The Curse of Macbeth
Augusta Paddock had fallen in love with plays when she had seen one for the first time at the age of seven. From that moment on she had vowed to be a playwright —or a broadway actress, or a director, but she was happy with either career. She spent her spare time writing play after play, not all of them the greatest masterpieces of the world.


After years of acting as crew, and the occasional understudy, she finally gets her chance to show the world what she's got. What Augusta wasn't prepared for was to be handed the nightmare of ever actor's dream as her assignment.


She didn't know why she had been handed the Scottish play but she wasn't going to let a silly little curse get in the way of her directing Macbeth and making it the greatest thing to ever grace a Broadway stage. She was going to make Macbeth go off without a hitch even if it killed her —which considering the bizarre things that happened around Shakepeare's play, was a very real risk— and no snot-nosed stuck up lead actor was going to take that away from her.


Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth
Anything else: i have an assignment due on monday and two essays to write why am i coming up with another story idea?

Irrational


There are only two facts to know for this story:

1: Kar and Juni live in the same apartment
2: Kar and Juni detest one another

The rest never stays the same.

There’s Calum, who lives with Luke, the both of them work together, and both of them end up infatuated with Kar. There’s Michael, who became a very close friend to Juni when they met in their music production class. Finally, there’s Ashton, who’s dated Kar for years. They have a solid, safe relationship.

Though all those things will change rapidly.

A tale of total chaos at it’s finest.


A story of love pentagons, sassy cats, and shitty, cheap pizzas (delivered by cute boys).

Anything Else: I'm writing this story with mar, and it's basically like a mexican soap opera with all the drama that happens. It's like one complicated love story where everyone's always changing their minds and no one knows exactly what they want. also pizza.

Baby Buddha

5 Seconds of Summer have been through a rough while. Their music is getting more and more commercial pop and the boys are not happy about it. At all. They've each got their own way of dealing with it but when things reach breaking point Calum, along with the band's manager, decide it's time for the boys to get back to their roots: real Punk/Rock music.

Alex Greenwood is 1/3 of punk's most up and coming bands: Burning Buddhas, alongside her sister, Tessa, and her sister's best friend since ever, Lea. Being the youngest in the band her nickname is Baby Buddha. They're all about old classic rock, punk, power trios and putting out music they believe in.

But what happens when the boys go live across the hall from them to work as their mentors and each of their problems start to arise? And Luke's a total asshole and she just wishes she'd gotten Michael, who is actually nice and has cool hair. And what if the girls are in deeper trouble than they look as well? Can they work out their differences to focus on the music?  Can three almost broken girls put one of the most famous bands in the world back together?  

Anything else:Yeah this sucks as a summary but it's just for you guys to get an idea of the plot... uh...sort of.... sorry....

Repentance.
(banner credit: seeingred)

After being kept in the dark about her past for so long, Brynlee Campbell finally manages to trace her birth mother’s name back to Fairfield, Georgia and immediately takes action, packing up her life in Seattle to move south for the answers she’d been searching for, for years. With her overly supportive fiance, Ashton, at her side, she finds herself in the heart of the place where her mother was born.

The town of Fairfield was beautiful; but Brynlee soon finds that the stories about it were not, and somewhere between the questions she had and the answers she was desperately seeking, there was Luke Hemmings. Young, reclusive Luke, whose twisted way of speaking and mysterious past pulled Brynlee in like the tide. Honest, serious, and a complete breath of fresh air, she finds herself sinking deeper the more she is in Luke’s presence.

But everyone has secrets, and Luke might just have the most of them all.

It’s sink or swim, and the water might be rising too quickly for Bryn to get out alive. After all, if the legends really are true, then her death has already been written by the ghosts of her own, unknown past.

Literally.

Anything else: I really have no idea why I decided I want to write a ghost story, but, here we are again.

Uptown Girl

Uptown Girl ; [adjective] 

      A girl who is rich and sophisticated- one who is used to the comforts and luxuries of life. 

Emmeline Hemmings was labelled as an ‘uptown girl’ the minute her socialite mother and the renowned plastic surgeon father announced her birth on July 16th of 1996 in Westchester County. 

Ashton is a fresh twenty year old and for the life of him, still can’t figure out what he wants to do and thinks he’s going to work in the backstreets with his best friend, Michael, forever while he dreams of attending NYU. 

A major AU where Emmeline and Lucas are spoilt twins driving a cherry red, 2014 Porsche Cayman and Ashton falls for an uptown girl.

Sisterly Love

When I pictured my summer vacation, the very last thing that I imagined was teaming up with the boy that I hated more than anything else in the world to piss off my evil sister and her stupid boyfriend that she wouldn't shut up about. 

It turns out, that's exactly what happened. And boy was it fun.

Anything else: i should be starting the fanfictions that i've already planned but instead i'm coming up with yet another idea that you probably won't see until around Christmas let's be real here. Have fun guessing which one is the mean sister. Also, the summary sucks.

Curtain Call
Luke loved music.

His whole life, all he'd wanted to do was make music. If he could make music for a living and somehow get rid of his fame, everything would be perfect.

Unfortunately, things weren't that simple, and being skyrocketed to fame at barely 17 years of age was beginning to have a negative effect.

It had been amazing at first – travelling the world with his best friends, getting away from home, not having the constant supervision of his parents and being able to do what he loved while getting paid for it. Of course, the girls who threw themselves at him were an added bonus, too.

Luke had been at the top for five years – but he felt like he'd aged twenty and although he'd loved every single second of it, he was just… tired.

And he didn't think he could do it anymore.

Anything else: It's a prequel to one of my other stories (Puppy Love).. obviously there's a girl involved in the story too omfg

Mature Adults

Deirdre Holt was trying to like Luke Hemmings. Really, she was.

As co-hosts of one of the most popular radio shows in Vegas, they had a good thing going for them. Even if she hated his distasteful humor and the way he looked at her when he thought she wasn’t looking, she liked that he was serious about their not always so serious job and the way that people seemed to like her just for being associated with him. He was slowly helping her climb the ladder to where she’d always dreamed to be in the business, but that was all he was: a tool to get her where she wanted to be. 

It’s all fun and games until they’re up for the same promotion. In Deirdre’s mind, she’s the one who’s earned it. Having worked for the station since she was seventeen, the position belonged to her and no one else. But with Luke as the front runner, she’s not opposed to using drastic measures to get what is rightfully hers, even if it means that he’s left with nothing at the end of it all. 

She didn’t expect it all to blow up in her face and, consequentially, upend her entire life. But they’re both mature adults, they can handle it. Right?

Anything else: blame Becca for constantly talking about Luke and giving me this idea. ((rude))

Her lips were always chapped, not that Michael ever minded. He always knew Ren was going to be his girl until
the bitter end; a less tragic, slightly more PG-13 Sid and Nancy. But that was the before.

Her lips were always chapped, Luke bought her countless tubes of chapstick that she never used. He said it
was like kissing sandpaper. But that was the after.

And somewhere in between, it all went to hell.

a story of then and nows, burnt fingertips, too many (or not enough) drugs,
and a couple of threesomes thrown in, you know, for good measure.

Anything else:

just douse me in holy water.

The Raven of Yesterday

It was no secret that the supernatural beings of Sydney didn’t get along. It had been that way for centuries.  

However, in Aita Zalot’s nineteen years, she had yet to be involved in their feud. 

That all changed on a rainy night in July when a blonde boy walked into her house with only the shirt on his back and zero memories of his life before.  

Suddenly, everywhere she turned there was evidence of magical interference. 

Hopefully her sparse training would be enough to get her through the most arduous months of her life.

 

Or the one where a girl has a lot of trouble understanding her feelings (and powers), a boy doesn’t know what’s up and what’s down, and they all argue with a group of shapeshifters.


Anything else:
yep another fic oops, ive been super into mythology and magic atm so this happened. i've already written the first two chapters and i like it. sorry bout the subpar summary
