This book is a fanfic for the DreamSMP :] the main character being a self-insert I created! It focuses on the characters of Wilbur, Ghostbur, RevivedBur, Sapnap, and of course Tomura! The plot starts off at the moment C!Wilbur is killed by Philza and goes from there. Enjoy!!!!!!! Important Author Notes:1.) I will take my own creative liberties when it comes to the exact timeline of events in the timeline of the DreamSMP lore.2.) Not every character will be written exactly as they're portrayed on the DreamSMP as I'm not their content creator/writer and can't exactly copy their creator's headspace.3.) Tomura Mizuchi is a non-binary AFAB self-insert, their picture is at the top of this introductory chapter.4.) Every so often there will be changes in relationships between Tomura and characters, these updates will be made every so often after major events and changes in their own chapter.5.) There are two extra self-insert characters made by my friends to add plot flexibility, they're named Enid and Millie. They will not have full character information provided as they're not the main focus like Tomura is.6.) (Read 5) - Extra self-inserts may be added as time goes on, the permanence of these characters varies on the path of the story plot.7.) Lastly, I as an author will not be covering every single event that has happened in the history of the Dream SMP, only what applies to Tomura's character.Disclosure: I do not own any of these characters except for Tomura, Enid, and Millie. All characters belong to their content creators and the DreamSMP belongs to Dream.…

read the story here before reading this one http://www.wattpad.com/story/5420138-paradise-falls-characters-prestory I made some graphics: http://iworkdumbledoreswanddaily.tumblr.com/tagged/storyParadise is a prison set up of on an island off the coast of Texas. Because of its location, it means hardly any inspectors or observers come to visit, meaning they can do whatever they want. Under the control of the prison guards, of course...But even they aren't bothered. In fact, if its their time to leave, they'll commit a crime just to come back. However, no "simple" cases are accepted. For example, most people are here for murdering over 10 people, or robbery of the CIA... Even arson of the highest degree which ended in burns of 75%. They were lucky to be alive. The prisoners who currently reside here are: Rowan Evans, Zoe Leslie, Emma Topliss, Molly Graham, Vanessa Webb, Ava Stewart, Lily Gray, Olivia Cooper, Isabella "Issy" Jenkins, Daisy "Dizzy" Climo, Natalie Gwin, Stuart Harrold, Hoyt Simpson, Jayden Harris, Daniel Gray, Red Gray, Noah Collins, Mason James, Jake Turner, Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and the ten staff: Cassie Johnson, Emma Johnson, Addison "Addy" Anderson, Avery Johnson, Ariana Sanders, Cyrus Gray, Mack Louis, Christian Adams, Dylan Perry and Diego Hernandez. They boys and girls are supposed to be in separate buildings, but due to the staff quarters being mixed, the staff don't care. Visiting hours are practically for the whole day. The staff aren't bothered, as long as you 1. You don't kill anyone, and 2. You don't leave. The staff are as bad as the prisoners. Welcome to paradise.. Enjoy your cell.Disclaimer: The Paradise Falls Series is based on a Tumblr RPG. I don't own the idea of the island, but I do own most of the character's names. No surnames are the same as the original. All of the credit for that part goes to that. This story is based on my own ideas.…

Jin was born quite unlike most girls her age. And by that quite literally, was born unusually. On October 1st 1989, 43 women went into labor, though none were pregnant when the day first began. Jin Tan was one of these children. Born in a small city from South Korea, Jin's mother could not keep her, so she gave her away to a friend in America, where she was raised by her adoptive parents who treated her as their own. But although she was raised in an ordinary family, she was anything but. "I live in a city of wealth. A city of opportunity and a city of mystery. There are many things my unnamed city hides in the very roots of its existence. And although some curious men have tried to dig up as many of its secrets as possible, most will remain unknown long after we all perish. For now, I'd like to think of myself as one of these mysteries. My name is Leslie Lawson. I've lived in this city almost my entire life. My unnamed city that keeps its people in a hostages to an unwanted crumbling balance. There are those who wish to see our city prosper, and then there are those who want to see it burn. Two glasses of the same water, yet both contaminated in different ways, some visible to the eye while others hiding in plain sight. But the water is leaking, and the balance may soon cease to exist. And when that happens, I will have the best seat in the house to watch it all crumble."…

Isabelle Lewis couldn't remember the last time she saw her parents. In her point of view, her mother was gone for a short trip to the bathroom and her father had left to fight for the country. That fateful day would always leave her hanging of what she could've done to avoid where she was now. Well, where exactly was she? As silly as it sounds, Isabelle moved from place to place with the mindset that her parents are still doing what they were, and she was waiting for them to come and get her. She was waiting for her mom to come back from the loo and her dad to come back victoriously from the war. Perhaps she wasn't waiting at all. Perhaps she had convinced herself that her parents were out looking and searching for her. Perhaps she was waiting for someone else. But, then again, you can never be sure what happens next in your life when a handsome young man comes waltzing into your life, especially when he's looking for a professional cook to hire for the biggest event of his life... And you can also never be sure what happens when Isabelle does the stupidest thing she has ever done in her life. Her act seemed to have something to with becoming a 'professional' cook for a billionaire. With huge responsibilities, big parties, humourless laughs, unbelievable loads of cash, and a few fake identities, you can probably tell the outcome is going to be nothing but a complete mess. Or in this case, the richest mess ever made... Frequent updates.…

GREY: The Abridged Journals of Steven Harkey

After the war had ended, the words that you are about to read were recovered. Living at the base, soldiers, scientists, and officers were given simple training about displaying information. The way that this particular soldier writes is just how he interacted with people on a regular basis. Steven Harkey was the first human to prove that a piece of machinery developed by the top medical personnel could be used to make immortality, and suspended life. Steven survived the tests for ten long years without food, water, or needing to do anything nutritional for a diet. Steven survived, and was able to get up easily right away due to once every hour a day; he would go into intense muscle spasms to ensure that he wasn't losing his capabilities as a regular human. Steven was not informed about how exactly he lived through what happened due to the second part of project twilight was to see how naïve he could be. Why the head of medical thought it would be best to add this part to Project Twilight is unknown. It is important to remember that while Steven had training, he was never truly taught how to write. However, General Yule thought it best to drop hints about how to do it later on in his missions, so writing styles may vary journal entries are broken up into chapters for a more entertaining side of this story. Keep in mind; the journal writers might have tendencies to embellish. While they are honest people, sometimes it gets stretched and convoluted.…

Duchess in Distress

"I felt like I was the most hated antagonist, the other woman, third party, in a TV drama series-the nasty girl who shamelessly wrecked a relationship. I felt more guilty of my popularity when I agreed to be his fake girlfriend when now I knew the prince and another person had broken hearts.How far would I go to be the duchess of North Valley? Should I stop?"-----In the powerful country of Luvia, status is still important, and royal blood is still a thing. Nathalie Hendlefort, an 18-year old girl part-timer, claimed that she is a direct descendant of a duke, and her grandmother was a duchess before stripping the title from their family. Nathalie never experienced royalty, and she lived like a commoner until a prince came into her life.Prince Theodore of Luvia, popularly known as Prince Theo, is a crown prince who never thought of marrying anyone but his first love - a high-profile celebrity who did not come from a royal blood ancestor. His parents are against with him marrying a non-royal blood, but Prince Theo will do anything just to marry his present girlfriend even using a commoner like Nathalie Hendlefort.Nathalie only wants to return their family's title and her grandmother's name, and Prince Theo will grant it and make her a duchess once he becomes a king someday, but with only one condition: for Nathalie to pretend as Prince Theo's girlfriend in the public, while he is dating his non-royal blood girlfriend secretly.As fate and love find each other in every lifetime, will this finally be the start of their happily ever after?[UPDATES WILL BE POSTED ON SUNDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY!]…
