hunting. She knows how to find isolated prey, how to put people at ease, how to leave no trace behind. What she doesn't know about is high school. Students don't pay attention, her English teacher repeats the same lesson for days on end, and why does she seem to be the only one not bolting for the door when the bell rings? With one friend who's obsessed with vampires and another who's not quite what she seems to be, Anna has to learn the rules of high school fast if she wants to remain undetected. As attacks throughout the city increase, suspicions mount. Anna tries to go unnoticed, but when her newfound friend sets out to prove the attacks are being caused by a vampire, Anna is left to wonder if her dark secret will be discovered. And what will happen to her if it is?

An early childhood friendship ended too short. Hikaru Akai now finds herself trying to remember what happened 10 years ago. And figure out who this ghost is that's following her around.

Although Kota Mizushiro, and Akiko Chisai are back together, this tells the story about the harsh reality of what lies on the other side. Like their counterpart, Kota is known as Kaito in this universe while Akiko is known as Airi.

Kaito Mizushiro and Airi Chisai were lovers but as one of them got too attached, one of them got friendzoned. Despite the ongoing tension and the complication of being friends, Kaito still loves Airi, however the latter doesn't reflect back. What will happen next?

Ray has one goal in life; to survive long enough to age out of the foster care system, and she has been using her unique Gifts to keep any unwanted attention off of her for years. Not only is Ray trying to avoid her foster mother, but has also done everything in her power to stay hidden from the supernatural world that she belongs to. What will Ray do when the local clan of Valkyries finally discovers that she has been hiding right under their noses?

Female Valkyries are so rare, they are only found within the ancient royal Valkyrie lines, and males out number them 500 to 1. What will the Oakland Clan do when they discover a very rare and very powerful female Valkyrie in their territory?

This is a supernatural slow burn reverse harem novel.

For many years, the concept of those outside of what humans call the otherworldly and themselves has been distinctly muddied. Some would say the rise of organized religion pushed the margins away from what lurks in the shadows. What emerges is to truly be hidden away from prying eyes as if to preserve the unity that is distinctly human and not. Now however that begs the question, are witches considered human? There are many ways they are stripped of such privileges. There are many more ways to identify one in the public. As those who ask remain unquestioned, one must say...Who is doing the asking?

It's the end of the world and creatures haunt the streets, cloaked in shadows.

This is the story of a high-school marching band trapped in a zombie-apocalypse after their competition bus crashes, forty-six miles away from their home town.

|ACT I · 7X FEATURED|

Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.                                                                                                          ***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...
