Summary
Wilbur nods, and tension seems to fall from his shoulders. He adds after a moment, “He stabbed the serpent a few times. Then it… ate him.”
Tommy looks up in surprise. “Do you think it might have died?”
That shifty look crosses his face again. “Anything’s possible, I suppose,” he says slowly, “but either way, the fact that we’re talking right now is proof that you don’t have anything to fear from the creature.”~ 🐍 ~
The village Tommy grew up in was located in a beast's territory, a man eating serpent's. Isolated from the world, all he's ever known is loneliness. When he's forced outside the safety of the town walls he meets a stranger who claims to live beyond the village. They become fast friends despite the fact that the man is clearly hiding something - but can you really blame Tommy? He's never had a friend before.
OR: Wilbur is a lonely monster who grows attached to a lonely Tommy. Surprise adoption!

Summary
“ Somewhere in the Midwest, there’s this town called Veil Haven. Where people go absolutely insane.”
In 2011, Serena Davis moves into Veil Haven with her aunt after being sent away by her parents - a secluded ‘small’ town in the midwest, where purple skies and ‘hallucinations’ thrive. Her new home is anything but normal with cryptids, hidden sights, and mysteries that all seemingly connect back to her missing sister.
***
A very self indulgent script formatted series written by two teen authors, Star (a schizophrenic black person who also has AUDHD) and Feathers (a Filipino) because we wanted to see more stories that included people we usually don’t see in media.
An example is Serena, the main character, who has paranoid schizophrenia. When people think of schizophrenia, they tend to imagine somebody violent or dangerous, which is often far from the truth. Serena is kind, brave, and compassionate, and while her disorder impacts her in a stressful environment, she isn't alone. There's no violent voices in her head or demons possessing her. She is not defined by her condition, and if you have schizophrenia or similar disorders, neither are you. - Star

Summary
New, New-Yorker Ray Cooper has just moved to the small town of Raven brooks in Missouri, she doesn’t expect much from the town she has been unceremoniously dumped in by her parents who feel a change of scenery will make her ‘well-rounded’ as an individual- she doesn’t expect much, maybe home cooked pies and suburban bliss- not expecting its population of cryptids to be too much of a problem, the world having adapted itself to its inhabitants both human and not.
But this town doesn’t seem as peaceful as it lets on; as strange things begin to happen, animals freak out, and an arson accident no longer matches up. Dark things hide beneath the surface of this town, and it’s up to Ray Cooper and her ragtag team of friends to uncover them.

But years later, another mystery, in the form of a dead body sitting in the morgue, brings them back together. And while they know how to handle the mystery, handling each other requires an entire skill set they have all ignored since the end of high school.

Summary
Chester stood in the darkness, sweat clinging to his skin.
His chest rose and fell with uneven breaths, each one catching painfully in the back of his throat. For a moment neither of them spoke.
The silence stretched between them. Then Chester laughed softly. He didn’t know what else to do.
“Tell you what,” he said at last, voice rough around the edges. “We could’ve had a good life together.”
Parker’s shoulders tensed. He stood with his back turned to Chester, hands shoved deep into his pockets as though holding himself together required the effort. For a long moment he said nothing. Then he let out a quiet breath.
“I wish I knew how to quit you.”
The words landed between them like a confession. Parker never turned around. And somehow that hurt worse.

Summary
A flyer. An audition. A number—42—that feels less like a place in line and more like a lottery ticket out of poverty. For Alastor, walking into Morris Studios is an act of desperate hope. Surrounded by a cacophony of competition, he waits his turn, clinging to the memory of his mother's face. But when the moment comes, the polished performance he's prepared crumbles. In its place, he offers something far more vulnerable: a simple, tender song, sung without pretense. The man behind the glass doesn't just hear a voice. He sees a worth Alastor has never been allowed to imagine. And in a single, life-altering handshake, everything changes.
