I Bet the Devil Was Handsome Too

by Kenziekaddl

Modern AU: Pandora- A malicious, deteriorating state where murder is more common than a passing smile. A state in which Handsome Jack dictates and governs with a vice of a grip. As CEO of leading corporation, Hyperion, Jack is in control of every single life within Pandora's borders including our protagonist, Elizabeth; a floundering college girl who up until now never thought her life would amount to anything above the standard: get a job, get married, get kids, get dead. When the two cross paths and exchange hostilities, Jack hatches other plans for the girl.

Naruto (Anime & Manga)+1

Whispers of the Wild

by PaintedPlanet

Naruto isn’t the person everyone thinks he is. At least, not physically. He’s something tainted. Something wild. Something that would be feared, or even killed, if the truth ever came out. Unfortunately, his new roommate is Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke's the cold-hearted heir to the world-famous beast hunter clan. The same clan responsible for wiping entire magical races off the map. The same clan that plagues Naruto’s nightmares. When Sasuke discovers Naruto's secret, Naruto expects a blade to the throat or a stake through the heart. What he gets instead is something entirely unexpected: a friend. But Sasuke is hiding something too. And the closer Naruto gets, the more he realizes Sasuke might not be the brutal killer everyone believes him to be. Maybe the truth about the Uchiha clan, and about Naruto himself, is far more complicated than either of them could've ever imagined.

Enter Sandman - The

by meirkive

All Eislyn knew her whole life were the walls and paths of Fawney Rig, her uncles manor, never allowed to leave its Gothic confines nor walk the gardens without a chaperone. She grew up in richness, raised to be a lady, a noblewoman of the Burgess family, but a gilded cage is still just a cage.Controlled and abused for her mysterious ability by the same man that claimed to consider her his own blood, Eislyn soon found solace and a friend in another prisoner of the manor, the only being she felt could truly understand her and who wouldn't have betrayed her to please her family like everyone else.Alexander Burgess had her promise, as a child, never to enter the basement nor approach the eldritch creature therein imprisoned, lest it would have used her to take revenge on all of them, but freedom is too sweet a promise to let go and one captive couldn't seize it without the help of the other.He was her last hope as much as she was his, but what was to become of her once outside the confines of her beautiful prison?══════════════════You are now reading → Enter Sandman, The SearchNext in the series:Glass Heart, The AwakeningWicked Game, The QueenDark Matter, The Great War
