"he looked at her like he just realised what love is" As a student of Hampton College, it's easy to feel isolated, cut off from the rest of the world. This is only one of the reasons Henry Winter loves it. Ever since he's been able to form memories, Henry has felt... numb, in a way. The world around him has always appeared uneventful and dull. The one thing he finds a sort of comfort in is burying his head in studies of the ancient. Now, in his second year of college, he's planning to do just that. But suddenly, something shifts when he meets Odette, a young literature student with her heart on her cheek. Henry has never before been much interested in romance. Not that he was particularly against it, only that he had never met anyone who interested him enough for him to actually consider it and he didn't expect to. That's why he gets profusely confused when he can't seem to stay away from this seemingly ordinary, uncomplicated girl. Still, he feels like he's been throw into a play and given the role the lovestruck hero. And things don't often go well for love eyed boys in stories. Especially not when your story is a tragedy. Still, he cannot stop himself. Her touch is addictive, her kiss intoxicating, and now that he's felt her attention on him, he doesn't know how he'll ever survive without it. All characters except Odette are owned and created by the queen of literature, Donna Tartt. This story takes place the year before The Secret History and will later move onto the plot of the book with changes to fit the main character and her story. For anyone actually reading this, I am so sorry because I am in the habit of going back and editing, which could absolutely make it confusing. For anyone who's reading this years later, it will be so much better because of it.

One cannot life of their own art, consume paintings, drink poetry. Adelaide knew that from a very young age, she had always felt like it was too late. But in Vermont, consuming Ancient Greek literature like packs of cigarettes, life seemed detached, better, and appealing. a 'the secret history' fanfic by @prettyprophecy

Have you ever wondered what would've happened if Henry Winter survived? Well, now there is a story to tell In the tranquil town of Hampden, Leah Winter and her father, Henry, inhabit a serene world steeped in academia. This scholarly existence has defined Leah's life, and she had always assumed it would remain unchanged. However, when her father's old college acquaintances unexpectedly reemerge, their presence unearths buried truths about Henry. As Leah delves deeper into their past, the shadows of her father's darkest secret begin to flicker into the light, challenging everything she thought she knew about him and the quiet lives they've led for so long.

Henry Winter was supposed to be dead. But the bullet missed its mark. Instead of dying, Henry vanished-disappearing into the shadows of Europe, a ghost among ruins and forgotten libraries. Now, years later, he lives in exile, haunted by memories of a past he can never escape, trapped between survival and oblivion. This is the story of a man who chose to live in silence - where love, guilt, and myth blur into one.

In una Parma rarefatta e fuori dal tempo, Maël - un ragazzo solitario, straniero a se stesso - viene trascinato dentro un gruppo di studenti belli, colti, enigmatici: Dante, il leader magnetico; Gioele, l'androgino teatrale; Tobia, silenzioso e impenetrabile; Lorenzo, semplice e confuso. Tutto comincia con una lettura di tarocchi, una lezione di letteratura francese e una bicicletta rotta. Poi un'auto avorio sotto casa, un invito inaspettato, tra sfide intellettuali e rituali di iniziazione. I cinque si rincorrono in una partita senza regole, fatta di citazioni letterarie, giochi di potere e seduzioni ambigue reciproche.

Harry was supposed to travel to the past and finally get a chance at a happy life with its soulmates. But Fate decided to interfere so, instead, he's brought into a parody of his favorite book, The secret History, where all the main characters wear very familiar faces.

⋆｡°✩┊ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐗 𝐎𝐂 ━━━━━━━━ ✦ Velvet and Ruin ✦ ━━━━ ✦ 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕: Ophelia Blackwood enters the room like a myth: pale, precise, and unknowable, her presence as jarring as winter against the old wood and whispered Latin. With her austere demeanor and unnervingly sharp mind, she unsettles the group-intellectuals, eccentrics, and self-made gods who don't take well to disruption. As the days grow colder and the air grows heavier with things unsaid, Richard watches a quiet shift take place-one that begins with a question of hubris and ends with something far more dangerous. Ophelia isn't just a new student. She's a mirror. A blade. And maybe, a reckoning In which, an emo girl enters their secret club and ruins their beliefs. And their fun.

A re imagining of The Secret History with my own characters and plot twists. Basically we had a project for biology homework to write a short story incorporating DNA into a crime scene and I wrote this, so I thought I'd share it for anyone who wanted to read. I'm truly expecting this to get no reads, it's just a headshot split over 8 chapters. I may consider writing it in more depth when I get more time, but here's a couple thousand word short story for anyone who's interested.

Henry Winter had always been an imposing, emotionless figure. But all is bound to change when a girl who reminds him of a lost sheep transfers into his precious Ancient Greek class. Will he pause his plans for her or will his murderous urges be too strong?
