《Adopted By My Chemical Romance》Chapter 23
Advertisement
I saw her hooked up to the machines that were keeping her alive. Her organs failing to keep up. Her body as thin as the day she left but her face as beautiful as it could ever be. Slowly disappearing. Mikey and Gerard stood slightly behind me in each other's arms and Ray in the corner.
She'd managed to hang herself after purging again apparently. That's what her clinic said. They couldn't have done anything to stop her from falling. But that was my girl. Now she was disappearing. I just wanted her to fight but could she?
The monitor went off. Her heart was failing. Doctors filled the room and Gerard said something but I didn't hear what he said. Mikey grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. My heart had finally been broken again.

I shot up in my bed sweating. Everything gonna be okay. She was okay. She was gaining weight and she hadn't cut in a month. She was okay. She had to be okay. Maybe 1 more month and she'd be home. Then it would be her seventeenth birthday.
I checked the time. 11:30 am. Bandit would have woken me up by this time but maybe she went to someone else for once. I got out of bed and went straight to my closet. I took the hoodie she always wore and my tightest jeans that Gerard used to love that still get a stare whenever I wear them. Out of my drawers I took clean underwear and a Iron Maiden tshirt. I got changed slowly as I knew this would be the most interesting thing all day. I went into my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I was unhappy. Missing her. I went to grab the aftershave that I loved like I had every day but yet to remember she had it to remember me. Instead I grabbed the piercings that had been collecting dust on the side. I brushed off the dust and put them back in, wincing at the pain. Then I smiled. If she saw me now she'd be happy too. She liked my smile and I like hers. I grabbed the razor and the shaving cream. I rubbed the cream over and began shaving away the beard that had been growing since she had left. Soon enough I was me again. The My Chemical Romance me.

I left my room and slowly plodded downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and the juice before pouring myself a glass. I picked it up and turned to the side as I normally do. Just as I began drinking, the front door opened. In came Gee with Bandit in his arms. Then behind them a girl. A healthy looking one pulling a suitcase with bright green and blue hair. She had my tshirt on.
"Hey Frankie. I'm here for 3 days."She said as she put her suitcase down. I went over to her and instantly engulfed her in my arms. She smelt of me too.
"Hey doll." I whispered in her ear. My Doll was back. My last young renegade heartache.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What?
Description An Isekai-Oriented LitRPG lite, Game of Thrones type (HBO version) set in alternate-Italy during the Renaissance. Warning! This story contains strong sexual themes. Most of it is incidental sexy stuff as opposed to romantic. There is also some sexual violence and themes of revenge and trauma. Synopsis Moments after being born, the cambion began to grow at an alarming rate and everyone wanted to kill him. He knew there was much he had forgotten... he had a life before. He longed to remember it, but the memory eluded him. Truly, this was a fantasy world of might and magic, but it felt familiar somehow. At any rate, the first priority is to survive. And that meant finding something to eat... Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What? is a story about an outworlder main character, who (as of this moment) discovers he absorbs the powers and aspect of that which he consumes through his devour ability. There are a number of other interesting characters you get to meet as the political landscape is unveiled. Bonus! You are encouraged to post comments regarding what you would like to see show up in future chapters! I would like this fiction to be shaped in large part by reader input, so please don't be shy! Thanks for reading this and hope to get to know you through the comments! Oh, and be nice! What I'm posting here is basically a first draft. If anything important in the early chapters gets edited I'll let you know in the author comments. Your feedback definitely gets weighed to help make the work better.

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
