In the dim light of their cramped studio apartment, Mia tossed a crumpled paper at the wall, missing the trash bin by inches. Alex, sprawled across the worn-out sofa, barely glanced up from their phone.

"I don't think about that," Mia mumbled, more to herself than to Alex, as she contemplated the looming deadline of her art project.

"You don't think about anything," Alex retorted without missing...

She was foolish, wandering through these woods in that pretty red cape. The fae are looking for their princess, every creature knows this, and any girl they see is their target these days (even if the girl in question is nowhere near the right age — like this one).

And yes, they do have a way of seeing red.

I can see several of their shadows now, gleaming red eyes shining through the darkness of...

I don’t need the future to be like it is.

Not at all, not on my watch.

I saw what the future looked like with my own eyes. Destruction everywhere, everything was destroyed. Buildings toppled over with all windows cracked and broken, along with the streets crowded with car after car crashing into each bumper. Streetlights shattered with its glass on the ground, baseball bats and metal pipes nea...

“ ‘hurt’ is an emotion you feel when a wound bleeds. I already told you when we studied ‘pain’”

“I don't mind when my wounds bleed, it doesn't hurt.”

“It does for others. That's why you should never hurt others...”

He closes the dictionary with a thud, closing the memories that come from within.

“Mum, I'm getting out!” he says, unlocking the five locks and the door chain they've installed as...

Vanity, that’s what they call it. Is it vanity to want to be loved and remembered? Adored and obeyed? Needed? Wanted? Not swept aside? Not abandoned anymore?

They’ll love me as long as I’m beautiful.

The line I’ve been told my whole life. The line I’ve lived by my whole life.

Some say, no, people will love you for what’s on the inside.

Yeah, right. The only reason the King ever married me wa...

Shigaraki grumbled to himself, the big heroes putting on their dramatic show. It was a hostage situation, twenty five members of the public and ten bank workers held at gun point by two small shot villains no one had ever heard of. One of their quirks was reinforcement, the other was cloning. That’s why they’d called him in, although shigaraki was somewhat reluctant.

He wasn’t the most social of ...

I am one of many children. Let me talk about our Mother. She received us all together and from our first conception, she didn’t really want us. She saw us as a burden to her beauty. She hated our existence from what she was used to. Over time, she did eventually appreciate us as our erratic and venomous behaviour kept the men at bay.

Day in and day out, she would roam the halls feeling sorry for ...

*WOOOSSSHHHHH*

The tall, broad figure on the dust covered stage breathed heavily into the microphone. Sweat glistened off his shirtless torso as he breathed deeply and gripped the mic so hard his knuckles turned white.

*WOOOSSSHHHHH*

He shifted his legs, covered in flowing black pants and tall black boots, planting his feet firmly. Long black hair covered his face, veiling himself from the onl...

I’m only doing what’s good for business.

I help people, you know, I tidy up those who are messy, and I give those who feel down a reason to smile.

And whilst running my own business with all the best clients, spreading my name across all the popular ends of London, I am supporting others too.

So, if you ever happen to be near Fleet Street, why don’t you stop by? I’ll give you a beautiful new...

She has beauty

She has love

She is high

But I’ll rise above

Her skin so white

Her hair so black

Won’t protect her

From a hunters attack

In my home

My beauty was overlooked

And then I married a king

But now his daughter

Fairest of all outshines even the littlest thing

My father turned me away

What was I but a farmers child

My mother didn’t dote

Because I was just one

And the four beauties abov...
