Being Indigenous in a world that feels like it just wants to forget about us is not an easy life. We are a protrusion to a society that only wants to look forward toward progress. We are a hindrance to the goal of expansion and development. We see what others wish to be blind to. It is not our fault for the way we choose to exist. It is not a sin for us to be who we are. This is us in all dimensions of time. Past, Present, Future. Understand that we do not hate the world, nor anyone in it. For it is the opposite! We still love this world. We will defend it with everything we have and are, even if you will not.

Give me shelter by SabastianStefano
21 parts Complete Mature
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.
Society, Me and Life: The Truth by idkhttybimysm
56 parts Ongoing Mature
You have a right to feel the way you do. You have a right to keep things private or to share and speak about these experiences to others. No matter what you choose, it is your decision to make. However, do not let your fear dismiss the truth. Do not believe the lies you constantly tell yourself to ignore the pain you are feeling. Do not let the sum of someone else's trauma silence you.
The Elemental Seven: Nature Lives by TheElementalist-2019
31 parts Complete
The world around us can be diverse in so many ways, but sometimes the most diverse way is a way we may never have known possible. And that is a secret that will soon be revealed as once it's been made known the world around you may never be the same again. Our tale begins with the seven, a group of ordinary teenagers, but the difference is that they'll soon learn that they are far from ordinary as their destinies have been in creation before they were even born. Darkness will descend and life will be lost, but when time is a measurement of life the seven will soon discover that their lives are only just beginning. With secrets and mysteries hidden by the ones that they loved, they'll find that the problems of daily life are nothing compared to that of an Elemental. But with a tale like this, which is only just beginning. A single question remains to be asked. 'Would you learn even a single secret and still believe it?' Only you can answer that.
Reincarnated ~ A Modern Newsies Au (Nowsies) by VaquitaLibra
54 parts Complete
Some people believe in reincarnation, others don't. But past lives are real, as this group of teens in the 21st century will soon find out. For they are the reincarnates of people who lived a hundred years ago, in 1899. They keep having weird feelings of dΓ©jΓ  vu; dΓ©jΓ  vu that's increasing. As they struggle to navigate their lives as high schoolers, they search to find out who they were in the past, and what all of these things mean when it comes to their identity and who they are. None of these characters are mine. Rights go to Disney. The story idea and story alone are mine. Please, no homophobia, transphobia, slurs, profanities, hate, etc at all times.

"Are you sure you were attentive while signing the contract? Were you sure that this day would be the same as the previous ones, because you followed what was happening? Strange, then you would have noticed how something is poured into your glass of water. Forget about former life and do not interfere with our work."

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united
33 parts Complete
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.
