"Hey, Morgan!" I heard Drew as the hoedown came to a close. "Hey. How did I do?" I asked as he came up to me. "How did you do?! Morgan, babe, you killed it up there. There's no question on how you did." Drew said. "Well, I was just afraid..." I began. "Don't be afraid. Morgan, you are great. Amazing. You are a star." Drew encouraged me. "I just wish Kennedy could have been here." I said, sort of saddening the mood. "Well, I may or may not have recorded your performance and it may or may not be on its way to K's email right now." Drew said, his famous 'I'm awesome and I know it' smirk. "You did? Thank you Drew." I said. "No, thank you, Morgan. The Hoedown wouldn't have this great without you." Drew said, pulling me into a hug. As I hugged him, I saw Finn watching us, his smile no longer on his face. What was he sad about? Me hugging Drew? I then felt Drew's phone vibrate in his pocket. "Ooh, I wonder if it's him." He said, breaking the hug to grab his phone. As he opened the text on his phone, his face lit up. "Missing you babe. College stinks without a sexy beast like you cuddling with me." Drew read the text aloud. "Jordon?" I asked, as I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist. "Yeah, he's the best boyfriend ever. I miss him so much." Drew said, making the body behind me finch. "See you later M." Drew said, eyeing the boy behind me, winking at me then turning around to walk away.
"Boyfriend? I didn't see him as gay." I felt Finn whisper in my ear. "Well, Jordon is pretty hot. And seeing you staring at us hug makes me think you like that Drew is gay." I said, turning around in his grasp. "What?" Finn asked, a very light pink color coming to his cheeks. "Oh, don't think I didn't see you. You were hating his guts because he was hugging me." I said, pulling a smile to his face. "What can I say? I was just wishing I was in his place." He said, making a blush come to my face as well. "Before you go, a drink for both of you." Drew said, coming up with two drinks in hand. "A chocolate chip frappe for the rock star and a caramel macchiato for the British cutie." He said, handing me the drinks. "Thanks Drew." I said. Drew then softly elbowed Finn. "Do her good, ok?" he said, slowly walking away from us. "Well, are we ready to head out, Miss Rock Star?" Finn asked. "I'm ready." I heard Jack say from behind me. "Yeah. Let's go." I said as Finn's arms left my waist. We quickly left the café, running to the truck through the rain. We got into the truck laughing our head. We quickly drove home talking about our favorite moments of the night. As we pulled into the driveway, Dad appeared on the porch. "You've got 3 minutes to get into this house before Mom gets at you." He shouted over the loud rain. We raced out of the truck, laughing once again as we got inside. "Get ready for bed kids." I heard Mom say as we entered the house. All three of us climbed the stairs to our rooms, water dripping from our bodies.

Just as I grabbed my bedroom door handle, I heard a "Hey." from behind me. "Yeah?" I asked which ever twin it was. "Goodnight Morgan." Finn said, his perfect hair falling wet in his face. "Goodnight Finn." I said with a smile. "Sweet dreams!" I heard Jack shout from inside their room. "Goodnight to you too, Jack." I said to him. "You did great up there tonight." Finn said, walking closer to me. "Thanks." I replied. "And to think you weren't going to go." He said with a smile. Finn then reached out to tuck a piece of my wet behind my ear. "Thanks for tonight. I can now be certain that this summer will be my favorite." Finn said, making me blush. "No problem. Remember, you're not just here to work on my farm." I said, using his words once again. Finn chuckled and shoved him hands in his pockets. "Goodnight Morgan." He said again, walking backwards to his door. "Goodnight Finn." I said, before opening my door to go to bed.

Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

8 202Inertia
A man is summoned to another world by a goddess after completing the nigh impossible final boss of a game. However, this world isn't your typical fantasy world. Though it has magic, it is set far into the future where technology reigns, and magic itself is just a finely-tuned science. How will our hero survive in a galaxy that looks down upon humans? One where his race, which once reigned supreme, is treated like trash along the roadside. Will he, with his diverse crew, be able to save the galaxy while fixing the hostility between the races?

8 91The Tale of a Fenrir
Zack was average. The only thing that can be considered abnormal was that he lacks the empathy of a normal human. One day, disater struck and his home burned down. He fell victim to the flames and died. But that isn't the end of his story, as for an unknown reason he was reincarnated as a little puppy. Watch him as he uncovers the truth behind his reincarnation. Don't expect much from the grammar, because english isn't my mother tongue (but please be free to point out major grammar errors). The Cover also isn't mine, so if you are the drawer message me, if you want it to be removed.

Why!? WHY!? As his body turned cold, Kan was left with regrets and unaswered questions but he resisted. He didn't want to die with regrets so he fought against death. He stood up and faced off against the hungry predators. He laughed and laughed in the face of death but in the end it didn't matter how much he struggled.
