For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of schizophrenia and childhood bereavement.... more>>

Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, that is — self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician — and learns she’s not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits, and her twin sister who supposedly never existed could still be alive, somewhere Outside, beyond the walls of reality.

Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and danger. Sometimes the monsters wear nice dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes you find you have more in common with them than you think. Perhaps this is Heather’s chance to be something more than the defeated husk she’d grown up as, to find real friendship and meaning among things like herself - and perhaps, out there on the rim of the possible, to bring her twin sister back from the dead.

Katalepsis is an Ancient Greek word which means ‘comprehension’, or perhaps more accurately, ‘insight’.

Katalepsis is a serial web novel about cosmic horror and human fragility, urban fantasy and lesbian romance, set in a sleepy English university town.

"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (...probably?)... more>>

How would you react if one day you found yourself in an environment running on tropes and clichés?

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this rhetorical question became uncomfortably real on the day he woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic. Without memories, surrounded by characterless placeholders, and with a classic harem protagonist and his various love interests for friends, he tries his best to fit in and figure out what's going on.

That would be difficult enough already, yet his investigation into the rules governing the world, sabotaging the harem tropes, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes, ends up drawing the attention of the world's nebulous narrative...

Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters. <<less

A generation after the last Great War, the world prospers while leaving the BloodStar Empire sequestered and alone. However, things begin to change as the next BloodStar heir aims to make new allies in a world more willing to forgive her empire’s tragic past of violence. The beautiful and young Xenia BloodStar is a world-class beauty, a calculating politician, and an immensely powerful ki user. In an established world ruled by Master Families, will the Princess BloodStar use her beauty and power to elevate her empire on the world stage? Or will she follow in her mother’s footsteps of violence and war?... more>>

Release Schedule: At least one new chapter every Sunday at 9 AM CST. Thanks for reading :)

For those interested, there is an uncensored version (about 10% longer) with more sex and more violence on the Patreon (all posts are free and public). But be warned, if you know Xenia, then you may not be surprised to know she likes to mix her sex and violence together. If that's not your thing, then I'd stick to the story here on Scribble Hub which has 100% of the actual story and still has sex but is often abbreviated or less violent. Thank you all!

In a universe where the empires of many mortal races clash on the battlefield and angels, demons, Seiju (Holy Beasts), Hoshikuma (Star Demons) and all manners of beings clash in the shadows, there exists a planet called Saiten – the final haven.
It is that planet we find ourselves on when a boy who would one day become a harbinger of destruction takes his first step down that path with a discovery on a rainy day.... more>>

P.S. Each chapter will have a focus on a particular character with the main characters having the highest number of chapters focused on them. <<less

Binding herself to a monster was the only option Lyra had to save the woman she’d started to love. Worse, as part of the bargain it was ensured that Lyra’s magic, her soul songs, are cursed and sealed. To call on them without permission will inflict horrid pain that damages her soul.... more>>

Her new master is also the most gorgeous and terribly striking woman Lyra has ever laid eyes on, and this monster knows how to use that to break her new charge's will. Now Lyra must learn new ways to weave her magical songs into dark and agonizing melodies, else prove herself nothing more useful than a soul to be devoured.

What To Expect!

1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the worlds. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Her affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
5. Weekly updates, but also extra weekly updates because this writer has no self-control and needs help.

Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.

It's a recipe for disaster, a Slytherin love triangle with edges so sharp someone's bound to bleed to death.
Insidious secrets, broken hearts, a breakneck... more>> Quadrivial Tournament, a dystopian Wonderland, and the possibility of a whirlwind true love.
Beloved Emerald Princess of Ireland and Diamond of the year, Audette Bellarose, must decide and quickly, which noble suitor shall covet the immense honor of taking her hand?
British born dare-devil Draco Malfoy, or Italian sweetheart Theodore Nott?
Her father's enchanted monocle glows evermore crimson in the shadows as procrastination carries on, threatening certain annihilation.
And something else quite serpentine lurks in the darkness as well...behind mirrors, and within the sleeves of those most trusted.
Time is ticking: Audette is arguably late for a very important date. She's only eighteen, but will end up a dejected spinster in a few measly years.
However, having never had the chance to explore an identity outside of the pureblood court's deeply ingrained talons, suffocating corsets and strangling ribbons, she won't be much good at making this monumental choice for her future...that is, until freedom is first discovered in an unexpected form. <<less

In a dark future, the demonic Grim Horde rules most of the Earth, and Britain has just fallen. The last survivor of the island is the young wizard Soren Marlowe, the newest student at the Nagoya Academy of Magic. To all appearances, he is a normal enough young man, if a little girl crazy. ... more>>

Little do they know that he’s an exiled devil, one of the very same demons who helped destroy the fallen island! Now thrust into the middle of someone else’s romantic comedy, Soren will need to think fast to keep his secret and, just maybe, find a little romance.

Note: I used to have the mature tag on there, until it was pointed out to me that I would never have enough sexual content in the story to warrant that. <<less

Due to the Ministry's work in the manipulation of time, perhaps a single test that should never have been, or one that should have taken place. Whatever the small difference was, it unknowingly changed the timeline forever. A young wizard, growing up in a rich noble family of pure blood has been raised by his parents to be the perfect child. Obedient, Well-Mannered, and ready to take over his father's legacy of a potion's master in the Ministry of Magic. However, after a certain night, that young wizard's eyes were opened. With doubts of his teachings, he hid his real thoughts and opinions from his parents, sure they would punish him if he were to... more>> talk back. Now free of them after enrolling into Hogwarts, he needs only to graduate before he can disappear into his true passion of Magizoology.

If only things were that easy. Between keeping up appearances as a pureblood wizard in Slytherin, Discovering friendships, love, and finding his place in the war between good and evil there is no time to rest for Lucas Peterson.

I really disliked how all Slytherins were just 'the bad guys' in the movies I watched recently (Which this will be more based on, if you are hoping for writing as good as Harry Potter, You won't like my poor attempt). I wanted there to be more character growth in anyone from Slytherin, so I decided to make the story following the main timeline fairly closely. Please enjoy the life of a previously unborn child in the universe of Harry Potter.

Two Disclaimers! First, I do not own Harry Potter or this Thumbnail. Full Credit to the person or people responsible. (Look up Slytherin Wallpapers for thumbnail) Second, two of the female love interests will enter a same-sex relationship with one another. <<less

The final exam is over, and the study tour has begun.... more>>

Zhang Liu and nine school beauties take off on a plane together, but suddenly encounter a plane crash.

After that, a group of people had to stick together to survive on a desert island full of dangers.

In order to survive, the girls can only abandon their previous arrogance and begin to seek the power of the only man on the island.

Here there are not only the hardships of survival but also the collision of human nature.

Of course, the most difficult thing is to test the desire.

(This book has only one male hero, no other males, no goldfingers, no cultivation, no super piwers, it's just a story of survival in the wilderness!)

After learning about my girlfriend's infidelity, I got drunk and woke up in the world of the novel NC-17.... more>>

I became a character who is not even included in the extras of the novel — the useless and unnecessary daughter of the Duke de Valt. However, I didn't care about it, because I knew what this world was waiting for ahead.

Soon the Dallas Empire will be mired in chaos, and in order to survive it, I decided to sit quietly in the estate enjoying a luxurious life. Everything went according to plan, until one day I made just one fatal mistake.

A year after my rebirth, I accidentally found a girl in the forest. Out of pity, I sheltered her and made her my servant. We lived together until I found out that this is the main villain who was supposed to die at the end of the novel. But because of my interference, the plot of this damned book continued with me!

I urgently have to run! But where…?!

After all, this crazy woman is now stalking me.

«Where are you going, lady?»

— I… just went out for a walk.

— Take a walk? The border of the empire is not the best place to walk. Let me walk you back.

With the sword in her hand, I didn't have a chance to refuse.

Young Caleb is called to fight a war in a place he's never heard of.

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.

An enemies-to-lovers vampire romance... more>>

When the man I loved left me at the altar to run away with another woman, I thought there was nothing worse that could happen. I was wrong.

To save the family from financial ruin, my father married me to Viktor Volkov, a mysterious foreigner I only met once. I had to leave everything behind to live with a captivating but enigmatic husband.

Viktor's icy blue eyes were both alluring and intimidating, and despite the tension between us, I couldn't deny the attraction. As we navigated our complex relationship, the desire grew stronger.

One night, I made a shocking discovery in his bedroom: Viktor was a vampire. I knew I should escape while I could, but instead, I found myself longing for him to acknowledge and claim me as his own.

Could I really be in love with a creature of the night? If I fled, I'd lose the man I craved. If I stayed, I'd be forever changed. Would I resist temptation or surrender to my desires?

On summer break, her boyfriend Ben Stark (20) takes her on a summer long camping trip to his parents' vacation cabin in the northernmost part of the territory. Things take an eerie turn due to strange construction that forces them to take a detour down a long and dark forest highway rarely traveled. Ben plots the quickest route, and they take a highway that will get them where they need to go in the same time frame.

The eeriness only increases as Hannah feels like the forest is watching her. Assuming this detour would only add a few hours onto their trip. Upon traveling for several more hours, they start to notice things about the road they are on. The time they expect to reach the next city grows longer than expected. Mysterious obstacles begin to impede their path. Ben comments that he has not noticed another road since taking this detour, and the road seems to go on straight forever.

Stranger things occur whenever their RV stops for any amount of time. Nightfall comes as their journey draws on. It becomes apparent this route is longer than they had previously thought.

Soon she realizes the true depth of what is in store for her, as unseen forces stalk her. Danger lurks in every shadow. Hannah becomes plagued by what she could describe as hallucinations. Is her mind playing tricks on her or could what she is seeing is real? Whenever she is alone for the briefest moment, unseen and erotic shadows lures her into the woods.

Each time they entrap her a little more, as she encounters the dark creatures. Mysterious chances to her body become clear the longer they remain in this ominous forest. <<less
