Title: Blind Sight Author: sukunami Format: Novel Published/Free: Free Length: 16 chapters + one short story Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Final Fantasy VIII AU fic Link: Chapter 1 + Edge of Freedom (Oneshot) Summary: A blind seer guides the 'Hero' through his destiny. Review: I've read and obsessed over this author's stories again and again in the past. While her works, in majority, are fanfictions, a couple of them can be read without understanding the fandom. Blind Sight is about swords, sorcery, destiny, misguided deities, magical bonds and two humans trying to overcome all that. Seifer is a pit fight rising star who unknowingly bears half the soul of Hyne --the god of light. Squall is a succinct blind seer who appears once in a blue day to save Seifer's arrogant ass from being mauled by a beast with a couple of cryptic words. When Seifer finds out that all of Squall's visions only concern him and his supposed 'destiny', Seifer makes a decision that drives them to travel together and unwittingly learns more about his seer.

Title: Eadoin Author: Edana Format: Novella Published/Free: Free Length: 127k Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: Attempted rape (does not go into detail, it just goes something like this>"and then I saw him get raped" ) violence, non-explicit sexual situations Link: http://fictionpress.com/s/769282/1/Eadoin Summary: Eadoin's perception of normal changes when he meets two angels, a demon, and finds out the 'truth' about his roommate. Review: I'll be honest, when I first read the summary I was a little reluctant to read it because the first thing I thought was “aww man, another cliché angel story!” – I was never so wrong in my entire life. This story was brilliant! I can’t say how many times I smiled, laughed and had to wipe the tears away. It was honestly beautiful, this story is far from cliché! There were so many twists, my jaw dropped countless times. The writing in general is pretty good, although I came across a few spelling and grammar errors, but who the hell cares this was too good a story to point out a simple spelling error!! But maaaann.. woah, honestly it’s hard to come across good angel stories, but this was pure heaven. I recommend you all read it, even if it’s not your cup of tea, don’t stop! Give it a try, trust me it’s worth it! (Original Post)

Title: Demon of the Underground Author: Shobana "Bob" Appavu Format: Webcomic Published/Free: Free Length: Up to chapter 2 Status: Wip Rating: Mature Warnings: Warnings on the website are violence, sexual content, and explicit language. Link: http://www.bob-artist.com/demon/ Summary: Pogo, a big-mouthed young thief falls through a hole in the ground and finds himself in a brutal underground world where survival is based on strength and intimidation. His only hope for escape is his telekinetic ability - and the help of a stray ferret named Annie. Review: Despite all of the warnings, this so far isn't a dark comic. What I've read so far is really funny. Pogo is witty and his meeting with Annie the ferret is what solidified my love for this comic. Despite having found it not more than ten minutes ago. The art is crazy good and very detailed. It's in grayscale with little pops of color (the reds of the blood, the purple under Pogo's eyes) and that makes looking at it interesting. And then there's the plot, which sounds fantastic. You can really tell she thought about the society dynamics. (Original Post)

Title: Mike Dies at the End Author: Shukyou Format: Short story Published/Free: Free Length: 11k Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Character death Link: http://s2b2.livejournal.com/61440.html Summary: Time travel and psychics collide. Oh yeah, and Mike dies at the end. Review: This is my favorite s2b2 story. What's not to love? There's a snarky narrator, dangerous and creepy sex toys, linguistics, the worst use of Schroedinger's Cat ever, and the author manages to pull off the have-sex-or-die plot. It's crazy and sexy and funny and short enough that you won't lose much time . . . until you decide to reread it. (Original Post)
