Sebastian 'Bash' Walker is a partying Good-Time bloke who landed a full ride scholarship from out of The Bush of the outback in Australia to Magnolia Falls University. Magnolia Falls is located in Cajun Country, Louisiana USA where the food is hot, the weather is humid, and the gators have the right of way. 

However, one fateful night before Spring Break has begun MFU's Bad Boy meets a 'stunner' and the rest of the night is history- forgotten history, that is. Bash awakens with a hangover from hell and his hands covered in blood. He also learns, the 'Stunner' he took to bed the night before has been found dead in the Bayou.

How will the Good-Time Bad Boy cope with the realization he's killed a woman? And how will he react when her identical twin sister comes to town deadset on answers for why her sister was killed?

Follow Bash and Aspen and try to guess what happens next as the Tarot Cards predict the dangerous tales of the future.

SHIDDAT: A Tale Of Passion And Devotion by sunshinekiso

"SHE FELL FIRST BUT HE FELL HARDER"-an intriguing twist on a classic trope! What happens when the girl is just as obsessed as the man? We often hear about male stalkers, but let's flip the script! Imagine a woman with the same intensity and passion. If she embodies traditionally masculine traits, what unique qualities do we give her? Let's explore the depths of a woman's desire and see how high her passion can soar! ♡♡ • 𝖇𝖋𝖋'𝖘 𝖘𝖎𝖇𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝖗𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖈𝖊 : A tale of unexpected love • 𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖑𝚢 𝖎𝖓 𝖑𝖔𝖛𝖊×𝖔𝖇𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖘: One loves deeply, while the other remain unaware. • 𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉𝖘 𝖙𝖔 𝖑𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖗: A journey from friendship to something more. • 𝖍𝖚𝖗𝖙 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖙 & 𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖎𝖈 𝖕𝖆𝖘𝖙: Healing through love amidst past scars. • 𝖕𝖔𝖑𝖆𝖗 𝖔𝖕𝖕𝖔𝖘𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖘: A clash of personalities that ignites passion. 𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖞 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖋𝖊𝖒𝖆𝖑𝖊×𝖉𝖆𝖗𝖐 𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖉 𝖍𝖔𝖙 𝖒𝖆𝖑𝖊: A dynamic duo that challenges norms.

Emotionally scarred, he has built walls around his heart, showing little regard for anyone else. His journey is one of struggle, as he grapples with his feelings and the fear of vulnerability.

May [H.S] by starry-nights-

May. The story of Meg and Harry continues; sweltering summer of 98', except this time around it isn't dewy Sunday mornings, lingering caramel cuddles, and the avoidance of pure love. It's darker, older this time. Broken cigarette buds, a dusting of fresh gunpowder still in the chamber, and dripping syrupy lust. Our story takes place three years after the events of Magnolia in May. Perhaps there is still a fire smoldering between the two, the right person at the wrong time. But maybe that's all optimism, a foolish fairytale. Even so, Meg and Harry are deemed to inflict destruction. "Do April showers really bring May flowers?" Qui vivra verra. *THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO MAGNOLIA IN MAY*

The 9 lives of Cats and Gods (Merry Men Book 1) by kullman

What if you had nine lives to get it right? Sebastian Blake, a veteran of the foster care system and isolated genius, is weary of a cruel world where crime goes unpunished. So he hunts serial killers in his spare time, picking out details the police over look. And now the trap is set. Sebastian has nine suspects to put behind bars, and he's about to set everything into motion. Let the games begin. Robin has been on the run for years. He's three false identities deep and he has no intention of going back behind bars. A masked vigilante by night, he spends his days learning to assimilate to society while hiding his real identity, a sociopathic killer who avenges the weak by mercilessly executing criminals. There's no way anyone will see through his clever disguises, will they? Basically I wrote this because I wanted it to feel like a Netflix original series you become emotionally invested in, binge until two am on a Saturday, then try to convince people to watch because it wasn't necessarily the greatest thing out there, but it was definitely decently clean good fun. Trigger/Content Warning: Violence, teenage characters discuss former trauma to include sexual assault. This is brief. Some on page brief violence. Some brief teenage sexuality.
