Summary
I have known you through long yearning years;

Summary
An anonymous tip leads Leon Kennedy to London. The message included a set of coordinates, a payload, and a date for detonation and how. What the message didn't tell Leon was that the Prime Minister's daughter is a hostage and the “payload” for the radical faction. Nor was he aware they were using her as leverage for their sick, twisted game.
His contact for the mission: Elizabeth Dower - Former-MI6, turned BSAA agent who's been tracking the rogue faction for the last year, trying to pin them down. The "tip" is the first real clue she'd had in several weeks.
Due to the nature of The Collective, a terrorist cell known to the BSAA and the DSO, finding them is nearly impossible. But with the coordinates to where the payload is located, aka the Prime Minister's daughter, Leon, along with Elizabeth Dower, travel to Rannoch Moor in Scotland. They'll traverse the moor to Achallader Castle, where "The Collective" is hiding and where Gale Inglethorp is being held hostage.
It's up to Leon and Elizabeth to find Gale, destroy the T-Virus, and dismantle The Collective before they unleash the virus on the unsuspecting citizens of the UK.

Summary
Holmes gasped. Wordlessly, I followed his gaze.
At first, I thought all that I was seeing was the ethereal natural beauty of the loch. The silver bark of the birch-trees seemed to me to shimmer in the dawn light, and although beautiful, I could not understand why it had captured the attention of Holmes so. But then-
Much in the same way one's eyes become accustomed to the dark, become gradually able to make shapes from the gloom, so too did my eyes begin to comprehend. No, not comprehend- but see nevertheless. Surely it was impossible! And yet-
I could not tear my gaze away; it was magnetic, I was transfixed, and it was only through a lack of movement by my side that I knew that Holmes was similarly struck.

Summary

However, upon successfully joining their circles he has to realize that life is not as simple and writing something good is much harder than he believed.
Desperate to seek acknowledgement, he lands himself in the Forest of no Return. Little did he know that Mike Morton, a resident of the forest, is also working on turning his fortune around. -

Summary
The world had never been free of fae.
Humans learned to live alongside them, uneasy neighbors in shared spaces. Jaemin thought himself no different from any other cautious soul, lighting candles, leaving bread and honey, keeping iron near. When his research at the Scottish Highlands began, he found that some fae could not be kept at bay with offerings, nor ignored with closed eyes.
A story written in the form of academic notes and diaries, and then we dive deep.

Summary
The mainlanders say the island is strange.
They say that no one lives there anymore, but still, the ferries come and go, day in, day out, empty as ever. They say a Priest murdered a man there once, and the fishing boats are run by ghost crews. There's even a rumor that anyone that steps foot on the island will not return, or if they do, they’ll have been replaced.
Hunter knows these stories to be mere fiction—the truth is more terrifying than that.
The island of Graves Cay is infested with faeries. They hide in plain sight. They look like people, sound like people, act like people—but Uncle says they can never, ever be trusted. A faery made Hunter’s parents disappear. A selkie cursed his family name to ruin.
When a brush with death leads to his tentative affection for a faery girl named Willow, he must reevaluate everything he knows to be true. Nothing on the island is as it seems.
Not even himself.

Summary
“You’re excited?”
Rubbing his eye, he looked over his shoulder back to Kyle. The man sat on their small table, playing with his teaspoon. “What for?” Ghost asked, finally grabbing his black mug.
“New sergeant’s comin’ today.”
“What new sergeant?”~
"Supernatural beings were always assets on the battlefield, until they weren't. Ghost grew up with stories about mages and shifters, great battles, crumbling kingdoms, and defeated enemy armies. He himself became one of the most skilled and feared soldiers, a living nightmare. His name alone was enough to make enemy forces flee. But a life like that was destined to be lived alone. Or so he thought."

Summary
Cove will never belong.
The curse of the selkie: she's trapped between two separate worlds, hardly accepted in either. In the cold embrace of the sea, she yearns to stand on two legs and feel the sand against her flesh, but the feeling of being a human sickens her. Life is unbearable when conflicted. Her mother's colony has always been accepting when she grows tired of her parents and needs time away, but it's evident that she's not to overstay her welcome. Sometimes, she doubts that she'll ever find a real home.
She's always felt alone. Nobody has ever accepted her — until a scarred boy with a furry little problem comes into her life and begins to pick up the pieces.
